This is the House Republican budget plan that Donald Trump endorsed. Trickle up economics.

Let's say there's "waste" and "fraud" in the government. Well that’s why every department had an inspector general to find and stop it. But guess what? Trump fired most of these independent auditors who should be insulated from politics. None of this is about waste and fraud.

Sadly, Kentucky has had the first death of a child to the flu this season. My heart breaks for this family. Let’s do everything we can to stay healthy - vaccines are the best way to protect yourself and your children.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024. You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right? Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

NEWS: 180 Republicans voted AGAINST funding the FAA, the agency that keeps planes from crashing. Trump selected eight of them to serve in his administration. Read our new research—and yes, we name names.

This should be 25th amendment level conduct. The president ordered water to be released from a random dam in California nowhere near the wildfires and then claimed it would help. That’s literally Mad King behavior.

We did not have a FAA administrator to respond to the tragic crash last night in DC. Why? Because Elon Musk pushed the head appointed under Biden to resign after he fined SpaceX for failing to follow safety license requirements. www.theverge.com/news/603113/...

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Most immigrants Trump targets have been here 10+ years, paying taxes, raising families, contributing to our communities. Mass deportation would devastate our economy and tear apart the social fabric of America. https://itep.org/undocumented-immigrants-taxes-2024/

Certainly all the people who were up in arms about Biden not visiting North Carolina immediately will criticize the president’s “fuck you not my problem” attitude to disasters now

Amazon, Meta, and Google donated millions to Trump's inauguration. Why? Collectively they'll gain an annual tax cut worth $7.4 billion if Trump lowers the corporate tax rate. They're also facing major antitrust lawsuits for abusing their market power. Always follow the money.

Trump, who has claimed undocumented immigrants are fueling a crime wave in America, has begun his mass deportations. One of the oldest, ugliest lies is to falsely smear immigrants as criminals. Know the truth.

Egg prices hit record highs this week. Much of the increase is the result of egg shortages brought on by avian flu. How has Trump responded? By ordering public health agencies to cease communications with the public. His presidency is a threat to our health and our wallets.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

Direct govt control over broadcaster speech exceeds FCC authority and is incompatible with free speech. FCC Chair Brendan Carr’s resuscitation of these three complaints is the latest example of his willingness to wield the FCC in a partisan manner. The FCC is not the president’s speech police.

She said, “May I ask you to have mercy Mr. President on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away." If Mike Johnson thinks that’s “radical,” perhaps he has a fundamental misunderstanding of his own religion.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently
