Russell Vought is Trump’s architect for the oligarchy.

As Budget Director, his goal will be to dismantle critical programs like Medicaid to provide huge tax breaks to Elon Musk and other billionaires.

Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and demand they vote NO.

Elon Musk, the richest man on earth, is dismantling USAID, which feeds the poorest children on earth.

This is oligarchy at its worst.

Musk’s actions are not only immoral and unconstitutional, they are counterproductive to our standing in the world.

Elon Musk spent $277 million to elect Donald Trump President.

Since Election Day, he has become $154 billion richer.

Not a bad return on his investment.

Let’s talk about people who make our country proud.

Thank you to the L.A. firefighters and emergency personnel for putting their lives on the line to protect their communities.

These are the heroes and heroines who make our country great.

Thanks for all you do.

Suing the press into submission sets an incredibly dangerous precedent.

If major media outlets succumb to intimidation from the Trump administration, the First Amendment is in serious danger.

We need an independent press that reports the truth without fear of retribution.

Oligarchy.

Authoritarianism.

Kleptocracy.

That is the state of America today.

I will do everything I can to make sure that we stand up, fight back, maintain our democracy, and create and economy that works for all people, not just Elon Musk.

Authoritarianism is intimidating media, curtailing dissent & undermining our 1st Amendment.

Trump has sued ABC, CBS, Meta and the Des Moines Register for comments that offended him. His FCC is now "investigating" PBS and NPR.

Democracy is not negotiable. We WILL fight back.

Honest conservatives, and there still are some, tell us they believe in “limited government” & the free flow of ideas.

If they are sincere, they must now fight to protect freedom of speech, the First Amendment and the Constitution. Together, we must oppose authoritarianism.

We are living in a dangerous and unprecedented moment in American history.

I’m getting a lot of calls from people who are not only upset about what’s happening, but are wondering how we best go forward.

Here are my thoughts:

0 donations from pharma CEOs.

0 donations from Wall St. CEOs.

0 donations from oil company CEOs.

8 million from working people giving $27 at a time.

I am very proud of that fact.

When Trump fires the most pro-union General Counsel in the National Labor Relations Board's history & illegally removes a member of the NLRB, he isn't a champion of the working class.

He is a champion of corporate greed and union busting.

Let's not forget that Trump -- who believes that climate change is "a hoax" -- went to his Big Oil friends looking for campaign contributions.

Outrageous.

We are fighting for the future of this planet. We must have the courage to take on the greed of the fossil fuel industry.

The US faces a massive housing crisis. 800,000 Americans are homeless; millions are paying 50-60% of their limited incomes on housing.

And now, unscrupulous speculators & landlords in LA are taking advantage of a natural disaster by illegally raising rents by 300%. Outrageous.

The struggle of our time is between a ruling class that defends greed, oligarchy & authoritarianism against a progressive movement that believes in a vibrant democracy and economic, racial & environmental justice. It’s a struggle that, for our nation’s future, we must not lose.

Better health coverage?

If Canadians became U.S. citizens they would lose their free health care, pay nearly three times more for their prescription drugs, and many of them wouldn’t be able to get coverage at all.

Something tells me they won’t be interested.

CBS may be reaching a legal settlement with Trump because he didn't like how a campaign interview with Kamala was edited. Really? If CBS caves, the belief that we have an independent media protected by the First Amendment is undermined. CBS: stand tall. Support the Constitution.

In the coming months, our job is not just to respond to every absurd statement that Trump makes. That is what the Trump world wants us to do. He wants to define the parameters of debate and have us live within his world. We should not fall into that trap.

The 7 leading Republican billionaires contributed over $1 billion to Republican candidates in the 2024 cycle.

The 7 leading Democrats contributed $245 million.

When billionaires buy elections, we are living in an oligarchy, not a democracy. We must overturn Citizens’ United.
