The Center for American Progress is dedicated to improving the lives of Americans through ideas and action.

The Trump administration champions its immigration policies as upholding the rule of law. Its actions tell a different story, argues CAP's @TomJawetz for @MSNOWNews: https://t.co/ZFQMXUga4Q

[Rep. Pete Aguilar @RepPeteAguilar]

The American people want lower grocery and gas prices.

Not a costly war with Iran.

[Rep. Brendan Boyle @CongBoyle]

Trump promised to lower costs on day 1.

It's day 500, and everyone knows Trump's disastrous agenda has made life even more expensive.

The average family has already paid over $2,300 more under Trump. But while Americans pay the bill, Trump only seems to care about his ballroom.

The Montana Plan flips the script on #CitizensUnited and goes after dark money in politics.

The Trump administration's unprecedented Pentagon budget request for $1.45 TRILLION is both the largest inflation-adjusted dollar amount in history and the largest one-year increase since the Korean War. https://t.co/ELLKx1zS39

A good editorial on the consequences for our republic of the exchange I had with Sec. Mullin this week about the refusal of DHS to comply with court orders. https://t.co/gYl0l4zZrx

Trump’s potential DOJ settlement could be the deal of a lifetime for him and the Trump family—all on the backs of American taxpayers. https://t.co/plNGhE3uCB

[Tom Jawetz @TomJawetz]

The Trump administration's calculated disdain for the rule of law was on full display this week when @SecMullinDHS testified before Congress.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. https://t.co/vwphkUmEBj @MSNOWNews

President Trump's Iran war has proven to be a strategic blunder, and the American people would have unquestionably been better off had Trump rejected Netanyahu's arguments for war. https://t.co/AiNdSi72n6

CAP's Corporate Power Reset plan is a novel legal strategy that can effectively undo #CitizensUnited—here's how:

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Elon Musk, the wealthiest man alive, gutted USAID, which supports some of the poorest people in the world.

Now there's an Ebola outbreak in the Congo, which USAID could have helped prevent or slow.

When you dismantle the systems that stop deadly diseases, people needlessly die.

[Katherine Clark @WhipKClark]

Donald Trump promised to lower costs on Day One.

It was a lie.

Instead, he’s focused on a ballroom, putting his face on a $250 bill, and enriching himself with taxpayer dollars.

An independent news media and vibrant public discourse are central to America’s identity and way of life, rooted in the First Amendment to the Constitution. The Paramount-Warner Bros. merger must be blocked.

[American Progress @amprog]

By freezing a vital $14 billion arms package to Taiwan, the Trump administration is abandoning historic U.S. commitments, damaging Indo-Pacific deterrence, and inviting Beijing’s aggression. https://t.co/AiDdqwxMK5

[Andrew Miller @AndrwPMiller]

.@michaelsozan and I argue that US govt regulators must block the Paramount- Warner Bros. merger to prevent foreign government influence on American media outlets. The deal is not just anticompetitive. It’s a national security threat. https://t.co/IvpR2ZPjTY

In my latest for @amprog, I show that the Trump administration has failed to accomplish its objectives in its war of choice on Iran while imposing steep costs on Americans, the Middle East, and the global economy. Iran has become Trump’s “Iraq War.” https://t.co/E1jlolQaPb
