If you let billionaires avoid paying their fair share of taxes, you have to cut spending somewhere — like health and education. See the problem?  www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/u...

Trump says AI doesn’t need guardrails — only a “strong and smart” president. He just so happens to be heavily invested in some of the biggest corporations pushing AI. Why should we trust him to protect the public when his own financial benefit is at stake?

President Trump promised there'd be no cuts to Medicaid. Then he pushed through his One Big Beautiful Bill, which cut Medicaid by nearly $1 trillion and has already caused over 5 million Americans to lose health insurance. Read my take in @nytopinion.nytimes.com: nyti.ms/4xOJVR6

After the pandemic, real wages grew strongly across the board — and pay rose faster at the bottom and middle than at the top, by the widest margin on record. Under Trump, real wage growth has cratered, and the lowest-paid have fallen furthest behind.

Officers shooting a man, running away from law enforcement, who is not a target of law enforcement, and who poses no threat to law enforcement, is murder. Federal officers do not have the power to commit summary executions because they are aggrieved.

The U.S. spent $103 billion in the first 120 days of Trump’s war on Iran. That could fund… -Food stamps for an entire year -Medicaid coverage for nearly 30 million children -ACA subsidies for about 2.5 years It’s not a question of what we can afford. It’s a question of priorities.

Here's what the SAVE Act actually does to you:
Your driver's license? Not good enough.
Your REAL ID? Nope.
Your military ID? Still no.
To register, or even update your registration after moving, you must show up in person to an election office with a passport or birth certificate. A passport costs at least $165. A certified birth certificate runs $10 to $50. A lost naturalization certificate costs $1,385 to replace.
That's not a safeguard.
That's a poll tax.
Online registration is used by 42 states and would be eliminated. Mail registration would end entirely.
Already registered for years? Doesn't matter.
Move down the block, change your name, switch your party? You're back in line at the election office with documents in hand.
