250 years ago, the American people made it clear that they weren’t going to be ruled by kings.

On June 14, we’re taking to the streets in a nationwide day of defiance to reject authoritarianism and show the world what democracy really looks like.
No Kings
On June 14—Flag Day—Donald Trump wants tanks in the street and a made-for-TV display of dominance for his birthday. A spectacle meant to look like strength. But real power isn’t staged in Washington. ...

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.

I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

Medicaid covers...

-40% of births nationwide
-50% of kids with special needs
-72 million people in total

Remember this as Republicans move to gut the program to finance tax cuts that will overwhelmingly go to the richest 1% of Americans.

As a result of staff and budget cuts under Trump, the FDA is also suspending its Food Emergency Response Network — a key food safety program that tests for pathogens and contaminants in order to prevent food-borne illness.

Tell me how this will "make America healthy again"?

One of the greatest ongoing scandals of today is that our elected officials — Democrats included — continue to refuse to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year.

This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year.

See what DOGE is really about?

100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion in the 2024 election.

70% of these donations went to Republicans.

Now, Republicans in Congress are gearing up to slash essential programs to pay for another round of tax cuts for the rich.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Observers are condemning Republicans’ plans to skirt the Senate parliamentarian and use a gimmick to make an extension Trump’s 2017 tax cuts look “free” — even the cost of extending those cuts would be $4 trillion over 10 years, and the Senate proposal includes a total of $5.3 trillion in tax cuts.

None of this changes until Democrats get corporate money out of the party.

Senator Schumer can be replaced, but if it’s by someone who works for the same corporate donors, the outcome will be the same.

Holy crap. The DOJ is arguing that the President can unilaterally deport anyone he wants without ANY statutory authority, just on his inherent authority as President over national security.

That is a terrifying claim to make and not one that has ever been recognized before in US history.

What’s to stop the Trump regime from arresting American citizens who support any cause the regime doesn’t like?

Where, may I ask, are the “First Amendment absolutists” these days?

Where are all the Republicans who for years have accused liberals of “cancelling” their views?

NOAA is reportedly on the DOGE chopping block.

The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.

A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

Again, this isn't about efficiency.

BELIEVE IN TRUTH

To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power, because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights.
The Department of Government Efficiency isn't interested in efficiency. Or transparency, or cutting costs. It's real goal is to destroy the federal civil service. In other words, regime change. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
