Reporter: Don’t you need to uphold the Constitution of the United States as President?

Trump: I don’t know

This is deeply disturbing. Please spread the word on this.

Despite promises of cuts from Trump and Elon, the U.S. spent about $220 billion more in the first 100 days than it did last year. We’re spending far more and getting far less. So where is all the money going?

Republicans will tell you behind closed doors they are afraid. Afraid of their families being targeted, of Trump or Elon tweeting about them. They're keeping their heads down so no one will notice.

Well here's the deal: this isn't going away. It's not going to just fade away.

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession.

Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months.

Gotta be some kind of record.

Well, I’m shocked. The Endangered Species Act is under attack (again).

By redefining the meaning of “harm” to remove protections for habitat, the path to recovery for listed species is grim.

It would be like burning down your house and expecting you to thrive.

We are living The Lorax.

Sorry for the late-night update. Musk’s staffers are reaching out to leaders of nonprofit organizations, demanding to assign DOGE team members to any institute or agency receiving federal funds.

Reminder: this is the same plan Russian operatives offered to Paul Manafort in exchange for their help getting Trump elected in 2016. (See Manafort’s testimony in the Senate Intelligence Committee’s report.)

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Fun fact:

If you take the total wealth of the top 1% of Americans (U.S.) and divide it evenly amongst the total population of the U.S., everyone would get about $145,000.

It's Monday, a new week and another chance to build power in our movement to stop Trump's authoritarian takeover.

This is a moment that requires courage, curiosity, and generosity. Not perfection. Pick an issue that lights you up the most and go with it. Bring people in.

Putin can’t believe his luck. Here is Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov on Trump: “The new administration is fast changing all foreign policy configurations…This coincides with our vision in many ways.”

Trump now backs dictatorship, not democracy. We cannot allow that to stand.

If Republicans make massive cuts to Medicaid, it will impact all aspects of our health care system. Millions of kids will lose coverage, hospital and insurance rates will soar and nursing homes will shut down.

All this in order to give huge tax breaks to billionaires. 

NO CUTS TO MEDICAID.

This is an amazing statistic.
“Every $1300 New York invested in building bike-lanes in 2015 provided benefits equivalent to 1 additional year of life at full health over the lifetime of all city residents, according to a new economic assessment.”

Among many other benefits, bike-lanes are a really smart public health investment.

The resistance will bring down Musk and Trump. Congress, wake up before your power is gone. The GOP begging Trump to release money to their states is pathetic—stand up to this tyranny. Congress controls the purse strings.

Despite President Trump’s claims, there is no energy emergency in America. Our energy production is at an all-time high and our electricity grid is resilient. In fact, the biggest risk factor is extreme weather due to climate change, something Trump’s emergency declaration threatens to accelerate.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.
