Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy aren’t free—they’re projected to add $4–5 TRILLION to the national debt in the next decade, and as much as $35–50 TRILLION over 30 years including interest.

Billionaires cash in while America pays the bill.

It's been 200 days since masked government goons abducted Rümeysa Öztürk for writing an op-ed they didn't like.

She's no longer behind bars, but they're still trying to deport her, and they still don't want the public to know why.

The U.S. government is hiding Öztürk records. Its rationale is insulting

If the government was really concerned about protecting privacy, it wouldn’t have abducted and detained Öztürk for writing an op-ed

They don’t want you to realize that the House has been on a weeks-long paid vacation because they’re scared of a vote to release the Epstein Files.

What are they trying to hide?

They get 175k a year in salary.

Did you know Nixon never served a day in prison because he was pardoned?
But his Attorney General did.
His Chief of Staff did.
His Domestic Affairs Adviser did.
His Special Counsel did.
His campaign chairman did.
Even members of his re-election committee did time.

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!
