Walmart is the largest private employer in America, yet 16,055 of its employees were on Medicaid in just 6 states, and 15,515 were receiving food stamps in 9 states. Mostly red states. And those aren’t even national totals. #RepublicanAffordabilityCrisis

Our analysis found that from 2020 to 2025, the rate of deaths involving ectopic pregnancies nearly doubled compared with the previous six-year period. The uptick was steeper in states with abortion bans.

Since the start of Trump’s second term, federal agents have detained at least 70 American children. In one instance, a 15-year-old with disabilities was handcuffed outside a school in Los Angeles when agents mistook him for an alleged gang member.

Regardless of the legality of posting armed national guard members at drop boxes, whether the boxes were open yet, or whether drop boxes qualify as polling sites under the law; the optics are what matter. Lawful or not, it’s overt, intentional voter suppression.
