🗽 MAGA is coming for everything. Trump’s megabill will rip health care from millions and bury the country in debt to feed millionaires, while his team plots loyalty purges and fights judges who try to enforce the rules. Trump wants a nation where only the loyal thrive and everyone else pays. Call your representative today … Read more

What Happened Today – July 1

💸 Trump has turned defiance into a luxury many can’t afford. Vote against his agenda and your political career is over, edit an interview in a way he dislikes and face endless lawsuits, defy his immigration crackdown and he’ll threaten to deport you even if you’re the world’s richest man. The calculation is working because … Read more

💥 Trump’s packing his financial agenda into one colossal bill to reshape America while crushing anyone who won’t fall in line. He’s driven two GOP lawmakers to retire rather than back his plan, turning their exits into no votes, and publicly attacked AT&T twice just as they became his business rival. This is presidential power … Read more

⏰ Every relationship is now a hostage situation. Trump governs by deadline and threat. He tells allies they have trade cutoffs, senators to vote his way or else, and gave a university president a day and time to resign. Authoritarians replace law with coercion, negotiation with extortion, and partnership with fear. The worst thing is … Read more

What Happened Today – June 28

An appeals court ruled that DOGE may take over the US Institute of Peace even though it acknowledged they first did so using "brute force."

🚨 The cracks are finally showing. Louisiana hospitals are begging their own Republican leaders to stop the “historic devastation,” while Trump threatens to primary Tillis for protecting North Carolina from Medicaid cuts. When Republicans start getting scared enough to break ranks with their own party, the damage has become too obvious to hide. Call your … Read more

What Happened Today – June 27

Earth's city lights captured by Defense Meteorological Satellite Program, the same military satellites that track hurricanes and rapid storm intensification.

⚡️ Multiple fronts collided today as months of systematic pressure campaigns reached breaking points simultaneously. Trump got judicial wins while prosecutors were purged, university presidents forced out, and trade talks collapsed. These separate battles had been fought for months, even years, and smashed into each other in one day. This is what happens when every … Read more

💣 They’re rewriting reality and weaponizing it against us. Immigrants face phantom charges, universities are threatened into silence, and even your grocery cart and flu shot are being dictated by a regime hell-bent on turning propaganda into policy. Justice Kennedy told a live audience that democracy’s on the edge. Fight back before your life is … Read more

What Happened Today – June 25

Leaders gather for the Global Summit: Health & Prosperity through Immunisation in Brussels on 25 June 2025, a pledging event co-hosted by the EU and the Gates Foundation that secured more than $9 billion for Gavi’s next five-year vaccine drive—only for U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to announce the very next day that Washington will yank its funding.

🤑 Power is cashing in while cracking down. Trump’s family hijacks war buzz for a Tel Aviv tower, rebrands imported phones as American miracles, then his administration punishes unions, journalists, and immigrant families that dare ask why. Stop this profit driven autocracy before it locks us out of our own democracy. Don’t rely on the … Read more

What Happened Today – June 24

Trump tells reporters Israel and Iran "don't know what the fuck they're doing" before departing from the White House for NATO summit in The Hague, Tuesday, June 24, 2025.

🏴‍☠️ Deportation architect Stephen Miller owns stock in the data company tracking immigrants. Trump’s former lawyer, now up for a lifetime federal judgeship, allegedly told government attorneys to ignore court orders. Trump himself owes $83.3 million but suddenly claims immunity he previously waived. Grift has always been Trump’s brand, but now his aides and enablers … Read more

What Happened Today – June 23

A U.S. Postal Service electric delivery vehicle. The Senate parliamentarian blocked a GOP provision that would have forced the Postal Service to sell all its electric vehicles, ruling the measure violated Senate rules.

🔥 Cruelty and lies have become the new infrastructure of government. Today saw the systematic demolition of accountability paired with the institutionalization of brutality with an Iranian retaliatory attack on one of our air bases. The Supreme Court didn’t accidentally bless overseas torture camps. Republicans didn’t randomly gut the GAO. These are deliberate choices to … Read more
