I don’t know how many times we have to say this, but the U.S. government is not a business and shouldn’t be run like one. It’s a service—for the people.
A lot of government workers go unnoticed—until they’re gone.
The problem with letting the ultra-rich call the shots is they don’t see us. To them, we’re disposable… until the day they need clean water, a working 911 line, or someone to put out the fire.
No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

Historic moment, the brave leadership of the free world gathered as fascist forces worldwide consolidate power, pitting us in a inevitable collision course to determine the future of humanity. To stand with Ukraine is to stand with mankind against the forces of evil. #3E#standwithUkraine
This fanatic is openly talking about fabricating a reason to suspend everyone's constitutional right to due process — and Trump has given him free rein.
Is there NO Republican in D.C. who will stand up to these constitutional arsonists?
Donald Trump’s Pentagon nominees can mumble and backtrack all they want, but their own tweets don’t lie.
Our military’s loyalty is to the Constitution, not to any politician.

Reminder that words matter. You can’t “deport” a US citizen. You might be kidnapping, disappearing, exiling, expelling, illegally removing, etc., but you’re not “deporting” a US citizen.
Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back.
And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.
Wells Fargo has repeatedly ripped off customers, including by opening thousands of fake accounts in customers' names.
The Administration is letting executives responsible off the hook by paying just pennies on the dollar.
President Trump doesn't care if banks rip you off.
The Naval Academy cancelled a freakin' Ken Burns documentary showing, not because of the content, but because Burns had been critical of Trump

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."
Trump fabricates a photo of Mr. Garcia with MS-13 tattoo on his hand. This is NOT a real image. Trump and his regime fabricated it. Please understand that Trump regime would fabricate evidence to put you or your family in jail. This is what FASCISM regimes do. www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-...

According to the Yale Budget Lab, 70% of the benefits from the Republican budget would go to the richest 5%. Meanwhile, the bottom 40% gets stuck with the bill.

Trump wants to be the de facto dean of every university. Deciding what the teach, who they hire, and who gets accepted. Good on Harvard for drawing a line to stand up for the law, their brand, and academics. Respect is earned, and they earned mine.
On the one hand, Trump is trying to abolish the Depart of Education
On the other, he wants to micromanage a private University telling Harvard who it can hire & admit, what it can teach, and more
He wants Harvard to eliminate DEI; yet, give preference to those with MAGA ideology

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.
Trump says CBS should "lose their license" or at least be hit with "the maximum fines and punishment" for airing "60 Minutes" segments that included criticism of him, the latest example of seeking to use government power to crack down on independent media. thehill.com/media/524748...
