Be highly skeptical of online claims that the individual who attacked Democrats was one himself. A quick look at his online activity, his comments, the accounts he followed, suggests otherwise.

We’ve truly lost our way in this country.

An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

Trickle-down in one graph: golden shower. All rot leads to Reagan.
A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

Republicans couldn't pass their own "big, beautiful bill" out of the House Budget Committee.

Why? Because it doesn't cut spending enough.

The cruel and devastating cuts to programs that millions of people rely on apparently need to be even MORE cruel and devastating.

The Social Security Administration (per DOGE) instituted anti-fraud checks for benefit claims made over the phone.

Only two out of over 110,000 claims had a high probability of fraud — a rate of .0018%

But it slowed retirement claim processing by 25%.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

Trump is already facing pushback from Congress on his budget proposal and now he’s planning to override them entirely.

His new budget would slash nearly every federal program by a total of $163 billion while leaving defense spending untouched.

Sometimes Trump comes up with things so extra monumentally stupid even I’m at a loss for words. He wants to take away Veterans Day. He thinks WWII ended on May 8th. This is all so ridiculous. At what point do Republicans admit Trump is insane?

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Despite promises of cuts from Trump and Elon, the U.S. spent about $220 billion more in the first 100 days than it did last year. We’re spending far more and getting far less. So where is all the money going?

The so-called “moderate” GOP position on Medicaid cuts is no cuts above $500 billion.

Hello? That would mean 18 million children and 2 million adults with disabilities lose health care coverage, according to the latest estimates.

What’s “moderate” about that?

Musk once promised taxpayers massive savings and even teased the idea of a “DOGE dividend” check in their mailboxes when his DOGE was unleashed on the federal government. Now, he admits DOGE is likely to save only $150 billion.

So the Republican Party has historically blocked:

-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health

And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

Do not let Trump gaslight you into believing he has a mandate or is all powerful.

Most Americans don't support his cruel agenda.

His approval ratings are in the gutter.

Individuals and institutions are fighting back in courts and winning.

Keep up the fight.

We’ve talked about this before, but we wanted to expand on it a little more. Late last week, Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) effectively took control of the Department of the Interior without a single Senate confirmation, public hearing, or vote.
