A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

I used to think anything is possible in the most positive, hopeful way. I now think anything is possible in the worst way.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

Civil Servants are the best of what a democracy can be. It's been 40 years of unending right wing attacks on career civil servants, who work diligently to keep the country running regardless of the politics of the administration.

Today I’d like to honor unsung heroes whose courage in the face of the Trump takeover of America deserves our profound thanks. They are public servants who have chosen to fight rather than submit to Trump’s treachery. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/profiles-in-courage

There is literally HIV being transmitted from mom to baby because of the illegal shutdown of US AID and now Trump’s State Department wants to spend 400 million dollars on Tesla cyber trucks. This is not about efficiency. It’s a smash and grab.

Harsh! Imagine working in the federal government under Musk—where loyalty is tested, cruelty is rewarded, and nobody is safe. A former Twitter exec, @ruchowdh.bsky.social , who lived through it speaks out.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

Pam Bondi is disbanding the Foreign Influence Task Force - the FBI team that is charged with combatting foreign meddling in US elections. Worth asking how this makes us more safe in any way, shape, or form.

Donald Trump announces completely unapologetically that he’s going to displace all the Palestinians, bulldoze Gaza, occupy it and turn it into Fucking Mar-a-Lago and my feed is full of my fellow Arab of Americans blaming it on…. Biden and Harris. I can’t. I just fucking can’t.

The richest man in the world is sitting at the Resolute desk, about to defund your public school. Trump should stop him.

Exciting news! We’re thrilled to announce that tapir Yuna gave birth to a rare and endangered Malayan tapir calf Sunday night. The newborn, covered in distinctive white spots and stripes resembling a fuzzy walking watermelon, is only the second tapir born in our 120-year history.

This might end up being Trump’s most historic mistake: Foreign aid is not just charity—it’s an investment in stability, diplomacy, and American interests and it saves American lives too.

There are a LOT of things about this Administration's actions to be astounded and outraged about, but this isn't one. Your work email account belongs to your employer, not to you. It is entirely within your employer's purview to mandate the structure and content of your email signature.

Donold is blaming a plane crash that killed 67 people on “DEI” with zero evidence. He is attempting to use racism to deflect from the fact it is HIS fault. He had just removed 100 FAA senior officials. It’s been 11 days and there are 67 bodies in the Potomac in Washington DC because of him.
