Listen for yourself. On his infamous Georgia call, Trump didn't care about "voter fraud." He only cared about "finding" the exact number of votes he needed to overturn Georgia's election results.

A new Senate Judiciary Committee report found that Clarence Thomas failed to disclose two luxury vacations bankrolled by billionaire Harlan Crow — even after he amended his past disclosure filings. He's a national disgrace.

This week, Trump approved disaster relief requests for seven red states — after repeatedly delaying and denying aid to blue states. No other president has politicized natural disasters the way that Trump has.

John Roberts and the SCOTUS Republicans have allowed Trump to proceed with his egregious mail-in voting restrictions. 21 years ago, I warned at Roberts' confirmation hearing he would be a dangerously right-wing Chief Justice. I have sadly been proven right, over and over.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

Trump has gutted nearly 20% of FEMA's workforce and dragged his feet in granting natural disaster relief to blue states. With hurricane season on the horizon, it's a perfect storm of sabotage and cruelty.
