NEWS: The Senate GOP just blocked our resolution to stop Trump from further sabotaging the Affordable Care Act. Trump and Republicans own every closed hospital, every person without insurance and every skyrocketing premium that follows.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

Trump's Iran War has sent mortgage rates skyrocketing. His trade wars have increased the cost of construction. His mass deportations have decimated the home-building workforce. And his HUD cuts have devastated affordable housing programs. "Make America Affordable Again."

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. In 2025, he made 1,794x more. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers? I will continue my boycott of Starbucks.

$4,500 may not be a lot of money to a billionaire but it sure is to most Vermont families.   New data shows that Trump’s agenda is making it even harder for folks to make ends meet than before.
What could you do with an extra $4,500?

That's how much the average Vermont household has now had to spend thanks to Trump's agenda.

For generations, Vermonters and Quebecers have shared families, communities, and deeply close connections.   But even with that in mind, we’re still facing the fallout from stunts that Kristi Noem pulled, and we have small businesses that won’t survive this trade war.

Social Security’s trust fund will be depleted in 2032 if Congress does not act– meaning payroll taxes would only be able to pay about 78% of scheduled benefits. For many seniors, a 22% reduction could mean the difference between staying above or falling below the poverty line.

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.

You don't need a private company to pay a parking ticket. You don't need one to get Social Security or Medicare. But somehow you NEED a private company to file your taxes. And that company pays $0 in taxes on $6 billion in profits. And gets $1 billion in tax breaks. RIGGED.
