Democratic candidates have some new ammunition in their fight to retake control of Congress during this year’s midterm elections.
A new government report shows dollar-for-dollar cuts to the nation’s social safety net programs for every dollar of tax cuts going to rich people.
Trump is demanding a 5% budget cut from all of his cabinet secretaries, and claiming that Democrats are wasting money after his tax cuts for the rich massively backfire.
Donald Trump was so anxious to brag about “his” latest job growth and unemployment numbers that he broke the law by tweeting about them before they were announced officially by the U.S. government.
It’s time for some historical perspective so we can really understand what is going on with this year’s teachers strikes. A common thread in almost every state under Republican rule is that funding has been taken away from public schools, systematically and over a long period of time.

The report was released on Monday and it should come as no surprise that the Joint Committee found that most of the law’s tax breaks go to the super-rich.
Polling shows that Trump's tax cuts for the wealthy are being soundly rejected who see through the plan as nothing more than a scam to give rich people more money.
It is patently evident now that when it comes to giving tax breaks to the wealthy Republicans in Congress have abandoned all moral guides to pursue their heartless agenda of appeasing their benefactors at the expense of vulnerable people across the country.
Republicans in Congress – emboldened by the bully in the White House – are no longer trying to disguise how they feel toward lower and middle-income Americans.
GOP candidates want to reverse Obama’s gains with huge tax cuts for the rich that helped create the Bush deficit the President has erased
