my takeaway from reading this is that i have to assume that every half-competent intelligence agency in the world has an almost real-time glimpse into what the white house and the pentagon are doing

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

The crypto lobby has spent $129 million to elect industry-friendly candidates over the last three election cycles.
Crypto is now one of the largest campaign contributors since Citizens United — second to Big Oil.
For the sake of democracy, we must get big money out of politics.

Trump’s tax law cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.
What did corporations do with the money saved?
They didn’t invest it or raise wages.
They spent a record $1 trillion on stock buybacks the year after the law went into effect.
Nothing trickled down to workers.

A day later we learned that Clarence Thomas received even more free vacations from GOP megadonor Harlan Crow.

In 2025, the top 1% will get a tax cut of more than $60,000.
Meanwhile, the bottom 60% will see a tax cut of less than $500.
This is why we called the Trump tax cuts a giveaway to the super-rich.
Because that’s exactly what they were.
