Videos that promote Trump can’t be accused of meddling in the midterms, the White House argues, because "President Trump is not on the ballot." That's funny, because Trump has explicitly urged his supporters to "pretend I’m on the ballot."

Congratulations, You’re a Trump Campaign Donor
Your tax dollars are funding his TV ads. And the White House says you should be proud to pay.

George W. Bush had plenty of opportunities to speak up. January 6th. The January 6th Committee. Trump’s return to power. Mostly silence. But now he’s stepping back into politics to help Republican senators get reelected? Yeah. I have some thoughts.

Calling something “illegal” only matters if the law is actually enforced. Mike Johnson and the Supreme Court need to enforce it. No president should be free to ignore the law to punish enemies, reward allies, and enrich himself.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

A meme featuring Dolly Parton standing in a brightly lit kitchen wearing a pink-and-white gingham shirt and a floral apron. She is smiling while rolling out dough on a counter with a wooden rolling pin. Text at the top reads: "9/25 IS DOLLY DAY". Text at the bottom reads: "DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE OUT SOME BANANA PUDDING AND SWEET TEA".

Honestly, does LeBron really need to pad his bank account by encouraging people to bet their kids‘ lunch money? It seems predatory, and of course a lot of other rich sports figures do it too.

My mom worked hard, but we needed help from programs like SNAP and Medicaid to get by. Now, Donald Trump is gutting the same programs that saved my life. I'll never forget where I came from - and I won't stop fighting until we restore the cuts from the Big, Ugly Bill.
