For President Trump: it’s no billionaire left behind—and good luck to everyone else. Trump’s budget proposal would hurt working people and our economy—and it’s dead on arrival in Congress as long as I have anything to say about it. My full statement ⬇️

There are 7,591 words in the U.S. Constitution. Not one is "bible", "Jesus", "Judeo", "Christian" or "God". Separation of church and state guarantees ALL Americans the right to practice ANY religion. Or none. Which part of "religious freedom" is not as clear as a church bell?

🚨Trump is massively expanding Palantir’s role across federal agencies—pooling sensitive data from DHS, HHS, and the IRS into one centralized system. Here’s why that matters. 🧵 www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/t...

So it turns out that Elon Musk is 5X the sex-crazed, drug-addled freak that Republicans claimed Hunter Biden was...and whereas Hunter played no role in his dad's administration, Musk was basically running much of the country for the past 4 months. Lovely.

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

Elon's legacy ranges from gutting cancer research to setting in motion millions of deaths from starvation or disease. I'll be pushing for Congress to hold Elon & DOGE accountable—for every act of corruption, every disastrous consequence, and every law they have broken.

When Trump tried to stay in power after losing in 2020, the military stayed out of the fight. He won’t make that mistake again. He’s purging generals, installing loyalists, and “encouraging rank-and-file service members to side with him against anyone who stands in his way, including the courts.”

President Trump’s nomination of Emil Bove — his former personal attorney — to the Third Circuit is deeply troubling. His conduct in the dismissal of federal charges against Mayor Adams raises urgent questions about his fitness to serve in any public capacity. americanoversight.org/statement-am...

I am shocked, shocked to tell you that the campus free speech law Texas passed in 2019 was only to protect MAGA and other bigots. When pro-Palestinian protests happened last year, the Texas Legislature responded by changing their own law to censor and punish them.

Republicans keep backing this madness. Trump announces ruinous economic policy, then chumps out, and round and round we go as we circle the drain. Let’s hope the GOP doesn’t codify Trump’s Big Bonanza for Billionaires and do irreparable harm to the economy.

Donald Trump has long-espoused eugenicist and ableist beliefs. For @motherjones.com, I put together a timeline of some of these greatest (or worst) hits, which shows a pattern, starting back in the 1980s. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
