Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program.
Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs.
Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them.
See how this works?

Science doesn’t improve by cutting Black, Hispanic, and women experts. But that’s exactly what happened—38 out of 43 removed from NIH boards were just that. And they wonder why trust in institutions is fading.
Women, minorities fired in purge of NIH science review boards
Scientists, with expertise in fields that include mental health, cancer and infectious disease, typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal.

In a chilling Oval Office exchange, Trump told El Salvador’s President Bukele, ‘The homegrowns are next,’ openly threatening to send American citizens to El Salvador’s notorious mega-prisons.

It's Tax Day! Tax Day means...it's time for everyone to pay their fair share! Let's pass Sen. Murray and Rep. Alzate's bill to tax the richest 1%, and let's pass my "Taylor Swift" mansion tax. We've got massive holes in the budget, and a fair tax code is the first step towards fixing this.

When George says it…we ought to listen up.
I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

It is an ICE agent taking an axe to the car window of an immigrant in New Bedford, MA. Not far from where I sit now. An immigrant with no criminal record was abducted by this smiling man.

Seniors Are More Conservative Because the Poor Die Off
Sometimes older voters aren’t just naturally more conservative. It’s just that wealthier and whiter people tend to live longer and healthier lives.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants.
So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House.
The hypocrisy is outrageous.

Every Democrat should back @schiff.senate.gov and demand an investigation. Do what Republicans do: flood cable news, light up social & drop every detail you’ve got.
Republicans won’t hold hearings? Fine—hold your own. Do it in red districts. Live stream it and we’ll make it go viral.

- The market crashed—the worst sell-off since 2020
- The maker of Jeeps & Ram trucks laid off 900 U.S. workers
- J.P. Morgan predicts there's a 60% chance of a global recession
- Trump’s tariffs could cost the average American household $3,800 a year

Donald Trump started the dumbest trade war in the history of America.
His Secretary of Treasury is on Tucker Carlson spinning tales instead of working to contain the fallout.
It's time for Republicans to stop bending the knee to Trump and put an end to this.
