We need a full-on ban on corporate PAC money. I’m one of six U.S. Senators who has never taken corporate PAC checks. Six out of 100. The middle class doesn’t have a lobbyist. They don’t have a super PAC. They don’t have a corporate PAC. But they should have the Democratic Party.

1. Tax cuts that almost exclusively go to the rich 2. Spending cuts that cut programs almost exclusively used by the poor 3. Tariffs, which take a bigger share of the paycheck of working and middle class Americans. It adds up to a striking redistribution from poor to rich.

Please take a moment to watch this clip. I have so much to say about what I think is about to happen now that Trump is about to have his legislative agenda signed into law, but I’m just in the research phase. This is about to get VERY DARK and Americans should be preparing

When the American empire finally collapses, historians won’t be stunned by the greed of the elite; They’ll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor. The working class didn’t just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them. They slashed their

Ladies and gentlemen let me introduce you to Trump’s brownshirts. While they may be described as cosplay military, they are part of the next phase of Trump’s march towards authoritarian rule. They are now the 16th largest funded military on planet earth. Do you think their

My interpretation of Trump’s "turn" 1. Ukraine remains popular with most Americans. So he had to give something. 2. Selling rather than donating arms is business, not strategy. 3. Trump buys time for Putin, as he did before. 4. Much talk, little walk. No major policy change.

One of the commanders of the Azov Brigade just confirmed what I’ve been analyzing for a while: Russia’s biggest mistake was assuming Ukrainians think like Russians. Our mistake was that the Ukrainian state assumed Russians think like us. Ukraine tried to destroy Russia’s
