That's right - we should cut government waste.

But we're seeing Trump and Musk's plan in action: pausing federal funds that rip school lunch away from preschoolers and end Meals on Wheels for seniors. That's not efficiency, it's cruelty.

I have better ideas.

Let's be clear about what happened today: Donald Trump tried to cut a giant chunk of government funding — hurting preschoolers, seniors, and veterans.

Trump's illegal shutdown is blocked for now — but don't forget that he tried to cut programs supporting working families.

Hegseth told the Senate he’d protect the inspector general’s independence. But after Trump illegally fired the IG, he’s weaponizing government investigations to go after Gen. Milley.

It’s a warning sign that Hegseth’s focused more on political retribution than national security.

Retired Gen. Mark Milley's personal security detail and security clearance is being pulled by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, multiple senior administration officials tell Fox News.

Chair Powell is putting jobs at risk and making it more difficult for you to afford a home or pay your credit card bill.

The Fed needs to cut interest rates. President Trump needs to act to lower costs – not shut down programs that help families, seniors, and veterans.

The Fed paused rate cuts after its first meeting of the year — here's what that means for your credit card, mortgage rate, auto loan and savings account.

How much will it cost to house and guard 30,000 people in Cuba? A lot more than letting them stay in America where they'll work and pay taxes. This isn't about immigrants being a financial drain on the US economy. It's about racism. Pure and simple.
Trump has signed an executive order to prepare a detention facility at Guantánamo Bay that he said could be used to hold up to 30,000 immigrants deported from the US.

No money for meals on wheels, head start, student grants, Medicare etc. But billions of dollars to build a detention center in Cuba - no problem! Can’t believe I live amongst people who have these values. Such great Christians.

So his plan is to use a concentration camp to provoke a standoff with Cuba, then.
Trump announces an executive order authorizing a 30,000 capacity migrant detention center in Guantanamo.

"Some of them are so bad we don't even trust the countries to hold them because we don't want them coming back, so we're going to send them out to Guatanamo Bay."

With the terrible tragedy over the skies of D.C., it’s time to prioritize safety. Trump must end the hiring freeze on air traffic controllers and restore the aviation safety advisory committee he dismantled on Jan 22.

Hegspeth is confirmed. Now What? He has no idea how to manage the Pentagon. So he is going to be dependent on his direct reports. Most of which require confirmation.

The Dems have to use whatever political skills they have to get qualified, rational people in these positions ?

Suggestions ?

Right now, in America, 22 million workers make less than $15/hr. 40 million make less than $17/hr.

Shamefully, the federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009 and remains at $7.25/hr.

I asked Trump's nominee for Treasury if we should raise it.

His response?

"No sir."

Never joined Meta, but friends still send me Insta reels I can’t watch. Makes me wonder: how hard will Instagram tank when folks can’t download/crop TikToks to upload as reels after next week? Guess originality’s about to be really tested.

The Internet is so good for stuff like mutual aid and keep people informed amid crisis. Like, when I feel despair--and these days I often do--it's a small encouragement to be reminded that when we are proximal to suffering, we are capable of extraordinary generosity.
