Musk is lying when he says you’ll get more money from Social Security. What you will get from his band of juvenile tech bros is longer lines in person and on the phone. Actions speak louder than words.
Trump's shocking project to relocate federal agencies away from the National Capital Region is designed to dismantle the government itself. Let's stop them before they put the White House in Moscow to be closer to the home office.
Holding close the six souls who lost their lives one year ago today in Maryland's Francis Scott Key Bridge collaspe. May their memory be a blessing to all who loved them.
Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security are the magnificent achievements of American democracy. There's no way the American people will let Elon Musk and Trump's billionaire cabinet tear down what prior generations have built.
Trump is imposing an ultimatum on judges: agree with my bogus analysis of the law or face impeachment. Never has a judge been impeached over doctrinal differences—in other words, for doing their jobs. MAGA now wants to make sound legal analysis a high crime and misdemeanor.
Trump, do you want to set up a compensation fund for the 140 sworn police officers wounded by your J6 “patriots” too? Or is it just the criminals you’re proposing to pay reparations? Why should the taxpayers pay for the upkeep of your mercenary gang?
Trump says he's looking at setting up some sort of government "compensation fund" for the January 6 criminals that he pardoned
Trump's promising that Elon Musk won't break Social Security with his DOGE redesign. But this wouldn't be the first time the billionaire broke something he promised was unbreakable.
History shows a legislative strategy alone is not sufficient to defeat fascists and dictators. You need organized civil society fighting back along with persistent legislative defense of democratic institutions and programs.
Trump’s corporate state uses the White House lawn for a Tesla auto show, promotes Tesla stock on TV and hustles Trump deals globally. Americans can't afford groceries or medicine, but the president has turned the government into a moneymaking operation for MAGA billionaires.
Trump froze shipment of millions of dollars’ worth of food to hungry Americans, including 12 truckloads slated for Maryland. What do we tell hungry families? The president is spending billions on shocking military boondoggles but feeding the hungry is “government waste.”
15 years ago today, Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act to make health care more affordable for millions of Americans.   While Trump, Musk and MAGA wage war on Medicare & Medicaid, we’ll keep fighting for health care as a right, not a privilege.
Dr. Sarah Cooley is an acclaimed climate scientist who was unceremoniously sacked from NOAA by Trump and DOGE while conducting critical research to save our oceans. This MD-08 Local Hero is determined to use her expertise in service of the American people and our climate.
We rallied outside NOAA’s HQ in Silver Spring to defend facts & science, democracy & the rule of law. Trump & Elon Musk must reinstate the federal workers they illegally sacked from the agency. We're not letting NOAA go down—Congress & the people created it & we’ll defend it.
President Trump attacked the Department of Education and conjured up chaos for public servants eligible for loan forgiveness. But loan forgiveness remains intact, and Democrats are fighting to honor eligible public servants' careers and well-being.
