Well done, Virginia.

As it turns out, raising prices on health care, ripping away food assistance and doing nothing to lower the cost-of-living for working families is unpopular.

Trump’s fixation on White House ballroom is increasing, Post analysis finds The president has publicly highlighted his ballroom project on roughly a third of the days this year.

President Trump cares more about his $400 million golden ballroom than he does about getting much-needed relief to working families.

Democrats demand Trump administration halt plan to collect federal workers' health data After KFF Health News reported that the Trump administration is seeking federal workers' medical records, Democratic lawmakers are insisting that the Office of Personnel Management drop its request.

After EVERYTHING this administration has done to harass federal workers, why on Earth would we trust them with  their sensitive medical records?

They have NO reason to have them.

Anyone Trump appoints to the FED will be his lapdog. This is going to further screw our economy.

At least 17 people have died in ICE custody so far this year, part of President Trump's dramatic increase of immigration detention. "I have never seen anything like this, where I'm seeing ICE reporting out at least one death per week," says Setareh Ghandehari with @detentionwatchnetwork.org.

"ICE is determined to expand its capacity to detain people to more than 100,000 people at any given time, which is really a shocking number and parallel to the number of Japanese Americans that were incarcerated during World War II."

Dockworkers Against Russia’s and Israel’s Wars In Sweden, workers boycotted Russian ships in response to the invasion of Ukraine, and then did the same for Israel’s arms trade. Their action shows the power of working-class solidarity against militarism.

No Wrongful Execution for Tony Carruthers Tony Carruthers was convicted without physical evidence, based solely on testimony from informants. Now, Tony is scheduled for execution on May 21st by Tennessee after being forced to represent himself at trial. Join us in calling for fingerprint and DNA testing before a possibly innocent man is put to death.

One month from today, Tennessee might execute an innocent man. The state refuses to conduct basic DNA and fingerprint tests that could show that Tony Carruthers did not commit the crime.

Tell Tennessee to make sure they got the right person before taking this irreversible action.

Americans deserve to know who’s behind those suspiciously timed Iran war-related trades and bets Feds must probe suspicious trades during ‘Operation Epic Fury’ amid insider knowledge fears.

(NY Post): Trump should urge the SEC, the CFTC or both to look into these transactions. If the public is left wondering, it may well come back to haunt the president — and Republicans more broadly.

This is a rotten deal that the Trump regime has rubber stamped.

State AGs must step in and block it.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces.

Equals 10 nuclear reactors
Reduces heat island, shades cars

The US -- 800 million parking spaces. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight.

Why aren't we doing this?

Too many of our kids are getting killed, because of thoughtless assholes like Republican Speaker of the House Mike Johnson.

This mass shooting today happened in his own district. He said “thoughts and prayers” but did nothing AGAIN.

Remember this when we can take back the House in November.

Behind Trump’s Public Bravado on the War, He Grapples With His Own Fears The president’s impulsive style has never been tested in a sustained military conflict, and he’s been ruminating on Jimmy Carter’s failure in Iran.

Truth to power right here. The immoral regime and cult calling out anyone is fucking ridiculous. They worship and obey a man who embodies the seven deadly sins—pride, greed, lust, envy, gluttony, wrath, and sloth. 🙄

Gotta give credit where credit is due. Donald Trump is doing an absolutely terrific job appearing unstable. No one can do it better.

Get your butt into the streets and walk yourself to the ballot box. Use your fingers to dial up Congress.

We are the only ones that can save us. #FDT

We Can't Rely on Impeachment Or the 25th Amendment to Save Us From Trump's Chaos Instead of looking for a magic bullet in the Constitution to bring Trump down, progressives and anti-Trumpers should concentrate on building a lasting, broad-based, and genuine pro-democracy movement.

The conventional thinking that Trump will eventually suffer Nixon’s fate has been proven wrong. The Republican Party of the 1970s was tethered to constitutional governance. Today’s GOP has degenerated into a neofascist political cult, writes @blumslaw.bsky.social.

6 days after Trump made 13 celebratory posts in a hour claiming that Iran surrendered to all his demands and the war is over, he’s back threatening to blow up power plants and bridges.

This just about sums it up. #Trump #Medicaid

To Stop Trump, the Pro-Democracy Movement Must Center Workers Marches alone won't beat authoritarianism; the movement has to fight where working people already fight.

Our hope for defending democracy is in a movement of the multiracial working class that wins material gains and builds solidarity across race, industry, and immigration status.
