If you're 60, 69.1% of all job growth since your birth occurred under Democratic administrations. If you're 45, that number is 74.7%. If you're under 28, the number is 100%. Happy Labor Day.

The regime is defunding community policing while expanding a federal force. It's not only handing obscene amounts of $$$ to ICE, but transforming the FBI, Justice, SC, and even the National Guard from public servants to loyalists or tools.

The Supreme Court is supposed to stand up for our rights and America’s ordinary citizens. But the only people that win when the MAGA justices rule are the wealthy and powerful. That’s why we’re joining thousands of working people to make our voices heard this weekend. Find a rally near you!

The issue isn’t that Maxwell lied throughout her entire proffer. She has been lying, deceiving and manipulating people her entire life. I expect it from her. The issue is that the US Department of Justice gave her very tangible benefits already for those lies with more to come.
