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.

In Trump's second term, Bezos has received... -Huge new tax cuts for himself and Amazon -Millions of dollars in new Blue Origin federal contracts -A slap-on-the wrist FTC settlement for Amazon -A gutted NLRB led by a union-busting lawyer No wonder he's been such a Trump sycophant.

Wall Street profits and bonuses are poised to hit a record high. CEO pay is up. Corporate profits are skyrocketing. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. Meanwhile, inflation eats up the paychecks of working people as the social safety net is cut out from underneath them. Trumponomics.

25 years ago today, the U.S. launched its war in Afghanistan. Weeks earlier, Barbara Lee was the only member of Congress to vote against the 2001 Authorization of Military Force, warning it would be a blank check for forever wars. History has proven her lonely and courageous vote right.

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.

Remember: Wealth cannot be separated from power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people. Taxing the rich isn't just an economic issue, it's a defense of our democracy.

A naked, gold-covered Trump statue has been unveiled inside the European Parliament in Strasbourg. It’s called “Orange Plague,” also known as “King of Injustice,” and shows him sitting on another man’s shoulders holding an enormous golf club. Covered in reportedly 23-karat gold, of course.

This is from a now not-anonymous woman who was a child when Trumpy told her he would kill her and her family if she ever said anything. Toady Blanche is making sure all the girls (now women) he assaulted don't talk. ut those of us who are paying attention 100% know what Trumpy did to so many kids.

Pete Hegseth gave a speech in front of a backdrop that almost perfectly matches Nazi imagery. Meanwhile, Trump calls opponents “vermin” who he will “root out,” and says the blood of our country is being poisoned. We are far past left vs right. Our choice is democracy or fascism.

I don’t control the message or what we’re doing. I don’t have ability to change anything. I have to live with whatever I’ve got. It’s a challenge.”
