They're plundering the national treasury.

Trump is touting the no tax on tips provision in his budget bill. But many tipped workers won't benefit because their earnings are so low. And the provision expires in 2028. The estate tax cuts that primarily benefit the rich? Those were made permanent. Funny how that works.

The Trump budget calls to eliminate the Native Hawaiian education program but doesn't eliminate the Alaskan Native education program. What's the difference, you might ask? One state voted for him, and one didn't.

Killing people is entertainment to the sociopaths in the White House. Decency demands that we resist this.

It’s insane this is legal. People around Trump are profiting off war and death. I’m introducing legislation ASAP to ban this.

Republicans’ voter suppression bills passed the House, but they can't get through the Senate without Democratic votes. Contact your senators and tell them to stop the GOP’s attack on our voting rights.

I spoke to the President earlier. We had a productive conversation and I explained to him that his staff doesn’t have their facts straight about Minnesota. My thoughts in the Wall Street Journal: www.wsj.com/opinion/tim-...

What a shit show. Everyone could see this plan was written by the Kremlin. Adopted by Witkoff and Trump who demanded Ukraine accept it by this Thursday. After a firestorm of objections by Europe and Republican senators it appears Rubio wants to distance himself from it.

Raskin: "In the very presence of the victims and survivors, the Speaker said that 'now is a time we should be working on urgent legislative work.' Mr Speaker, justice is urgent legislative work. The truth is urgent legislative work. You were the one who refused to swear in Rep. Grijalva for 50 days"

We applaud Virginia Democrats for doing everything they can to help level the playing field and unrig the midterm maps. As Trump and his GOP allies try to grab permanent control of the House, blue states must continue to fight back — we urge Democrats in Illinois and Maryland to take similar action.

Trump has explicitly stated that he is terminating federal employees based on political affiliation. Data is currently being collected, but layoff notices have already gone out to employees at the Departments of Commerce, Education, Energy,

Nothing to see here, just Trump going for his second “yearly” checkup this year. Anyone ready to admit that something is wrong with POTUS yet?

And now for a report from the hellish, war-zone that is Portland

“Never before have we issued a joint public warning like this. But the profound, immediate and unprecedented threat that Kennedy’s policies and positions pose to the nation’s health cannot be ignored.”

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent. Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

This guy is in charge of US health care.

One of the delights of working for the Voice of America in the Cohen Federal Building was the New Deal era frescoes and murals. Along with VOA and its staff, it now appears these treasured American works of art are to be a DOGE casualty. newrepublic.com/article/20120... #SaveVOA

Huh. Things seemed fine under Biden, according to data. Harvest sales were great in 2024. Harvest for Trump’s 2025? Non-existent.

Wow. This really says it all.

We liberals are America!

Dr. Susan Monarez: “I could have stayed silent, agreed to the demands, and no one would have known. What the public would have seen were scientists dismissed without cause and vaccine protections quietly eroded…I would have lost the one thing that cannot be replaced: My integrity.”

We can’t have a repeat of the last government funding fight where Leader Schumer and nine other Senate Democrats rolled over and voted through a partisan GOP spending bill. Every Democrat must fight for a spending bill that protects healthcare AND puts meaningful checks on Trump.

A word to my brethren in the press corps: Please notice that nearly all Democrats condemn violence while very few Republicans condemn violence, and please please please do not make these two unequal facts equal.

⚠️ Trump is putting our Roadless Areas on the chopping block. We can’t let that happen. 📢 The time to take action to protect nearly 45 million acres of roadless National Forest lands is NOW. Call or write your representatives and tell them to keep Roadless Areas as they are – Roadless! #publiclands

Our once-thriving (2024) economy is decimated… … but at least brown-skinned people are being indiscriminately rounded up, pedophiles are being protected, and our loved ones can once again die from preventable diseases—ain’t that right, MAGA? #winning

“Since Mr Trump singled out India with an unexpectedly draconian double dose of tariffs earlier this month, he has reportedly phoned the Indian prime minister on four occasions to seek a compromise. Each time, the Indian leader refused to pick up.” (The Telegraph)

What was that saying about glass houses?

This both heart warming and a deep tragedy
