Trump and DOGE are dismantling Social Security— firing thousands of SSA employees and shuttering offices. Why? Because they don't want one of the govt's most successful programs to work. They want to pave the way for privatization so Wall Street can gamble with our retirement.

Do you know why rural and working people are listening to Walz and AOC and Bernie? Because they tell the damn truth. Because they are passionate about people. Because they are authentic. Because they care. They are the new face of the opposition.

If you attack the Capitol to overturn election results and to overthrow democracy on behalf of a criminal, you’re a hero. If you attack a Tesla dealership, we’ll throw away the key.

@schumer.senate.gov what a sell out you are. Grow a spine and vote no. Stand up for democracy, vote no. A yes vote means you are a trumper.

The House just voted that “each day for the remainder of the 119th Congress shall not constitute a calendar day for purposes of section 202 of the National Emergencies Act.” A day is not a day. Lewis Carroll, George Orwell, and Franz Kafka must all be chuckling — or weeping.

COLBERT, on Rep. Al Green’s removal: “Some people questioned why so much muscle was needed to remove an old man with a cane. But it turns out it was for a serious reason. When security searched him, they found that he smuggled in a spine." @latenightercom.bsky.social

Chris Murphy: "Everyone who signs up to work for Donald Trump is signing up for one single project, and that is the transition of American democracy to a kind of kleptocratic oligarchy in which the billionaires rule and get to steal from regular Americans."

There is a blind spot for Democrats and it's rural America. We are so uncomfortable working in rural spaces that we've completely given up trying to speak to rural people -- after we abandoned them for decades we turn around and call them racists for voting for Republicans. Ask me how I know...

No one follows more etiquette rules than the Royal Family—but notice how King Charles didn’t make any smart-ass or demeaning comments about Zelensky’s attire today. Why? Because respect isn’t about clothes—it’s about character. And that’s something money can’t buy.

Since the president has signed an EO making English the official language of the United States, here is the first non-English copy of the Declaration of Independence, printed in German just days after July 4, 1776. We have always been multilingual. cdm16274.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/coll...

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Trump's Social Security Administration commissioner just called for a 50% staff reduction. This would gut SSA field offices and make it harder for millions of seniors to access benefits. Make no mistake: this is an attack on Social Security itself.

The Capitol Police arrested a group of peaceful protesters who demonstrated today in the Cannon House Office Building against the Trump’s decision to freeze foreign aid and lay off thousands of USAID workers. The president has made his message clear: disagree with them, and they will come after you.

Just an FYI: Medicaid fraud is rarely perpetrated by beneficiaries. The fraudsters are almost always the doctors and CEO's that administer Medicaid. For example: when a doctor charges the government $600 for an $8 breast pump and pockets the cash and the third party administrator takes a cut.
