On Tuesday night, co-presidents Trump and Musk fired half of the workers at the Education Department.

On Wednesday, FAFSA - the financial aid application for millions of kids who want to go to college - went down.

That’s their idea of efficiency.

Elon Musk claims "the leftists" are bad-mouthing his company. This isn't true. It's ordinary car buyers who are fed the fuck up.

RFK Jr. said he'd "clean up corruption" as HHS Secretary.

So why'd he have dinner with Big Pharma executives at Mar-a-Lago with Trump?

The American people deserve to know what kind of deals might have been made at those "million-dollar" dinners.

While the bird flu gets worse and egg prices skyrocket, Trump’s team fired employees who were working on the bird flu response.

Now, they’re frantically trying to reverse course.

This is the opposite of efficiency.

The CFPB has returned over $21 billion directly to Americans scammed by Wall Street.

If you have been personally helped by the CFPB - if you've filed a complaint, got money returned to you, or benefitted from their work, I need to hear from you.
