This should be getting far more attention from the media, and it should be investigated as a hate crime. A 14-year-old Black teen was targeted, beaten, and dehumanized with racial slurs by white teens while people stood around cheering. 1/4

💚💚 We stand with & support our brave EPA colleagues who took the courageous step to sign a public Declaration of Dissent to their administrator. They do this BECAUSE of their commitment to protecting the environment and American people. Tonight, the EPA illegally fired many of the public signers.

Canceling clean energy programs means fewer projects, higher costs, and more burden on working families. That’s the wrong direction. Clean energy creates jobs, lowers bills, and builds the infrastructure we need.

I’m over 70 and tired of these old people in office right now. The democrats should be loud and marching in the streets with their constituents but instead they are quiet. We need the younger generation to build their future democrat candidates & vote them in office. Let’s get it done.

Democrats just picked up a seat that was +11 pts for Trump in 2024 to break an Iowa supermajority. Trump wants to appear indomitable. But he's also a lame duck and those winds can shift quickly. www.the-downballot.com/p/iowa-democ...

Right! Breaking unions in government jobs and going after other unions was not on the list of doing great work for employees… employers maybe but not the worker.

US BUDGET DEFICIT SOARS The deficit jumped 19% to $291B in July. This is despite $21B collected from Americans due to higher import taxes, which led to higher costs on goods like furniture, footwear, and auto parts. The deficit for 2025 is already $1.63 trillion, up 7% from the last year.
