The cruelty is the point.

Has there ever been a week in America when more things were done just to hurt people and score political points?

Over 100 refugees who were scheduled to be resettled in Indiana have seen their flights canceled in the last two days. Refugees make our state stronger, and the bipartisan support for U.S. refugee resettlement has been a pillar of our nation for over a century.

What up surprise said no one ever
16 of the 26 Day One executive orders signed by Trump were ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025.

Russ Vought, an architect of Project 2025, testifies before the Senate today as Trump's OMB nominee.

Project 2025 was always the MAGA agenda.

Trump's Day One executive orders were a huge gift to to the Big Pharma, Big Tech, Big Oil, and private prison companies who bankrolled his campaign.

The big losers? Ordinary Americans desperate for lower costs.

Remember: The GOP uses dangerous smears against trans people, immigrants, and people of color to deflect attention from the near record share of the nation’s income and wealth now going to the richest Americans.

Don't let them get away with it.

Just days before his inauguration, Donald Trump became the world's newest crypto billionaire by peddling a worthless meme coin to his followers.

It's the latest reminder that the entire crypto industry is a giant Ponzi scheme — and that Trump won't do a damn thing to regulate it.

Don't forget that just hours before he took office, Trump became a crypto billionaire by shilling a worthless meme coin.

And of course he didn't divest from any of his other businesses.

Is it any wonder that ethics are out the window in the second Trump administration?
Trump has repealed a Biden executive order mandating ethical behavior from administration employees.

The order told federal workers to:
-Not accept gifts from lobbyists
-Not take other bribes
-Not lobby for two years after government work
-And more

Now those rules are gone.

Billionaires Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, and Elon Musk all had a front-row seat to Trump's inauguration.

Fascism backed by Big Money is one of the most dangerous of all political alliances.

We saw it in 1930s Germany, and we're seeing it again today.

Remember, today especially, that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people." Keep the faith. Keep up the fight.

Who gave $1 million to Trump’s inaugural fund?

-Each of the 5 biggest tech firms
-The CEOs of Uber & OpenAI
-Auto giants Toyota, Ford, & GM
-Drugmaker behemoth Pfizer

Corporate America is desperate to kiss the ring.

There's nothing they won’t do for a tax break.
