NEW: Social Security is a sleeper 2026 campaign issue. Senate candidates like Talarico (D-Texas), Turek (D-Iowa), El-Sayed (D-Mich.), Osborn (I-Neb.) are calling to lift the payroll tax cap to avoid a 22% benefit cut. The shortfall hits in 2032, or six years. www.nbcnews.com/politics/202...

Senate candidates run on raising Social Security taxes for higher incomes to prevent benefit cuts
Social Security is projected to dip into insolvency and force a 22% benefit cut in 2032, or less than six years, meaning the class of senators elected this year will have to address the issue.

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

In ‘24, out of approximately 245M Americans who were ELIGIBLE to vote, 174M voted. Trump created an affordability crisis, war, dared Iran to bomb 2 American cities, & attacked our rights to free speech, press, privacy, & due process. Don’t sit this one out! Vote for a better life, & vote early.
Text at the top of the cartoon says: “This is one of THE most important comics of all time. Please vote this year! The comic is a drawing of two groups of people. One group is wearing “I voted” tshirts. The other group are wearing blank tshirts and the dialogue balloon above their heads says: “WE DIDN’T VOTE BECAUSE IT WON’T MAKE A DIFFERENCE!”

LA is HOT. But does it have to be this hot? Did you know shade from a single tree can drop temps by 20° or more? Yet working-class neighborhoods like South LA, East LA, and the Valley get the least tree coverage and bear the brunt of extreme heat. Let's finally cool things down for everyone.

Household debt at a record high. Student loan defaults at a record high. Credit card debt at a near record high. Meanwhile, corporate profits are the highest they’ve ever been. CEOs are paid 325x more than their typical workers. U.S. billionaire wealth is up 30% in a year. It's unsustainable.
