When people fight against a living wage, they’re really defending a system that lets big corporations off the hook. Take Walmart, one of the most profitable companies out there. They make billions every year, yet tons of their employees rely on government assistance like SNAP just to get by.
That’s not an accident – it’s a business model. By paying low wages, Walmart shifts the burden onto taxpayers. We’re basically subsidizing their payroll with our tax dollars.

Right now, Jeffries stands at a crossroads that is familiar to many of my clients. In his role leading House Democrats, he faces criticism for what some describe as a measured, understated approach to challenging Donald Trump’s second-term agenda and the Republican control of both the House and Senate. Recent reports and posts on X highlight a growing frustration among Democrats and activists who feel he’s not bold or vocal enough, accusing him of being “weak on the mic” or “hedging” on key issues. Like my musician clients who fear losing fans by taking sides, Jeffries appears to worry about alienating moderates or risking political capital in a highly polarized environment.

In U.S. presidential history, landslide victories are rare but unforgettable. Richard Nixon in 1972 and Ronald Reagan in 1984 didn’t just win – they dominated, and these Republicans flipped A LOT of counties to their respective party – but their opponents still were able to flip some to theirs. Fast forward to 2024, and this election has an anomaly that sticks out like a sore thumb: Trump flipped 88 counties from blue to red, while Kamala Harris flipped zero from red to blue. What are the odds?

In the 2024 presidential election, Donald Trump flipped 88 counties from blue to red, and Kamala Harris didn’t flip a single one back. Not one. Zero. Nada. This isn’t just unusual – it’s so wild that it’s hard to believe it could happen naturally. With all the weird stuff people noticed in the election, like missing votes and turnout that doesn’t add up, we’ve got to ask: how likely is this really? Spoiler alert: it’s almost impossible without something weird going on. We need to demand an audit to figure out what’s up.

The mere exposure effect – where we develop preferences for things we’ve seen repeatedly – could be harnessed for accuracy. Research shows that even initial skepticism can be overcome through strategic repetition. The key isn’t convincing someone to trust MSNBC over Fox – it’s making sure accurate information reaches them repeatedly from multiple directions.

Back in January, Trump Media launched Truth.Fi – a financial services arm designed to build investment vehicles with Charles Schwab and Yorkville Advisors, a registered investment adviser. Their stated goal? Strengthening the so-called “Patriot Economy” by funneling money into American businesses that align with their ideological and political vision. Now, could this be tied to the tariffs? Absolutely. Truth.Fi’s entire pitch is wrapped up in an “America First” investment strategy, and the timing here is just a little too perfect. This isn’t just another investment platform – it’s a financial… Read More
The Trump administration decided that trans people must list their birth gender on passports and other official documents. At first glance, it might seem like just another bureaucratic rule – annoying but not catastrophic. But in reality, it’s absurd, impractical, and dangerous. This policy serves no legitimate purpose other than to make life harder for trans people.

Let’s talk about drop-off voting – a pattern that broke all the rules in 2024. Sometimes, the way ballots are cast and counted reveals patterns that don’t add up. One of those patterns is drop-off voting. The term isn’t official election jargon, but it describes something very real – the difference between the number of votes cast for president versus those cast for down-ballot races like Senate or House. In other words, it is a measure of how many voters bother to fill out the entire ballot versus stopping at… Read More
Before I even start to talk about the 2024 election, I think it’s important to talk about the 2020 election – after all, election fraud was MAGA’s calling card – so why is this different? Well, let’s look at the claims made after the 2020 Election. With 158.4 million ballots cast in 2020 – marking the highest voter turnout in U.S. history – exhaustive investigations found virtually no evidence of widespread fraud. The Heritage Foundation’s database – after years of research – documented only 1,365 proven instances of voter fraud… Read More
Elections are the bedrock of democracy, and when anomalies are found, their integrity is questioned, and voter confidence plummets. The 2024 election was marred by documented security breaches involving voting software from companies like ES&S and Dominion. Even if these breaches didn’t directly alter outcomes, they demand rigorous risk-limiting audits (RLAs) and hand recounts – not just to verify the vote count but to establish security protocols for future elections. Numbers don’t lie. Analysis of 2024 voting data has revealed eyebrow-raising trends. For instance, Kamala Harris saw an unusual negative… Read More
