Why have so many people fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because corporations and billionaires rigged the system in their favor — and a bought-off political establishment let it happen. It's time to fix the system.

Trump sued for using taxpayer money on campaign-style ads ahead of midterms
While Trump himself is not on the ballot this year, Democrats argued the taxpayer-funded ad campaign is part of an effort to bolster Republicans as they struggle to keep control of Congress.

My favorite thing about the Kimberly Guilfoyle donor texts scandal is that it has to be humiliating for her that it’s now public. And it’s got to sting to know that it must have been Eric Deters who leaked her messages instructing him to help her commit tax fraud and cover up the scheme.
