Since I was young, Russia was always, if not our enemy, at least the antithesis to the American beliefs of freedom of speech, religion and political affiliation.

It seems that years ago the GOP, in their greed, invited Russian oligarchs to subversively take over America.

Photographed Cleveland Councilwoman Rebecca Maurer at the No Kings rally at Willard Park, in front of the Free Stamp. Great to see her answering questions and engaging with residents. She’s running for another term in the newly drawn Ward 5. More info: rebeccaforcleveland.com

Shaheen: What’s ironic about this is that 57% of people who identify as MAGA Republicans benefit from those tax credits. 76% of people who receive premium tax credits are in states that Trump won. I don’t understand why our colleagues have been so reluctant to address this looming problem.

I know this is not useful but it is absolutely wild how the president has turned the office into a multi-billion-dollar corruption machine and no one can (is willing) do anything about it

Congress just held a hearing to determine why nothing ever gets done. After five hours...they adjourned...because nothing got done. America’s fine. Carry on.

When Massachusetts passed a "millionaires tax" in 2023, conservatives claimed the rich would flee.

But two years later, they haven't — and MA has collected $5.7B for infrastructure and public education.

A reminder that positive change can still happen at the state level.

Anonymous donor pays military… my ass! He’s simply eases some stolen money back in so the larger grifts aren’t derailed!

I’m going to say again that the shutdown is the power consolidation. While Congress neuters itself, he’s simply taking control of what they can’t/won’t in their absence. And Democrats aren’t upping the ante in what it will take to reopen—namely demanding Article 1 powers be honored.
I don’t need to explain why it’s wildly unacceptable for the military to be illegally privately financed by the president’s wealthy allies, right?
New: The Pentagon confirms to CNN it will funnel $130M from an anonymous Trump “friend” toward military pay.

Asked about the donor’s identity and any foreign or domestic entanglements, the WH referred questions to DoD. DoD then referred questions back to the WH

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics.

It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history.

It corrupts our political system every day.

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.
NEW: NBC News confirms that the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, on the east side of the White House, has been destroyed as part of the demolition of the East Wing.

-Amazon

Don't forget — they're not just buying a ballroom. They're buying Trump's favor.
