BREAKING: We sued Trump for raiding $20M of your money, some meant to honor fallen officers, for his midterm ads

He says "his" super PAC will cover the tab now. And the millions you already paid?

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult.

A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates.

Dems need to be on the side of the many, not Big Money.

Once again, an independent watchdog found the Trump admin illegally withheld funds, including ~$80 million intended for the Agency for Healthcare Research & Quality here in MD.

Congress must re-appropriate these funds & make clear we will not tolerate these illegal cuts.

Meanwhile, inflation eats up the paychecks of working people as the social safety net is cut out from underneath them.

It’s really remarkable to me that 10 years into this people feel compelled to “clarify” Trump’s homicidal and often genocidal fantasies. It is deranged for the president to daydream about American cities in states he hates getting blown up. Full stop.

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan.

Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars.

History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

Today's jobs report is a reminder that tax cuts for corporations and the rich don’t create jobs or grow the economy.

What's required is investment in working people — and better wages.

When workers have money to spend, the economy grows and businesses create more jobs.
