MotherJones knew in January of 2024 exactly what was coming!

Secretary Turner wants to cancel HUD programs that serve seniors and people with disabilities. Harming seniors and vulnerable Americans does not make our government more efficient. Senator Warren, Senator Smith, and I are holding this Administration accountable.

Rep Raskin has been great. Rep Ocasio-Cortez has been great. And Rep Frost and Rep Crockett. Senator Murphy. Maybe no one knew exactly what to do. But such people laid down a clear marker. Let’s respect these and other elected federal representatives who stood out these first few weeks.

I’ll never forget courageous students at Virginia Commonwealth University walking out of their own commencement ceremony last year to protest against KKK GOPer Glenn Youngkin as he was speaking. This is how all GOP fascists should be treated.

— Accidentally fired workers trying to contain bird flu — Accidentally fired workers overseeing our nuclear stockpile — Accidentally fired workers providing health care to Native Americans “Accidentally.” More like gross incompetence and mismanagement. Opposite of efficient.

Let me explain exactly what Senate Republicans are doing tonight — and why it's just the latest chapter in Trump's great betrayal of the American people:

This is how Mitch McConnell should be remembered: Without him, there’s no President Trump right now—he had the chance to convict during impeachment and end it, but he didn’t. Without him, there’s no stacked conservative Supreme Court—you’d have more rights today.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance. Democracy requires your courage.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame. The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight. It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

A story in two parts! Trump denouncing Ukraine & Zelensky, now. Here's the transcript of Trump congratulating President Zelensky on his election victories... and then attempting to extort him. If you want to understand the rationale behind the hate of Ukraine, its because Trump was caught criming.

"There has been a golf trip each of the four weekends since Trump came back to the presidency on Jan. 20, and he has now played golf at his own properties on nine of his first 30 days in office." Musk is running the government. Trump is a figurehead. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

This is a concentration camp. They are describing a concentration camp.
