I talked to Sen Gary Peters about his investigation into DOGE’s handling of our Social Security data. It's CRAZY. If you haven’t read the report, do.
TLDR? It’s very likely that DOGE uploaded all of our most private Social Security data to an insecure cloud server. Nobody knows who can access it.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.
It didn't matter.
Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

FYI: Gutting funding for public media will cut off news sources for millions of Americans. That’s exactly what Trump wants: to exert even more control over the news and information that the public receives – or doesn’t even receive at all. It’s a hallmark of dictatorship.

I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Well, this isn’t going to be good. Trump nominated Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel, an independent agency meant to protect whistle-blowers and enforce ethics laws in the federal government.

Everyone’s been stressed about tariffs now the courts have spoken. A panel of federal judges just blocked Trump from imposing some of his steepest tariffs on China and other trading partners, ruling that he far exceeded his authority under federal law. In short, Trump’s tariffs were ruled illegal.
