"For decades I've been putting money into Social Security. And I have a disabled Grandson who's 23 who depends on it. My father was killed down there when a furnace blew up. I wasn't even 10 years old. It's not only retirees, you gotta think of the youngsters too" - steel plant retiree Thomas Sedor.

Need proof that Tarriffs will affect us in a big way ? My daughter is getting married in June so I needed to buy a dress . The company warned that prices would be going up so I ordered mine before they did. The dress went up by $70.00 !

@cnn.com Don't bother @cnn.com No one reads you. We will not pay for news we can read for free. You even took away the Live updates that people could read for free. I skip your page entirely and so do millions of others. No cable either. Bye Bye.

Stephen Miller lining the White House drive with mug shots of migrants is another sign that he's trying to acclimate, boiled-frog style, us to fascist imagery and tactics. That's why it's so critical that the middle of the country is recoiling at it: newrepublic.com/article/1944...

When you have no substance, image is all you have. Hegseth is a moron. The only thing he has left is the MAGA "warfighter" crap. That is why SIGNALGATE is so devastating. Even idiot MAGA can see how stupid this is.

Trump’s push to gut civil service protections under "Schedule F" would make government a loyalty test — not a meritocracy. Veterans who continue serving as public servants would be forced to swear fealty to Trump — or lose their jobs. That's not democracy. That's dictatorship.

House Republicans are trying to ram through a budget that ends Medicaid as we know it and discards the interests of children, seniors and veterans. Shoulder to shoulder, the people say 'hell no.' Hang tough everybody.

Trump has set up a new club where CEOs, tech bros, and foreign oligarchs can pay $500,000 to join in order to get access to the Trump Cabinet who will all be there regularly. Just because the grift is all public doesn’t mean this isn’t the most corrupt White House in history.

"Every government lies now and then, but authoritarian regimes go further. They don’t just stretch or hide the truth. They look you in the eye and tell you that what you just saw didn’t happen." Propaganda is now part of our politics.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Seems bad that the new U.S. Attorney who is threatening to lock up Trump’s political opponents was working for Russia before getting his new job. But maybe it’s just me.

The Trump-Supreme Court battle is not really the crisis. The crisis is here now. Trump is enacting an insidious coordinated attack on our institutions of democratic accountability, designed to crater democracy before next fall. 1/ A long 🧵to explain the plan & how we stop it.

Trump is trying to fix the rules so he gets to rule forever; following the authoritarian playbook to the letter: - harass or co-opt the press - weaken the lawyers - silence universities and student protest - cut off funding for the opposition But we won’t let him win.

If anyone out there was undecided on whether Trump is operationalizing a precise, coordinated plan to destroy our democracy so he can rule until he dies, the move to shut down Act Blue, the primary way Democrats’ campaigns are funded, should be the final proof point.

It is time for Trump to put up or shut up in Court. A FEDERAL JUDGE said “no evidence before the court connects Abrego Garcia to MS-13 or any criminal organization.” No one is vouching for one man. We are standing up for EVERYONE’s right to due process under the Constitution.
