DOGE signed an agreement with Louis DeJoy to slash 10,000 jobs from the already-understaffed USPS.
The USPS is the nation’s lifeline, ensuring delivery to every corner of the country.
We cannot allow it to be dismantled, sold off, and handed over to billionaires for profit.

The richest man in the world took over $5K out of this guy's bank account, claiming he was dead. The richest man in the world said he was saving money.
He was not dead.
He was not dead.
I found a ‘dead’ person collecting Social Security in Seattle
“Dead” Ned Johnson turns out to be very much alive. It took him weeks to convince the system he was breathing and to start clawing his benefits back.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

On Tuesday, Trump fired him.

Trump just suspended enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, a key anti-bribery law signed by Carter in 1977. For 50 years, it stopped corporations from bribing foreign officials. Now, Trump is letting corruption run wild.

Donald Trump is weak. There is no mandate. He doesn't have good, popular ideas. The American people actually don't want what he's doing.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.
You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?
Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.
