It's really this simple, folks.
If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

Excellent description of today’s MAGA-Republican Party.

They’re not capable of empathy or compassion. It’s all about the cruelty with them.

They give themselves tax breaks while simultaneously cutting key benefits for the American people.

It’s shameful and it needs to end.

Not a single Republican senator stood against Gabbard -- ignoring the law requiring the director of national intelligence to have deep national-security experience. She has none. She represents the disastrous rise of misplaced power, and a danger to the United States. www.axios.com/2025/02/10/t...

Trump hopes Americans don’t realize what the CFPB does.

So I wrote this piece on why CFPB exists, the billions it has saved us, & why dismantling it devastates working people. This is class warfare & we cannot afford to lose.

Christian nationalism isn’t a Black problem.
It isn’t a Muslin problem.
It’s not an Atheist problem,

White Christian nationalism is a white-Christians-living-in-America-who-care-about-the-teachings-of-Jesus, problem.
