This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Ending the government's free, easy-to-use tax filing service means giant tax prep companies get a big boost while working families pay more.
 
That's what "efficiency" means to Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

If you think the Trump Regime aren't absolutely terrified of Kilmar Abrego Garcia coming home and talking, take a moment and let soak in they just tried to conflate him with a MURDER he has absolutely nothing to do with.
I’m sorry she lost her daughter—but Kilmar Garcia had nothing to do with it.

She’s twisting two different stories. Mad her tax dollars sent Sen Van Hollen to El Salvador—but not mad they’re funding Kilmar’s indefinite imprisonment w/out due process?

One more time: easier to be angry than informed.

Is the president telling his followers to buy stocks in order to manipulate the market?

Is this legal?

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

These are the tariffs of the Republican Party-not just Trump. Congress voted to give Trump the authority to do this, & can vote to repeal them at any time. But they won’t, even though many know this will be a disaster, because they are afraid of Trump. So now they own this mess.

Crawford: Today, Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our fair elections, and our Supreme Court.. Wisconsin stood up and said that justice does not have a price, our courts are not for sale

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy.

Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media.

That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, and the arts – to prevent us from learning.

It's Fascism 101.

Donald Trump’s billionaire Commerce Secretary has financial advice for Americans:

1. Please buy Tesla stock to help poor Elon Musk.

2. Shut up and don’t complain when you don’t get your Social Security check.
Trump’s Commerce Secretary just said seniors shouldn’t “call and complain” if they stop getting their Social Security checks: “A fraudster always makes the loudest noise screaming and complaining.”
