Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

The GOP's tax cuts for their billionaire donors ballooned the deficit, so they're blaming the problem on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid — demanding cuts to programs that millions of Americans rely on. It's socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

We invited Elon Musk to defend himself in front of the American people. He was too much of a coward to show up.

Sounds like a billionaire who’s never talked to a working person in his life. Elon: get your hands off of Americans’ hard-earned Social Security.

The Trump-Vance-Musk regime is not only undermining democracy in the US. It is laying the foundation for undermining democracies around the world. The emerging battle will be global democracy vs. a global oligarchy. The US is emerging on the side of global oligarchy.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk going after the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau tells you everything you need to know about their priorities. Instead of lowering prices on "day one" as Trump said, he's raising costs on families by letting Wall Street cheat them.

While one could argue that it's obvious...it should be frequently pointed out...that much of what the Trump administration is doing is ILLEGAL. They are blatantly BREAKING THE LAW. There is nothing about it that should be surprising; but,we must keep driving that fact home.

The best messaging is to state what everyone knows to be the truth in the simplest and clearest way possible. So it’s hard to imagine more effective messaging than this.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to programs that millions of people rely on. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

As Trump tries to dismantle the Department of Education, remember that his plan to cut the corporate tax rate to 15% would give the 100 largest corporations a tax cut larger than the entire department's K-12 budget. Really think about how twisted this all is.
