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.

We asked Senate Republicans: is there any millionaire or billionaire rich enough who doesn't need another tax giveaway? $10M a year? No. $100M a year? No. $500M a year? No. $1 BILLION a year? No. With Republicans in control: Billionaires win, families lose.

Since the inauguration of President Trump, stocks in Europe and China are vastly outperforming the U.S. equity market. I will add the early optimism I heard from Wall Street people about Trump is gone as well. www.cnbc.com/2025/02/21/p...

The Mar-a-Lago crew might not care about hurricanes in Florida. But gutting disaster recovery will hurt the same people Donald Trump promised to help.

Republican senators are traitors to the international order that has kept this country safe for the better part of eighty years. They are traitors to their own constituents. They are traitors to everything that has actually made America great.

This was another frenzied week, a continuation of Trump’s efforts to flood the zone using Project 2025 as his roadmap to destruction. There were three major themes to Week 15 we cover in the podcast. Tune in. creators.spotify.com/pod/show/the...

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes. The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds. This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

Hi bluesky! I'm Jessica Denson, the woman who first defeated Trump in court when he was president last time. His mass censorship weapon of choice went down on my watch. I'm not taking this lying down. Who's with me?

Donald Trump and Elon Musk, with this blitzkrieg, are killing people. All the Republicans in Congress are accomplices. And Trump voters bear responsibility for this, too.

The EPA plans to demote career employees and replace them with political appointees, which would give Trump administration loyalists more influence over aspects of the agency that were traditionally led by nonpartisan experts.

Trump used the last four years to turn the GOP into an anti-democratic war machine. And he is not done wreaking havoc. That is the stark reality we face. If we truly care about the future of free and fair elections, we must take the threat Trump poses to our elections literally and seriously.

Let me emphasize: Elon Musk has not been confirmed by Congress. His “department” was never actually enacted. No one other than Trump has given him any authority. Democrats and any Republicans with a spine need to step in and stop this madness. Call your rep now (202) 224-3121

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE full access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

“The Democrats didn’t do enough on Gaza, so I withheld my vote to make a statement.” “Well, Trump won and now he’s gonna destroy Gaza.” “Yep. We’re paying the price for the Democrats’ incompetence.” “‘We?’ The Gazans are paying the price, not us” Pause. “I needed to make a statement.”

Again, in 2022, Congress passed a law that explicitly made these firings illegal. Are Republican senators unaware of that?
