Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education? Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

Musk claims Social Security is a "gigantic magnet to attract illegal immigrants." In fact, immigrants here illegally do not collect Social Security. But they pay $25.7 billion a year into it, a recent study found, so these undocumented workers are actually subsidizing Americans.

House passes 6-month "CR" that is not in any way a continuing resolution but a Republican budget, and an invitation for more impoundment. Jared Golden was the only Dem who voted for it.

No House Democrat should vote FOR the CR. Leave the shit show 💯 to Republicans so that America gets to see how they run the country with the trifecta that they have (by cheating. Thanks for the truth X)

Trump's going for it. The unnecessary covid death, now these prospective millions, those he's condemning to death in Ukraine and Gaza. He's still nowhere near Hitler/Stalin/Mao death stats, but he's about to zoom past Suharto and Pol Pot's numbers are in his sights.

Woah--most effed up thing about Mel Gibson story isn't even the senior DOJ official demanding special favors for Gibson because he's a friend of Trump's. It's that Gibson wants a gun because Trump appointed him an "ambassador" to Hollywood.

Trump claims to fight antisemitism. Also, his DOJ just fired a senior attorney for not going along with giving guns back to a violent antisemite, Mel Gibson, who says he deserves a gun because Trump made him "ambassador" to Hollywood, which he believes is controlled by "the Jews."

This is a BFD on its own right, but there's been a great deal of evidence that DOGE has been assuming it could evade FOIA and so sloppy about following obligations that FOIA may now give cause to enforce.

If you were really looking for fraud at SSA, you wouldn’t need write access. You WOULD need write access if you wanted to CREATE fraud where none existed as a pretext to shut down Social Security.

There is a real, genuine 1st Amendment crisis in the United States right now. The government is openly retaliating against anyone with a viewpoint it doesn't like: Pro-Palestinian protesters, law schools teaching Black History, pro-immigration public service loan forgiveness seekers.

Dem analysis of the new GOP funding bill finds it defunds police by $75.6 million. I do remember all the talk in the House last Congress about how terrible crime was in DC, and how they invalidated the District’s criminal justice reform.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Trump’s false denial that he called Zelenskyy a dictator is a classic disinformation tactic. Deny even verifiable facts to cause public cynicism, disgust, and, ultimately, disengagement from politics.
