Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, he instituted tariffs that have doubled costs in some instances. He is unfit to serve as President of the United States.

Billionaires can only succeed if we let them divide us. When we stand together against corporate greed, we build real power.

Our collective action is power that money can’t buy.

That’s what they’re actually afraid of.

Trump claims affordability is a con job. The only con is the man occupying the Oval Office.

Legalizing fusion offers an off-ramp from political disaster. It’s a proven way for minor parties to matter—solving the problems of wasted votes and spoilers—and in an age of hyper-polarization, it allows voters to signal their demand for less polarized politics.

🚨 Mike Johnson is quietly working to strip an NDAA provision that would expand IVF coverage for active-duty service members under TRICARE.

💬 The move could hit military families already facing higher infertility rates — and it breaks his public promises to increase access, not slash it.

Lol remember when folks said economists were “overreacting” about tariffs?
Yeah… about that.

The GOP’s tariff spree is strangling the economy, jacking up prices, and killing good-paying jobs — exactly like the experts warned. 🤷‍♀️📉

Why do Republicans never propose actual solutions to make housing affordable?

Oh right — that might mean taking on corporate landlords and private-equity billionaires… and we can’t have that, can we? 🏘️💸🤷‍♀️

Republicans like to tell us they can’t deliver the policies that would improve life for the working class because we “just don’t have the funds.”

They’re lying.
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.

Trump’s priorities are crystal clear: Big Tech billionaires get the favors, and the American people get left behind. His new million-dollar ballroom says it all.

Republicans want you to believe that this is too much to ask for… It’s a good thing we’re no longer asking.

We’re demanding a government that works for the people, not against them.
Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Americans shouldn’t have to choose between paying their bills and getting the care they need. Republicans promised to lower everyday costs — it’s past time they follow through. Extending ACA tax credits would make a real difference for millions.
Over the next 30 days, millions of people across the country will face an impossible decision:

Forego health insurance or go into debt.

If Republicans don't extend health care tax credits by January 1, it will drive up costs for everyone.⁩

You don’t get to support cuts to SNAP and then claim you care about hungry families. The American people must ALWAYS come first.

We allow billionaires to thrive, but let the majority of Americans drown in medical debt.

A universal, affordable health care system should be the baseline — not the exception.
