Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

Instead of ripping away health care from millions of people, Republicans should crack down on waste in Medicare Advantage. Tactics like "upcoding"—when for-profit insurance companies exaggerate medical problems to pad their profits—cost taxpayers billions. That’s real waste.

Solidarity with the fired federal workers protesting on the Senate steps today. This admin’s actions are illegal, dangerous, and cruel. We can organize and fight to restore jobs and funding with the power of the people—but only if we choose to use it.

President Trump’s cryptocurrency is an unprecedented opportunity for corruption and bribery, and our End Crypto Corruption Act puts a stop to it. We need a framework that allows the industry to succeed in the U.S., protects consumers and ends abuse by politicians and bad actors.

"President Trump's federal government has spent about $220 billion more in his first 100 days compared to the same time period last year." Good breakdown here of how federal spending is up so much even with all the DOGE cuts.

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.
