Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.
Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

This is veteran Thomas Begay, one of the last two living Navajo Code Talkers from World War II. The Trump Administration is removing Navajo Code Talkers from military websites as part of its DEI purge.

Yes, tariffs are a tax, but people don't mention often enough that they are a regressive tax. Taxes on consumer goods tax the poor at a higher rate, as basic necessities are a much larger part of their spending.
If food goes up by 20%, it is a tax on the poor. Rich people won't even notice.

Musk and Trump are trying to dismantle the VA by laying off 83,000 employees.
They are sacrificing the needs of our veterans to give tax breaks to billionaires.
That is something that the American people — Republicans, Democrats, and Independents — will never support.

"Merely pulling Rumeysa Ozturk’s visa wasn’t the point....The point is to create a climate in which agents of the state routinely wear masks to conceal their identities and street abductions are not out of the ordinary." What else *could* be the point?

Masked agents snatching people off the street. Government officials using caged prisoners for propaganda videos. We are the villains.

If this is what it looks like Kennedy got promised a powerful office and a straight up bribe to drop out.
There’s often some horse trading in elections, but paying your opponents to clear the way for you is deeply corrupt.

The Trump campaign disbursed $100,000 to a California law firm that lists Kennedy as one of its attorneys three weeks after he bowed out of the race and backed Trump — the only payment they made to the form during the 23-24 election cycle.

But that could change soon. Trump advisors have publicly stated they want the FBI to be run by Trump and they see nothing wrong with a president overseeing case openings and closings. The potential for abuse of power is significant.
