Congress has the power to stop this economic chaos right now. Here’s the plan to end Trump’s game of red-light, green-light with worldwide tariffs:

Trump is waging war against professionals, intellectuals, scientists, education, writes Franklin Foer. We've seen this movie before - in Mao's China www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

The acting head of the Internal Revenue Service resigned after the Treasury Department and Homeland Security reached an agreement to share tax data from some immigrants living in the country without legal status. (via @wbur.org)

Three House Republicans. Four Senate Republicans. That's it. That's the math.

Do Republicans think their job is to serve Donald Trump—or the American people? They can join us right now to pass the bipartisan resolution to end Trump’s reckless tariffs.

2800 people turned out in Youngstown Ohio last night for a town hall with Democratic Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. Local GOP congressman Michael Rulli won't do events like this with his constituents, so Democrats are doing so in his district: www.youtube.com/watch?v=krWH...

Republicans are turning a blind eye to rampant corruption in the Trump Department of Justice. Yesterday I held a hearing to tell the stories the Trump administration is trying to hide. More to come.

Every day, the goals become clearer: The point of DOGE is not efficiency, but regime change www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

When elected officials see mass protests and then immediately adjust their behavior in response, that is a good thing. That's how this should work! Celebrate Blumenthal for this. And then ask your own Dem senator what they're doing. And what Schumer is doing.

Last week, I wrote about how authoritarianism leads to poverty and corruption. Feels like an appropriate moment to post it again. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

I'm calling for an investigation into Trump's reckless tariff policy. 
It’s incoherent. And it’s driving up costs for working families.

"His office leadership instructed appointees to act as servers for a multicourse meal. They dispatched a US Park Police helicopter for his personal transportation. On at least one occasion, a staffer was told to remake the cookies because the batch was subpar..." www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Republicans in Congress aren't holding Donald Trump accountable. So @raskin.house.gov and I are. Tune in: www.youtube.com/live/ElEVeJA...

This is the first time one man has crashed the economy. As Americans see their savings evaporate, what are Republicans in Congress doing? Nothing. Republicans need to grow a spine and join Democrats right now to stop this man-made disaster.

Massive turnout at today's #HandsOff! rally against Musk and Trump in St. Paul, Minnesota 🔥🔥🔥

Gigantic crowd in NYC for the #HandsOff march against Trump, Musk, and MAGA. So many people that the participants can barely move along. Signs decrying Trump and Co. on many fronts: immigration, science, Social Security, reproductive rights, tariffs, autocracy, kleptocracy & the price of eggs.

Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio #handsoff rally. It was nice to see so many positive people.

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

#HandsOff in New Richmond, WI (pop. 10,700)

There's no such thing as a self-made man or woman. No one succeeds without support. "I did it on my own" is a sign of insecurity and entitlement. Acknowledging help is a mark of confidence and humility. Giving credit to others doesn't undermine you. It elevates them.

Salt Lake City showed up

Hands off Madison, Wisconsin

Sign game is strong here in San Diego on the way to #HandsOff protest. 🪧💪

Spectacular view of 100,000 people attending the #HandsOff march in NYC
