AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal—convicted on 34 felony counts of fraud. He is lying, and he is manipulating the stock market too. At his best, he enriches himself, the billionaires who back him, and the members of Congress who trade with him. Not you. Not me. Not the people.

Project 2025 proposes revoking married women's right to vote, allowing only the "head of household" typically the husband to vote for the family. It also targets unmarried women, pushing to strip their voting rights and restrict access to birth control. The SAVE Act is just the start…

The Trump administration pays El Salvador President Nayib Bukele's government $6 million to house prisoners it sends to CECOT. That’s the prison where Kilmar Abrego Garcia is currently being held. If the US controls the purse strings, then don’t pay El Salvador until Abrego Garcia comes home.

The so-called Defense Secretary has ordered 400 books removed from the Naval Academy library. This outrageous ban includes works about Slavery and the Holocaust, but not a book written by Adolf Hitler. The effort to whitewash our history must be reversed and Pete Hegseth fired IMMEDIATELY.

The White House has replaced Obama's portrait with one of Trump right after his first assassination attempt. Strange way to celebrate your own former supporter trying to off you.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Heads up: America doesn't need more babies. It needs accessible and extensive care for already existing babies and the human beings they grow into. Otherwise, fewer babies are a natural and responsible outcome.

Alina Habba has launched a criminal probe into New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy over "ICE obstruction." Immigration control is the responsibility of the federal government. States can’t be compelled to assist ICE under the 10th Amendment. It's amazing this failed lawyer passed the bar exam.

What Dems need to be doing now is registering voters at the rallies and setting up mechanisms so those already registered have the documents they need to vote. Challenging the new law’s legality is also good.

Dear @schumer.senate.gov, So help me God, You f'ing better have your people IN UNISON in voting, "NO" on this preposterous SAVE Act. The 4 House members who went, "yes", are no better than the vermin in the GOP, therefore just cut their futures way short. Get it together Chuck. No more betrayals.

I have to prove that I have a Constitutional right to vote but I don’t have to prove I have a Constitutional right to own a gun - even one w/ the sole purpose of killing a human. This is crazy fucked up. I want to challenge the govt to prove that I DON’T have the right to vote, like they do w/ guns.
