Millionaires stop paying into Social Security today. That’s because they've now made $176,100, and hit the contributions cap. Billionaires made that much about an hour into the year. Elon Musk did in just 15 minutes. Tax the rich. Scrap the cap.

“…the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power.” - FDR, 1938

“When we fix our eyes on Selma, we are reminded that it is not the men in high places … who teach us how to love our country. It is ordinary people who risk it all to demand a place in this nation, those who refuse to bend or bow to men in high places who desecrate the promise of this country.”

“It’s a sad spectacle to see a law firm …rendering itself into an instrument for lawlessness. It’s also a cautionary example of how lawyers should not conduct themselves as the Trump regime proceeds with its effort to replace the nation’s justice system with one governed by cronyism and corruption.”

Trump and Musk’s DOGE cuts are sabotaging Veterans’ healthcare. Slashing VA contracts means gutting care, firing workers, and forcing Veterans onto endless waitlists—all so billionaires can hoard more taxpayer cash. They call it efficiency. It’s cruelty. MORE: www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

I guess the remarkable thing here is that there’s not even a nominal “concession” from Sheinbaum. Nothing changed between yesterday and today on migration or drug policy, but the tariffs are gone. He backed down without an excuse.

President Trump has for years exaggerated the size of US trade deficits with various other countries. Now, as Trump cites those trade deficits as a key justification for his tariff policies, newly released federal statistics show how wrong Trump’s numbers are. | Fact check
