Despite swearing otherwise just months ago, Republicans have now revealed their plan to take Medicaid away from millions of Americans. There has to be accountability - for the harm and for the lies.

Republicans just blocked their own "big, beautiful bill" that would kick millions of Americans off their health care...because it doesn't cut Medicaid enough.

The Social Security Administration (per DOGE) instituted anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone. Only two out of over 110,000 claims had a high probability of fraud — a rate of .0018% But it slowed retirement claim processing by 25%. "Efficiency."

Kroger is allegedly overcharging consumers by listing expired sales prices on shelves and charging full price at checkout. And thanks to decades of consolidation, Kroger stores are now the only grocers in some rural areas. Minimal competition means maximized price gouging.

"The President is selling access and influence to the highest bidder. Qatar isn't giving a $400 million jet out of the goodness of their hearts – they expect something in return. That's how transactional relationships work, and nobody understands transactional relationships better than Trump."

Busting up big corporations. Tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

I grew up believing that we had learned the lessons of the German poem and Martin Luther King Jr's speeches. We would all speak out if we saw democracy threatened and the rule of law under attack. I will always speak out against wrong. I will always stand up for democracy. I will not back down.

NEW VIDEO: If there is one consistent theme in voter suppression, it is that Republicans hate students voting. Now, two advocacy groups and a student voter are challenging Indiana’s new law banning the use of student ID for voting. Paige and I explain. youtu.be/VqwQU6GwRzU

What’s happening in the Sunshine State should be a warning to the American people, at a time when there is a real danger to our democracy: that too many Republicans in too many places are willing to do anything—anything—to win.

Trump is trying to stifle free speech. He's attacking the press. He's kidnapping U.S. residents and sending them to foreign prisons without due process. When asked if he would uphold the Constitution, he says "I don't know." If this isn't dictatorship, I don't know what is.
