DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

🚨 SLC joins the list of cities where someone who HAS documents is ignored and abducted in the light of day. And people just stand there and fucking watch, just like they did in 1938. You should be so ashamed for just standing and gawking. 1/2

What’s draining tax dollars isn’t SNAP, it’s corporate welfare and billionaire tax breaks.

FACT: Even people working two jobs still need SNAP.

Where’s the outrage about that?!

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.

Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

Many people understand the game South Korea is playing but giving Trump a gold crown a week or so after massive No Kings protests in US is a really bad look.

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

Yesterday the US Senate aggressively challenged Trump’s failed economic policy, voting 52-48 to roll back his tariffs on Brazil.

Late this afternoon Trump suffered another humiliating rebuke, as the Senate voted to roll back his tariffs on Canada, 50-46.

Big Pharma’s patent abuse costs Americans $40 BILLION every year.
They file endless patents to block generics and keep prices sky-high.

It’s time to demand accountability and real policy reform to stop drug companies from gaming the system.

A hugely important paragraph from @willbunch.bsky.social:

www.inquirer.com/opinion/trum...

We need to understand Trump’s war on the different because we need to defeat it. Boomers of my generation were born into the world of stigmatization and conformity that Trump wants to bring back, erasing the liberation movements that have been the victory of our lifetime. Sure, I want the next president to care about affordable healthcare and lowering egg prices, but America also needs leaders who will celebrate and defend our fundamental human right simply to be different.

Of course countries can’t be openly hostile towards the felon so hopefully they are just feeding his ego to placate him but hold firm on negotiations.

And perhaps trolling him in their own way.

Facts are politicians & wealthy businessmen everywhere always want more opportunities to obtain more.

Last time we checked, Republicans still control the House, Senate and White House.

They have the power to reopen the government, but they refuse.
