The president took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, he’s focused his second term on enriching himself and his family.

Two employees of Elon Musk’s DOGE at the Social Security Administration violated security rules by sharing highly sensitive data, according to a DOJ court filing.

This is far from the only damage DOGE is leaving behind. Watch.

Musk has stepped out of the limelight, but DOGE is still gutting countless government programs and services that million

I spent the morning at the San Antonio immigration court. It’s out of control.

Crawling with ICE - arresting legal immigrants showing up for court appearances.

I asked one officer who they are prioritizing. His answer: everyone.

I need to share with you what I saw.

I just spent the morning at the immigration court in San Antonio. What I saw was insane. The blatant, systemic violation of the law. I’m going live on @instagram at @senchrismurphy in a few minutes to tell you about what I saw.

Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people under the First Amendment.

Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors.

Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Garcia: "Trump is leading a WH coverup right now of the Epstein files, and we all know Epstein himself said Trump was his best friend for over 10 years. It is shameful, illegal & unconstitutional that the DOJ has released 1% of the files. Where is the pressure to get Pam Bondi to release the files?"

In Trump's telling, the US are the equivalent of the Nazis
Trump: "No nation is in any position to be able to secure Greenland other than the US. We're a great power. Much greater than people even understand. I think they found that out 2 weeks ago in Venezuela. We saw this in World War 2 when Denmark fell to Germany after just 6 hours of fighting."

THE WOMAN WHO WAS DRAGGED OUT OF HER CAR AND ARRESTED BY ICE SPEAKS OUT…

We’ve all seen the videos, but it matters to hear Aliya Rahman say it herself.

📌 She says her treatment in custody was dehumanizing, and that officers completely failed to take her disability seriously.

The current permission/punishment structure for Don the Con's 'Merica is thus:
Violently attack and physically harm police in the Nation's Capital while shitting in the halls of Congress, waving a confederate flag wearing racist and nazi emblems & U will be pardoned.
