Never forget that Trump was the culmination of 40 years of stagnant wages, widening inequality, corruption, dog-whistle politics, and economic gains for the rich.

The Big Picture: How We Got Into This Mess, And How We Get Out of It | Robert Reich
I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system. In 1952, the corporate share of federal tax revenue was 32%. In 2020, it was down to 7%. Here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Project 2025 was unpopular because of things like the plan for Trump to shut down the CFPB, which helps you get your money back if a bank cheats you.

The federal government promised it would reimburse farmers for millions in infrastructure investments, but Trump's funding freeze just left farmers on the hook.
And if Trump's tariffs go through, farmers will be in even more dire straits.

If they ignore court orders, the social contract is dead and buried, the constitution is no longer in effect.

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.”
It’s who our government is for.
Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?

I'm a little surprised more govt employees aren't just saying "no" more often. The question fed HR seems unable to answer right now is how they plan on enforcing disciplinary action that supersedes the employee-supervisor hierarchy. Like, the people you don't work for can't just fire you.

The sickening way McBride is treated in congress never ends.
At some point, you have to just stop taking it. I don't know where that point is for McBride, I know where it was for my own wife, you have to hit back.
At least in this case, a fellow Dem did afterwards and said "Mr. Speaker" in return.
