Rebuild Illinois is one of the most comprehensive infrastructure programs in the nation — and we're making sure no community has been left out.

That includes River Drive in Moline, where we're breathing new life into the community and bringing more foot traffic to businesses.

The hope is that Trumps unpopularity will eventually convince his enables to stop enabling him.

Colombia: “US government officials have committed a murder and violated our sovereignty in territorial waters”

“Fisherman Alejandro Carranza had no ties to the drug trade and his daily activity was fishing.”

“The Colombian boat was adrift and had its distress signal up due to an engine failure.”

And while you’re at it, could you also ask Trump when he’s going to release the Epstein files and prove he’s not a child rapist.

Donald Trump falsely smeared the President of Colombia (the US’ closest ally in Latin America) of being a drug dealer; Trump has been found to have murdered several people in the Caribbean reported by Colombia.

We demand the arrest and removal of Donald Trump for murder.

President Gustavo Petro, of Columbia, is an illegal drug leader strongly encouraging the massive production of drugs, in big and small fields, all over Columbia. It has become the biggest business in Columbia, by far, and Petro does nothing to stop it, despite large scale payments and subsidies from the USA that are nothing more than a long term rip off of America. AS OF TODAY, THESE PAYMENTS, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PAYMENT, OR SUBSIDIES, WILL NO LONGER BE MADE TO COLUMBIA. The purpose of this drug production is the sale of massive amounts of product into the United States, causing death, destruction, and havoc. Petro, a low rated and very unpopular leader, with a fresh mouth toward America, better close up these killing fields immediately, or the United States will close them up for him, and it won't be done nicely. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President Donald J. Trump

The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

Russ Vought set out to ensure a second Trump term would not be hampered by checks and balances: “I don’t want President Trump having to lose a moment of time having fights in the Oval Office about whether something is legal or doable or moral.”

Russell Vought, Trump’s Shadow President

From the wholesale gutting of federal agencies to the ongoing government shutdown, Russell Vought has drawn the road map for Trump’s second term. Vought has consolidated power to an extent that inside...

If you put your ear against the Capitol, you can hear the sound of a man who will do nothing to challenge—and anything to justify—presidential violations of the Constitution, as long as the president is of his own party. ICYMI @saletan.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mi...

Colombia officially accuses the Trump regime of murder after it exposed that Trump and Hegseth ordered the murder of unarmed civilians in order to score political points for themselves. This was civilian murder and a war crime. We demand a criminal investigation and Trump’s arrest.

It's starting to look like it was Trump who taught Epstein about hiring under aged girls to work as 'spa attendants'.

Between the cost of rent, groceries, car payments, and other bills, many Americans are struggling to get by. We can’t let health insurance premiums skyrocket on top of that. Right now, we should be doing everything we can to lower costs and put money back in people’s pockets.
