NEW POLL — 76% of Americans agree: banning price gouging, lowering drug prices, capping insulin costs, and paid family leave would help families. Over 80% back Medicare negotiating drug prices and a $35 cap on insulin. These policies aren't just popular—they're necessary.

Red states disproportionately benefit from education subsidies like Head Start — it’s weird that Republicans at Project 2025 want to cut the program. Morning Joe

For voters, gun reform isn't partisan. The majority of Americans across the political spectrum (including gun owners) want more safety protections. But for lawmakers, it's absolutely partisan. It is Republicans who have blocked meaningful gun reform for the last 30 years.

Arizona is going to have a huge, Grand Canyon-sized impact on this year's election. If you live in Arizona, you're going to want to watch this video. And if you know someone in Arizona, send it to them.

Let me get this straight. Republicans are banning books, drag shows, and life-saving gender-affirming care, all to "protect children" But they're also rolling back child labor laws, blocking gun reform, and passing laws to force adolescents to give birth. Do I have that right?

The more Trump can tear down democracy, the safer the oligarchy becomes. That's why the billionaires who once disavowed him are quietly crawling back. Fascism backed by Big Money is one of the most dangerous political alliances.

The 400 richest Americans pay a lower total tax rate than any other taxpayers. We know Trump wants to cut their taxes even more. What will Kamala Harris do about this soaring and shameful inequality? bit.ly/4dPnTnL

Spoiler: He doesn’t actually have a plan to make childcare more affordable. But he does have a plan to establish across-the-board tariffs on imports that will lead to huge price hikes and hurt everyone but the very wealthy.

Sure. Why not put the safety and security of our nation in the hands of the guy known for exploding cars, exploding rockets, and a collapsing social media platform. What could go wrong?

Conservatives say we can’t bring up gun reform after a mass shooting. But if we have to wait for a time when there isn’t a mass shooting to talk about gun reform, we will always be waiting. Only in America do we refuse to act.

Why is the New York Times auto-tuning Trump’s incoherent blather? They’re actively working to hide his mental decay. That’s not journalism. It’s propaganda.

The Economist is arguing that Ticketmaster price gouging fans is good because if concert tickets were too cheap people would buy them then not show up. Simply lol.

Billionaires shouldn't be allowed to avoid taxes by using their massive wealth as collateral for bank loans — especially because they often live off those loans as if they were income! This is why we need a wealth tax.

I'll be hosting another watch party on my YouTube channel during next Tuesday's presidential debate. Trump and Harris' mics will be muted during some portions of the debate. Mine will not. Join me! bit.ly/4eeJ6qL

In 2025, the top 1% will get a tax cut of more than $60,000. Meanwhile, the bottom 60% will see a tax cut of less than $500. This is why we called the Trump tax cuts a giveaway to the super-rich. Because that’s exactly what they were.
