Right-wing billionaires are destroying America's newsrooms
Courier Newsroom: With our small-town newsrooms being turned into Trump's propaganda outlets by Sinclair Broadcasting, it's harder than ever to find factual, value-based news coverage at the local level.

Putting "profits over people," Senate rejects paid sick leave for rail workers
It was clear from the beginning of the negotiations that the railway companies were counting on Congress to bail them out of having to give sick leave to their workers, and legislators in DC dutifully obliged by separating sick leave from the bill enforcing a contract on the railway unions into a standalone bill. Worse, it gave certain Republicans a chance to pretend to care about workers by voting for legislation they knew would never get the 60 votes to pass. A disgraceful day for our government, which is utterly unwilling to do anything that might threaten the bottom lines of corporate America.

"I like Hitler": Kanye West praises Nazi during shocking Alex Jones interview
An obviously very mentally ill Ye (formerly Kanye West), encased in a gimp mask and what appeared to be no less than fifteen coats, stunned the likes of Alex Jones and the rapper's new sidekick, white supremacist Nick Fuentes, with a full-throated endorsement of Adolf Hitler and Nazis in general. While his vitriolic antisemitism is truly abhorrent to witness, it is painfully clear this man is in the throes of some kind of psychotic breakdown and should be getting treatment, not paraded around on conspiracy webshows by hatemongering opportunists.

Men who used robocalls to suppress Black votes ordered by judge to register new voters
Perennially unsuccessful right-wing con artist Jacob Wohl, whose harebrained exploits include accusing Sen.

Hospice care quickly becoming a for-profit hustle
In a truly horrifying glimpse of the degeneracy of American capitalism, selling hospice care to elderly people who are not dying is becoming a growing, widly profitable business. For-profit companies are actually sending out sharks to target lonely, ill, uneducated, or just out-of-it seniors and persuading them to forgo curative care and move into hospice centers where hospice companies can leech off the fetid teat of for-profit insurance. It is a ghoulish, apparently legal business practice that truly makes you wonder how these miserable scumbags sleep at night.

Today’s Action: Phone bank for Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock!
In just four days, incumbent Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and the observably awful, scandal-plagued GOP nominee, Herschel Walker, will face off once again in Georgia’s runoff election. Even though Democrats have already secured control of the Senate, one more seat in the upper chamber could mean the difference between advancing and safeguarding our progressive agenda or watching Republicans — set to take control of the House in a few weeks — roll back our hard-fought wins over the next two years.
It’s absolutely critical to stay engaged and involved and keep Georgia blue on December 6th. We need as many progressives in office as possible to preserve the rights we’ve been fighting so hard for — reproductive rights, LGBTQ+ rights, gun-safety initiatives, justice reform, etc. There are several more phone-banking opportunities until the fast-approaching runoff next Tuesday, where you can help identify supporters of Sen. Warnock and talk to on-the-fence voters. People all across the country are able to join in from the comfort of their own homes, and there’s still more than enough work to go around.
Georgia Votes is STILL hosting ongoing phone-banking parties for Raphael Warnock every day until Election Day next Tuesday! You don’t have to be a seasoned professional or a registered voter in Georgia to join this fight, so commit to a shift today!
PS — Please don't forget to sign the petition telling Democrats to get to the bottom of Trump’s taxes before we lose the House, and be sure to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.
