What’s on the chopping block due to Trump’s cuts to NIH? Crucial cancer services for rural patients. Groundbreaking diabetes research. A treatment for children with severe intellectual disabilities. Tell me how this is supposed to make America healthy again?

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires. There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom. Dems need to learn this.

Every day we need to remind ourselves none of this is normal, we are living in an America dangerously close to a slide into tyranny. Destroying the rule of law & the independence of the judiciary is always a first step for would-be dictators. Trump is no different. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

This morning, Trump issued a threatening post against a federal judge who's trying to constrain him. It's part of an increasing attempt to threaten judges with violence. Trump is descending even further into dictatorship. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-further-descent-into-dictatorship

Louis DeJoy's wishlist to DOGE includes slashing 10,000 jobs, closing tens of thousands of postal retail centers, and gutting oversight. This will devastate seniors, small businesses, rural communities, and anyone else who relies on an affordable and reliable Postal Service.

Just a non-gentle reminder of this guy's past. People knew who he was and what he stood for. His resume was blatantly clear. Now, he is doing the same on a massive scale and with help.

A US-born citizen was walking near Chicago in January. ICE snatched him off the street, handcuffed him, threw into a van. His wallet, which contained his ID, was confiscated. He was detained for 10 hours before being released without a record of what occurred. immigrantjustice.org/sites/defaul...

Trump says he’ll use revenue from tariffs to “offset” more big tax cuts. Those tax cuts will disproportionately benefit wealthy Americans and big corporations. But revenue raised from tariffs will be coming disproportionately from average working people. It's another scam.

Millions of Americans — especially seniors, small businesses, and rural communities — rely daily on USPS's affordable rates and universal service. Privatization would make the mail more expensive and less reliable — all to enrich the billionaire class. We cannot let it happen.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent $18 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as he slashes the federal workforce, guts funding for vital programs, and tees up major cuts to Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the rich. Hello?

Do you know why rural and working people are listening to Walz and AOC and Bernie? Because they tell the damn truth. Because they are passionate about people. Because they are authentic. Because they care. They are the new face of the opposition.

While the Russian Useful Idiot in the White House is busy claiming bullshit wartime authority to further his efforts destructing Democracy, just a reminder that everything he has said is a lie & everything that he says going forward will be a lie. As for his enablers, screw them.

Hours after Donald Trump did a free commercial for Tesla on the White House lawn, Elon Musk reportedly announced plans to donate $100 million to a MAGA super PAC. Money in politics has always corrupted, but it's hardly been this brazen.
