If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to the Social Security payroll tax, Social Security’s solvency would be guaranteed forever. We could also expand Social Security benefits. There’s no reason even to consider reducing Social Security benefits or raising the age of eligibility.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $20.5M in 2025 — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 958x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

Let’s be clear, there is a literal convicted criminal in the bulldozed White House currently committing fraud, war crimes, money laundering, espionage, treason, sedition and more, but trash like bathroom rug head Rand Paul want Dr. Anthony Fauci jailed for saving lives. Truly depraved.

ICE has decided it’s now going to attack the global press, including the Associated Press (AP), because they are reporting the truth. This administration will stop at nothing to prevent the press from telling Americans what’s actually happening.

Blanche was confirmed as AG. Just a reminder: The last time a president appointed an attorney he had personal ties to, was when Nixon appointed his law partner and campaign manager John Mitchell. Mitchell ended up disbarred and spent 2 yrs in prison for his role as AG protecting Nixon.

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.
