This flew under the radar, but Trump says his administration won't enforce an anti-money laundering law that requires corporations to disclose information on who really owns shell companies to the Treasury. "Drain the swamp."

I tweeted about this guy last night and got all these replies from random people who said he'd saved their baby's life. Fuck being rich I would love to have been this guy, imagine how cool it would be to know you'd helped so many people. We need to name an airport after him or something

I love this line of attack because there's nothing that pisses off constituents more than telling them they are fake and their concerns are bullshit. Thank you for recruiting for the next round of protests of your fellow Republicans, Mike.

The Trump/Musk era is defined by blatant conflicts of interest at the federal level. Now, with Musk spending millions to back Brad Schimel while Tesla fights a Wisconsin lawsuit, that corruption could seep into our state courts. bit.ly/3EZueAk

A pathetic and humiliating walkback from the would-be destroyers of CFPB, who know they've lost in court and can't kill the agency. This email from Mark Paoletta went to employees today. It neglects Vought's Feb 10 "stop-work" email that superseded it, ending all activity with no exceptions.

Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.” Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.

It is a gimmick of course, but I think Democrats are on stronger ground talking about the distributional impact, who will benefit and who will suffer, rather than whether such-and-such hits a budget number in 2034.

Conservatives have been trying to diminish Social Security for my entire life. More than 20 years ago, I went to a Cato Institute presentation to see their case on privatizing it (pure dog shit, btw). Musk has abandoned that in favor of purely minimizing it, but it's the same goal from the same side

Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE. The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US. A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Again, this isn't about efficiency.

Republicans have been out to gut Social Security for years because it’s one of the most popular and successful programs ever created. Those who claim to care about the debt while pushing for trillions in tax cuts for the rich and corporations don't really care about the debt. Hello?

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.” It’s who our government is for. Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?
