75% of Americans don’t want a data center in their neighborhood, but Trump’s EPA is greenlighting data center construction at the expense of our health. My new report details how Lee Zeldin is bending a knee to Big Tech by rolling back protections and failing the public.

Trump had $400 million in his PAC and he STILL decided that he needed to steal taxpayer money to pay for campaign ads for the midterms.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

It's already estimated that the richest 1% alone evade $163 billion in taxes every year. But Trump gutted the IRS — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires. The agency's audit revenue fell 35%. Now, Trump's IRS is not publishing data on unpaid taxes. See the problem?
