DOGE has reportedly gained access to sensitive NLRB data — including info on union activity, workplace complaints, and names of organizers.
Coincidentally, the NLRB has multiple lawsuits against SpaceX and Tesla.
The conflicts of interest just keep getting more blatant.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

The Supreme Court has unanimously ruled the Trump regime must facilitate the return of a Maryland man wrongly deported to El Salvador.
How lawless do your actions have to be for even Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito to rule against them?

What if we could organize targeted boycotts (Tesla without violence), such as getting people to close meta accounts. I realize this could be a tough sell, but it could be effective because we do vote with our dollars, and dollars are buying votes.

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries.
They're eventually paid by us at the check out line.
And they're regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

You can watch interviews of a half-dozen Trump Admin officials get asked the same question about a policy & get 6 different answers. And it seems like the reason is some of them don’t know the policy, some say what they want it to be, & the others only knew what it was yesterday.

When Trump imposed tariffs during his first term, companies who contributed to Republicans were more likely to be granted tariff exemptions.
Trump's corporate donors won't shoulder the cost of his trade wars — working class Americans will.
It's crony capitalism at its worst.
