The FDIC protects your hard earn money in the bank and helps prevent another financial crash. Trump and Musk’s move to fire these workers is dangerous. I led Senate Democrats in pushing back, and now independent investigators are on the case.

Anyone else been hearing a lot about "We just need better messaging!" "We just need a left Joe Rogan!" lately? About that. There's one reason the right has more social media than the left, with bigger audiences. Right-wingers pay their creators. End of list.

Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.
