Hell YES! Y’all are flooding the Capitol Switchboard so hard it’s overwhelmed—this is people power in action! 💥

Here’s what to do next: Call your reps’ district offices instead. It’s easy—just Google their name + “district office number.”

Pass it on. Keep that pressure blazing.

Russ Vought, the unelected mastermind behind Project 2025, wants to cancel funding Congress already approved using shady budget tricks. His goal is simple: erase coequal branches and give Trump total control. Every member of Congress should be alarmed.

What kind of country do we want for our kids?

One where every child gets a quality education, or one where the wealthy hoard tax breaks while schools crumble, teachers leave, and kids lose vital support?

The rich don’t need more—our children do.

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

My rural county will lose millions if Trump School Defunding goes through.

Rural, suburban, and urban communities will all suffer if Trump guts federal education funding.

Time to stand and fight for all of our kids' future!

Lee Zeldin was on Fox today talking about clawing back money lawfully appropriated to organizations by legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act simply bc Trump doesn't like it. This is an especially egregious example of how Trumpers have redefined "fraud" to just mean "spending I disagree with."

Bessent has enabled Musk and his DOGE minions to interfere with Treasury infrastructure that’s needed to distribute roughly $6 trillion in public funds each year, including Social Security and Medicare benefits, tax refunds, payments to government workers and more!

Why Haven’t House Democrats Moved to Impeach Scott Bessent?
There’s mounting evidence that Donald Trump’s Treasury secretary is not telling the truth about DOGE’s infiltration of the federal payments system.

Maddow: I think it is a bad mistake to let Joy Reid walk out the door. It is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two nonwhite hosts in primetime, both of our nonwhite hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Phang on the weekend. I do not defend it.
