“You’re terminated because…?” Fired federal employees are telling their stories—no deep state, just career public servants tossed aside. DOGE’s mass firings aren’t about efficiency—they’re gutting expertise, wrecking lives, and calling it “reform.”

BREAKING: House Republicans just passed their budget resolution 217-215 that would virtually guarantee deep cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, all to fund a major tax break for the ultrawealthy... and still add trillions to the national debt.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota. But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies

If walking costs you $1, we all pay $0.01. If biking costs you $1, we all pay $0.08. If bussing costs you $1, we all pay $1.50. If driving costs you $1, we all pay $9.20. Via @thediscourse study. This isn’t just about choice. It’s about who pays for your choice. #citymakingmath

We are in a dangerous time but here are two important facts: 1. Trump's base of support is a minority. 2. That base is going to shrink as his agenda is enacted. The opposition is the majority. No moping allowed. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/they-are-a...

Because of four decades of bad faith narratives by rich folks who want your taxes to go up and their taxes to go down, most folks don’t know this: career federal workers are heroes who work extremely hard every day and go above and beyond all across America to improve your lives.

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Elon Musk is calling for the CFPB's remaining account balance of $711,586,678 to be returned to the American taxpayers. That you give everyone $2-$3. But returning Elon Musk’s money to taxpayers would give everyone about $1,300 each.

It's amazing to me that as Kanye goes on an antisemitic tear, saying pro Hitler, anti-Jewish stuff, no prominent Democrats are pointing out that he was being praised by the House GOP and hosted by Trump just a couple of years ago. This is how the right gets way with everything.

“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.

Why are no Democrat senators placing a blanket hold on any DOE or EPA nominees until the agencies confirm that payments of contractually obligated grants and loans are resuming under regular process? Why would Democrats let any of these people be confirmed under current circumstances?
