For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

The Trump administration is quietly expanding its work with Palantir to consolidate data from across the government and create detailed files on everyone in the U.S. This is incredibly dangerous for all of us, but especially for vulnerable communities already in the government's crosshairs.

Republicans are lying about Medicaid work requirements. The truth is that a vast majority of recipients who can work are already working. Work requirements are just a shady way to fund tax cuts for the wealthy.

Reminder that Trump was ordered by the Supreme Court to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States. That was nearly two months ago. If Trump can violate due process and openly defy a SCOTUS order, what’s to stop him from doing the same to anyone else?

The Trump administration is working with private companies like Palantir to create detailed reports on every American, which could help them weaponize our personal information in their quest to deport immigrants and punish critics. This is a huge threat to our constitutional rights.

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much? They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs. Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher. Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.” It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

GOP legislatures in Alaska, Nebraska, and Missouri are trying overturn voter-approved referenda requiring paid sick leave. And in 9 other red states, Republican lawmakers are trying to restrict citizen-led ballot measures altogether. The GOP can't stand the will of the people.
