It’s not even been a month since Elon Musk’s inauguration.

Sorry, it’s not even been a month since Trump’s inauguration — but it’s easy to forget with Musk getting access to everything he wants.

The top health care companies in America spent 95% of their profits to make their CEOs & stockholders obscenely rich.

How many Americans would be alive today if those companies spent $2.6 trillion on disease prevention and primary care, instead of stock buybacks and dividends?

Google Maps has officially changed the name of the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America" after Trump's executive order. And a new Republican bill would let Trump rename Greenland "Red, White and Blueland." Still no word on lowering the cost of groceries, however.

The next DOGE target could be the FDIC, which was already experiencing a staffing shortage before Trump's hiring freeze.

Remember: the FDIC was created during the Depression to protect people's deposit accounts.

Gutting it could lead to another financial meltdown.

We sued President Trump over his administration’s anti-transgender executive orders.

And we’re just getting started.

Trump just fired USAID inspector general Paul Martin—one day after he exposed how Trump’s foreign aid freeze & mass firings have made it easier for U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund terrorist groups like Hamas & ISIS.

NEW: A court is allowing our lawsuit challenging the federal government's supervision system in Washington, DC to continue as a class action.

This means we will be litigating on behalf of all people with disabilities in DC who have been ignored by this system.

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe.

She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today.

RIP Elisa.

I don't know what to say about a Manhattan Institute fellow coming out as trans. So many things could be said.

I won't be mean to her - glad she found herself. But it should go without saying that an org dedicated to ending all legal recognition of us should not be the place you work everyday.
Quick update: my name has changed from Brian Riedl to Jessica Riedl. Fear not, my focus on rapid-response (center-right) economic policy and cool budget charts won’t change.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

“So what do we do to stop Trump?” is a question I get dozens of times per day. I answer in detail here.

The worst thing we can do is give up. Autocrats want capitulation through exhaustion and compliance through fear. Do not comply.

Here’s how to take action:

The president can veto or support legislation. He can make recommendations to Congress. But he doesn't have the unilateral right to change laws.

Trump has very little respect for the rule of law & our Constitution. He is moving us toward authoritarianism.

We must stop him.
