These are frightening times. Your courage and tenacity are desperately needed. They will be needed for the rest of this year and next, and the years thereafter. Which is why you must also take care of yourself. robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-tho...

The world's richest man is taking a sledgehammer to Social Security, Medicaid, and other vital programs that millions rely on.

He’s doing it so the president can cut taxes for the richest people and the biggest corporations in America.

Kudos to Senator Cory Booker for sounding the alarm.
I’m heading to the Senate floor because Donald Trump and Elon Musk have shown a complete disregard for the rule of law, the Constitution, and the needs of the American people. You can tune in on CSPAN, YouTube, X, and Facebook.

America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence.

Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.

Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside Tesla dealerships and showrooms across the United States on March 29, protesting against CEO Elon Musk’s role with Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and demanded he leave his ‘unelected’ role in the Trump administration.

Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago.

Where have most of the gains gone? To the top.

Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity.

This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.

In an interview with NBC News, Trump refused to rule out military force to acquire Greenland. His remarks come a day after Vice President JD Vance's scaled back visit to the island.

Donald Trump picked Wall Street executive Frank Bisignano to manage Social Security.

I will question him today in the Senate.

Will he stand up to Elon Musk and protect Social Security benefits or scam seniors out of their retirement?

The White House reportedly wants to recruit corporate sponsors for its annual Easter Egg Roll.

The financial backers could spend as much as $200,000 on a "sponsorship" and gain exclusive access to the Oval Office.

Is there anything that's not for sale under Trump?
