All of this, in violation of the Constitution.

Donald Trump is way less popular than he wants you to believe.

And you are significantly more powerful than he wants you to think.

Right now there's a clear and obvious relationship between social media and anti-social behavior, and we cannot go on like this.

What happens next is up to all of us - leaders and ordinary citizens alike.

In responding to this horrific violence, the most important categories aren't left and right, they are about helping versus hurting.

We should heed and amplify the voices who are helping.

And let's take a moment to remember how much was done during the Biden administration before Trump undoes it all.

Tonight, Pete did this interview about the Trump administration rolling back consumer protections.

(And you can tell Pete is really at the airport, because you can hear a baby crying in the background. But he never misses a beat. He's the best. 😎)

Trump Family Amasses $5 Billion Fortune After Crypto Launch The WLFI token traded far above its previous value, confirmingβ€”at least on paperβ€”a huge windfall for the president and his sons.

This level of corruption is not normal or acceptable. Even if we are exhausted by each report of it going further and further, we can never grow numb to it.

I talked with a doctor in rural Wisconsin about what she wished elected officials in Washington understood about the health care system.

Her answer is important for every American to hear:

The Trump administration has taken its anti-diversity agenda to such extremes that it's killing good infrastructure projects - including roadway safety improvements that I worked on with congressional Republicans - just because they went to disadvantaged areas.

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons.

Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

These various initiatives and policy changes are often regarded as discrete problems, but they comprise a unified assault. The Trump administration has launched a comprehensive attack on knowledge itself, a war against culture, history, and science. If this assault is successful, it will undermine Americans’ ability to comprehend the world around us. Like the inquisitors of old, who persecuted Galileo for daring to notice that the sun did not, in fact, revolve around the Earth, they believe that truth-seeking imperils their hold on power.

The Trump administration is engaging on an all-out assault on the institutions, workers and standards that make learning and knowledge production possible, in the hopes of securing political dominance forever. (Gift link) www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Hundreds of rural hospitals are at risk of closing, threatening critical care Hospital officials told CBS News the closure was driven by the same factors that have closed other rural hospitals: low reimbursement rates.

We should be investing in rural communities and making them better places to build a life & raise a family - not shutting down rural hospitals by choking off their funding.

Saving rural hospitals is one more reason to call your Representative and speak out against this GOP attempt to cut Medicaid.

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises.

But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up.

It's up to us to demand something better.

The Constitution explicitly grants states the authority to set the time, place, and manner of their own elections.

No President has the power to rewrite state election laws by decree, nor to change the laws passed by Congress for federal elections.

If you think this can’t happen, remember that of the 125,000 Japanese Americans who were interned during WWII for years without charge or trial, two-thirds were U.S. citizens. Including me.

It's unfortunate that this needs to be said, but to stay alive, listen to scientific consensus (on health, climate, environment, etc.) and ignore the conspiracy theorists.
