We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited. It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

We're in a housing crisis — and Donald Trump is making it worse by slashing housing programs and driving up costs with his reckless tariffs. I’ve got a plan to build more homes, bring down rent, and cut unnecessary red tape because everyone deserves a place to call home. youtube.com/shorts/-6QSl...

Every single senator who voted to confirm Hegseth is equally responsible and owns this. Your confirmation served as a stamp of approval and your judgment shouldn't be trusted. This goes for every failure of any official confirmed by the Senate.

Today marks the 250th anniversary of the battles of Lexington and Concord, which began the American Revolution. Our nation was founded on resistance to arbitrary authority and monarchical power. We built a democracy in the face of impossible odds. We must continue to protect it.

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.

The CFPB is the financial watchdog for the American people. The agency has returned $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011. Trump fired its director and put his treasury secretary, a Wall Street hedge fund manager, in charge. Guess what happened next...

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.
A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights — ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."

Firing thousands of federal employees opens up the opportunity to create a workforce where the only criterion for being hired is your loyalty to Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It's not about efficiency.

Musk just got access to the entire payout database without proper security clearance. That includes SS numbers and includes Social Security files, his competitors, and the endless list of who the govt pays. He says he is looking for corrupt payments. I'd say he's looking for blackmail data.

Thats the point. If Unions become a solution for non-union, healthcare for small/medium businesses, the profile of Unions change immediately and the quality of care options go up immediately for those non union workers Won’t be easy. Wouldn’t happen fast. But it would be game changing
