Federal agencies that hold corporations accountable have almost gone dark. The SEC, EPA, FTC, and DOJ have drastically slowed enforcement since January. No oversight means corporations can exploit workers & consumers with impunity. This is what happens when watchdogs are gutted.

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.

We're in the midst of a constitutional crisis.
The world's richest man is effectively orchestrating a coup.
At the very least, Senate Dems should not be confirming any of Trump’s nominees for any agency while this power grab continues.
Nothing should be "business as usual."

🚨 A president can’t just decide to freeze federal funds that Congress has already appropriated. That’s not how democracy works. Trump’s move to halt funding isn’t just reckless—it’s an attack on the rule of law, checks & balances, and the critical programs Americans rely on.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
