Trump and DOGE want to slash the FDIC's workforce by 20%, leaving fewer watchdogs on the beat to police Wall Street misconduct. Remember: the FDIC was created during the Depression to protect people's deposit accounts. Gutting it could lead to another financial meltdown.

Of course advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

📌Today's candidate for "most heinous people on Earth" - Ridglan Farms. "Ridglan undertook procedures without use of anesthesia, to remove glands from the dogs’ eyes and clip their vocal cords to lower the volume of their barking." Now THEY are suing people trying to stop them. OUT THESE MONSTERS.

I’m convinced that Trump met with all republican members and told them that if they all back him they’ll never have to campaign again and they’ll have their positions permanently.

By defying the Supreme Court’s order to return Abrego Garcia from El Salvador, Trump is laying the groundwork to do the same to U.S. citizens. Now is the time to speak out — before there is no one left to speak. We are on a path towards dictatorship.

“The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage, a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China.” We are now viewed as a security threat, to our once closest allies. Enraging & heartbreaking. www.ft.com/content/20d0...

Growing up, I had the epiphany that America’s founding fathers had the realization that the natural state of a government is oppressing its people. So they designed a system where this was extremely hard to do. Ever since then America has been striving to return to mean.

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens. The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

Here’s the bottom line - we need to take power out of Republican hands. Wherever we can. However we can. Independent Dan Osborn can do that in Nebraska. And WE can help. There is a real chance to flip a red district, IF the Osborn campaign has the resources. So LFG. 👇 actl.ink/daosbsen4325...

Federal politicians should not be allowed to day trade stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. And they should be prohibited from purchasing any investment instruments outside of predetermined time windows. How many politicians in DC today made money because they knew the tariffs were going to be removed?
