It might seem surprising, given Trump’s rampant corruption, that Republicans think corruption is a winning issue for them. But, with recent research showing voters believe both parties are corrupt, the VP is aggressively making the case that Democrats are the fraudsters instead. trib.al/NGAiaKb

America didn’t turn ugly because he became President. No. He became President because America was already this ugly. That’s the uncomfortable truth nobody wants to admit.

Not that anyone needs a reminder but this man has the nuclear codes. He's posting unhinged AI slop and far too many people just shrug it off. Trump is unwell, and he is a danger to us all.

The Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act of 1965 this week. It was a slap in the face to the countless activists who fought for the VRA — and those who died for it. But we cannot give up. Here's how we should respond.

John Lewis said it best: In a democracy, the right to vote is the most powerful, nonviolent tool we have. People marched, protested & bled for that right. But today it's under attack. We must defend the right to vote & we can start by passing the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.
