Padilla: “We will hold this administration accountable”

Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in California is not about the protests. It is about expanding his never-ending grasp for more power. It is about moving this country toward authoritarianism. All Americans must stand together against this gross abuse of power.

i stand firmly and solidly with the protestors in California and around the country united against the authoritarianism of this President and White House. One of the gravest dangers to our country today is Trump and his cabal.

Trump supporters attacked the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and Trump didn't call in the National Guard.

Former President Biden blasted Donald Trump over his confrontational meeting with President Zelensky in the Oval Office: “I found it sort of beneath America in the way that took place.”

There it is.

Who among us doesn’t dream of working in a factory until you die without health insurance or Social Security? But not just you, your kids too! This is truly the American dream*. *According to Republicans

Elon claimed he’d save the government $1 TRILLION by Sept. 30. Now he’s admitting his “efficiency” team is falling short — 85% short. Sure doesn’t sound like efficiency to me.

Republicans pulled their budget vote—surprise! They’re too busy fighting each other to govern. They might be split on the math, but they agree on this: cutting services for working families & rewarding billionaires. This ain’t a budget—it’s a blueprint to rob the people.

Trump’s changes to Social Security will slash 7,000 jobs, shut down offices, and make folks jump through hoops to get what they’ve already earned. Seniors, disabled people, and rural communities—y’all are the target. This is not efficiency, it’s straight-up cruelty.

Duckworth goes on Fox and Baier reads her statement calling Hegseth a “f**king liar”

DOGE’s firing of thousands of Social Security workers means longer waits and poorer service for hardworking Americans who paid into these benefits. Meanwhile, House GOP threatens long-term stability of Social Security by adding $4.5T to our national debt so corporate donors get more tax breaks. 1/2

holy shit this question at the Rep. Chuck Edwards town hall 🔥🔥🔥

Americans: We’d like to afford basic necessities, keep vital programs, and not lose our retirement savings. Trump: Best I can do is a car commercial for the richest man on Earth.

😂😅

Goldman on Musk: "Notable, somehow none of his $13 billion of government contracts he has determined to be waste, fraud, and abuse."

Someone needs to explain to our Sec of Commerce how capitalism works. America has a GLOBAL TRADE SURPLUS on services. Services have the highest margins and profits of our exports. That is where capital and expertise focused. It is why we dominate in tech globally.

Absolutely stunning. Trump to Chief Justice Roberts: "Thank you again. Thank you again. I won't forget."

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Worth a listen to what Al Green says after he was removed from the chamber.

With Trump’s new tariff/taxes, the average American family will be about $2,000 poorer. Instead of lowering prices as he repeatedly promised, Trump is jacking up prices to foot part of the bill for yet another round of wasteful tax breaks for his billionaire buddies.
