SUMMARY
The real cost of socialism to your family
The Democratic Socialists of America’s 2026 Workers Deserve More program includes a range of policy commitments, among them the eight major policies highlighted here. Seven of them would add about $49 trillion to federal deficits over ten years. That is roughly $355,000 for every American household.
The eight DSA policies

Single-payer, first-dollar coverage; no premiums or cost sharing
Wealth tax
Student debt and free college
32-hour workweek
Open borders and amnesty
Green New Deal
Universal rent control
Abolish the police and the prison system
Lawfare is the strategic use of legal proceedings to intimidate, distract, defame, or destroy an opponent. Over the past decade, the Left has built a powerful, well-funded network that is carrying out Lawfare against our advocate class. The Left raised at least $183 million last year.
To examine lawfare, we must consider the current context, which is this: we are at war, a cold civil war, against a domestic regime which wants to overthrow America. It is correct to call it a “war,” and not just an unusually wide divide, because the contest is between two moral orders. From a given moral order there flows a given set of laws, values, customs, and other aspects of culture. Obviously, a society can have only one of each. The moral order of the enemy regime rests on group outcome equality. The moral order of our regime, on the other hand, rests on individual merit. These two moral orders—individual merit versus group quotas—are utterly irreconcilable.
It would be imprudent to reveal our plans to the enemy, but at minimum, the newly minted Project Oversight Law Firm will pursue damages, fees, and other remedies that make the Left’s Lawfare too costly to continue. When necessary, this new firm will bring into question the careers and reputations of those who are committing Lawfare against us. It’s time to turn the tables.
During a bombshell Senate hearing last week, CIA officer, Jim Erdman III testified under oath that the CIA’s scientific analysts determined that the Covid pandemic started from a lab leak, but their scientific conclusions were hidden from Congress and the American public, in what Erdman called “a coverup.”
“Public policy would have been very different had the American public been made aware that a virus from a lab in China was going to serve as the foundation for an Emergency Use Authorization of mRNA products being mandated by the former administration,” Erdman said, questioning the validity of the Covid vaccine approval process.
Erdman also indicted Tony Fauci, the then-director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), for inserting himself into the Intelligence Community’s (IC) assessment of the Covid origins, on two documented occasions. In both instances, Fauci steered IC discussion toward a natural origin and away from declaring that the pandemic started from the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which Fauci had funded via US government grants.
Such explosive charges—a CIA coverup, Fauci’s complicity, and the misguided approval of Covid vaccines—should have ignited a media inferno; instead we got a cold frost. No front-page headline from the New York Times, no angry Washington Post editorial, no story of horror from NPR. And frozen silence from Science Magazine, Nature, Scientific American, and The Atlantic. Not even an icy tweet.

Day 4 : Overcoming the Deep State
9/11 Families United is a coalition of families and survivors of the worst-ever terrorist attacks on American soil. We have come together anew to urge our fellow Americans to demand answers to longstanding, unresolved questions about those terrorist attacks, and to insist that our government release the evidence it is withholding — once and for all.
We believe that more than two decades is too long to wait for full transparency …
… about the murders of our loved ones,
… about the nations, especially Saudi Arabia, that helped the hijackers,
… about the nations that provided financial backing for al Qaeda, and
… about America’s “allies” who continue to send terrorists into the world.
For more than 20 years, the U.S. government has kept thousands of pages of evidence hidden that will help us answer to these questions. Recent disclosures have only increased the urgency of full transparency, but many of these documents are still being kept from us all.
We make this demand on behalf of our community, but also for all Americans who care about accountability and truth. We make this demand with a shared sense of purpose — that we will not rest until our government finally does the right thing.
Without full transparency and candor, we can’t heal — not as family members and survivors, and not as citizens. Today we are left with doubt, distrust, and anger at the politicians and bureaucrats who claim they care about the truth and the pain we have suffered, but then work every day to keep us in the dark. This must stop. We all deserve answers, and we all can learn from an honest, public exposure of the facts.
Only then can Americans have confidence that we are doing everything we can to ensure justice, and to make sure that a day like 9/11 never happens again.
