The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks. The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. When Trump touts the stock market as a sign of a good economy, remember who is benefiting the most.

Leya, a Cuban immigrant, said her boyfriend gave her a black eye and was arrested once before on suspicion of abuse. But after he called 911, she was the one who was detained by ICE, separated from their nursing daughter.

Super PACs & dark money groups have spent $2B+ on this year's elections — the most ever for a midterm cycle. That includes hundreds of millions in misleading ads from AIPAC, crypto, AI, and Elon Musk's political machine. But organized people can still defeat organized money.

Ukraine bombed Russian data centers and shut down Russian spambots. So the world's richest man -- a Hitlerite pedophile and top US defense contractor -- shut down Ukraine's internet. Elon is a traitor, an enemy of the American people. The next administration should seize everything he owns.

Ukrainian presidential advisor Serhiy Beskrestnov confirms Elon Musk's Space X crippled Ukrainian capabilities last night. In other words, the US deliberately sabotaged European defence operations mid-mission. Every country in the world should move away from buying American hardware ASAP.

Billionaire families have spent $1.7 BILLION on the 2026 midterms so far — a 5,200% increase since the 2010 midterms. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day. Big Money is the root of our dysfunction.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $8 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of American households is worth just $4.27 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Trump showed up in Texas looking for cheers. Instead, his rally turned into absolute chaos. Protesters interrupting, Trump supporters getting physical, shouting matches, and security scrambling. So much for that Paxton boost.

The government doesn’t track how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. So ProPublica did. We’ve tallied more than 500 Americans held against their will in warrantless arrests and detentions during President Trump’s second term.

The Trump administration is considering data center-related projects across at least 17,600 acres of public land — far more than previously reported. Reminder: 70% of Americans oppose data centers, but Trump is heavily invested in the corporations pushing AI. Always follow the money.

I remember when polio put my friends into iron lungs. We lined up at school to get vaccinated. We eradicated the disease. We protected the common good and saved lives. Now, two MORE unvaccinated people have died from measles. What RFK Jr. is doing to public health in America is a disgrace.

Could new bus shelter roofs help New Yorkers stay cool in extreme heat? We're testing a few in Brownsville to find out: a green roof covered with native plants, and reflective roofs covered with low-cost, heat-resilient film.

See this chart? Workers’ share of the nation’s income is at the lowest it’s been since records began in 1947. Corporate profits’ share, on the other hand, is the highest it’s been since 1950. This is why we must build back worker power.

More Palestinians have been killed (1,300) since the so-called ceasefire began in Gaza on 10th October 2025 than Israelis were killed on 7th October 2023 - including ten times as many children (300!) as were killed on 10/7. This is what a 'ceasefire' looks like for Palestinians.

👇🏽Exactly as many warned. Their cruel racist deportations of innocent people aren’t freeing up jobs, they’re hurting the economy. Immigrants are not the problem. Greedy corporate oligarchs — and the politicians they own — are.

ICE arrests have hit a record high for Trump's second term. A vast majority of those who have been arrested are people with no criminal history. Remember that private prison companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group were some of Trump's biggest donors. They're now reporting billions in revenue.

Trump has made baseless claims that mail-in voting is “cheating,” “corrupt,” and “horrible.” During his bonkers primetime address in July he claimed, without evidence, that “mail-in ballots are inherently corrupt.” Utter horseshit. There is zero evidence of widespread fraud. Meanwhile...
