Good morning.

Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors.

It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.

They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

There are 100k local elections in 2025 and more in 2026 leading up to November - each one is a chance to show the GOP there are political consequences to their behavior & to build the momentum for a landslide. Gear up.

Elon Musk gets more than $20 billion in contracts from the US government and bought his way into a new role in the government where he can direct even more money to himself. Enough!

My new bill, the ELON MUSK Act, will end this grift!

Irony is dead in this moment along with common sense. Trump who squawked “but her emails” incessantly, let Musk (unelected/not a govt employee) send his crew of kids in to review classified information & plug devices of unknown origin into the government computer system, compromising everything.

This language describes a coup. You have to be a government employee, subject to the rules & procedures that bind gov employees, to do this kind of work. This is a blatant abuse of the public trust by the Trump administration, a true 5-alarm fire. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

Does anyone have any links to up-to-date resources for public school teachers/staff preparing for the possibility of ICE raids? Most of what I’ve found predates the reversal of the sensitive locations policy. Thanks!

In the last few weeks I've spent time with border humanitarian aid groups and migration policy experts who say they are bracing for more incidents like this, as desperate people have less legal avenues.

HHS has routinely imposed the "death penalty" on small businesses, barring them from participating in Medicare.

But it has never barred a national Medicare supplier -- even when that company has repeatedly committed fraud.
