Pete Hegseth’s pastor doesn’t believe women should have the right to vote. Seriously. That’s how extreme this administration really is. Your voice and your vote matter. Use it to help build a better future for our kids, families, and communities.

Apple: ~$2.2 billion Nike: $986 million FedEx: ~$800 million Amazon: $640 million General Motors: $500 million Giant corporations are raking in millions in tariff refunds and getting even richer. But remember: corporations passed tariff costs on to you. Where's YOUR refund?

All of the speculation and hype around A.I. is hiding the fact that the technology isn’t just large language models or agents or data centers. It is the backbone of a superstructure that merges regressive politics with unchecked economic power in the guise of technological innovation. /1
