Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Let's say there's "waste" and "fraud" in the government. Well that’s why every department had an inspector general to find and stop it. But guess what? Trump fired most of these independent auditors who should be insulated from politics. None of this is about waste and fraud.

“Delete” the CFPB & IRS. Abolish bank regulators. Gut Social Security and Medicare. The Musk-Trump administration’s plots all boil down to the same thing: swindle working people, funnel money to the ultra-rich.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Russell Vought is on the cusp of confirmation to lead OMB, where he could gut the civil service and social safety net. He's also the mastermind behind Project 2025, which Trump once disavowed but has so far followed to a tee during his second term.

Some federally funded community health centers — which serve rural areas with limited access to medical care — are still unable to access grant funding and are shutting down because of Trump's spending freeze. We are witnessing an attack on America's most vulnerable people.

Just because Trump wants you to believe he has unlimited power doesn’t mean he actually does. Executive orders are limited by Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Constitution. Here’s how executive power is really kept in check.

Every Republican in the Senate just voted to confirm Russell Vought. We’re going to hold them accountable for every piece of the Project 2025 agenda he implements and all the harm it causes to the families they’re supposed to represent.

Don't forget — Republicans are still trying to ram through another round of tax cuts for the rich. They're now reportedly trying to hide its huge cost by using alternative deficit scoring methods. They can't hide from the truth: it's yet another trickle-down scam.

YES. Being in the minority means Dems can’t block Trump’s noms. But they can DELAY & use every extra moment to tell the public why noms like Patel are so dangerous to our democracy.
