@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: “Pushback is kinda coming from everywhere right now... It’s coming from people within the administration... among the most loyal of all the loyalists… town halls in some of the reddest pockets of our country… And even from world leaders.”

@gene4va.bsky.social: “[Hegseth] fired the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs because he is a Black man. He fired the director of naval operations because she was a woman. They're trying to purge folks… that have achieved positions through decades of hard work… and they're replacing them with yes men.”

Why do Trump and his billionaire bankrollers want to “delete” the CFPB? Fewer watchdogs means more opportunities for you to get scammed — leading to more money for them.

submitted 17 days ago • 40 comments

Since 2011, the CFPB has returned over $20 billion to victims of financial fraud. For every $1 in funding for the CFPB, more than $4 has been placed back in consumers’ pockets. Elon Musk doesn't want you to know that it's one of the most efficient government agencies we have.

Once again: The fundamental issue that DOGE is failing to address isn’t the size of the government or how “efficient” it is — but who our government is for. Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires — or for the rest of us?

Never forget that Trump was the culmination of 40 years of stagnant wages, widening inequality, corruption, dog-whistle politics, and economic gains for the rich. If we fail to address this, we should expect future Trumps as far as the eye can see.

NEW: Trump wants to raise tariffs — and it’s going to come out of your pocket. @rbreich.bsky.social explains how Trump's trade war will hurt American families.

The problem with Social Security isn't "fraud" like some might have you believe. The problem with Social Security is that as the rich have gotten richer, more of their income has escaped the cap on the SS payroll tax. We can fix this by scrapping the cap.

submitted 9 days ago • 14 comments

Trump’s tariffs are yet another scam — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy. Trump even suggested he would use the revenue to “offset” more tax cuts for the rich and big corporations.

Public trust in government is critical. Having unelected billionaires fire public servants to pad their own profits destroys that trust.

NEW: Are shady investors about to ruin football? The NFL is now letting private equity firms invest in teams. Be warned: when private equity gets involved, prices go up, quality goes down, and wealthy investors get even richer.

The GOP passed a budget resolution last night that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Why? To finance tax cuts for the top 1%. We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

Dear GOP, Mema & Pawpaw no longer have Medicaid coverage. You must take them home and care for them 24/7 in your double wide. Oh, and your kids no longer have free lunch, or health insurance. Your wife must work even if she’s fighting breast cancer. Ain’t America Great again!

Every single Democratic governor and attorney general needs to do this -- if only to make it clear to voters right now that the firings and funding freezes that are about to hurt their states badly are the work of Trump-Musk in Washington. Get ahead of this now, or get blamed for it later.
