Remember that every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.
He feigns strength, but the reality is that he's operating from a place of weakness.

Tony Gilroy said it well: this is a siege, not a skirmish. This regime's assault on free speech with the FCC's push to fire Kimmel is just the opening shot. Artists are amongst the first targeted, but they will not be the last.

The Trump regime using the FCC to silence critics. This is a true violation of free speech - using the government to suppress speech.
And it also vindicates what Kimmel said. The MAGA movement is callously exploiting Kirk's shooting to gain further political power.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

What's Next in the Fight? · Hands Off
On April 5, millions of Americans took to the streets—in big cities and small towns—to remind Donald Trump and Elon Musk that our democracy doesn’t belong to billionaires—it belongs to the people.
This wasn’t just a one-off event. It was the start of something bigger.
**Join Hands Off! this Wednesday (4/16) at 8 PM EST/5 PM PST** for a nationwide call to find out how we can build on the resounding success on April 5th and keep the pressure on Trump, Musk, and their enablers in Congress.

5 million out in one day. Maybe now the media will stop falsely claiming how there's no "mass resistance" like there was in 2017.
Corporate media may have stopped resisting, but the people haven't. And we never will.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.
