As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.

A Republican congressman just introduced a bill to abolish OSHA and get rid of federal safety protections for workers. Remind me— wasn’t it Republicans who claimed that they were the party of the working class?

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

"Donald Trump's administration is lying to you." Gov. J.B. Pritzker slammed the White House for saying the freeze wouldn’t affect Head Start and Medicaid. This is how we do it. Call out Trump’s lies to the camera, bold, strong action. Hold him accountable, every single time.

If you wanted to know how an autocracy would start in America, it begins by releasing violent thugs from prison who beat up police defending Congress, illegally firing every Inspector General, and seizing billions appropriated by Congress for people with no authority to do so.

And despite the Dems saving pensions and retirement benefits for 2 million Americans, the Teamsters didn't endorse a candidate this cycle. Now, within a week of taking office, Trump gutted the NLRB. Is this what Sean O'Brien had in mind?

I can’t quite gather the thoughts, the dread, the fury, of thinking of Pete Hegseth as SecDef. God help us all. We are a global laughingstock and dangerous to our allies. Hegseth’s inexperience and low morality will cost us dearly. My words are incapable of expressing my disgust.
