I used to be a Social Security trustee. How can we fix Social Security without cutting benefits or raising the retirement age? Scrap the cap. This is a plan that even some Republicans are starting to get on board with. Let me explain. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfZuB7XSFys

40% more kids are eating breakfast and 15% more are eating lunch since we launched free school meals in Minnesota. Now we’re making sure 100% of kids eat their broccoli.

The bottles change; the grift doesn’t. Immigration panic, tariff pain, election lies, crypto hype, billionaire tax cuts and industrial-strength grievance — each hawked as the miracle cure for the damage caused by the last one. The villain is always somebody else. The bill always lands on you.
A densely detailed political cartoon styled as an old-timey county-fair advertisement. A heavyset, orange-faced showman with blond hair and an absurdly long red tie stands in a wagon beneath a huge sign reading “TRUMP’S MIRACLE SNAKE OIL.” He shouts, “Step right up! One bottle fixes everything! Believe me! Everyone else is a crook!” Shelves behind him hold remedies labelled Immigration, Washington D.C. Beautification, 2020 Election Fraud, FIFA Control, Tariffs, Mass Deportation, Border Wall, Crypto, Billionaire Tax Cuts, Trade War, Coal Revival and Grievance Fuel. His audience consists only of a bewildered elderly man and a toddler. Surrounding signs promise “alternative truth tonic,” warn “results not guaranteed — blame someone else,” and command: “Don’t think! Don’t ask! Just buy!”

Virtually every time someone is caught committing election fraud, it is a Republican. This is so well documented over the last 50 years. Hell, even the Heritage Foundations own records back this up. They KNOW, but they can’t rig it to stay in power by telling the TRUTH.

As Americans struggle with the cost of rent or mortgage payments, the president has a message for you: buzz off. He’s not interested. He made two billion off the presidency last year, and he couldn't care less about the hardships of ordinary people.

Every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness. This is yet another desperate attempt to undermine the midterms.
