When Donald Trump selected Mike Waltz to serve as national security adviser, the choice was widely seen as win-win: A combat veteran with four Bronze Stars would bring his judgment to the White House and his deep-red Florida House district was safe in Republican hands.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

Trump is trying to strip the bargaining rights of roughly 1 million unionized federal workers. He claims it's a matter of "national security." Rubbish. Organized labor is standing up to Trump's authoritarian power grab. Tyrants will do anything to crush dissent.

Trump's union-busting executive order targeting Federal workers' collective bargaining rights is more than an attack on them -- it's an attack on us all and the government services that millions of Americans rely on. Together with @aflcio.org and all government workers, we will beat this.

The Trump regime and DOGE are rolling out this playbook to attack Social Security — one of the most popular and effective government programs. They're deliberately sabotaging it by firing SSA workers and cutting services. Why? Because they don't want it to work.

The stock prices of America's largest private prison and detention center operators have skyrocketed since Trump's victory. Why? Because the border-industrial complex stands to profit handsomely from Trump's anti-immigrant agenda.
