The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Trump’s threats will not alter our reporting at all. If anything, it will only force us to be more aggressive and more determined to expose him and his crooked authoritarian regime. www.meidasplus.com/p/trump-thre...

Monday thought:

You wouldn't dismantle the agency that protects consumers for corporate abuse and scams unless you wanted your rich buddies to be able to abuse and scam consumers.

FACT: The law requires 30 days notice.✅

FACT: Trump has only been in office for 6 days.✅

W. POST: Trump's firings "appeared" to violate the law.👀

The “free speech defenders,” ladies and gentlemen.

So this means we can all sue NBC right?

Same way Trump is suing 60 minutes for editing Kamala’s interview? @nbcnews.com

President Trump revoked U.S. Secret Service protection for John Bolton within hours of taking office, stripping his former national security adviser of the security detail he had been granted because of threats on his life from Iran, Bolton said.

15 years of Citizens United have shown us that money corrupts politics. We are going to have to take back our democracy from the forces of greed! #StopTheOligarchy

Trump just pardoned these people.

Don’t ever tell me Republicans “back the blue” again.

In his book, Trump Defense nominee Pete Hegseth said he doesn’t want women in the military

It was a Nazi salute, and he did it with his whole chest. The media should not play along and sanitize this. Again, the salute along with his words matter and add to the context!

“The future of civilization is assured.”

Can someone remind me what it’s called when the government seizes private businesses?

Helpful!
