Trump keeps touting plans to deport millions of undocumented workers.

His vile attacks are as dumb as they are racist and xenophobic.

These people strengthen our communities, contribute to the economy, do essential jobs, and pay billions in taxes.

Don't fall for Trump's lies.

Corporations are seeing record profits.

They can afford to charge reasonable prices, they just choose not to.

Instead, they use their Trump tax cuts to buy back their own stock and increase their executives' pay.

Enough is enough. Tax greedy, price-gouging corporations.

.Elizabeth Warren exposes how corporations exploit inflation: General Mills & Hershey's CEOs openly admit to using it as a shield to hike prices—boasting increased profits during earnings calls.

It's not just passing costs; it's maximizing profits under the guise of inflation.

Remember: If markets were actually competitive, corporations would keep their prices as low as possible as they competed for customers.

Instead, the concentration of the American economy into the hands of a few corporate giants gives them the power to raise prices with impunity.

This is a failure of journalism. In a misguided quest for 'balance,' too many outlets ignore bad things about Trump and almost try to conceal good things about Biden to create a false impression that they are equivalent candidates.

Memo to the media:

If you're trying not to 'take sides' in a struggle between democracy and fascism, you've taken the side of fascism.

A pro-insurrection flag flew outside Samuel Alito's home after January 6th.

Clarence Thomas’ wife worked to overturn the 2020 election.

Both justices are set to rule on cases related to January 6th and subverting the election.

Is it any wonder Americans don't trust SCOTUS?

Trump said that he's 'looking at' policies that would restrict birth control access.

He of course later backtracked, but look at his record.

He made it easier for employers to remove birth control coverage from insurance plans.

His Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

Hello?

Americans have every reason to be outraged at how decades of policies that prioritized corporations over people have thrown our economy off-keel. But I believe things are changing for the better, and the balance of power is shifting towards working people.

Ending student debt is good for everyone — not just the people who have debt. When Americans aren't crushed by debt, they contribute to the economy, are more likely to start a new business, start a family, or buy a home, and are less likely to rely on gov't assistance.

A tour de force.

'Empirical data shows that Alito is the most pro-prosecution justice on the Supreme Court, voting in favor of criminal defendants only 20 percent of the time. But he’s tripped over himself to protect one criminal defendant in particular: Donald Trump.'

Trump posting a video calling for “the creation of a unified Reich” was not a mistake.

I believe he is now moving to openly signal his embrace of fascism. Some thoughts. bit.ly/44ZHPAM

If you wouldn't let someone else choose your underwear for you, why would you let someone else choose your elected officials?

The Supreme Court is off the rails — and it’s only going to get worse unless we fight to reform it.

Here are three key reforms Congress should enact to restore legitimacy to our nation’s highest court.

If you believe we must save the planet from the ravages of climate change, don’t sit out this election.

Trump believes that climate change is a “hoax.” He asked the oil industry for $1 billion in campaign contributions.

The future of the planet matters. This campaign matters.

In the past few days, Trump floated the idea of a three-term presidency, posted a video calling for a 'unified Reich' if reelected, and said he's looking at restricting access to birth control.

Take his words seriously. Trump is a major threat to our freedoms and democracy.
