Despite staggering evidence of waste, fraud, and abuse in Medicare Advantage, Donald Trump gave these for-profit insurers another $25 billion after they cozied up to him. He gave them more money to keep ripping you off.

I think this is the one financial crisis in history we could have stopped by just asking Congress to take away this man's power to destroy the economy for his personal pleasure.

It appears that choosing your Defense Secretary solely on whether or not they're willing to use the military to murder U.S. citizens has some drawbacks.

Don't let Donald's tariff stupidity distract you from talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon that put our troops in danger. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not. And we can multitask our criticisms.

AOC is calling out colleagues for stock trades before tariffs were paused: “Any member of Congress who purchased stocks in the last 48 hrs should probably disclose that now … It’s time to ban insider trading in Congress.” AOC is absolutely right. More here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/saturdays-...

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

Any traders with inside information that Trump was going to walk back his tariffs — some of them, presumably, Trump family members and cronies — just made a fortune. It all feels like chaos until you look more closely at who is winning.

I'm not a lawyer, but it seems like SCOTUS just said the government is allowed to disappear anyone it wants from the street and throw them into a Central American torture pit as long as they give the victims a chance to say "wait, what" before the most conservative district court in the system?

Trump sold a bunch of people into slavery in El Salvador—under false pretenses if that matters to you—and when a federal judge told him to reverse that, Trump unlawfully refused, and now the Supreme Court needs to give it a think; apparently they think selling kidnap victims into slavery has merit.

The reason DEI exists is so that competent, qualified people don't get passed over in favor of mediocre incompetent white men who had a well-connected buddy. Or so that utter morons who share war plans on the group chat don't hire their brother and get away with it bc they're white dudes.

Oil & gas companies want a special loophole to dodge a 15% minimum corporate tax. Their corporate-friendly allies in Congress are trying to give it to them. If it passes, dirty energy companies will get out of paying taxes while Congress cuts health care for the poor.

I just called my senators & congressman and asked them to demand the resignations of every Trump official who was on the Signal chat, from the vice president on down. They knew they were breaking the law and it’s highly likely this is a regular occurrence. I urge you to do the same. #TheyMustGo
