Trump is threatening to commit massive war crimes against the Iranian people starting at 8 pm tonight.

He is completely unhinged, and it is long past time for Republicans to speak up. Congress should reconvene immediately and vote to end this war, NOW.

Republicans blocked our bill to fully fund TSA & their agents.

This is the 8th time they've blocked our attempts to reopen TSA, FEMA, & other agencies outside of ICE & CBP at DHS.

But they would rather hold these agencies hostage to give Trump's ICE & CBP another blank check.

This week, Senate Republicans are trying to ram through the so-called SAVE America Act, a bill designed to make it harder for certain citizens to vote in order to rig elections in their favor.

This is a fraud masquerading as an election integrity effort.

We can't let this pass.

Donald Trump says the affordability crisis is over.

Is that how you feel?

He might not be focused on helping working families, but we are here in Illinois.

Last year Trump slashed funds for healthcare & food programs. Now he's spending $1 BILLION PER DAY on his war of choice in Iran.

While millions here at home can't afford their basic needs, Trump is spending billions on a regime change war that's making us less safe.

DOJ to Review Whether Epstein Files About Trump Were Improperly Withheld The Justice Department didn’t release notes from several interviews a woman gave to FBI agents in 2019.

The irony of Trump dismissing the Epstein files as a “hoax”, usurping the power of Congress, and trampling on the DOJ’s independence is that any attempt to stop the release of files only adds to the appearance of a cover up.

Have we already forgotten what happened in Iraq?

Over 8,000 Americans killed. The deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians. Trillions of dollars spent.

Nobody has explained how a war with Iran helps America. Because it won't.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing.

These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted.

Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

For all my #OSINT peeps, archive [dot] today has been DDOSing a blog and is using its visitors as unwilling participants in this attack. Read about it here (arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...) and from this blog gyrovague.com.

Donald Trump implemented the largest tax hike in decades on working families — and the Supreme Court just found it illegal.

Tariffs aren’t paid for by the other country — they’re paid by you.

Relief is finally coming, and it’s no thanks to this President.

Supreme Court strikes down most of Trump's tariffs in a major blow to the president The decision does not affect all of Trump's tariffs but invalidates those implemented using an emergency law.

Finally, SCOTUS reaffirms what we've known all along, Trump's tariffs are an unconstitutional tax on the American people.

Over the last year, working people paid an average of $1,000 more because of these tariffs. And Trump has no plan to put that money back in your wallet.

Trump isn't just suing the IRS. He's waging a war on it.

His regime has...

-Shut down the IRS's Direct File program, a huge gift to the tax prep industry

-Gutted IRS staff, leaving fewer employees to assist taxpayers

-Deprioritized federal tax prosecutions, letting tax cheats off the hook

SEN BERNIE SANDERS: We need to cap credit card interest rates at 10%, Trump is right Senator Bernie Sanders calls Wall Street credit card practices "usury" as major banks profit from 24% average rates while borrowing at 4% from Fed.

When big banks charge 24% or 30% interest on credit cards, they are not engaged in the business of "making credit available." They are involved in extortion and loan sharking.

Yes, we need to cap credit card interest rates at 10% and stop Wall Street from ripping off Americans.
