Trump's out-of-control DHS agents aren't going after the "worst of the worst" like they claim—they're arresting and detaining CITIZENS. More than 500 of them! Republicans in Congress are doing nothing to hold Trump accountable for these constitutional violations—VOTE!

Americans can feel it, now the numbers confirm it: Inflation is only getting worse.   End the war, protect our troops, lower costs — it's that simple. The fact that Trump refuses to do so — while he uses the Oval Office to make money for himself — is shameful.

Trump's arch is not about national security. It’s about his own personal insecurities.
A Panel graphic of Senator Duckworth speaking at a press conference in Washington, D.C. There are three images of Senator Duckworth speaking with text that reflects what she is saying over each picture. First, "This arch is about Trump's personal insecurities." Second, "I don't know what he's insecure about." Third, "He must have a lot of insecurities because he certainly is trying to make up for it everywhere he can."

As men we’re often taught to chase lives defined by vanity and hollow expressions. But genuine decency lasts far longer than any name on a building Occasionally, in our lives, there are markers that arrive with enough strength to hop us off the treadmill just long enough to remind ourselves that everyone’s race has a finish line, and none of us are getting out of this jolly for free. One of these blots is often when someone we know passes away. Continue reading...
