Today, we honor the 216th birthday of Abraham Lincoln by carrying out his legacy in the continued fight for democracy & truth. The party he built has been bastardized - he wouldn't recognize it today. With our institutions & freedoms in danger, Lincoln's memory is more important now than ever.

On Monday, USAID's IG warned that Trump's agency cuts have made it harder to root out fraud and abuse — and that nearly $500M in food was about to spoil due to Trump's foreign aid freeze. On Tuesday, Trump fired him. So much for transparency.

Under oath, Kash Patel said he was unaware of plans to dismiss FBI agents before he was confirmed. Today, whistleblowers revealed Patel was reportedly directing those dismissals. Covertly. Yet another reason he must be rejected.

A deep far right red County in Tennessee by the name of Greene Country is now begging the orange felon to reverse his decision to ban the minting of pennies because it would cripple their already suffering local economy. Another case of FAFO. Don’t cry, enjoy what you voted for.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.
