Civility doesn’t seem to be working either.

This is how many hours per week a person needs to work in order to escape poverty. The US is dead last. #Poverty #USA

Trump again proves he is focused on all the wrong things. These firings put his chaotic, short-sighted decision making norms on full display. Weakening our country by gutting the Pentagon only further demonstrates that he doesn’t put our national security first. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/u...

We asked Senate Republicans: is there any millionaire or billionaire rich enough who doesn't need another tax giveaway? $10M a year? No. $100M a year? No. $500M a year? No. $1 BILLION a year? No. With Republicans in control: Billionaires win, families lose.
