Trump has a ridiculous meme coin but here's something that actually makes sense: Investing in Democrats. The returns will be great, helping to stop the right-wing chaos, holding bad actors accountable, and giving a brighter future for generations.

On Constitution Day, we celebrate our rights and freedoms and our democracy. Donald Trump doesn't care about our country's ideals, and his Republican enablers gladly look the other way when he tramples on the Constitution. But that's not who we are as a country.

Do you remember where you were on August 28, 2014? The country would never be the same after that day, all because of the actions of one man: President Barack Obama. He made the unthinkable decision to walk into a news conference...in a tan suit. Gasp!

A nation cannot get ahead while leaving workers behind. That's why Illinois raised the minimum wage. It's time for the rest of the country to do the same.

On this day 62 years ago, President Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 into law. This landmark legislation outlawed racial segregation and discrimination in the United States. Of course, as history showed, more laws, including the Voting Rights Act a year later, were needed.

“I’m glad he’s dead,” says Trump, the head of the Republican Party, about a Vietnam veteran, Purple Heart recipient, federal prosecutor, and FBI head. Don’t let Republicans lecture about morality when their leaders celebrate the death of someone like Robert Mueller. Trump continues to be a disgrace.
