Trump is handing out pardons like party favors—to his billionaire crypto donors. It’s clear: he’s not working for the people. He’s working for the people who bankroll him. Corruption isn’t just bad policy—it’s a threat to democracy.

Exporting criminals, if given due process, I get. Not giving undocumented immigrants a path forward, with 10,000 Americans turning 65 every day and 4.1M retiring each yr, is just shortsighted. But reversing a program for refugees and asylum seekers is purely evil. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/u...

No kings, masters, overlords or any of that bullshit. Time to take the country back.

Hidden in the Republican budget bill: a provision to do away with all oversight on AI systems with rent fixing algorithms. If your rent starts to go up, Republicans are to blame.

And we will be able to innovate and create more with less. It's an entrepreneurs dream come true. What took paying a lot of people to do , someone can do them self. And the tech is so advanced there will be applications and businesses we never imagined

The issues Americans are most likely to say the Democratic Party does a better job handling include: LGBTQ issues 49% The environment 44% And the issues Americans are more likely to say the Republican Party handles better include: Immigration 41% Crime 39% today.yougov.com/politics/art...

Republicans’ budget bill earmarks a staggering $45 billion for immigrant detention centers. The biggest beneficiaries? Private prison companies like CoreCivic and GEO Group – who both donated hefty sums to Trump’s inauguration. Always follow the money.

The Emoluments Clauses are some of our nation's oldest anticorruption safeguards. In our latest, @danw329.bsky.social and I explain what emoluments are, why they've been in the news lately, and what Congress can do to improve enforcement. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...

The Supreme got many things wrong in Citizens United. One was the assurance that all of the new campaign spending it had just unleashed would be transparent.

Biden's CFPB finalized a rule banning medical debt from credit reports, which would help 15 million people. Trump's CFPB not only wants to scrap it, but has even joined forces with corporate groups suing to block it. Government for the people vs government for the powerful.

George Floyd was murdered on this day five years ago. Despite massive protests over racial injustice, police killings are sadly on the rise. Instead of pouring more funds into our brutal system of policing, let's invest in communities. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/24/u...

Why did six House Republicans who promised to oppose Medicaid cuts vote for the "big beautiful bill"? It could be because the bill now contains an expanded "pass-through" tax deduction that would personally benefit them. Follow the money.
