⚠️ Weeks before the midterms, Georgia's GOP-controlled election board is asking the Trump DOJ to declare the state's federally certified voting machines illegal. It's an extraordinary attack by unelected officials — and the DOJ has no legal authority to do it.

The GOP promised their tax cuts for the rich would lead to growth. But growth slowed down. They said their tariffs would bring back manufacturing. But factory jobs are down under Trump. Republican policies don’t work. Change begins on November 3.

Yeah, so what happens with our only job growth when a trillion dollars in Medicaid cuts begin to kick in?

CNN on the last jobs report before the midterms: "It came in cold -- surprisingly cold. Job growth weaker than expected, unemployment unexpectedly went up, and paychecks aren't keeping up with prices. This was disappointing all around."

Sen Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) on jobs report: “Trump’s economy has only added 33,000 jobs a month on average, far below the 120,000-a-month average in 2024. At the same time, paychecks are growing at their slowest rate in nearly 7 years”

David Crowley saw tough times growing up. Then, when he was elected to a position of responsibility, he delivered so that fewer people would go through what he did. That's one reason I trust David to lead Wisconsin.

DoorDash spent $1.4 million trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming NYC mayor. Mamdani just made them pay $131.5 million in wage theft settlements to 264,000 delivery workers. This is why they fear working class solidarity. It comes with accountability.

Truckers on skyrocketing diesel prices: "We can't continue to run like this." Semi trucks can carry up to 220 gallons of diesel fuel, which costs $1,320. So if diesel goes up, shipping costs go up with it and inflates the price of everything.

Senate Republicans refused to convict Trump after Jan 6. Republican SCOTUS appointees gave him immunity. Republicans in Congress today stand idly by as he unleashes death and destruction across the globe. We are now at the whims of a mad king because GOP leaders have refused to constrain him.

A newscaster interviewing Trump asks, “Of the 15,000 lies you have told the public while in office, which one is your favorite. Trump’s face reddens and he answers, “I don’t lie!” The newscaster smiles and says, “yeah, that’s my favorite one too.”
