His current term will end at the end of the year, and he’ll have to start campaigning almost immediately for the 2026 midterms. But this time, it will be for a new district, after the GOP-controlled legislature successfully gerrymandered the state’s congressional map. Continue reading… More

      It’s time to defund the oligarchy and invest in the American people | Joseph Geevarghese and Rashida Tlaib

      by

      Trump’s presidency has brought a windfall to billionaires while hurting the poor. In these conditions, democracy cannot surviveTrump ran on a promise to lower costs on day one, but a year into his presidency, the real beneficiaries are his billionaire donors. Instead of making life more affordable for everyday Americans, Trump has used the presidency to enrich himself and his billionaire allies, while making the largest cuts to Medicaid and food assistance in history and leaving working families behind.As families struggle with rising costs, Trump has effectively turned the White House into a slush fund, running the federal government like a personal ATM.

Rashida Tlaib is a US representative for Michigan Continue reading… More
