Soon after firing the Librarian of Congress, Trump has fired the nation’s top copyright official as well. Rep. Joe Morelle says Trump acted after the copyright official “refused to rubber-stamp Elon Musk’s efforts to mine troves of copyrighted works to train AI models.”

The particular type of evil that Bernie was talking about is effectively a cornerstone of fascism.
Fascism is extremely effective. There's a reason why Germany changed a fuck load of laws to 'Denazify' their nation after WW2.

The Trump admin cut election security funds. Now officials fear future elections may be ‘less secure.’
Election officials and lawmakers are increasingly alarmed by sudden halts to federal election security funding and are left struggling to fill gaps.

The GOP passed a budget resolution tonight that will gut Medicaid, SNAP, and other vital programs — as 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Why? To finance more tax cuts for the top 1%.
We have socialism in this country for the rich, harsh capitalism for everyone else.

Ever since the disastrous Citizens United ruling, outside spending on federal elections has skyrocketed.
Big money corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top.

Trump's treasury nominee Scott Bessent, who is worth ~$500 million, warned of "economic calamity" if Trump's tax cuts for the rich are not extended.
But when asked if we should raise the federal minimum wage above the current paltry $7.25/hr, he said no.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to Social Security and Medicare.
4) Repeat.
Don't let them get away with it.
