Speak to a demographer for five minutes and they will tell you that most of the decline in births is just “there used to be a lot of really big families, now 3 or more kids is rare”. This banal and non-alarming fact hardly ever gets mentioned in these “demographic panic” pieces.

Trump’s sons signed a weapons deal with the Air Force during a war Congress never authorized. Amazon paid $40 million for a Melania documentary, then won a $581 million no-bid Pentagon contract. The corruption is not hidden anymore. It is the business model. November cannot come fast enough.

A graphic with a black background. The headline reads: Statement from DNC Chair Ken Martin.

White text below states: “Today is a dark day for America — the Supreme Court just rolled back the clock on the Civil Rights Movement. The GOP-captured Supreme Court just effectively killed Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, a major step back in the fight for racial justice and fair representation. While today’s decision is a gut punch, make no mistake: Democrats will fight tooth and nail to ensure the voices of all Americans will be heard in November and in every election that follows.”
