Good morning. Trump is protecting Epstein files. The confederacy lost and they were traitors, mRNA vaccines are the future, cops shouldn’t wear masks, Trump cut taxes for the rich and ripped benefits from the poor.

Have a weekend

Isn’t that the truth!

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Kristi Noem refused to say who financed some of her travel. It was taxpayers who were on the hook An Associated Press analysis of recently released travel records found more than $150,000 in expenses tied to Noem’s political and personal activity.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

Future is an Army veteran who did mission-critical work at VA Puget Sound until she was abruptly fired for no reason by Trump & Elon.

She shared how disheartening it is to hear the Trump administration smear veterans & VA employees as unfit.

Our veterans deserve better.

The State House of Representatives passed legislation to prevent the National Guard from other states from entering Washington without our permission.

I look forward to signing it and joining a bipartisan group of states that have this protection.

Baldwin: "Trump a little over a week ago said on Fox News, 'I'm not touching Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid.' And he said it multiple times. The next morning he endorsed the Republican House budget which calls for nearly a trillion dollars in cuts to Medicaid."

BREAKING: Senate Republicans just confirmed Linda McMahon as Education Secretary—another unqualified billionaire who doesn't understand the Department she's tasked with leading and who is ready to grab the hatchet and help Trump destroy the Department of Education altogether.

Trump and Elon are decimating the Social Security Administration, and without adequate staff, there will be people who can’t get their benefits—period.

An unaccountable billionaire is going after Social Security. Senate Democrats are fighting back.

Delete NOAA at our own peril The agency's data gathering and reporting—about hurricanes, heat waves, torrential rains and other extreme weather events—save lives.

“Leave NOAA alone, Mr. Musk. For all our sakes.”

Elon Musk is following the Project 2025 playbook by targeting NOAA—the agency that tracks hurricanes, climate change, and environmental hazards. But, as Jeff Nesbit explains, the NOAA isn’t a “climate change cabal.” It’s a life-saving agency.

We are witnessing a historic and frequently illegal dismantling of the government by the richest man in the world.

Lets check in on the Congressional committee whose job it is to monitor what is happening in the executive branch:
