Mike Rogers was a leading advocate for boosting opioid prescriptions. He took over $1M from Big Pharma. He has always prioritized personal profit over the health and safety of Michiganders. That's not public safety. Watch our new ad, "Safe."

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Your regular reminder that if not for the Trump and Bush tax cuts, federal revenues would keep pace with federal spending indefinitely. Instead, these tax cuts have added at least $10 trillion to the debt. The so called "party of fiscal responsibility" is full of it.

Deadly storms ripped through Indiana, tens of thousands remain without power, Puerto Rico is rationing water amid a severe drought — and Trump has not said a single word.

Make it make sense. Donald Trump keeps trying to restrict mail-in voting — but just voted by mail for the SECOND time this year. Clearly, the “problem” isn’t election integrity. It’s who gets to vote.

The Trump regime made the largest healthcare cuts in history, slashing more than $1 trillion from Medicaid, Medicare, and the ACA. At the same time they gave away $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest one percent.

George Washington instituted a system where new recruits would be inoculated with Smallpox immediately upon enlistment, so they could recover & be protected by the time they joined up with the Continental Army. America's independence was won thanks to a vaccine mandate. 💙 #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Fact: When a Democratic politician/candidate turned out to be a very bad person like Platner and Sen.Bob Menedez ,the Democratic party gets rid of them While a GOP politician or candidate turns out to be criminals or destructive to the party like Paxton , they'll support them all the way to hell

ICE fatally shot a man in Houston yesterday. Agents arrested a nun on her way to mass. An Afghan who helped the U.S. military died in ICE detention, one of at least 21 people to die in detention this year. The headlines have moved on, but Trump is still waging his reign of terror.

Juneteenth is not only about freedom. It’s a reminder that rights guaranteed on paper mean little when the powerful ignore them. Though enslavers of Texas knew slavery had been abolished, they did not act until it was enforced. Today, rights are denied again. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

open.substack.comJuneteenth Isn't Just History. It’s a Warning.This holiday reminds us that rights are only real when they're defended.

Trump is asking Congress to eliminate LIHEAP, the bipartisan program that helps with high winter and summer utility bills. It would save the government $4 billion by hurting millions of Americans. Meanwhile Trump is suing our IRS for $10 billion all for himself.

Chief Justice John Roberts helped Bush steal the 2000 election, gutted voting rights in 2013, reproductive rights in 2022, enabled SCOTUS corruption & gave Trump near unlimited immunity. He’s now shocked that the fascist he empowered is lashing out at him. Leopards Eating Faces. Reap What You Sow.

Colbert made a point about something that probably bothered a lot of people, me included. In his SOTU, Trump said “voting is a privilege.” A privilege is something to be earned, and some people can be denied that privilege. No. Voting is a right!

He doesn’t like doing things to benefit the people. He not at all interested. He lies and takes credit for the good things that President Biden & others have done because lying & bragging are less work & what he does best.
