This is important - GOP members of Congress own this crash as much as Trump. House and Senate seats will be up for election in 2026. We cannot let any of those enablers get a free pass because we are focused on Trump. Every Republican is to blame.

The Trump admin just gutted the CDC—firing thousands who worked on HIV prevention, lead poisoning, asthma, and more. Programs that kept Americans healthy are gone overnight. This is cruelty, not efficiency. People will die.

Dems should propose impeachment for the illegal tariffs. It's not just a unilateral tax. It is globo-political damage that we will not recover from.

Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.

Trump's bizarre new tirade over Elon Musk, Tesla, and the "radical left" actually shows weakness. Trump now sees that his political fortunes are tightly tied to Musk's DOGE disasters, and he sees Tesla's tanking stock as a very bad omen. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1926...

Trump won't lift a finger to lower prices for American families, but he’s happy to boost car sales for his co-conspirator in rigging the government for the ultra-rich. Another reminder that Trump's "golden age" isn't for working people — it's for billionaires like Elon Musk.

The Columbia deportation case is bad enough on its own — but the precedent is worse. People can be deported without breaking a law because of a vague reference to foreign policy.

Donald Trump is not just a regular, ordinary screw-up. Donald Trump is a massive screw-up. He inherited an economy with projections of growth as far as the eye could see — and turned it into the #TrumpSlump.

At this point given the underperformance of his companies and his contribution to a dramatic slowdown of the US economy the only possible justification Musk has for continuing his work in DC is that he has promised his boards plunder - stolen data, control of the FAA and broadband build out, etc.

While Trump and DOGE operate in the shadows to fire veterans and VA staff, I am pushing back in any way that I can. They are taking us backward when it comes to serving our veterans and providing them with the best care.

Trump: "We don't need Canada's lumber. So what I'm doing is I'll be signing an executive order freeing up our forests so that we're allowed to take down trees and make a lot of money and then re-harvest trees ... we don't need anything from Canada."
