I just got back from the Middle East. What I saw made clear that Trump and Hegseth aren’t telling the American people the full story about the cost and damage of this war. Here are my four biggest takeaways.

Americans are struggling to afford basic necessities, yet the Trump Administration is wasting $1M in taxpayer dollars on political ads. This is unacceptable. That’s why I joined my colleagues in demanding DHS Sec. Mullin end the use of taxpayer funds for political ads.

Tomorrow, on October 1, the biggest transfer of wealth from the working class to the wealthy hits a critical milestone. Many of the provisions from the Big Ugly Bill will go into effect, harming hundreds of thousands of Michiganders in order to create tax cuts for the richest people in America.

NEW: Mitch McConnell just released a statement that he has been discharged from rehab and is now recovering at home. It's been almost two months since McConnell was last seen in public. He has refused to speak on camera to confirm his faculties, despite demand from Gov. Beshear.

It's strange. No photos of Mitch McConnell leaving the rehab center. None of him arriving at the departure airport. None of him at the arrival airport. None of him arriving at his Kentucky home. None whatsoever. Just a statement and reporters giving a quick salute.

I used to be a Social Security trustee. The real reason the program is in trouble has nothing to do with the postwar baby boom or increasing life expectancy. It's because of widening inequality. Watch.

I’ve been yelling about it this all year. Municipalities still act like these are unfortunate incidents instead of what they are. They’re attacks on critical infrastructure. We’ve underinvested in modernizing essential systems and infrastructure while degrading cybersecurity.

It's not about one US Senate seat. It's about all of us together. It's about a belief that we can take our government back from the very people who want to monetize us at every turn. The fomentors of inequality. The drivers of war and genocide and apartheid. We get to decide.

Control of the House came down to 7,000 votes in five districts during the last midterms. We can’t take anything for granted this year, especially as the regime threatens mail-in voting, targets registration programs, and even tries to ban states from encouraging people to vote.
