Trying to get into the 3 pm ET meeting. The link in the email and in the calendar invite take me back to the registration page.

Good morning.

If the the Senate passes the Republican budget bill, 40% of American families - those with lower and middle incomes - will LOSE money. They will become poorer.

But the richest families will get an average $270,000 tax cut.

Because they only care about the rich.

This is unfathomably shameful. How do we even have to debate this? Why would anyone ever again be so foolish as to trust or help the United States if this is how we treat people who risk their lives on our behalf?

I'm tuned into What's Next. #NoKings

The acting head of FEMA, a Trump appointee, told staff today he didn’t know the U.S. has a hurricane season. FEMA is dangerously unprepared this year.

‘The Only Practical Check That’s Left Is the Power of the Purse.’ In the baffling haze of dealing with ‘everything, all the time,' a few clear signals of where to take a stand. Let's start with Democrats all voting NO on a blank check for Elon Musk.

If you need to blame anyone, blame the House Republicans who left DC yesterday -- abandoning their jobs before the budget was passed. The power of the purse has to be guarded.

For the love of God and all Pennsylvanians, please do not vote to support the Republican shutdown of Medicaid.

Mahmoud Khalil Has Not Been Allowed to Speak Privately With Lawyers Mahmoud Khalil, a legal permanent resident who the Trump administration has claimed is a national security threat, is in immigration detention in Louisiana.

Lawyers for Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University graduate detained by the Trump administration last weekend, have not been able to hold a private conversation with their client since his arrest.

Arresting someone without charge, explanation, or due process to silence dissent is unconstitutional. This type of thing happens in dictatorships, not America.

You don’t have to agree with Mahmoud Khalil to defend his rights—if his freedoms can be taken by the Trump administration, so can yours.

Wall Street suffered its worst day of the year on Monday, amid investor fears that President Trump's tariffs could raise prices, slow the economy and sow uncertainty among businesses. The S&P 500 has now erased all the gains it made since Election Day. nyti.ms/4hlQ2n9

He says this without having one shred of evidence. It's total bullshit. And it is driving US policy and will wreck the lives of millions of Americans.

GOP spending bill would lead to $1 billion in D.C. cuts, city officials say The bill aimed at preventing a government shutdown would make D.C. revert to its 2024 spending. City officials fear cuts to police, schools and other services.

House GOP bill to extend federal spending would also undo the D.C. government's 2025 budget, because it doesn't have language usually included in short-term spending bills that lets the District spend locally raised funds before Congress formally approves www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Trump and Musk have cut vital programs at the VA, leaving many veterans in crisis abandoned. Our veterans answered the call, but now nobody will answer theirs.

Amid noise from President Donald Trump over tariffs and trade wars, that annexation threat, and a bad-for-Canadians exchange rate, Shore proprietors are wondering if their usual repeat customers from the Great White North will show up this summer. (1/4) inquirer.com/news/new-jer...

The Diseases Are Coming Elon Musk’s slash-and-burn government tear will have lasting effects on global health.

I wrote about Trump and Musk dismantling our disease-detection systems abroad.

I tried posting this to X. But due to Musk’s cuts, his app isn’t working right now 🙄

We can’t have the same in global health. We will regret this.

DOGE released data about federal contract savings. It doesn't add up A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

How to Organize Our Way Out of the Trump-Musk Putsch By firing Gwynne Wilcox, Trump is hoping the Supreme Court will overrule 90 years of legal precedent and give him the authority to fire members of independent boards.

This is important. This is not a marathon; this is not a sprint. This is a relay race, and we need to rest so that we can trust each other to pick up the baton when it is our turn. I head to the ocean and the woods.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

Trump might be calling himself King, but most Americans know that Pres Musk is in charge.

Trump might be calling himself King, but it's clear to most Americans that Pres Musk is in charge.

I also think it's to combat the fact that many see Musk as the king. It's clear to me that Musk is pulling the strings.

What ProPublica’s Reporters Will Be Covering During Donald Trump’s Second Presidency — and How to Contact Them From Trump’s relationships with billionaires to immigration, here are some of the issues and topics our reporters will be keeping an eye on as his second presidency begins.

Federal workers, we recognize that this is an unpredictable time.

Our team is actively pairing your tips with reporters on this list and across our newsroom to make sure you're speaking to someone with the right expertise. How to get in touch:

Let me speak to the DOGE audit language. Many people who work in both the Treasury and specifically the IRS are CPAs. Most audit firms hire CPAs. A 19yo coder has absolutely no idea how to accurately identify waste or fraud. Calling what DOGE is doing as a audit, is a flat out lie.

Thousands of protesters opposing President Trump’s agenda took to the streets on Monday across the U.S., derisively calling him a “king” on Presidents’ Day for his efforts to terminate thousands of federal workers and to fire prosecutors and independent watchdogs. nyti.ms/3CQA2LX

Wonder if Elon could survive a week on the salary we make. While he burns through $8 million a day, the working class struggles—yet he paints us as the enemy.

Thousands march from City Hall to the Philadelphia Art Museum in the birthplace of American democracy on Presidents' Day 🇺🇸🦅

This is okay, it's better than it's been, but Dems still aren't really using the language of crisis or being honest about the problem. Trump is conducting an illegal, authoritarian power grab. THAT'S the crisis. It's an assault on our system of government.
