I will not stop raising the alarm on what's happening to Social Security.

Republicans are blowing up the national debt to shower billionaires with tax cuts, but they’re telling everyone else we need to fire Social Security staff and shutter offices.

Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings.

It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

Q: Why does Trump play so much golf?

A: Because he can’t fiddle.

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.
 
It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

It's only the end of democracy if it comes from the Supreme Court. Otherwise it's just sparkling despotism.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent $18 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration.

This is happening as he slashes the federal workforce, guts funding for vital programs, and tees up major cuts to Medicaid to pay for more tax cuts for the rich.

Hello?

When Trump was sworn in, Elon Musk's corporations were under more than 32 investigations conducted by at least 11 federal agencies.

Most of the cases are now closed or likely to be closed soon, and the federal agencies are being defanged by DOGE.

Funny how that works, huh?

“The most anti-veteran administration ever”

Every time I read a story like this I recommit to be louder and more defiant.

BREAKING: irony dead.

The richest man in the world doesn't think you should get to retire after paying into Social Security your entire life.

Remember: The fundamental issue isn’t the size of the government or how to make government more “efficient.” 

It’s who our government is for.

Should it work mainly for big corporations and billionaires, including the richest person in the world — or for the rest of us?

The threat of the bird flu is GROWING because the federal workers tracking and responding to the disease were fired by a smugly uninformed billionaire.

YOUR health is at risk and egg prices will keep skyrocketing because Elon and Trump have ZERO clue who they are firing.

No wonder principled Republicans are leaving President Trump over his absurd posturing with Putin.

The United States must stand with Ukraine, Europe, and our allies.

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.”

I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

China sees an opportunity as the U.S. cuts aid to groups around the world President Trump and Elon Musk's efforts to shrink the federal government have cut off all funding to pro-democracy and human rights groups abroad, giving China an opportunity to muscle in.

USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them An Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.

And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

Ax falls on elite group of Ph.D.s training to lead U.S. public health labs Most of the fellows in CDC’s highly competitive Laboratory Leadership Service were fired last weekend

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs.

Elon Musk—an unelected billionaire with a long list of conflicts of interest and deep ties to China—is hijacking our nation's checkbook so he can block funds that help the American people.

It's corrupt—and it's putting our economy & the most at-risk communities in jeopardy.

In addition to having no real qualifications and many alarming positions, Pete Hegseth also has so many red flags that raise serious concerns about his character and conduct—and that make him unfit to lead our nation's military.

Trump’s inaugural address centers on pledge to lift a country in ‘decline’ In his second Inaugural Address, the president reprised dark themes from his first and laid out an expansive policy agenda.

President Trump's inaugural address was a misleading assessment of the U.S. It has a growing economy, falling inflation, slowing illegal immigration, a record-breaking stock market, the lowest levels of violent crime in years and a military that has limited engagement in conflicts around the world.

A Trump Oligarchy Is Moving to Washington, and Buying Up Prime Addresses Billionaires and multimillionaires are flocking to a city where power has been more important than money, but is now deeply intertwined with it.

President Biden warned in his farewell address that an oligarchy is taking shape in the U.S. As President-elect Trump returns to the White House, billionaires and multimillionaires are flocking to the city where power has been more important than money, but is now deeply intertwined with it.
