Today's Oval Office spectacle wasn't about showing strength, it was about surrendering to Putin. Trump and JD Vance have completely sold out America. Watch @therickwilson.bsky.social n react: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6_m...

“This all fits in with the Project 2025 goal of shrinking the nonpartisan federal workforce and replacing those employees with political supporters, the types of people who will bend the federal government to Trump’s will.” @mollyjongfast.bsky.social is right, and it should scare you. bit.ly/3WLLJdH

The world’s richest man who no one elected just walked into the US Treasury, stole your Social Security number, and Trump let him. You deserve to know why this is happening - call your member of Congress and Senators (202) 224-3121 and ask why.

One of my party facts is that according to polls, Americans believe foreign aid is about 25% of the federal budget and on average that it *should* be about 10%. The actual number is less than 1%. Foreign aid has long been a boogey man of the right, so it's not surprising they're vilifying it now.

“Missouri’s NUMBER ONE trade partner is Canada. Trump starting a trade war with Missouri’s best customer is going to hurt #Missouri businesses while making things MORE EXPENSIVE for Missouri families.” #moleg ~ Missouri Senate Democrats

During Trump's first term, some EPA scientists said managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage and neurological problems, from their reports. In some cases, they said, the managers deleted the information themselves. (Published Sept. 2024)

Arizona’s Medicaid agency acknowledged that a fraud scheme targeting Indigenous people with addictions cost taxpayers as much as $2.5 billion. But the state hasn’t accounted publicly for the number of deaths caused by the crisis.

My statement on the FBI Purge that puts at risk the safety, well-being and national security of the American people.

A message to the US Senate: America is watching. Patel, Gabbard, and RFK are more than just unfit. They are a danger to our country, and to our people's safety. Use your vote to protect the people you represent. History will remember your choice.

Trump backed down. This is a win. It's what happens when we fight back.

Pam Bondi, like most of Trump's nominees, is an enemy of Democracy. She will do anything Trump asks, which is the most dangerous quality our next Attorney General could have. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/res...
