Last year, Trump promised American oil executives “a great deal” if they donated $1 billion to his campaign.
Today, he gave them Venezuela — home to the largest oil reserves in the world.
This new war is not only illegal and reckless; it is deeply corrupt.

That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers.

Conservatives yell “socialism” at every initiative designed to help people.
Maybe you've heard the word a few times already today.
But this is nothing more than an old scare tactic.
A functioning government requires pooling resources for the common good. Let me explain.

At least 30 people have died in ICE custody in less than a year under the current administration. With the massive increase in detainments, conditions inside ICE detention facilities will only get worse, leading to even more deaths.

ICE unlawfully grabbed our client Rümeysa Öztürk off the street and sent her to a for-profit detention center in Louisiana — all for an op-ed she co-authored in her student paper.
What happened to Rümeysa is part of a broader crackdown on the First Amendment and immigrants' rights.

Republicans gave $132 billion in tax breaks to the top 1% in 2027.
With that money, we could have extended ACA tax credits for over 20 million people next year and still have $100 billion left over.

Around 70% of the U.S. economy depends on consumer spending. As wealth concentrates in the richest 10%, the rest of America can’t afford to buy enough to keep the economy running.
This is a huge problem — and even America’s most powerful CEOs are starting to sound the alarm.
