I hear that the people of Minneapolis are painting tunnels on walls for ICE to crash into.

A recent survey found that 92% of U.S. adults have delayed or avoided medical care due to high costs. Meanwhile, a new study from Yale estimates that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have universal healthcare.

Why would Trump end a program that saves you money by letting you file your taxes for free with the IRS? Maybe because TurboTax's parent company donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Call it out for what it is: corruption.

after the indy car race today, that's pretty much a wrap for the commemoration of america's 250th. if it's all felt a little underwhelming, don't forget that there was supposed to be a lot more celebrating all across the country, but trump cut funding for all of it: www.notus.org/agencies/dog...

Then Trump redirected the money for his own beautification projects.

Psychological warfare against US / it's just so wrong. This whole country was built by immigrants. ICE is operating just like Hitlers SS did.

Trump’s ICE Death Squads don’t just kill — they CREATE the kill shots. Masked agents ambush cars, spook drivers, then gun them down when they flee. Speeded-up videos, racial profiling, families forced to watch executions. Maine. Houston. Minnesota & more... while Trump golfs. This is state terror.

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Republicans' next big legislative push includes: ✅ $70+ billion for ICE & Border Patrol ✅$1 billion for Trump’s ballroom ❌ $0 for health care ❌$0 to help you afford the basics Budgets show your priorities—and this makes clear Republicans won't lift a finger to help working families.

94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. 85% of teachers are working second jobs during the school year, often just to keep up with the cost of living. Meanwhile, the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Something has gone terribly wrong.

A gallon of gas is now 50% more expensive than when Trump started his Iran War. In the war's first month, the 100 biggest oil and gas companies brought in an extra $30 million per HOUR in windfall profits. Trump's Big Oil donors come out on top while the world suffers.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.
Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.
