The President is lying about Social Security as an excuse to gut Social Security after promising not to touch it. Why? To pave the way for more tax cuts for the rich.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

It's not necessarily the most important part of today's Oval Office debacle, but Vance suggested that Zelenskyy has never thanked the U.S. for its support — and that's demonstrably ridiculous. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Donald Trump is not fit to be President of the United States of America. His presence in the Oval Office is a stain on the legacy of this country.

This new reporting is a very big deal. The previously reported number for the amount of money Elon Musk has gotten from the government—us—was slightly over $18 billion. We now know the figure is $38 billion. When you consider how much of Musk's wealth is actually liquid—very little—that is a ton.

Why am I NOT surprised to see that House Republicans are pushing ahead with their budget plan to cut TRILLIONS from the budget at the expense of American people? CUT Medicaid, CUT food programs for our seniors and children. They’re just looking out for their billionaire buddies.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is the latest federal agency to be hit with DOGE layoffs. That's the same agency that has investigated crashes involving Tesla's self-driving cars. This was never about "efficiency."

I’m worried this story has been missed amongst all the other horrors. Married women may lose their right to vote if they took their husband’s name. This is yet another reason to fight for trans people-name at birth can be used for other harms. www.newsweek.com/married-wome...

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies. Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE. Funny how that works, huh?

Hey everyone, it’s a Coup. Name it for what it is. We have a duty to disobey orders that violate law. If the courts say don’t do it, that’s a pretty good indication. Most of us are not being asked to violate law, some are (e.g., financial assistance, Civil Rights and EEO laws). #Resist.

Never forget that Trump was the culmination of 40 years of stagnant wages, widening inequality, corruption, dog-whistle politics, and economic gains for the rich. If we fail to address this, we should expect future Trumps as far as the eye can see.

I’ve been in or around politics for over a half-century now. I’ve watched as corporations ransacked our system. In 1952, the corporate share of federal tax revenue was 32%. In 2020, it was down to 7%. Here’s how we break the corporate oligarchy and return power to the people.

Musk is specifically, targeting those government agencies that are investigating him for safety violations and ties to Russia. Reminder: he said he would go to prison if Trump didn't win. The irony of his own information system (Grok) providing a list of those violations, is priceless. ⤵️

This is why they're attacking science and education: if you can only win with disinformation, data become a threat.
Tweet from Scott Jennings, saying "um, yes, that's really a problem," with a quoted image saying "The problem with left-leaning media is they're intrinsically more strict with their propaganda to only using verifiable sources so it's really hard to poke holes in their ideology and arguments in comparison to a lot of low quality right-wing content. That makes attacking their points with fact checkers not very effective unless the fact checkers use misinformation tactics as well. In essence, people on the right have to work harder and more creatively to push their agendas as statistics and studies frustratingly aren't usually on our side."

Let's say there's "waste" and "fraud" in the government. Well that’s why every department had an inspector general to find and stop it. But guess what? Trump fired most of these independent auditors who should be insulated from politics. None of this is about waste and fraud.

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. You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Trump backers keep declaring that he has a powerful “mandate” from voters. In fact, it’s as feeble a mandate as almost any president has had. Only 31.7% of eligible voters voted for Trump. And of those who voted, only 49.7% voted for him. Yes, he won — but by a historically minuscule margin

Alex Lawson: There are proposals from Republican congress members to cut $2.3 trillion from Medicaid. And let me be clear about what that would do: It would destroy Medicaid. It wouldn't do anything to fight inflation. It wouldn't bring anybody's prices down. It would just steal people's health care

Karoline Leavitt’s only qualification is Trump likes how she looks and lies on TV.
Screenshot of a tweet by Brandon Wolf defending Karine Jean-Pierre's qualifications, stating she has two degrees, 21 years of political experience, involvement in five presidential campaigns, work in two administrations, and fluency in three languages. The tweet questions claims that she was selected for 'DEI reasons.' Below it, a tweet from Acyn quotes Alina Habba on Fox News implying that Jean-Pierre was appointed for 'diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) reasons,' contrasting her with Karoline Leavitt. The image includes a Fox News panel featuring Laura Ingraham, Alina Habba, and Karoline Leavitt.
