The Senate version doesn’t just make silencers easier to acquire—it also deregulates other deadly weapons like short-barreled rifles and shotguns. These firearms have been controlled under the National Firearms Act since 1934 for a reason: They pack more firepower than handguns and are easy to hide.

Lewelyn Dixon has been a LEGAL US resident for **50 YEARS**

She works as a lab tech and union member at the University of Washington.

ICE abducted her at the Seattle airport and is ILLEGALLY detaining her.

We won't stand for ICE disappearing our neighbors and fellow union members! #4The1st

Trump is reportedly looking to shrink the FDIC and consolidate it into other govt agencies.

The FDIC was created during the Depression to protect bank deposits.

This would come after Trump and DOGE shuttered the CFPB, which protects us from financial fraud.

See the pattern?

Tax loopholes for the rich.

A bloated military budget.

Lucrative contracts and subsidies to private corporations.

These are all huge sources of federal waste and fraud, but don't expect Elon Musk and DOGE to take aim at any of them.

The U.S. Department of Labor is organizing a protest. Elon Musk’s staff will be present at the Frances Perkins Building in Washington, D.C., today at 4 p.m. It was mentioned that staff should plan to stay late after the 4 p.m. meeting to assist with setting up Elon Musk staffers into their systems.

With the terrible tragedy over the skies of D.C., it’s time to prioritize safety. Trump must end the hiring freeze on air traffic controllers and restore the aviation safety advisory committee he dismantled on Jan 22.

In the name of fighting "DEI," Trump's spending freeze brought us to the brink of disaster yesterday.

He's tapping into culture wars while his billionaire buddies loot the government and gut programs that help millions.

His "war on woke" is a war on the American people.
Clearly illegal
This isn’t about cutting the size of government. It’s about further concentrating power in Trump’s hands.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience.

Egg prices hit record highs this week.

Much of the increase is the result of egg shortages brought on by avian flu.

How has Trump responded? By ordering public health agencies to cease communications with the public.

His presidency is a threat to our health and our wallets.

Amazon workers in Quebec unionized last year.

This week, Amazon closed its warehouse operations in Quebec.

Amazon denied the closures were related to unionization, but it has a track record of crushing unions in America.

Union busting is disgusting — and a global problem.

Unions had gained a foothold in one of the company’s warehouses in the province, though Amazon would not say if there was a connection.
