If I were a Democrat, and I saw Trump do a purge of high-level generals who were women and people of color and wouldn't be "yes men," I wouldn't vote to advance JD Vance's college friend for Secretary of the Army. And yet....16 Democrats just did so

Trump and Musk are literally looking to ram through a budget that would give billionaires like them a MASSIVE tax cut -- while eliminating healthcare for the poorest Americans, and jacking up YOUR taxes They're going to take a TRILLION of your dollars and give it to themselves

We actually leave trillions of dollars on the table every year in unpaid taxes. Not extra taxes, taxes that are not paid by the super rich who owe them because the IRS doesn’t have enough money and resources to go after them.

Firing thousands of hardworking civil servants at the IRS won't save us money. It'll add billions to the deficit by making it easier for the ultra-rich to cheat on their taxes. While billionaires line their pockets, families will struggle to get the help they need from the IRS.

This is insane. If you wonder why some of us think the rule of law is about to fall, it's this. The U.S. Attorney for DC is not "President Trump's lawyer" and its job is not to "protect his leadership" nor prosecute people who "refuse to put America first".

Today marks three years since Russia began its illegal, unprovoked, full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The human costs of Putin’s war are staggering. The world must continue to stand with Ukraine and ensure that Russia is held accountable for its atrocities. #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦

Donald Trump is not king. President Zelensky is not a dictator. We need leaders who will stand for freedom and stand against authoritarianism.

Lesson many private sector businesses still don’t get: Firing a bunch of people in an economic downturn, then having to find, hire, and train replacements when the economy picks back up, loses money rather than saves. Then again, DOGE’s goal is break things for a loss, not actually generate savings.

Van Hollen: "European allies & others around the world who believe in freedom & democracy are wondering if this is just rhetoric or a real shift. My warning to them is I think this is reality. I think Trump is much closer ideologically to Putin & other autocrats than he is to democratic countries."

“Ultimately, we want lawyers who give sound constitutional advice and don’t exist to attempt to be roadblocks to anything that happens in their spots.” TRANSLATION: Trump and I want lawyers who won’t warn or try to stop us when we order the US military to do anything illegal. It’s coming. Soon.

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

Of course he shouldn’t do it. But man, is this guy the real deal, or what? A true leader. Someone who puts country over self. The very definition of patriot. He embodies everything our current leadership is not and couldn’t be.

If your goal was to actually reduce the deficit you would want to collect more taxes that are legally owed to our government - based on current laws. But it's literally ALL about protecting the billionaire's interests. One more example of living in an oligarchy. ground.news/article/irs-...

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.
