"The dollar is also falling, meaning that foreign investors are getting out of America. They are leaving the stock market, selling treasuries, and even getting rid of their dollars.

Why?

Because they no longer think America is a safe economic environment."

Trump Finally Met an Adversary Totally Immune to His Bullshit
And it’s not the Supreme Court.

It’s real now
As predicted, women in New Hampshire had a hard time voting yesterday because of the new proof of citizenship law:

“It doesn’t have my married name on it,” she said. Town voting officials then sent her away a second time, to get her marriage certificate.

NH’s new ID requirements send some would-be voters home to grab passports, birth certificates
The law requires all new voters to show proof of their U.S. citizenship. For some, that meant making multiple trips to and from the polls before finally casting a ballot on Tuesday.

Don’t stop now
When I talk to folks who don't keep up with every news story, and I explain what Republicans are trying to do to block married women from voting, they think I've lost it. I sound like I need a tinfoil hat and that's exactly what they want.

Just like Russian collusion, if we drop it, they win.

Cuts to veterans’ services is despicable
The VA cuts harm veterans seeking care and the employees who serve them. In FL-1, veterans have spoken: wait times are too long and continuity of care is nonexistent.

This administration isn’t listening and is failing the very people it should support.

Here’s a heads up
Because of Elon Musk and his team’s actions, more people are at risk of getting cheated by their banks, more seniors are at risk of losing Social Security, and more veterans are at risk of losing access to their benefits.

Agreed
Just a friendly reminder — Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House.   
  
If there is a government shutdown, it will be because Republicans failed to govern responsibly.

RFK is an embarrassment to his family and a danger to you and me
RFK Jr. said he'd "clean up corruption" as HHS Secretary.

So why'd he have dinner with Big Pharma executives at Mar-a-Lago with Trump?

The American people deserve to know what kind of deals might have been made at those "million-dollar" dinners.
Senators Say Kennedy Must Disclose Details on Drugmaker Meetings
Three senators are calling on Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to disclose what he and President Donald Trump discussed with drugmakers during closed-door conversations.

Emphasis on the word”death”
one of the things i truly believe is that a significant portion of this country is in the grip of a death cult

And no matter how you’ve chosen to justify your allegiance to him, ultimately you made your decision, and quite frankly, I have lost the respect for and the affinity I had with you.

There is a divide between us now that will never be completely removed.

We should compare Social Security, which has never missed a payment since its inception, to Tesla's stock price.

Did anyone buy their original denial
There were howls of protest and denial from the GOP any time we pointed out that Republicans want to cut Social Security.

Now the most powerful official in the White House goes on TV and calls it "the big one to eliminate."
Elon Musk says he wants to “eliminate” programs like Social Security and Medicare: “Entitlements... That’s the big one to eliminate”

Federal Marshals doing the 🍊🫏 shit work
Federal marshals forced entry into the US African Development Foundation and escorted Musk staffers inside, after agency employees resisted their entry. Once inside, they changed the federal agency’s locks. Musk staffers were seen plugging in an external hard drive and going through everything.

Another vile move
Trump plans to sign an executive order barring certain student loan borrowers from eligibility for Public Service Loan Forgiveness. This popular federal program forgives a portion of student debt for individuals who work in government or qualifying nonprofit jobs for ten years.

And you thought history didn’t repeat itself!
From thuggish tactics used to maintain control, to crony appointments undermining the rule of law, Trump’s brand of politics mirrors the worst of fascism. As we watch, it’s clear: We can’t ignore these parallels to past dictatorships.

Are you a lawyer?
Many of you have asked what you can do to help fight the country's dramatic slide into fascism. If you are in house counsel, here is one important thing: send all your work to Covington, Perkins Coie, and other firms willing to resist Trump and that have been made targets for that reason.

Raise your hand if you are surprised
The United States has a shortage of more than 7 million affordable rental homes for low-income people. The country is also experiencing record homelessness.

DOGE’s cuts to HUD are now set to exacerbate these dueling crises. Read @juliannemcshane.bsky.social's report:
DOGE’s cuts to HUD will only make the housing crisis worse
But resistance is building.
