And it’s all so he could help bankroll more tax cuts for corporations and the super-rich.

Don’t let him forget.

The wealthiest man in the world has fully purchased the federal government of the United States. This is one of the most extraordinary crises in the history of this country and you need to ask whether your elected representatives are acting like it.

This is a coup! U.S. Institute for Peace called the DC police on the Musk team members in an effort to stop them from trespassing because the institute has control of its own building and the land it sits on. But instead, the DC police allowed them to enter and kicked out the institute’s officials.

Hope the 10 Democrats who voted yes are proud of their role in giving acting President Musk a blank check to destroy our constitution—shameful!

A few questions for every Republican lawmaker: how are tariffs making your constituents’ lives better?

How is firing federal workers lowering prices?

How is golfing every weekend making America great?

And in other news, the Trump administration is dropping US cyber defenses against Russia.
It’s almost as if Trump is colluding with Putin.

Say NO to bigotry!!
Trump blaming last night's tragic crash on "DEI" isn't just racist nonsense.

It’s part of his divide and conquer strategy.

He wants to get us so riled up against one another that we don’t look upward and see where all the power and wealth have gone.
Deadly Bigotry

Judge Aileen Cannon was appointed by Donald Trump.

It was Judge Cannon who dismissed Trump's classified documents case.

Now she's trying to block Jack Smith from releasing a final report summarizing findings from his investigations into Trump.

See how the MAGA world works?

The CFPB finalized a rule that would ban medical debt from appearing on credit reports.

The change will help an estimated 15 million people. Accessing medical care, which we know is too costly in America, shouldn't ruin your credit.

This is government working for the people.

Medical debt comprises the largest category of unpaid balances in collections. The CFPB wants to help ensure that doesn't ruin Americans' finances.
