Arkansas bans nearly all abortions, calling itself a "pro-life" state.
It has the nation’s highest maternal mortality rate.
One of the highest infant mortality rates.
It's one of two states that cut off Medicaid to mothers 60 days after giving birth.
How is this "pro-life"?

Trump's Project 2025 calls for slashing regulations on nuclear reactors on p. 369 of their playbook. On p. 371 it calls for privatizing nuclear waste disposal.
What could go wrong?

Clarence Thomas ruled in favor of Citizens United. Harlan Crow and his family's political contributions then went up 862%. Then we later find out Thomas let Crow take him on lavish trips, buy his mom's house, and help fund his wife's conservative nonprofit. See how this works?

Boar’s Head is recalling 7 million pounds of deli meat due to a listeria outbreak.
Who issued the recall to protect consumers? The USDA.
Who just released a budget proposal that cuts USDA funding? House Republicans.

Trump is Project 2025. It is his plan, written by people he hand-chose, to put every aspect of Americans' lives under MAGA control. I'll be releasing a video about it soon, but in the mean time, please read this.?

2024-07-02 15:41:04

So let me get this straight: The so-called "originalists" on the Supreme Court have essentially given the U.S. president the power of monarchs. Just days before the 4th of July, mind you. The hypocrisy is staggering.

2024-06-30 20:04:04

The number one thing we should still be discussing from the debate is that Trump refused to rule out another January 6 attack.

One of the richest men in the 1920s was Andrew Mellon — an early prophet of trickle-down economics.
Yesterday we learned that his grandson, Timothy Mellon, gave a Trump super PAC one of the largest political donations ever.
This is how dynastic wealth works.
Wealth tax now.

Louisiana's GOP governor signed a law requiring public school classrooms to display the Ten Commandments.
Project 2025, developed by MAGA allies, has plans to infuse ‘Christian nationalism’ in a Trump second term.
Republicans are coming for the separation of church and state.

In a misguided effort to be "unbiased," most news media have stopped calling Trump's Big Lie about the 2020 election what it is. Instead they're using terms like "false statements" or "claims without evidence."
Memo to the media: Calling out lies isn't "biased." It's your job.

A recent report found that Americans have become less likely to go out for a workday lunch, and more likely to eat a brought-from-home lunch at their desks.
Do you go out for a lunch break? And if not, why not?

The Appeal to Heaven flag isn't just tied to Jan 6.
It's a Christian nationalist symbol.
Christian nationalists believe that the law of the land is not the Constitution, but instead the law of God as they interpret it.
Do you see the problem with Alito flying this flag?

Trump asked Big Oil execs to give him $1 billion for his campaign.
He promised lower taxes and a rollback of Biden's climate regulations and clean energy programs in return.
Trump is literally willing to take bribes in exchange for the destruction of the planet.
Be warned.

2024-04-11 16:25:03

Trump keeps telling the lie that he's being prosecuted "by Biden."
False.
Four different grand juries, made up of ordinary citizens, voted to indict him after reviewing substantial evidence that he had committed crimes. That's how the criminal justice system work

If the Kroger-Albertsons merger goes through, that combined company + Walmart would control 70% of the grocery market in over 160 cities.
Think grocery prices are bad now?
Without competition, it would be a price gouging free-for-all.
This is why the FTC is suing to stop it.

"Reminder that special counsel Hur's classified documents investigation exonerated President Biden and recommended no charges.
Trump, on the other hand, has been charged with dozens of counts for his alleged retention of nat'l security documents (which included nuclear secrets.)"

The price of Huggies diapers went up 6% between April- June 2023.
Inflation, right? Wrong.
Kimberly-Clark, the maker of Huggies, reported that the cost to make its products fell by $75 million.They took the money and ran, banking $168 million in operating profits in Q3 2023.
Now, new research shows that corporate profits drove 53% of inflation during the 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2023. During the 40 years prior to the pandemic, profits drove just 11% of price growth.

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

No Labels is a dark money group with secret far-right donors.It’s not trying to find the so-called “middle ground.”
It’s trying to put Donald Trump back in the White House.

Republicans passed a ~$2 trillion tax cut for the rich and added $7 trillion to the national debt under Trump. And we're supposed to believe they're risking a shutdown because they care about "fiscal responsibility"?
It's all just a game to them.

2023-09-26 16:06:19

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office.
2) Elected officials rewrite the rules in the donors' favor.
3) Donors make a huge profit.
4) Repeat.
For the sake of democracy, we must get Big Money out of politics.

BREAKING: A grand jury of Georgia citizens has reportedly indicted Trump on charges including racketeering and conspiracy for his alleged efforts to overturn the election results in that state.
This is his 4th indictment. He already faces 78 felony charges in 3 other cases.

Let’s be clear: If we allow a former president to completely avoid accountability for inciting an insurrection against the U.S. government, we will be inviting it to happen all over again.
Prosecute Donald Trump.

Just another reminder that trickle down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.
