Most people probably aren’t tracking this but Senate Republicans just started an all-night voting marathon that will allow them to gut Medicaid and increase child hunger while giving handouts to billionaires like Elon Musk.

The IRS is expected to fire upwards of 6,000 employees as early as today. This will mean fewer audits for rich tax dodgers. According to U.S. Treasury estimates, the top 1% underpay their taxes by $163 billion every year.

Again, the two most impactful lies of the past half-century have been “Trump is a good businessman” and “Republicans are the good-at-economy party”

How Hitler seized power: 1. Create a crisis. 2. Demonize opponents. 3. Declare a state of emergency. 4. Undermine elections. 5. Make the rule of law irrelevant. 6. Rule by decree. If America falls it will be because of the people who didn’t pay attention.

Trump wants you to forget that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator during his first week in office. Don’t forget.

First nuclear weapons management, now this. No one - Democrat or Republican - voted for this kind of incompetence.

The president is a Russian asset who stole classified documents and stored them in his bathroom. The government is being run by an unelected Russian asset who knows nothing about running the government. His DOGE minions built their official website on twitter instead of an official .gov website.

SpaceX CEO Elton Musk is now reported to be auditing NASA, a federal agency with which he is in direct competition. THIS IS AN ACTUAL CRIME. And not in the sense of like "that ought to be a crime!" but LITERALLY A FEDERAL CRIME that he is just doing in public www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

Imagine what Trump and Musk are doing that we DON’T know about. Of course we are in a full blown Constitutional crisis. If Republicans had an ounce of courage, they would’ve impeached and removed him already. We must never stop fighting. Onward.

The United States is now an open kleptocracy. The Constitution has been suspended to allow the wealthiest man in the world to loot and destroy the federal government.

FBI whistleblowers suggest Patel may have committed perjury about FBI purges. Judiciary Committee Dems want to bring Patel back to answer questions. Why doesn't Sen. Grassley want the truth to come out? www.peoplefor.org/rightwingwat...

The American Bar Association has just called upon every attorney, regardless of their political views, to join them & stand up for the rule of law & at minimum insist that our government "follow the law." Every lawyer has an ethical responsibility to do so. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

A made-up story about Musk helping a Starbucks barista's daughter originated on YouTube, then took on new life thanks to artificial intelligence. It's all fiction.

Where is the Farm Bureau? They are silent. They are complicit. They consistently have their members vote for Republicans. You should be giving some of the blame to them as well…
