What are Musk and his hackers doing in the Social Security Administration? Americans paid into these accounts with our hard earned money. It has nothing to do with the deficit. That was caused by GOP tax cuts largely for the rich and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Merrick Garland went to extraordinary lengths to avoid appearing political. Pam Bondi went to CPAC, did a podcast interview with Ted Cruz, and made clear that she's brought partisan politics back to the attorney general's office. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

It was always America or Trump. Mitch McConnell made his choice a long time ago. Now, his legacy will always be tied to Trump and the attempt to destroy democracy.

Just when you think Donald Trump cannot sink lower or be more shameful, today he's blaming Ukraine for the war and calling Zelinsky a dictator, when he knows perfectly well that Putin's constant re-elections are put-up jobs.

Trump is simply repeating a Putin talking point here. Russia has insisted on intervening in basic issues of Ukrainian sovereignty for more than a decade. Now Trump is doing Putin’s PR work, making unsustainable arguments for an unjustifiable invasion. www.axios.com/2025/02/18/t...

🚨Elon Musk’s DOGE operatives are attempting to access confidential tax information — tax returns, bank data, Social Security numbers — for millions of Americans. Illegal access can lead to jail time under federal law. @wyden.senate.gov and I are investigating and fighting back.

This is why you fight these cowards. The moment you stand up to them, they crumble. Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights. He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

I’m in Munich and people keep asking me to decode Vance’s speech. OK: In Vance English “free speech” means “Let Musk run your elections” and “democracy” means “let Russia run your elections.” Now move on. 2025 is about what Europeans do, not what Americans say.

Trump’s corrupt quid pro quo with the dismissal of charges against the indicted mayor of NYC is far worse than Watergate. The press and the Democrats need to treat it as such. It is heartening that mass resignations at DOJ show there are still people with integrity in the justice system.

It’s tempting to compare Republican Senators to the Prussian politicians who ushered in Hitler. But it’s unfair. The Prussian politicians were more responsible. They faced a country in crisis, with hyper-inflation, rising Communist influence, breakdown in social order.
