Trump couldn't care less if he collapses the economy. He wants to go back to the Gilded Age, and will gladly burn America to the ground to live his dictatorial dream. www.joyannreid.com/p/the-daily-...

Hey, Politico -- I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone. Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down. Defiantly, Marc Elias

An October 2024 story about Russell Vought captured the breadth and ferocity of the coming attack on the federal government. So why didn’t this story drive more of a national conversation when it appeared?

@warnock.senate.gov: "If they're interested in waste, fraud, and abuse, they should start with co-president Musk's own companies, and ask why has he gotten $20 billion and more from the federal government. This is wealth-fare at its worst."

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125. The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN. This is trickle down economics on steroids.

STOP IT. I don’t want to hear another person ask, “Where’s Kamala? What is she doing?” Did you learn nothing from this election? The country said they didn’t want her. They’d rather have a racist authoritarian with Project 2025 in his back pocket as President of the United States. 1/2

Jeffries: "The average Social Security recipient in the US receives about $65 a day in benefits. Elon Musk in his contracts with the federal government gets about $8 million a day.

Whoa! Rep. James Clyburn acknowledges that Leader Hakeem Jeffries was “blindsided” by Chuck Schumer’s vote and also says that House Democrats are on retreat, talking about a primary challenge. 🔥 @schumer.senate.gov isn’t up for reelection until 2028. Chuck needs to step down from leadership now.
