This is a book I wrote for kids back in 1993. Because he seems to have missed Environment 101 somewhere along the way, I’m thinking of sending it to the President. Good idea?

Trump is DOUBLING prescription drug prices for millions of seniors with his cuts to Medicare drug plans. We’re talking about seniors rationing life-saving drugs and skipping meals to afford their medication. It's disgusting. This is Trump’s America.

I’d be curious to know what the Justices say about Trump during their deliberations, if anything. While their decisions are supposed to be Constitution based, there is after all context for all their deliberations. Is it possible they’re not worried about giving him unlimited powers?

Trump has no business calling Democrats “godless communists.” He knows nothing about godliness, is not a devout anything, and plays footsie with the world’s major communist, Vladimir Putin. If ever there was a godless president, it be him!!

AI pet scams are becoming increasingly rampant as people use this tech to claim they have your missing pet. The FTC ought to be warning more people about this scam’s red flags—sharing doctored photos, claiming the animal is injured, demanding money.

Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...

Melania Trump wants these photos and emails to be scrubbed from the Internet. Please stop liking and sharing them. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Dear Mr. President, Did any of your military advisors suggest to you that waging this war against Iran was a bad idea for multiple reasons? If so, please dump Secretary of Defense Hegseth and replace him with that guy. This is a horrible, destructive quagmire and just plain wrong.

Americans overwhelmingly oppose the U.S. entering into war with Iran. The U.S. government should work to deescalate the crisis, prevent a full blown war, and not escalate tensions that put our national security at risk. sign.moveon.org/petitions/no...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.

A UAE investor secretly gave Trump $187 million and his top Middle East envoy $31 million. And then Trump gave that investor access to sensitive defense technology that broke decades of national security precedent. Brazen, open corruption. And we shouldn't pretend it's normal.

So, what is it? Why are so many billionares , media folks, and business tycoons cow towing to Trump? I’m assuming that not all of them agree with his policies, so what’s their shtick? Is it just that he can reward them with contracts? Or are they afraid he can really hurt them? Sent from my iPhone

1/24/26 Dear Mr. President, If you truly want to make America great again, please start by seeing that all who work for you abide by our Constitution!! Thank you. Anita Holmes

1/24/26 Dear Mr. President, Your whole cabinet, your aides, and all those around you seem not to understand what America is about. None seem to understand our Constitution. How else can you explain why lawlessness is rife throughout your administration?

1/24/26 Dear Mr. President, I didn’t think it was legal or okay in America for law enforcement and/or the military to gun down protestors or to hold them on the ground and shoot them point blank. But this is what’s happening and I’m sickened by it.

THIS WEEK: I will join Senators Kaine, Schiff, and Paul in forcing a vote on our bipartisan War Powers Resolution to stop any further military action in Venezuela without Congressional approval. The American people did not sign up for another round of endless wars.

Lots of great non-Starbucks options for your coffee! Pay them a visit until the greedy Starbucks owners decide to treat their workers with dignity.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The fix is in. Ghislaine Maxwell, transferred to a club med prison after Trump's lawyer met with her (and she likely spilled what she knows about Trump), is now being waited on "hand and foot" by guards and is getting her commutation application ready with help from the warden.

This is not a ceasefire. Trump took a premature victory lap without the underlying issues (including Netanyahu s full buy in and Hamas disarmament) being solved. He sold us on something that didn’t really exist.

The Republican One Big Ugly Bill cut $186 billion from SNAP. That’s the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history. And now the extremists want to force millions more to go hungry. Enough.

The “No Kings” protests weren’t just filled with powerful signs — they had some unforgettable costumes, too. A standout moment: Donald Trump, JD Vance, Kristi Noem, and Stephen Miller portrayed as convicts in shackles.

The function of the American health care system is to make huge profits for the insurance and drug companies. Not acceptable. Our job is to fight for the U.S. to join the rest of the industrialized world and guarantee health care to all as a human right.

Every major Democrat has millions in their campaign account. The threat to democracy is big enough that we need to be funding mobilization and messaging right now - not just banking money for the next election. If we don't build right now, there might not be another election.

Every day there's a new corruption story. Anyone one of these could bring a Democratic president down. But because we normalize Trump's corruption, we don't even notice some. Like this one: the Trump family is getting into the drone manufacturing business. Hear me out.

It's important you notice what Trump's Treasury Secretary said the other day. He slipped and admitted that the new Trump accounts - with a measly $1,000 per person - are "backdoor for privatizing Social Security." He actually said that. I need to explain to you what it means.

Now Republicans are trying something different: quietly weakening the law and hoping you won’t notice. We can’t let them. It’s up to all of us to vote for leaders in every election who will make our healthcare system better, not undermine it. Call your member of Congress and hold them accountable.

5/ His family gets in on the grift too. His son is opening a new private club in DC - with a $500,000 entry fee. Donald Jr. markets it as the place to meet with his father's Cabinet. They don't even hide the access game, naming it "The Executive Branch".

The story of how Trump sells access to the White House - to benefit himself and his family financially and to benefit his political operation - is shocking and sordid. No President has ever monetized access like Trump has. 1/ It's a story you need to know.
