Just a reminder that Republicans in Congress could put a stop to this at any time.

Why do so many feel like they've fallen behind? It's not because of immigrants, trans people, DEI, the “deep state,” or any other bogeyman trotted out by the GOP. It's because big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

Here’s Heather Cox Richardson with a welcome reminder that Military and Law Enforcement is not as MAGA as we might think. The military has a long tradition of upholding the constitution and strict guidelines for engaging citizens. We need our military to be true patriots right now.🙏🏻 #MilitarySky

Oh great, a Hatch Act violation and ignorance about California term limiting governors, all in one!

A reminder, because apparently that’s needed today: tarring and feathering is an act of physical violence against someone. During the Revolutionary era, it was employed specifically as an act of terror to intimidate officials, merchants, and others who opposed the Sons of Liberty.

President Donald Trump said that he plans to phase out FEMA after this year’s hurricane season, offering the clearest timeline yet for his administration’s long-term plans to dismantle the disaster relief agency and shift responsibility for response and recovery onto states.

Add the Smithsonian to the list of the country's cultural institutions undergoing a MAGA-style overhaul as President Donald Trump moves to purge what he called "anti-American ideology" from exhibits across its 21 museums and the National Zoo.

After spending a lifetime teaching, I know my proudest legacy is the students who will rebuild this country — making it better, more just, and more equal. My colleagues at @imcivicaction.bsky.social‬ have announced that tickets are on sale for their film about my last semester teaching.

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Why did Congressional Republicans jam through an unpopular budget with the largest Medicaid cuts in history? It could be because nearly 70% of them would financially benefit from the bill's extension of Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Reverse Robin Hood.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Trump just fired the three Democratic members of the Consumer Product Safety Commission. The CPSC regulates the safety of everyday consumer products. Guess who recently sued the agency and claimed that it's "unconstitutional"? Amazon. Connect the dots.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

People across the country and around the world turned out on Saturday for what organizers say has been the single biggest day of protests against President Trump and his second-term actions. In the U.S., more than a thousand rallies were planned in small towns and major cities from coast to coast.

Sen. Booker just broke the record for the longest floor speech in Senate history—a record set by Strom Thurmond trying to block the Civil Rights Act. The irony ain’t lost on us. From fighting against justice to fighting for it. This is what courage & being on the right side of history looks like!

We appreciate that Senator Booker is putting in all of this work to get attention where it belongs: The Trump-Musk coup. We don’t want to see Democrats behaving like this dangerous administration is business as usual — we hope more of your colleagues will follow your lead here.

The Trump regime is working to deter dissent. Anyone who goes against Trump could end up on a target list. This is having a chilling effect on five major pillars of society — universities, science, the media, the law, and the arts. It's straight out of the fascist playbook.

The Trump regime's repeated attacks on "DEI," "wokeness," and the trans community have one clear purpose: If we are angry at each other, we don't look up to see how big corporations and billionaires have rigged markets and siphoned off most of the economy's gains.

This flew under the radar, but Trump revoked a minimum wage hike for companies that contract with the government. An estimated 390,000 workers will now see significant pay cuts. It's not surprising that Trump's populism is fake, but it's hardly ever been more clear.
