When I was Secretary of Labor, one of my cardinal responsibilities was to guard the independence of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. If politicized, it would no longer be trusted as a source of information. So what does Trump do? With one fell swoop today, he destroyed it.

Republicans complain about Texas Democrats β€œfleeing”—yet just days ago, they themselves fled D.C. to avoid voting on the Epstein files.

Why? To protect a convicted felon sitting in the Oval Office.

One side dodges accountability.
The other fights for democracy.

People should be up in arms about the closure of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the destruction of the economy, the arrests of non-criminal immigrants and the increasing banning of books and other information sources in this country. Wake up, folks.

Yosemite employees worked for weeks with no pay before the government hired them Seasonal employees counting on housing at Yosemite were asked to volunteer for the park while the government was unable

Thanks to Trump's cuts, seasonal employees at Yosemite worked for as long as six weeks without pay.

The National Park Service is one of our most popular government agencies.

It's being gutted to fund enormously unpopular tax cuts for the super-rich.

'I don't care about Direct File': IRS chief says agency plans to end free filing program Internal Revenue Service Commissioner Bill Long said the agency will end its Direct File program.

The IRS's free Direct File tool is now "gone," according to Trump's IRS chief.

This comes after tax prep companies like Intuit, the maker of TurboTax, lobbied the for years to block it.

Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

See how this works?
