Mass shootings in the US: 2014: 273 2015: 336 2016: 383 2017: 348 2018: 336 2019: 417 2020: 610 2021: 690 2022: 647 2023: 656 So far in 2024: 385 We do not have to live like this. No other country on the planet does.

All nine Republican senators running for reelection just voted against the Right to IVF Act: John Barrasso Marsha Blackburn Kevin Cramer Ted Cruz Deb Fischer Josh Hawley Pete Ricketts Rick Scott Roger Wicker (JD Vance missed today's vote) So much for the party of "freedom."

Forced birth in a country with: —No universal healthcare —No universal childcare —No paid family & medical leave —One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations Again, the right's agenda isn't about "life." It's about control.

As long as Boeing is in the news, let me remind you... Boeing's outgoing CEO will get a "golden parachute" worth as much as $45 million. The CEO before him got $62 million on his way out the door. America has socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

5.

No matter what Trump says during tonight's debate, tariffs aren't paid by the other country. They're paid by you. His tariff plan would be a regressive tax — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people, costing a typical family an extra $3,900 per year.

Just four companies in the U.S. control: 85% of beef processing 80% of corn seed distribution 77% of fertilizer production 69% of grocery sales Wondering why food prices are so high? Minimal competition means maximized price-gouging.
