In January, Trump fired 19 inspectors general who root out fraud and corruption. One of his picks to replace them is a GOP ex-congressman who allegedly violated House ethics rules. Another resigned from a state job after allegedly mishandling taxpayer money. "Drain the swamp."

Elon Musk is finally blowing out of town. BUH 👋 BYE. Came in like a science-denying wrecking storm, gutted climate policy, slashed USAID, and left a wake of devastation — and actual deaths — behind. Don’t let the rocket door 🚀 hit you on the way out. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

As the climate crisis brings on increasingly hotter summers, keeping our homes cool can be a matter of life or death. Meanwhile, Trump is trying to eliminate a program that helps millions of people pay their energy bills and keep the AC on. Hello?

If Trump ends the contempt power of judges with his “big, beautiful bill,” no one will be able to stop him. A future Congress would need the power of the courts to enforce their investigations, subpoenas, and laws. It would be the end of American democracy.

Remember how Trump convinced people he was a brilliant businessman? Now, he’s repackaged himself as some kind of “alpha leader.” But just like his businessman brand, Trump's strongman persona is crumbling right before our eyes as he struggles to hide his profound weakness as a leader.

Remember when Trump claimed the Biden administration wasn’t doing enough to help North Carolina recover from Hurricane Helene? Well, his administration just denied the state’s request for continued FEMA relief assistance. This hypocrisy isn’t just staggering. It’s cruel.

A recent report found that Elon Musk faced at least $2.37B in potential legal liability from 11 fed agencies as of Inauguration Day. As he exits, these agencies are still on DOGE's chopping block or have dropped investigations into his corporations. See what this was about?

Trump and Republicans on Capitol Hill have taken social Darwinism to a new level of absurdity. The America they seek is the one we last had in the Gilded Age of the late 19th century. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-reemergence-of-social-darwinism

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.
