I was an Obama appointee to the Holocaust Museum board and served during the first Trump term. The primary mission of the museum is to advance knowledge of the Holocaust and preserve the memory of its victims. Removing Biden appointees is petty and vindictive and distracts from this important work.

A MORAL CRISIS “The rule of law is being trampled. Innocent people are being disappeared. Court orders are being ignored. If you claim to love this country—if you believe in the Constitution, due process, order, and justice—this must be your line in the sand.” Take 3 minutes. This is important.

Today, the House passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a measure that could unfairly prevent millions of eligible voters from casting ballots.

SAVE Act just passed House. It is modern-day poll tax that would disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans, end online, mail + voter registration drives & require voters to register in person at election offices, forcing some rural voters to drive 8 hours to register. Total disaster in every way

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year. This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year. See what DOGE is really about?

Trump says his tariffs will raise $6 trillion. Assuming that's over 10 years, that's $600 billion per year. There are 134 million households, so this is nearly $5,000 per household per year. And it's like a sales tax, so it's a flat tax. A huge hit to the budgets of working folks.

Bank overdraft fees were capped at $5 the last few years -- saving American families over $6 BILLION. Until now. Because Republicans are lifting the Biden-era cap, letting banks charge whatever they want again. Taking $6 BILLION of your money and giving it to the big banks.

It doesn’t matter if you’re Republican, Democrat or Independent. It doesn’t matter if you think the signal chat room debacle is a big deal or not. This is about whether you’re ok with them blatantly lying to you, lying under oath to Congress, and vilifying anyone who sets the record straight.
