My friend Attorney General Nick Brown has been on the frontlines of the legal fights against nearly all of Trump’s unconstitutional actions — and he’s been winning. Thank you for all of your work, @atg.wa.gov. www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

When the media points out Trump’s “potential conflicts of interest,” as it has in recent days when describing Trump’s growing crypto enterprise, it doesn’t come close to telling the public what’s really going on. The correct word is corruption. robertreich.substack.com/p/dont-call-...

Trump’s back in the White House—and his kids are cashing in. Saudi towers, Qatari golf deals, crypto schemes. This isn’t public service. It’s a shakedown. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

President Trump has just admitted that he “doesn’t know” whether he needs to uphold the Constitution. This is as un-American as it gets.

The Trump family's crypto business just got a huge $2 billion investment from a UAE government-backed firm. We are witnessing a foreign government effectively bribe the President of the United States — right out in the open. Hello?

He stood there on Jan 20 and falsely mouthed the words to protect and defend our Constitution. Asked now on Meet the Press if he thinks he needs to uphold the Constitution, he says, “I don’t know.” Translation: No. Woe to America and the utter failure of putting this man back in our Oval Office.

Republicans and big insurance companies like to call Medicare for All “radical.” What’s so radical about having a universal health care system like every other developed country in the world? The American people deserve a health care system that actually WORKS.

Trump's mishandling of the economy during his first 100 days shouldn't surprise anyone. He doesn't understand the economy and tanked pretty much every business he ever touched. Watch. https://youtu.be/zbh9SW5Cgqg?si=tmQLdtdCWpVAWW-r

"Trump has always been an ignoramus who masks his intellectual shortcomings with bombast and declarations of his own brilliance, but his rambling nonsensical responses in these latest interviews should set off alarms — especially in light of all the media attention and scrutiny Joe Biden received"

“It’s hard to see how Trump would have acted any differently if he were a Russian asset than how he has acted in the first 100 days of his second term.” Huh. You don't say. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/26/u...

In an area where the most important things in life are faith, fishing, and family, climate science has been a tougher conversation. Despite their vulnerability to such changes, people Down East seldom use terms like “climate change” or “sea level rise." www.theassemblync.com/environment/...

Why do Elon "Social Security's a Ponzi scheme" Musk and his DOGE cronies need to stick their fingers in your personal data — your work history, income, benefits, and health records? Trump and Musk need to get their hands off Americans' Social Security.

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

Senate Republicans voted to kill an EPA rule limiting the seven most hazardous air pollutants emitted by chemical plants and other industrial facilities. Inhaling even small amounts of these pollutants can cause brain damage and cancer. How is this Making America Healthy Again?

Last night, I offered an amendment to Republicans’ budget bill to prevent ICE from conducting immigration raids at domestic violence shelters. Every Republican voted no — abandoning DV survivors and enabling their abusers. Shameful. www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6EH...

Rep Eric Swalwell walked out in shock—and who could blame him? Every single GOP member on the House Judiciary Committee just voted to let Trump “deport” American citizens. This is illegal, authoritarian, and unforgivable 🤬 Time to call, write, & protest before the full House votes.

Republicans’ budget bill will slash at least $880 BILLION from Medicaid. That’s taking away health care from one-third of Americans, 38 million kids, and nursing home coverage from five out of eight seniors. It’s a betrayal of the middle class.

Despite Trump's corruption and the GOP's enabling, we must remember that WE ARE STRONGER when we fight together! We, the people, have the power to demand change and hold our leaders accountable. We will NOT let #TheCostOfTrump take away our Democracy and Freedom.

It really takes a lot for me to say this, but the Graham tweet is genuinely a pretty offensive thing to say.

Trump’s DOJ ordered ICE agents to conduct home raids without a warrant, in clear violation of the 4th Amendment. And three American children were just unlawfully deported, including one with cancer. Where is the outrage from the so-called “party of freedom”?

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises. But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up. It's up to us to demand something better.
