Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse.

Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

The broadcasting of educational programs such as Sesame Street in war-torn areas around the world is one of the many ways the U.S. demostrates its "soft power." Michael is joined by Joseph S. Nye Jr., who coined the term.

Breaking: The court has granted our request for another restraining order, this time to stop the federal government from unlawfully slashing research funding that was already approved. This would have cost NC’s universities hundreds of millions and damaged core industries, prompting major layoffs.

Listen to Secretary Pete. And remember, these are our funds. These are our courts. And these are our streets.

I've been voting 40+ years and have never thought less of someone because they voted for the other candidate, until Trump. If you voted for Trump, be confident that I absolutely think far less of you. And no, we cannot be friends. #NotMyPresident

Serious question: Does this actually stop Musk? I imagine he'll simply ignore the court order & keep taking what he wants. 1) He won't be prosecuted by Bondi's DOJ. 2) If he were ever prosecuted, it'll take years. 3) Trump can simply pardon him. Musk effectively has zero accountability. #DOGE

Someone needs to tell Trump’s enablers that when this shitshow is over and the tribunals begin, he will have immunity but they won’t lol

Breaking: Our request for a temporary restraining order for the federal funding freeze was just granted.

The freeze is now paused.

Our case continues, and the restraining order is in effect until further notice.
