Trump has halted or dropped enforcement actions against 160+ corporations, including:

-42 consumer protection cases at CFPB
-20 foreign bribery cases at DOJ
-6 employment discrimination cases at EEOC
-7 crypto cases at SEC

It's a new golden age for corporate criminals.

Newsom: He is a failed president. Who else sends ICE at the same time while having a conversation like this? Someone who is weak, broken. His weakness is masquerading as a strength. The most unpopular president in modern history.

Every dictator in history has claimed that they’ll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst.

Every dictator in history has lied.

Donald Trump is no different.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

Holy shit, a whopping 56 percent of Americans DISAPPROVE of trump's abysmal handling of the economy.

Trump’s team is already saying they will not spend funds that Congress has authorized and appropriated. 

There is no point in Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds.

Call your Senator: (202) 224-3121
Senate Democrats must vote against the Republican's continuing budget resolution
It's the only way to hold the Trump regime accountable. Call your senators now.
