When two-thirds of Americans say the system of checks and balances is not working well, itโ€™s a clear sign that our democracy is in crisis.

Economic inequality waters the seeds of discontent and makes authoritarianism and authoritarian leaders appealing.

โ€œTrump's second-term agenda was designed by his closest allies to move fast and test the limits of executive power.โ€

Theyโ€™re testing the limits so that we get used to a broken system. Weโ€™re fighting back with our vision of an economy that works for us all, not just the president and his allies.

If you're sending FOIAs re Kristi Noem any time soon, get them in ASAP and request expedited processing.

Hard to believe, but something tells me DHS and Noem aren't going to be itching to ensure they are following records preservation rules.

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and itโ€™s good sheโ€™s gone.

But this doesnโ€™t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.
