BREAKING: President Trump has repeatedly claimed that Democrats are cheating by allowing noncitizens to vote. But the poster child of Monday’s voter fraud sweep — who the DOJ alleges was illegally registered to vote in L.A. — is a registered Republican lamaterial.com/p/voter-frau...

lamaterial.comPoster Child of L.A. Voter Fraud Bust Is Registered RepublicanFeds arrested more registered Republicans than Democrats in Monday’s voter fraud sweep in L.A., according to an L.A. Material review of voting records.

May I offer suggestion for someone to blame? 🙋‍♂️ How about the President who started war with Iran after saying for a decade that he wouldn't? Or the guy who said he'd end inflation & made it 10X worse? Or the guy who misled #USA on tariffs & started Trade War with Canada? www.cnn.com/2026/10/15/p...

Real America's Voice interviewed a guy at the Trump rally in Ohio who blasted Trump for peddling "lies and garbage." He went so hard on Trump and JD Vance that they cut the interview short.

A lot of MAGA influencers on X are seeing their engagement PLUMMET today. Even official White House accounts are seeing far fewer defenders in their comments. Why is that?

Your electric bill is up as much as 30%. PG&E's CEO took home $63.6 MILLION. Duke's CEO took home $51.2 MILLION. And both companies paid NEGATIVE federal tax rates. That's not a coincidence. That's a rigged system. Tax the rich.

This is now a standard part of Trump's campaign stump, a direct threat to voters: if you elect Democrats, I won't send you FEMA money, and I may take away your Medicare and Medicaid, too. These transcripts will be useful for litigation to follow.

Trump could nominate the worst person with a law degree in America and this Republican senate will confirm that person. That includes Susan Collins, who always confirms Trump’s justices. The only chance you have to keep that person off the court is to elect Democratic senators.

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

Trump didn’t confront Putin about putting bounties on American troops and didn’t confront Xi about providing intelligence to Iran to target American troops. Trump doesn’t GAF about our military. #FDT

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

Talarico wants data centers to pay for their own grid upgrades, recycle their water, create real jobs, & get a community's consent before moving in. Paxton took nearly $500,000 from the industry. Texans want a senator who fights for them. That's why we will have a #BlueWaveIn40Days

The vicious and corrupt cycle of monopolization: 1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market. 2) Use their monopoly power to price gouge consumers and shaft workers. 3) Use profits to make political donations. 4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement. 5) Repeat.

NEW: Donald Trump made 1,156 personal financial trades in July. It should be illegal for the president to trade individual stocks - period.

It is a shame that #USA media focus so much on Trump's idiotic, gaslighting, threatening speech, when they really should be emphasizing Antonio Guterrez's opening speech & Mark Carney's presser. At least CNN has this, but we should hear the adults at the #UN speak too: www.cnn.com/2026/09/22/p...
