REMINDER: When Biden left office inflation was 2.9%. Now it's 3.7%. When Biden left office gas was $3.10 per gallon --now it's $4.33. When Biden left office Diesel was $3.63-- now it's $6.29. This is 100% TRUMPFLATION. Only people doing well now are Trump, his corrupt family and his oligarchs!

In the 25 years since 9/11, the United States has spent $8 trillion+ on wars that have taken millions of lives in the name of fighting "terror." Can you imagine if we had instead invested those funds here on climate, health care, housing, and education?

Donald Trump and Republicans want you to think they’re bringing back the “Golden Age” of economic prosperity of the 1950s and 1960s. But in reality, they’re dragging us toward something else — the Gilded Age of the 1890s. Watch.

He's not ushering in a New Golden Age. He's taking us back to the Gilded Age.

Donald Trump's declining health should be a constant news story. Whether or not a president can do the job isn't just about elections. It's about the security of the nation.

Trump promised in 2024 he would deliver a "brand new economic boom". Two years later, his economy is crumbling under record high debt and inflation. He's running the country like he ran his businesses — right into the ground.

Let’s set the record straight: Trump is not a “successful businessman.” He is, objectively, a business failure.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

Plus: Zeteo has new polling on how Americans are reacting to Trump’s crypto corruption. Oh, and Milo Yiannopoulos is sorry-not-sorry after his deportation, while the Iran war is cooking back up.

Home for my parents' 40th anniversary 🥳 With guests gone, I get to play on my very out-of-tune piano from childhood. My piano teacher died two weeks ago, so I've been reminiscing with the pieces she taught me. Much of that old music is still in the piano bench. Edelweiss - Rodgers/Hammerstein
