Fox News polling found Democrats ahead on affordability by 14 points and health care by 21. Republicans can keep screaming about made-up culture-war villains; voters still have rent due, groceries to buy, and medical bills nobody can pay with a grievance.

Enten: "Trump is breaking records. Yesterday the Marquette Law School poll came out -- Trump's worst net approval rating on inflation. Minus 61! That's the worst Trump has ever polled on inflation, & not only that, it's the worst any president EVER has polled on inflation. Worse than Jimmy Carter!"

Atlantic is being paid $14.7 million.

Trump will TACO.

He’ll never allow this to continue. He knows he will lose.

Question is, why does it take the BBC to call Trump out ?

Everyone in the U.S. knew exactly what Trump was doing, but nobody did anything.

Pathetic…

Trump has a rich crony who doesn’t like Bombardier, so he wants to put them out of business resulting in 3,000+ Americans losing their jobs in red states. Because he cares more about his billionaire friends than American workers. If only workers in those states realized it.

Federal corporate political spending has already reached nearly $650 MILLION ahead of the midterms, according to Public Citizen.

That’s an all-time high — and we’re still months away from Election Day.

Big Money is the real threat to “election integrity.”

Three Vietnam War veterans asked a federal judge to prevent work from starting President Trump’s planned 250-foot-tall arch.

The veterans have warned it would harm their experience of visiting nearby Arlington National Cemetery.
Veterans make emergency request to block construction of Trump’s arch

A couple days ago, Mike Johnson mocked Thomas Massie for suggesting House leadership could keep Congress out to avoid the new Epstein Files Transparency Act, calling the idea “stupid” and “nonsensical.”

Now he has canceled the final two weeks of September.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
