This November, instead of just thanking vets for their service, get involved. At Veterans Community Project, we’re housing homeless veterans and reducing veteran suicide. YOU can help me reach my goal of … out raising my wife Diana for VCP! secure.givelively.org/teams/vetera...

You leak covert CIA ops, criminal probes, and Signal chats, but your healthcare plan is close hold?

Mike Johnson talks about the Republican "healthcare plan" like it's highly classified information: "We're not gonna be on a conference call explaining all our plans and strategies for healthcare reform, because they're leaked in real time."

Donald Trump is refusing to release the jobs data and now his government shutdown has delayed this week’s GDP & inflation numbers.

Trump needs release the data and end the shutdown.

Or the Fed could risk a misstep that hurts American families.

No, Mr. President.

You do not have the right to take away student debt forgiveness from teachers, nurses, veterans and other public servants if they do not show loyalty to your right-wing political agenda.

This is a democracy, not a dictatorship. Rescind this illegal rule.
Trump moves to block public servants from loan forgiveness based on ideology
Those who work with undocumented immigrants, provide gender transition care for minors or publicly protest could be blocked from student loan forgiveness under a new rule.

As the RSF's atrocities reach a fever pitch in Sudan, it's imperative that we act to stop this genocide, which I called on Sec. Blinken to designate last year. The US must hold the UAE accountable for its support of the RSF & halt weapons transfers until they stop arming the RSF.

We have to address the immediate crisis caused by Republican health care cuts. Then, we need to have a serious conversation about how the status quo is not working. The cost of health care is out of control.

While you’re struggling to put food on the table & pay for healthcare, Trump is focused on yet another home renovation project.

He’s auditioning for Property Brothers while you can’t pay your rent.

When families say they don’t know how they will afford life if Republicans jack up their health care costs, THIS is what they mean.

These are the prices that many families in Wisconsin will be forced to pay to get health care. This is what Republicans are OK with.

Trump pardoning the guy who helped boost his family's crypto scheme is par for the course, but we can’t look away.

He’s abusing his power again and again to enrich himself and his family.

The most corrupt president in history — and it’s not even close.
Trump pardons crypto billionaire Changpeng Zhao
The pardon marks the latest example of the abrupt U-turn Washington has taken on digital assets since Trump's inauguration.

Trump pledged he wouldn't touch the East Wing—now he's torn it all down, like he's torn apart our Constitution.

He also promised that his $350 million ballroom wouldn't cost taxpayers a cent. We need to know if he's lying about that too.

NYT Confirms: Trump will DEMOLISH the ENTIRE East Wing of the White House.

The Times says the East Wing is expected to be fully torn down by the weekend to make room for Trump's ballroom for billionaires — despite the fact that Trump pledged the White House would not be touched.

Trump is sending ARGENTINA $20B and increasing their beef imports while STARVING AMERICAN FAMIILIES.

There's funding available to help keep food benefits, but Trump just doesn’t want to provide it.

What'll it take for him to start leading the country he actually lives in?

Trump gave Amazon a $16 billion tax break to accelerate its investments this year.

Now, Amazon will replace 600,000 workers with robots as Jeff Bezos accelerates his plan to automate warehouses.

No. Corporate tax breaks do not trickle down to workers. Never have. Never will.

On Nov. 1st, Wisconsinites will be able to view their 2026 health care premiums on healthcare.gov and see how much Republicans are raising their health care costs by.

We’re a week away from that happening, and Republicans still have no plan to fix this mess they’ve created.
