Steven Rattner: “I have no idea where the president is going or what he does. He probably has no idea where he’s going on this. This is the worst economic policy-making I've seen in 50 years."

Here’s the real reason why DOGE is gutting the IRS.

(Hint: it has nothing to do with “efficiency.”)

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Since Trump announced his worldwide tariffs: markets tanked, retirement accounts took a hit, and Americans are panicked.

We can pass a resolution right now to stop this chaos–Republicans just need to grow a spine and put the American people over blind loyalty to Donald Trump.

50,000 people in Gaza are dead. 114,000 wounded. Two-thirds of the casualties are women, children, or elderly people. The entire infrastructure has been destroyed.

Much of that devastation has been done with U.S. bombs supplied to Netanyahu's war machine. We are complicit.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Donald Trump’s massive new tariffs mean higher prices and more chaos at the expense of American families—just to help pay for tax handouts to billionaires and big corporations.

BREAKING: Pete Buttigieg just scorched Donald Trump. This is absolutely incredible.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Do we have the guts to stand up to authoritarianism?

Can we take on the oligarchs?

Can we beat back Trumpism?

Yes. We can.

The American people are ready to fight.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Donald Trump and Elon Musk are gutting the CFPB, giving big corporations a free pass to rip you off.

We need state-level consumer protections now more than ever, and @NewYorkStateAG Letitia James is stepping up.

We're fighting back in Congress, the courts and the states.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

This is the most brazenly corrupt White House in the history of the country. But for Democrats to be credible on this issue, we need to be clear about how we would fix our broken democracy is we are given power again.

Edward Snowden - “The charges against Julian Assange are an absolute unadorned legal fiction.”

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

The guys who wrote the Constitution were nobody's fools.

They created a separation of powers so that one person could not amass enormous power.

It should frighten EVERY American — conservatives and progressives — that we now have a president who doesn't respect the rule of law.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trump’s tariffs will result in a massive transfer of wealth from working people into the hands of millionaires and billionaires. Here’s how.
