Maybe putting elections up for sale was not a good way to prevent greed and corruption in government.
The Road from ‘Citizens United’ to Trump, Musk, and Corruption
A ‘naïve’ Supreme Court delivered lawless greed and cruelty. We’ll have to save ourselves, if we can.

Trump is bulldozing the Education Department, which helps homeless and disabled kids gain access to school, while he does a car commercial at the White House for the richest man in the world.
Robber barons are waging class warfare on the rest of us.

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Not a bad idea -- if House Republicans refuse to hold town halls in their congressional districts, local Democrats should set one of their own up.
Every Democrat who lost in a district in 2024 should hold a town hall if those Republicans won't.

@maddow.msnbc.com Rachel, loving the coverage on countrywide protests. Be sure to cover smaller states, cities when you can. We are protesting here in Lincoln, NE, too. Seeing so many take to the streets and voice their protests, is amazing.

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it.
Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice.
But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word.
They aren’t firing for a reason.

When your MAGA uncle wonders why Trump is threatening tariffs and raising the prices of everything, after he repeatedly promised to do the opposite, look him straight in the eye and gently whisper:
"It was never about you...and now he doesn't need you anymore"

"It turns out that Trump Derangement Syndrome was actually Trump Discernment Syndrome. We saw Trump clearly. And so here we are with these ghastly nominations." Now it's time to stop them.

Visa & Mastercard control the credit card market. THEY set swipe fee rates, costing retailers & consumers billions annually. The Senate Judiciary Comm is holding a hearing today on the solution: The Credit Card Competition Act (CCCA). Call each Senator on Judiciary and tell them to support the CCCA.
