The House Republicans listed below are vulnerable in 2026. They will only vote to cut our benefits if they think no one is watching. If you live in these districts, or know anyone who does, CALL NOW and tell them to keep their hands off Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid!

He did so back in 2011, along with nine other councillors, over concerns it was too expensive to pump the mineral into the drinking sources of Calgary, Alberta. Since then, the 1.4 million people who live there have been without fluoridated water, and it appears to have come at a cost.

Serious question: can the president just spend all his time in office suing people and then use the litigation as a "legal" way of accepting bribes via "settlements"?

This is how a dictator acts. Sending 30K migrants to Guantanamo—a place w/ repeated human rights violations—is an attempt to evade our legal system & act in the shadows hundreds of miles away. REMINDER—the U.S. affords weaker due process/legal rights for people detained there.

Putting the facility in Guatanamo and not the US mainland is a clear signal that they don't want any law to apply to what happens there. Torture, death, and lifelong detention are not just possible side effects - they are the intended goals of choosing that location.

Trump is doing everything Putin wants him to do: abandoning our nation’s core values, attacking longtime allies, and picking Tulsi Gabbard for a critical national intelligence role. Putin has us right where he wants us, with his puppet as our President. America first? youtu.be/iPXXFfXk5aM

We are in the days of shock & awful, where Trump tries to make people feel so overwhelmed by all the rapid changes & actions that they quit trying to keep up. Don't give into that. Learn about what you have the bandwidth for. Understand that these are steps being taken to break down democracy.
