Yet another great move by Trump where no doubt unanticipated consequences crush "his beloved" American farmers. Do I smell more bailouts coming???

PSA for Tennessee media: you are either calling out Rep Ogles’ racism for what it is, or you are normalizing it. There is no third option.

Billionaires Are Swaying Elections in All Corners of America

Astonishing stat from the NYT: Billionaires were responsible for 19 percent of all money contributed in the 2024 election, a legacy of the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/u...

A classic black-and-white formal portrait photograph of Carrie Chapman Catt (1859–1947), the prominent American women's suffrage leader and strategist, taken around 1909 when she was approximately 50 years old. She is shown in a half-length or three-quarter view, facing directly toward the camera with a calm, resolute, and dignified expressionβ€”eyes steady and mouth set in a composed line. Her hair is styled in voluminous, softly curled waves parted in the center, framing her face with a mature elegance typical of the Edwardian era. She wears a high-necked white blouse or chemisette with delicate ruffled detailing at the collar, layered beneath an ornate dark satin or velvet jacket adorned with intricate embroidered floral and scroll patterns in lighter tones along the wide lapels and sleeves. The background is a neutral studio gradient with soft shadowing, emphasizing her poised and authoritative presence as a key figure in the fight for the 19th Amendment, which granted U.S. women the right to vote in 1920. The image conveys strength, intelligence, and determination in the women's rights movement.

NBC’s Richard Engel: β€œThe White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

A graphic on deep purple that says the Save of America Act creates more read tape when voting is already safe. It says, "Say 'No' to Red Tape." Call your U.S. Senators and tell them to Vote "No" and adds the phone number for the U.S. Senate switchboard (202) 224-3121.

Take action by letting your U.S. Senators know we don't want to make voting harder for women, who are already facing increased burdens of managing life with rising costs, increasing employment uncertainty, and pressures of health care and child care.

61 years ago today, hundreds of brave Americans crossed the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, and were met with violence for simply demanding the right to vote. Their courage changed history. Today, we honor them and recommit to our mission: Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy.

Yes-there are gaps in the story of Trump’s accuser. It was awhile ago and sexual trauma greatly affects victims. But salient details-and Trump’s history of abusing women-support the claim

And it also raises suspicion about Epstein’s death-especially in light of recent stories alleging a cover up
