A reminder for Corporate Democrats: New research from Yale found that Medicare for All would save over 114,000 lives and $1 trillion a year. It's no surprise why the majority of Americans — including 90% of Democratic voters — support it.

We can no longer deny what is going on right before our eyes. Trump is pursing a foreign policy that is in line with the goals of the Putin and the Kremlin not what is in the best interests of the US!

We are projected to spend $268 BILLION on deportations — costing the average American taxpayer about $2,358 (according to @epi.org). But somehow we “can’t afford” to make sure hungry children can eat or ensure everyone, no matter their income, can access healthcare. Priorities.

November is coming for Republicans

That's a big kick in the guts. Payrolls is much weaker, and the U.S. lost -23k jobs in March, well below expectations of +80k. Huge downward revisions, too: May now +63k (instead of +129k), June now +20k (down from +53k). Very bad news. Revise down your views substantially.

Never again

"That’s precisely what’s happening in the United States today."

The air is full of smoke, the food is full of parasites, and the water is full of data center bacteria but at least we stopped all that DEI children's cancer research!

For the third month in a row, Democrats gained more new voter registrants than Republicans, according to pollster John Couvillon. Democrats out-registering Republicans reverses what had been a bad trend for the party, as the Democratic Party had seen membership dwindle since 2020.

So as Americans stay home this 4th of July because it will be too damn hot to be outside, remember Trump is still pushing coal while the rest of the world is investing in renewables
