Another day.

Another presidential threat to jail two of his political opponents.

While we still have a democracy left.

If you live in a red state, you’re getting screwed the hardest by Trump and Republicans.

📌 The top 10 states facing the highest projected premium increases are all Republican led.

Greg Abbott is a lackey of Donald Trump.

He’s going against exactly what he said he would do last year.

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law.

A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections.

We need to stand up together and speak up.

Gov. JB Pritzker on Trump: "He likes to pretend to be a tough guy. Come and get me."

"What kind of a country are we living in where the President of the United States is targeting his political opponents?"
