Webster's dictionary "trumpery"is defined as worthless nonsense or trivial or useless articles. It can also refer to showy but worthless finery, or deceit and trickery.

Forget about ghost stories this Halloween. Here's something truly terrifying: Lies about our economy that just won’t go away.

Letter to the Editor:

It’s the People’s House, yet the people were caught completely off guard finding a pile of rubble where the East Wing once stood. This is truly symbolic to our country’s current state.
Letters: The demolition of the East Wing is an assault on the People’s House
We the people run this country, and yet we’ve been left in the dark during its governance for the past 10 months.

Nevada regulators have accused Elon Musk’s Boring Co. of nearly 800 environmental violations in the last two years as it digs a sprawling tunnel network beneath Las Vegas for its Tesla-powered “people mover.”

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

I’ve asked White House contractor ACECO whether it followed asbestos safety rules during the East Wing demolition. Cutting corners is reckless and a threat to workers and public health. Everyone near the demolition site deserves answers.

Mike Johnson sets record refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva for 36 days after she won election. Why isn’t there a penalty for the House Speaker refusing to do their job?

This was the plan all along: Fox News airs hack blogger Tara Palmeri's setup gotcha attack against Congressional candidate and human rights activist Kat Abughazaleh. Joey Jones can't pronounce her name. Self-identified "Nazi" Greg Gutfeld calls her "Kat Abu Ghazi, it sounds like a terror prison."

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.
