The year after Trump’s last tax giveaway, Amazon paid $0 in federal income taxes, while the typical Boston public school teacher paid about $10,000.

I asked Senate Republicans: Can we agree that no billionaire corporation should get another tax handout?

Republicans voted no.

The reason I have been unwaveringly NeverTrump from the beginning is it’s always been obvious to me that Trump is a bad person whose personal values are fundamentally at odds with the values of American liberal democracy. Not a flawed person, as we all are. But a bad person.

What an inspiring day of nonviolent civil resistance.

As out-of-touch universities and elite law firms cower to protect their bottom lines, MILLIONS of everyday Americans are rising to protect their communities from tyranny. And we won’t stop until we’re all free.

The American Age Is Over Emergency Triad: The United States commits imperial suicide.

“We cannot overstate what has just happened. It took just 71 days for Donald Trump to wreck the American economy, mortally wound NATO, and destroy the American-led world order.” @jvl.bsky.social

Trump Administration Threatens to Withhold Funds From Public Schools State education officials will be required to verify that they have eliminated all programs that promote diversity, equity and inclusion that the administration deems unlawful, according to a new memo...

intentionally vague. They can’t even define which programs are in violation of their convoluted interpretation of civil rights laws. #HandsOff

It has now been 30 days with NO humanitarian aid getting into Gaza.

No food, no water, no medicine, no fuel.

That is barbaric. The U.S. must end our complicity in these atrocities.

Hundreds of Thousands Will Die The writer, surgeon, and former U.S.A.I.D. senior official Atul Gawande on the Trump Administration’s decimation of foreign aid and the consequences around the world.

“This damage has created effects that will be forever.” Atul Gawande, a former senior leader at U.S.A.I.D., talks to David Remnick about the repercussions of all the destruction caused by Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

The Netanyahu government has killed 50,000 people in Gaza & wounded 112,000.

Two weeks ago, they broke the ceasefire and have since killed 322 children & wounded 600.

The US must end its complicity.

Tomorrow, I will force votes to block $8.8 billion in arm sales to Netanyahu.

Tariffs Will Destroy the Best Cure for the Trade Deficit US exports not only reduce deficits, they also bring higher-paying jobs and greater innovation. A tariff-driven trade war will hold back their growth.

"US makers will get cut out of global supply chains. And US consumers and workers at home will be left to subsist on a much smaller economic pie," writes CFR expert Shannon O'Neil.

Agency for older adults, people with disabilities to be shuttered under HHS cuts In 2022, the Administration for Community Living provided more than 261 million meals to older adults, assistance such as respite care to more than 1.5 million family caregivers, and independent-livin...

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have frozen funding for federal programs that provide support and sustenance to dozens of millions of older adults and people with disabilities, including Meals on Wheels.

Trump confirmed that one imagined "method" for | staying in power involves Vance running for prez, winning, and then passing the baton back to him. Trump: "That's one. But there are others too. There are others." Welker: "There are others? Can you tell me another?" Trump: "No."

This is a very alarming constitutional gray area and Trump is floating it because he’s taking it seriously. Ignoring the ambiguities in the 12th and 22nd Amendments won’t make them go away! slate.com/news-and-pol...

ABJ rules that the evidence suggests Trump, Musk, Vought and others intend to fully dismantle CFPB — likely illegally — and do it quickly so there’s no chance to reverse course. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...
