I’m begging Democrats to stop talking about tax breaks for billionaires and the price of eggs! They are firing Air Traffic Controllers, stranding Americans in hostile countries, and getting ready to download our data from the IRS. No one is sitting around thinking “I’m worried about the deficit!”

I think folks think you can talk to a Trump-voter long enough and they will change. Wrong. Their voting habits will change when they are impacted and hurt by Trump policies...maybe. There's no reason to spend a lot of your time on them. Organize. March. Boycott. Write. Call. And then rest.

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

NEW VIDEO: While the country is riveted by what Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing in Washington, DC, the Republican Party continues to attack voting rights in the states and in the United States Supreme Court. Watch and share. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLuW...

watching 60 Minutes about USAID and realizing again the focus is misplaced if trying to help. USAID represents one of the greatest objections by maga. Why not expose the cuts to programs that are going to cause immediate pain? Didn’t even explain how farmers will be hurt. What am I missing?

The CFPB put $19.7B back into the pockets of families who were cheated by financial predators. Let’s be honest: the only reason Trump and Musk would shut down America’s consumer watchdog is because they are corrupt—and they don’t like when anybody stops them from being corrupt.

Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it? That's some fucking bullshit.

Trump’s firing of CFPB Director Rohit Chopra is a slap in the face of all hardworking Americans and makes clear that he is siding with the gigantic Wall Street banks and financial firms against them. Read more in our statement from @denniskelleher.bsky.social: bettermarkets.org/newsroom/tru... .

NEW: US government websites are disappearing in real time, including sites for the US Agency for International Development, foreign assistance, neglected diseases, and children in adversity. We analyzed more than 1000 .gov websites to track what's been taken down—and what's next. wrd.cm/4aFMs5A

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 📉

These days, it can be easy to miss the everyday victories happening outside of Washington. Democrat Mike Zimmer just won the special election for Iowa’s 35th Senate seat, flipping a district Trump won by 21 points. That’s huge!!
