Trump wrongly indicted me. I’ll rightly impeach him.

Impeachment isn’t just an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent — but is it working?

A top Republican in Indiana, whose daughter has Down Syndrome, just announced he will be voting to block Trump’s gerrymandering after Trump used the R-word to insult people yesterday.

In other words, you can be sure:

IF 900-page Project 2025 mentions a law, govt agency or protective measure,

THEN the Christian White Nationalist overhaul either fully eliminates that law/agency/measure or redefines it to the point of being unrecognizable.

This is what White America chose for us.
As foremost Project 2025 expert, I can confidently confirm: the Christian White Nationalist overhaul permanently dissolves and rewrites all law and govt mentioned.
The recent recategorization of “mandated reporters” of child abuse from what’s left of the Department of Education, is a recent example.

Over a quarter of Trump's proposed $1T military budget would go to just four companies who have spent $103B in taxpayer dollars on stock buybacks and dividends over the last decade.

He wants to use your money to make the military-industrial complex even richer.

Speaker Mike Johnson has reportedly told the White House that most Republicans aren't interested in extending ACA subsidies.

Reminder that 57% of ACA Marketplace enrollees live in congressional districts represented by a Republican.

They're selling out their own voters.

Trump and his Administration are targeting me because I said something they didn’t like — but here’s the thing: I won’t be intimidated into silence. I’ve overcome challenges a lot tougher than Donald Trump or Pete Hegseth.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed.

Getting big money out of politics.

Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages.

Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare...

This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

The EPA will approve two new pesticides containing “forever chemicals” and relax a reporting rule for companies who make products with forever chemicals.

The moves come after a $60 million lobbying blitz from the forever chemical industry.

Where is the MAHA outcry?

Demagoguing, exaggerating, and misrepresenting a problem is a lot easier than trying to fix it—especially if you don’t really want to fix it at all.

ICE, FBI, LAPD and local law enforcement have been terrorizing my fellow Angelenos—stalking, kidnapped in broad daylight—since the chaotic raids, months back.

Working to free/reunite these folks has been my life’s most frustrating work:

Sadly, it’s easier to find examples of media organizations capitulating to Trump than standing up to him. The press should not make itself complicit in its own denigration at the hands of Trump.

Former nursing home executive and convicted fraudster Joseph Schwartz was pardoned by Trump earlier this month.

Schwartz secured the pardon after paying two other convicted fraudsters nearly $1M to lobby Trump on his behalf.

The vicious cycle of monopolization:

1) Corporations argue that their growth is just part of the free market.
2) Use their monopoly power to gouge consumers.
3) Take a portion of their profits to make political donations.
4) Lobby against antitrust enforcement.
5) Repeat.
