The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes per year — enough to end homelessness, hunger, and pay for universal childcare. 👆🏻 This is the crime wave we should be talking more about.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

EXCLUSIVE: A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Sending my solidarity, prayers and support to @governor.pa.gov and his family, who endured a horrific arson attack on the first night of Passover. We must oppose and root out political violence in our country to protect democracy and freedom.

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?

When an attempt was made on Donald Trump’s life, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris immediately issued statements condemning the shooting and all political violence. The fact that Donald Trump hasn’t said a word about the arson attack on Gov. Shapiro and his family tells you all you need to know.

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election. 70% of these donations went to Republicans. Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich. This is what oligarchy looks like.

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.

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

He's been attacking women for years. They voted for him.....again.

Trump’s own voters are turning on him.

When your Taco Bell Corporate Alumni group chat goes off. "yo quiero Taco Bell" 😂

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Republicans’ proposed tax cuts — predominantly benefiting the rich — will now cost $5.5 trillion over the decade according to new CBO estimates. Previous estimates were were tagged at $4.6T, but Republicans added in even more tax cuts. They really can't help themselves.

Production at this facility was temporarily shut down as they assessed the impact of tariffs going forward.

Newsweek: "MeidasTouch Network has continued to attract new subscribers since the president's second term began, becoming the fastest-growing political channel on YouTube in the first quarter of 2025."

When national security staff are axed after a fringe influencer whispers in the President’s ear, the rot is no longer creeping—it’s systemic. This isn’t governance. It’s paranoia in power, and the cost is institutional credibility.

Penguins are fleeing rather than surrendering to the Trump tariffs.

The Social Security Administration under Trump/Musk/DOGE: -Website crashed 4 times in 10 days -Phone lines are overwhelmed -Staff being forced out -Customer experience office eliminated -SSA field offices on the chopping block This is an attack on Social Security itself.

A couple of years ago, I noticed that Dems were losing ground with Latino voters. I launched a Spanish-language YouTube channel to reach those people. That channel is now on its way to 300,000 subscribers and has nearly 50 million views. We have be aggressive and go into spaces we're not already in.

All the Democratic leaders say the right thing, but we will judge you guys by your actions.

Republicans want to fully repeal the estate tax. This would result in a massive tax cut for the wealthiest families and further entrench an American aristocracy. How will Republicans pay for it? With major cuts to social programs like Medicaid and SNAP. Trickle up economics.

Greg Palast reports, the Osage Nation is officially going to war against DOGE.

Early voting is taking place for the special elections in Florida for seats in the U.S. House in the 1st and 6th Congressional Districts. Election Day is on Tuesday, April 1st. Get out and vote for Democratic candidates Gay Valimont and Josh Weil!

Tulsi Gabbard, again, states she has removed Hillary Clinton’s security clearance. August 30, 2018. Hillary Clinton asked for her security clearance be removed. This was nearly 7 years ago. It was removed by the State Department as per her request. Chuck Grassley released the letter.

In case y'all haven't noticed, citizens in Turkey, including Pikachu, are rising up against the authoritarian fascism of the Erdogan government. America's time is coming. 😳👇

Narrator: She was not greeted as a liberator.

Pete Hegseth watching this at home!!

Pete Hegseth is the most unqualified Secretary of Defense in U.S. history. The Signal debacle is a grave warning that must be heeded. The lives of service members and America’s national security are at stake. Hegseth must resign now, before dangerous errors lead to horrifying consequences.

A North Carolina town descended into chaos after any attendees began questioning Republican representative Chuck Edwards about U.S.

Lemme get this straight… Donald Trump essentially extorted $40 million in legal services from a law firm?

Musk owns 13% of Tesla's stocks. He can be ousted. As an absent CEO, he is mismanaging Tesla (few new models & many recalls) & by giving it the appropriate nickname "Nazicar" he is killing Tesla. Any responsible board would sack him.

Having already spent over $7M backing the right-wing candidate in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election, Elon Musk's Super PAC is now offering Wisconsin voters $100 each to sign its petition against "activist judges." This is what a broken campaign finance system looks like.

Raskin: "There's an absolute attack on the Constitution taking place by an administration which views the Constitution as just inconvenient furniture that's gotta be kicked out of the way."

If Republicans cut $880 billion from Medicaid: - Millions of children will lose their health care. - Funding for community health centers will dry up. - Your mom and dad may not be able to get the nursing home care they need. That's what happens when Musk runs the government.

JUST NOW: A committee that would’ve heard the Lamberth bill to keep undocumented kids out of schools was disrupted as the entire audience recited the pledge of allegiance until they adjourned and moved to a locked room🤨

AOC: "There is a deep sense of outrage … There are members of Congress who have won Trump-held districts … walked the plank and took innumerable risks in order to defend the American people … To see some Senate Democrats even consider acquiescing to Elon Musk, I think it is a huge slap in the face."

A federal judge in Washington has ordered Elon Musk and operatives involved with his Department of Government Efficiency to hand over documents and answer questions about its role in directing mass firings and dismantling government programs.
