The Justice Department is compiling the largest set of national voter roll data it has ever collected. They claim their goal is to prove that “troves of undocumented immigrants have voted illegally.” That’s not the real objective.

Republicans in Congress don't want you to know this.
Behind closed doors, top Republican officials are greasing the wheels for tax breaks for billionaires and billionaire corporations by pushing a lie that they cost nothing.
It's magic math — and we gotta call it out.

No, Trump voters and I don't just disagree now.
They’re simply wrong.
I believe they are deeply, profoundly, and egregiously wrong; the kind of wrong about the kinds of things that I can no longer excuse or make peace with or overlook.

We Don't Need to Agree to Disagree With Trump Supporters. They're Just Wrong.
I often find myself in a now-familiar spot with Trump supporters I know: hopelessly stuck in an unnavigable impasse on our respective paths, unable to find a way forward.

The genius of our young people is our nation’s most precious resource. Eliminating the Department of Education is unconscionable to those of us who believe in the future of America.
We are robbing young people and educators of resources that have built the most successful country on earth.

🚨 UPDATE: After humiliating the U.S. on the world stage, Trump just jetted off to Florida—to golf.
He’s now spent 35% of his presidency on vacation, burning through $20M+ in taxpayer dollars. The laziest "president" in U.S. history.

Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

Paul Martin, the inspector general for the USAID, has been fired after resisting the administration. Just a day ago, his office released a report warning that staff reductions and spending freezes put hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars at risk of misuse and waste. This is the way.
