The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.

When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.

The result? Demagoguery and corruption.

❤️BREAKING❤️ - Bernie Sanders before 20k People in Tucson:

"They have the wealth. They have all the money in the world. They have the power. They have the media. But you know what they don’t have? We’ve got 20,000 people here in Tucson and we got 100's of millions of people all across this country."

We have each other. We are the Resistance now. All of us.

These are bold and wild allegations from the FBI, which is moving to criminalize organizations like Habitat for Humanity for receiving grants from the EPA.

In a court filing, Citibank disclosed that it had been directed by the FBI to freeze the bank accounts of these groups.

the U.S. Interagency Council on Homelessness, the Community Development Financial Institutions Fund, and the Minority Business Development Agency.

Trump signed an executive order to dismantle seven federal agencies: the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, the U.S. Agency for Global Media, the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, the Institute of Museum and Library Services,

Additionally, the removed content included information about groups such as the Buffalo Soldiers and the Tuskegee Airmen, both composed of Black service members who made significant contributions to U.S. military history.

- Lieutenant Kara Spears Hultgreen – The Navy’s first female carrier-based fighter pilot.
- Major Marie Therese Rossi – The first American woman to fly helicopters in combat during Operation Desert Storm.

That is both messed up and disgraceful! You can’t just delete history!

Arlington National Cemetery has removed information about prominent Black, Hispanic, and female service members, as well as topics such as the Civil War, from its website.

They are using the FBI to intimidate people. This is how they are forcing their way into many places.

Elon Musk’s staffers visited the U.S. Institute of Peace, accompanied by two FBI agents. They were met at the door by a lawyer who informed them that the institute holds “private and independent status as a non-executive branch agency.” Following this, the staffers left.

This law has historically been used only during declared wars, such as the War of 1812, World War I, and World War II. Applying it now, without an official war, raises major legal and ethical concerns, particularly about its constitutionality and impact on civil rights.

Trump issued an executive order invoking a wartime law the Alien Enemies Act of 1798—a little-known law—would allow the government to deport without due process.

DOGE claims to have saved $115 billion, but we can confirm this figure is overstated by 77.3%, meaning the actual savings amount to only $26.05 billion. To verify this, we had to rely on internal connections, as Musk has obscured details of these claims on DOGE despite promises of transparency.

Just hours after Trump signed an executive order on Friday to dismantle the federal agency overseeing Voice of America, hundreds of journalists, executives, and other employees at its Washington headquarters were informed they were being placed on paid leave.

For over 80 years, Voice of America delivered news to countries—many under authoritarian rule—where reliable information was scarce. Now, those broadcasts, once a vital tool for promoting democracy and transparency, are fading away.

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

Musk’s staffers have entered an independent government agency by force. Employees from DOGE are now inside the Washington offices of the United States Institute of Peace. This comes just days after agency representatives were unable to gain access to the building on Friday being blocked by lawyers.
