I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

Qatar gave Trump a $400M jet. Trump gave them a military facility on US soil.

The UAE bought $2B of Trump's stablecoin. Trump gave them access to rare AI chips.

Saudi Arabia invested $2B in Kushner's firm. Trump sold them $142B in arms.

If this isn't corruption, what is?

Reminder that any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message: they can't win on their ideas alone.

The most expensive political ad campaign of the year is being run by the Department of Homeland Security.

$51 million dollars

We have the money to ensure Americans get health care. We just choose not to.

I'm surprised the NY Times doesn't demand that the Pulitzer people establish an award for euphemism. They'd win the Pulitzer Prize for Euphemism every year.
