Let’s be clear: Trump cannot unilaterally abolish a federal department created by Congress. So this GOP attack on public education will have to end with Congress — and that means we need to maximize pressure on Congress to ensure the Department of Education outlasts the Trump Administration.

Get ready. It's easy to say Trump is just stirring the pot to keep everyone distracted. But just watch. They are going to dismantle voting rights and make it difficult to vote. That's why the top US election security watchdog was forced to stop election security work.

We’re hearing that Republicans will soon bring back the SAVE Act for a vote. This bill is a blatant voter suppression tactic that could block millions of Americans from voting by imposing unnecessary and harmful citizenship verification requirements.

To Trump, corruption means “holding me accountable.” That’s why he fired 18 IGs, dismantled DOJ’s “public integrity” section and installed hacks at the top of law enforcement, all while his net worth has risen by billions. This is a get rich quick, get out of jail free racket.

Tesla stock is falling because Musk is a mentally insane drug addict. That's the headline. And just for the record, no US stock was ever more powerfully buffeted than Tesla. But treasure the plunge. Tesla's 54% drop since the Trump bump is the greatest fall among index members.

Of course Trump got BlackRock to buy control of 2 ports. The company that orchestrated the housing crisis in Canada, AUS, NZ, Ireland & US. Price people out of residential blocks then control strategic geopolitical assets. Guarantee there's something sinister behind it, not just the obvious.
