YouTube video by ProPublica Russell Vought: The Shadow President

VIDEO: Reporter @andykroll.bsky.social explains Vought’s rise from a congressional staffer to the man piloting everything from Trump's layoffs and agency closings to his shutdown strategy, controlling the fate of trillions of dollars and millions of federal workers.

Pete Hegseth Can't Handle the Truth Trump's secretary of war is trying to make it harder for inspectors general and reporters to investigate what's really going on at the Pentagon.

Because Pete Hegseth can’t handle accountability or criticism, transparency is his enemy.

Probably worth noting that both Vance and Trump have been “joking” about murdering fishermen in these strikes.

The Right's Secret Plan to Help Billionaires Buy Elections J.D. Vance and other MAGA interests are working to get the Supreme Court to end restrictions on campaign-spending limits.

🗣️ Conservatives, their oligarch benefactors, and the Supreme Court have a master plan to try to lock in the kleptocratic status quo.

They know in a functioning one-person-one-vote democracy, they could never pass the self-enriching policies they want.

People Are Furious With Democrats. Bernie Sanders Knows Why. Democratic Party leadership is way out of touch with where the American people are, and it’s almost frightening to see the kind of anger and contempt that people feel toward it.

Bernie Sanders on out-of-touch Democratic Party leadership:

“… the Mamdani campaign is a crystallization of that. And if the Democratic leadership can’t support the Democratic nominee, what is the Democratic Party? Who’s the Democratic Party?”

I am old enough to remember when Trump said he would lower grocery prices on Day One.

To the Fourth Amendment: You Were Great While We Knew You ​Trump is aping King George III in attacking constitutional restraints on unreasonable searches and seizures.

The assault in Chicago was what the Framers of our Constitution feared and what they hoped our Bill of Rights could thwart. But a Constitution is not self defending.

They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry.

(He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

Sanders: Health Insurance Premiums Will Double for Millions Due to GOP Cuts Republicans’ budget bill will stick Americans with thousands more in insurance costs while giving tax cuts to the rich.

Health insurance premiums will soon double for roughly 24 million Americans as a result of Republicans’ marquee budget bill, a new report by Sen. Bernie Sanders’s office reports, making health care even more unaffordable as the cost of living rises in the U.S.

Stephen Miller Says the 'Quiet Part Out Loud,' Claims Trump Has Unlimited 'Plenary Authority' Then Abruptly Goes Silent in Interview "Miller's statements show their real position," wrote New Republic columnist Greg Sargeant. "Trump's power to invent pretexts for emergency actions is limitless."

During an ominous interview, Trump's deputy chief of staff argued that Trump has "plenary authority"—essentially limitless power—to use the military in US cities. He then abruptly went silent, prompting speculation that he "said the quiet part out loud."

Mail Voting Accuracy Election officials use many checks to ensure mail voting is secure against widespread fraud and tampering.

The Brennan Center research shows that voting in person, early voting, and mail voting are accurate and secure. It’s paramount to ensure that every eligible citizen has the freedom to vote. bit.ly/4fLDlDa

Trump Opens the White House Doors to Foreign Regimes and Their Dirty Money Lobbyists for foreign countries have long helped other governments influence US policy, but nothing compares to the brazen corruption of the second administration of Trump.

Decades ago, a man named Ivy Lee jump-started the foreign lobbying industry, whitewashing the Nazis, Soviets, and Mussolini.

Nearly a century later, the industry is unlike anything we've ever seen—all of it thanks to the White House.

Worst president ever:

The “war-ravaged” Portland only exists in Trump’s head. My video report paints a very Portland scene of defiance—and dance.

Portland, Oregon, is in President Donald Trump's sights—just the latest Democratic city facing increased militarization.

But video shows that this "war-ravaged" Portland Trump is talking about...is all just in his head.

Boycott T-Mobile—and All Trump Collaborators Let's make it clear not just to T-Mobile but all of corporate America: There are costs to siding with this authoritarian government.
