I will not stop raising the alarm on what's happening to Social Security. Republicans are blowing up the national debt to shower billionaires with tax cuts, but they’re telling everyone else we need to fire Social Security staff and shutter offices.

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings. It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest. It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

It's only the end of democracy if it comes from the Supreme Court. Otherwise it's just sparkling despotism.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent $18 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as he slashes the federal workforce, guts funding for vital programs, and tees up major cuts to Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the rich. Hello?

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?

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.” It’s who our government is for. Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?

The threat of the bird flu is GROWING because the federal workers tracking and responding to the disease were fired by a smugly uninformed billionaire. YOUR health is at risk and egg prices will keep skyrocketing because Elon and Trump have ZERO clue who they are firing.

No wonder principled Republicans are leaving President Trump over his absurd posturing with Putin. The United States must stand with Ukraine, Europe, and our allies.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Elon Musk—an unelected billionaire with a long list of conflicts of interest and deep ties to China—is hijacking our nation's checkbook so he can block funds that help the American people. It's corrupt—and it's putting our economy & the most at-risk communities in jeopardy.

In addition to having no real qualifications and many alarming positions, Pete Hegseth also has so many red flags that raise serious concerns about his character and conduct—and that make him unfit to lead our nation's military.

President Trump's inaugural address was a misleading assessment of the U.S. It has a growing economy, falling inflation, slowing illegal immigration, a record-breaking stock market, the lowest levels of violent crime in years and a military that has limited engagement in conflicts around the world.
