The Biden Administration just announced historic protections for 13 million acres of Alaska’s Western Arctic from drilling and the safeguarding of the Brooks Range and the Gates of the Arctic.

This is important and consequential action and who fills Cabinet positions really matters. Elections matter.

Zero Republicans in Congress voted for the Inflation Reduction Act.

Despite this, plenty of them take direct credit for IRA-funded clean energy projects.

Why? Because it works. The Inflation Reduction Act is creating jobs and protecting our planet.

This tool tracks the success of the IRA across the country. This kind of thing gets very little to no media attention. We have to tell voters ourselves.

The Oglala Sioux Tribe has issued a ban on Republican Governor Kristi Noem from entering the Pine Ridge Reservation. This decision was made in response to Governor Noem's recent statements regarding the deployment of razor wire and security personnel to the Texas-Mexico border to deter immigration, as well as her claims of cartel infiltration within the state's reservations.

In a statement released on Friday, Tribe President Frank Star Comes Out expressed concerns about the safety of the 1/

Good News!

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin announced Thursday it will resume performing abortions.

Not only will this funding from the Biden administration provide jobs for underserved and Tribal communities, it will also be used to fight the negative impacts climate change by investing in reestablishing the native seed supply chain, and save water by switching to low-water crops.

This is progressive action. Joe Biden does a good deal for jobs and the climate and doesn’t get enough credit.

Biden's Education Department just finalized a rule allowing states to protect student-loan borrowers from 'unfair and deceptive practices,' reversing the Trump administration's efforts.

Trumps' Education Secretary Betsy DeVos wanted to protect student-loan companies from state oversight. Biden's new rule does the opposite.

Trump barely escaped having his assets taken away by the NY A.G. last month. He had to put up $175 million. Now, She wants to make sure the comp. that guarantees the money is legit. She gave them 10 days to prove they could actually pay up if they had to. If they don't, she might make Trump pay the full $464 million bond. Apparently, this comp isn't even registered with the state's financial dept., and they didn't provide any proof that they can handle this kind of money

President Joe Biden raised over 90 million bucks for his re-election campaign and the Democratic Party in March. That's a lot of money!

He's got almost 200 million dollars in the bank now, which is the most any Democratic candidate has ever had at this point in the election cycle.

Most of the money came from small donors, with 96% of donations under $200. In March alone, over 700,000 people made 864,000 contributions to Biden's campaign.

President Biden's got a new plan to help people with student loans. He wants to give some money back to people who are struggling to pay, like those who have been paying for over 20 years or went to schools that didn't really help them get good jobs. He's also going to help people who have a lot of unpaid interest on their loans. About 25 million people could get some of their loans forgiven or at least have to pay less.

So here’s a question to ponder:

If Trump knew ahead of time that the FBI was planning a false flag operation to look like Republicans were trying to stop the counting of electoral votes…then why did he order all of the people at his rally —knowing that most of them were carrying weapons of some sort — to head over to the Capitol, to fulfill the FBI’s scheme?

Biden's Cancer Moonshot initiative is Congress' latest partisan casualty

However, with the ever-present dysfunction of Congress, maybe predictably, the program has been stalled. Some Republicans, refusing to give Biden a “win,” voted against the renewal of funding.

Even though this would be a win for all Americans and humanity it apparently did not outweigh the politics of making a Democrat look good. This is the definition of party over country.

NY AG,, Letitia James, filed a request on Friday seeking the invalidation of Trump's bond in the ongoing civil fraud case against him.
The concern raised by James revolves around the financial capability of the company that issued the bond, Knight Specialty Insurance Company, to fully secure the $175 million bond amount.

Additionally, she emphasized the need for the collateral provided by the former president to be under the complete control of the insurance company.

This is another reason why voting for a party that has your best interest (Democrats) is so important.

Republican’s have spent decades reshaping the courts because they knew the demographics were changing and their unpopular ideology was losing them votes and races.

So ... they devised a plan to be able to supersede laws they don’t agree with appointing judges in favor of their agenda.
