Disaster funding is a hot spot for fraud. When a disaster strikes, criminals buy stolen identities of people in the area and apply for disaster loans in their names. https://cbsn.ws/3RWq8ML

Criminals are using AI deepfakes – often of innocent people– to cover their tracks when applying for government money. https://cbsn.ws/3H2cwgu

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.

A Grim Signal: Atmospheric CO2 Soared in 2024 Scientists are worried because they can’t fully explain the big jump, but they think it might mean that carbon absorption by forests, fields and wetlands is slowing down—a major problem for the world.

From 7% to 38%. 📊⚠️ In just 20 years, autocracy has become the norm for most of the world’s population. Democracy is fading. The warning lights are flashing. ⚖️🌍 (Source: V-Dem) #HumanRights #Democracy

UPDATED TODAY: We've added 11 more names to our DOGE tracker, bringing the total to 77 staffers affiliated with Musk. Plus, you can now filter our database by federal agency. Check it out ⤵️

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

“A threshold was crossed today, when Donald Trump said out loud that he’s more than ready to begin taking American citizens and putting them in a foreign gulag. We have all been warned.” www.americaamerica.news/p/snapshot-h...

This. Write your name in the history books on the right side of the ledger.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Under the Trump administration, America is retreating from hard power, surrendering soft power, and yielding economic power, David A. Graham writes in The Atlantic Daily. Is this what greatness looks like?

Who could be disenfranchised by the SAVE Act? ❌69M women who changed their name after marriage ❌21.3M Americans who don't readily have access to proof of citizenship documents ❌3.8M Americans who don't have proof of citizenship documents at all www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump and Musk are eliminating 90% of Social Security’s regional staff—and, at the same time, will now only post public updates from Social Security on a platform owned by Musk, where more than 90% of seniors won’t see them. Corrupt, cruel, and wrong.

"Our parents are actively fighting for our country for us to be able to have these rights..." www.military.com/daily-news/2...

If I were Judge Xinis, I would order the government to produce, in her courtroom, officials who were in a position to answer her questions and to do so under oath. Letting DOJ continue to prevaricate and deflect responsibility in written submissions seems ... insufficient at this point.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

Decimating DOJ, getting free legal services from private sector. Wow.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

The House is voting tomorrow on the SAVE Act, a bill that would silence millions of voters. We already have strict laws in place to protect the security of our elections. All the SAVE Act does it make it harder for all Americans to vote.

600 cases…

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs. That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result. #econsky
