If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.

The Trump arch, the Trump garden of heroes, the Trump-Kennedy Center, President Donald J. Trump Airport, the list goes on. Why should your tax dollars have to pay for an unpopular president's vanity projects?

94% of teachers have to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. 85% of teachers are working second jobs during the school year, often just to keep up with the cost of living. Meanwhile, the average Wall Street employee got a bonus of $246,900 in 2025. Something has gone terribly wrong.

MLB team owners have an average net worth of $4.7 BILLION. That's $260 million a year. They'll each get an average $286,000 tax break next year. So why are streaming packages out of control? Why does a day at the ballpark cost an average $225? Greed. Tax the rich.

I Googled crowd sizes for PGA tour events and it averages about 40,000. I know 100 people compared to 40,000 to watch golf isn't a legitimate polling metric but the 33% approval rating the MSM claims he owns seems like a juiced # when fans boycott HIS event at this scale.

So, let me get this straight. Republican lawmakers are holding a late-night talk show host to a higher standard than the president of the United States? Asking for a concerned nation getting ready to launch a blue tidal wave in November.

The harder Trump attacks progressive policies, the more popular they become. Turns out people like healthcare, humane immigration, and abortion rights.

So… I’ve been thinking… if Democrats can take over Congress in November they need to set up a commission to investigate whether or not the Republican Party has any ties at all to America.
