The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year. This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year. See what DOGE is really about?

Walz: "My beef on this is that this guy is out there crying about his portfolio, and my mom's Social Security check this month is late. That he's attacking the portfolios of working Minnesotans and working Americans who have paid into these programs that he calls a Ponzi scheme."

Walz: It's like trump is stuck in the 80s. His music, his clothing, his thinking. I think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country that Donald Trump understands anything about business. He's bankrupted every single one he's been into, and now he's bankrupting this country

The wages of the richest 1% have skyrocketed 182% since 1979. Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth. Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

I spoke to a South Carolina woman today who is miscarrying - her fetus has no heartbeat - but the state's ban is preventing doctors from taking action. She has to walk around with a dead fetus for another week so she can get a FOURTH ultrasound. This is what bans do.

1. On Tuesday, voters rejected anti-trans ads, Elon Musk by electing Susan Crawford to the Wisconsin Supreme Court. It was supposed to be close. She won by 10 points. Dems do NOT need to throw trans people under the bus to win. The latest from Mira Lazine. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

I’ve been saying this forever. I’ve never understood why people think republicans are good for the economy. They’re not. Their policies are horrible and the numbers bear that out.

Every morning we have to wake up to the hugely influential ramblings of a monster who wasn’t even voted into office. Before we have the debate about “this world offers young men nothing” we have to listen to the reasons why you can only do what this monster is doing if you’re a man.

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.
