Short of the confederate states of America, no force of aggression on earth has done more damage to the United States than Trump and Musk have the capability of doing. And are on track to do.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

Add this to the list of things you need to see to believe... Eric Adamsā€™ 2017 cameo in a Turkish romantic comedy where ā€” get this ā€” the main characters asked him for political favors:

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com: ā€œPushback is kinda coming from everywhere right now... Itā€™s coming from people within the administration... among the most loyal of all the loyalistsā€¦ town halls in some of the reddest pockets of our countryā€¦ And even from world leaders.ā€

@gene4va.bsky.social: ā€œ[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 folksā€¦ that have achieved positions through decades of hard workā€¦ and they're replacing them with yes men.ā€

@kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social: ā€œDan Bongino said that the FBI lied a few months ago when they said, ā€˜We donā€™t know who the suspect is that planted the bombs outside the RNC and DNC the day before January 6ā€™... Now heā€™s going inside to run the place."

@kim.senate.gov: ā€œIf you're going to try to send out a mass email to all federal employees, have them by name identify themselves and what their tasks areā€¦ Basically, we're doing China's job for themā€¦ And I just find that to be appalling.ā€

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com on Pete Hegseth firing Judge Advocates General from the military: ā€œThe point is if you *want* to do things that are illegal, these are some of the people you would get rid of.ā€

New episodes of The Blueprint are out this morning. I have known Rahm for almost 20 years. He never holds back..about the wrong lithmus tests Dems use, what the party has grown lazy about and even the advice he has given candidates.. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Don Lemon has a rare perspectiveā€¦once a longtime primetime host on CNNā€¦he gets pretty real about what media and Democrats can do to get out of the echo chamber podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

About to join @ariberman.bsky.social with @jenpsaki.msnbc.com guest-hosting on @allinwithchris.bsky.social on @msnbc.com to talk about Elon Musk trying to buy WI's Supreme Court for Brad Schimelā€”and how to fight back www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Longtime fan of Jemele Hill. She has the best analogy for what Democrats need to do right now. And much more she had to say in our latest episode of The Blueprint podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Governor Pritzker unapologetically calls it like he sees it from how rigged the system is for working people to how to simplify the economic message any number of Trumpā€™s failures. (And more malortā€¦a Chicago icon) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Why do Trump and his billionaire bankrollers want to ā€œdeleteā€ the CFPB? Fewer watchdogs means more opportunities for you to get scammed ā€” leading to more money for them.

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 consumersā€™ 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 isnā€™t the size of the government or how ā€œefficientā€ it is ā€” but who our government is for. Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires ā€” 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.

If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you. Lyndon B. Johnson

NEW: Trump wants to raise tariffs ā€” and itā€™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.Ā  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.

Trumpā€™s tariffs are yet another scam ā€” 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 ā€œoffsetā€ 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 ā€” 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.

Barney Brown was a true New York baseball icon. He was a four-time Negro League All-Star. His passion for baseball and his time in the New York Black Yankees helped shape the legacy of one of the most important teams in New York, leading the fight for equality in sports.

This is cool. Newsweek wrote a whole piece on me and my brothers and interviewed me! Hope you enjoy.

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 sheā€™s fighting breast cancer. Ainā€™t America Great again!
