President Trump attacked another country unprovoked and without seeking authorization from Congress as required by our Constitution, ignoring his own intelligence advisors, putting American lives in jeopardy and choosing to escalate in a region already on edge.

The price tag for Trump's pardons is $1.3 billion and the American people are footing the bill. We deserve leaders who are accountable to the people they serve, not loyalists, or their wealthy friends. www.axios.com/2025/06/17/t...

My heart breaks for Adriana Smith, her family, and baby Chance, who had to enter the world this way. Georgia’s fetal personhood law denied Adriana Smith’s family the ability to say goodbye to her on their own terms. Instead, her body was used as an incubator for nearly 4 months.

DHS saying ICE wasn’t conducting an operation is pure BS. We’ve seen the admin lie consistently, and our communities know what we saw. Immigrant advocates and our neighbors will keep looking out for each other and staying vigilant.

Trump is scrambling to spin this. Netanyahu wasn’t trying to help diplomacy; he was trying to destroy diplomacy. How do we know? They reportedly targeted and killed Iran’s chief negotiator with Trump.

The genocidal government of Israel is expanding their imperialist war, and the Trump administration is backing them. To stop them, DSA is helping to build a working class mass movement to end the genocide, end the occupation, and end military aid to Israel!

Trump and Republicans’ bill will be bad news for your health care. Medicaid is being cut. Health insurance premiums jacked up. Slashing funding for rural hospitals. All to fund tax breaks for corporations. When it comes to the Senate floor, I will be voting NO.

BREAKING: A new analysis has found that under the Republican budget bill our national debt will begin driving up interest rates, almost immediately. The effect? 5 years from now, a typical 30-year mortgage in Oregon will cost almost $19,000 more in interest alone.

We should be fighting to block the Republicans' budget bill — not getting distracted by Elon Musk and Donald Trump having a little disagreement about how many Americans they want to let die. All so that billionaires get a tax cut and Elon gets more federal contracts.

American citizens, legal residents, children – they’ll all be arrested en masse and shoved into ICE detention centers because Donald Trump has a quota for human suffering to hit, and he doesn't care how he gets there. The only question is when the atrocities reach our families.

The President’s “Trump Coin” is worthless–except for the millions he and his family have pocketed from supporters. He’s selling a scam from the Oval Office, and Americans are struggling to afford groceries.

Republicans keep backing this madness. Trump announces ruinous economic policy, then chumps out, and round and round we go as we circle the drain. Let’s hope the GOP doesn’t codify Trump’s Big Bonanza for Billionaires and do irreparable harm to the economy.

In their budget, Republicans are not only stripping away Americans’ health care and food assistance – but they’re also trying to close reproductive health care facilities. 1 in 3 women already can't access this care, so we won't stop working to restore Roe as the law of the land.

While Trump’s been shaking down Qatar for his $400 million Bribe Force One, they’ve also been pressuring African nations to grant Elon Musk licenses for his satellite company, Starlink. In this Gangster State, government is an instrument for private self-enrichment—not the common good.
