In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

After trying to buy a state Supreme Court seat in Wisconsin, Elon has turned his attention to PA's state Supreme Court, which has 3 Democratic seats up for retention this November. Will you join us in fighting back?
Congratulations to Wisconsin Dems for keeping their state Supreme Court majority!

Even though Elon spent over $25 million to buy the seat because Tesla is expecting a lawsuit before the court, Susan Crawford won by double digits.

This isn’t the only state Supreme Court race Elon Musk is trying to buy this year. He’s already pumped money into PA’s state Supreme Court election. But with your help, Dems will stop him again.How can I help with PA’s state Supreme Court elections?

Presidents usually do all they can to avoid recessions, so much so that they avoid even saying the word. But President Trump and his advisers have offered a very different message. Yes, a recession is possible, they have said. Maybe one wouldn’t even be that bad. Many economists disagree.

Trump Says a Recession Might Be Worth the Cost. Economists Disagree.
