The people in power in Texas are making it harder to vote on purpose. They know when young people & Black voters head to the polls, the status quo changes. Voter suppression is proof that your voice has the strength to break their hold on the state. Your vote is their biggest fear. #BlueWaveIn50Days

You may not be interested in politics, but politics is interested in you. Every time Republicans cut services, every time your rent goes up—that's politics. They're betting you won't show up. Prove them wrong. If we're not at the table, we're on the menu. #BlueWaveIn50Days

ProPublica reports that Umar Kremlev spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on the wedding, including renting out a private island that can cost around $100,000 a night and paying for a massive fireworks show. Kremlev had been awarded Russia’s Order of Friendship by Putin just weeks before.

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War — leading to a $93B windfall for the eight biggest oil companies in Q2 2026 alone. Meanwhile, Trump himself has raked in up to $15.5M from his fossil fuel investments since January. Don't forget what this was really all about.
