As the civil war in Sudan enters its 4th year, the RSF continues to commit genocide with impunity. As I told this Trump official — if ending this genocide is a priority we need ACTION. To get results, the US must use our immense leverage to get the UAE to stop arming the RSF.
🚨 NEW from the American Medical Association: RFK Jr.'s recommendation for babies to forgo the hepatitis-B vaccine will likely lead to more infections in our kids, increased rates of liver cancer, & death.   RFK Jr.'s conspiracy theories are putting lives at risk.   He must go, NOW.
Trump's corruption has been well documented, but perhaps one of his most outrageous — and lucrative — schemes has been his personal meme coin. Since its launch, Trump has made over $200 MILLION from it while those everyday Americans who have invested have lost BILLIONS.
Today, after 75 days, Republicans finally passed the same DHS funding bill they could have passed back in February — a bill to fund TSA, FEMA, & the Coast Guard without giving a penny to Trump’s lawless ICE & CBP.  75 days of pure political theater. Total incompetence.
As Trump ramps up his threats of war against Cuba, we must understand what led us to this point: 65 years of a bankrupt Cuba policy. If we want to avoid war with Cuba, we must rein in this lawless President & learn from the failed, bipartisan policies that led us to this point.
61 days into Trump's illegal war in Iran & gas prices are at a 4 year high, averaging around $4.30 per gallon.   Trump broke his promise to keep us out of war and bring prices down. But we can help do both now by ENDING this war which is making us less safe and worse off.
“Our president will start a war with Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate," - Donald Trump As Trump's Iran war drags on, remember: President Obama ensured Iran couldn't get a nuclear weapon without starting a war. It was Trump who ripped up that deal.
Trump's sucking up to Putin & his refusal to support Ukrainians’ efforts to defend their democracy has caused 2 U.S. ambassadors to leave in under 2 years. Trump & his cronies want to get their hands on Ukraine’s minerals. They don’t give a damn about the freedom of its people.
Lady Liberty is crying. Trump is doubling down on his global apartheid policy, refusing entry to real, vetted refugees.   Instead, he is using fake claims of “genocide” to admit white South African "refugees." Since October, they make up 99.93% of refugees admitted to the US.
Must be a total coincidence that the FCC launched this probe right after Jimmy Kimmel told another joke Trump didn't like.   The FCC can try to dress this up however they want, but this is just another flagrant attempt to silence Trump critics & stifle free speech. variety.com/2026/tv/news...
This "case" — like the last one — is a clear political persecution. The Trump DOJ continues to act as the President's personal attack dog, using taxpayer money to settle Trump's petty grievances. This is blatant authoritarianism.
A huge scam: Trump’s DOJ is now using taxpayers as a piggybank to pay off his followers. 

They have spent $8.5 million and counting of your money to pay off frivolous claims, enriching his friends while corrupting our justice system.
Today, Speaker Johnson and House Republicans once again refused to pass the Senate's bill to fully fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. Do your jobs: Quit blocking this and focus on getting prices down and ending Trump’s illegal war!
