President Trump’s first weeks in office have brought funding freezes, tariffs and a crackdown on diversity efforts. While courts have halted some of them, small businesses faced with higher costs, steep interest rates and more cautious consumers share a similar message: This isn’t helping.

Donald Trump took credit for Biden's stock market when Trump wasn't president--and he is now blaming Trump's inflation on Biden when Trump is president. Donald is always the first to take credit and the last to take responsibility.

The biggest cage match ever will be between Musk and Trump. Elon will try to implement AI in a manner that automates much of what Trump is now trying to control. Trump will have no understanding of what is going on and will have to turn to the AI oligarchs to support him in this battle.

USA had the foundation needed to put this together. Medicaid and Medicare. People in USA pay big insurance premiums and taxes. Say you pay 10,000$ a year for insurance plus 6,000$ a year for taxes. Even if your taxes go to 10,000$ a year for universal healthcare you still save 6,000$.

Republicans handed Musk’s team access to Medicare & Social Security data. It's not about fraud—they want to gut benefits to fund billionaire tax cuts. I won’t stand by while they loot the country. I’m fighting to revoke Musk’s access, stop this coup, and hold everyone responsible accountable.

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!

A lot of people have mused over the last few months about why Kamala Harris didn’t win. Those discussions often overlook the amount of voters that RFK Jr brought with him. Trump over promised and was able to recapture the fringe that once abandoned him after his Operation Warp speed.

The United States has surrendered to fascist Russia without a fight. There’s no resistance—Moscow’s assets are walking straight into power. Musk at the top, with Trump, Vance, Hegseth, Gabbard, Patel, and RFK Jr. lined up beneath him. This isn’t a takeover. It’s a handover.

RFK Jr is neither qualified nor competent to lead America’s public health agencies. He is an unacceptable choice whose elevation to this Cabinet post will jeopardize public health. This nominee deserves broad opposition and I will vote against his confirmation on the floor.

The way Republicans have been voting to approve OBVIOUS, unfit buffoons like Pete Hegseth and RFK Jr proves that either they think those cabinet positions are utterly meaningless, or they're just too cowardly to stand up to trump for anything. Or both.
