They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history! Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

As a taxpayer, I do not expect to be "reimbursed" when our country helps another defend itself from foreign invasion where their liberties, freedoms and lives will be taken from them. When exporting freedom there's no bigger ROI than to hear freedom ring! Fuck Trump. Fuck Elon. And Fuck Putin! 🇺🇦

Amy Gleason is the acting administrator of the DOGE. Please don’t be distracted by this—it was only done because federal judges were questioning who was actually running the operation. Gleason is completely controlled by Musk, and he is doing this to avoid testifying.

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

Donald Trump and House Republicans plan to give their billionaire donors a $4 TRILLION tax cut. To pay for it, they will cut Medicaid coverage for millions of Americans – working families, children with disabilities, and seniors in need of long-term care. That's a betrayal.

We are in the days of shock & awful, where Trump tries to make people feel so overwhelmed by all the rapid changes & actions that they quit trying to keep up. Don't give into that. Learn about what you have the bandwidth for. Understand that these are steps being taken to break down democracy.
