The main thing to remember about this Musk-Trump fight is that the Republican bill will bounce 16 million people off of Medicaid and collapse rural hospitals in order to give the biggest tax cut in history to people making more than four million bucks.

Look beyond Trump and Musk's public blowout to the bigger problem: the infiltration of Big Money in our politics. It has corrupted our democracy — creating a vicious cycle that funnels more wealth and power to those at the top while drowning out the needs of regular Americans.

When my family first landed in North America, my dad worked as a janitor. I'm thankful for labor leaders like David Huerta who look out for immigrant service workers. He will go down as a hero.

Trump can’t stand to be humiliated. This is what's driving his dictatorial moves. But he will overreach. He already has. And this overreach will ultimately be his undoing. As long as we keep our heads — and engage in peaceful civil disobedience. Be strong. Be safe.

Here’s what you need to know about what’s going on in Los Angeles. The state and city have the means to control the protests. Donald Trump is getting involved to intentionally make the situation more violent. And potentially to create a pretext for some sort of martial law.

Donald Trump’s deployment of the military in Los Angeles over the objection of California leaders is an abuse of power and a dangerous escalation. It’s what you would see in authoritarian states and it must stop. Americans have the right to speak out and peacefully protest.

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about “law and order,” it’s about creating chaos. Our National Guard should be used when absolutely necessary and when local law enforcement needs it— Not forced on our communities to intimidate citizens and inflame tensions Trump created in the first

Don’t be fooled. This “big, beautiful bill” will raise prices on most and cut and gut programs for working low income Americans all to give the fewer wealthiest a massive tax cut. This is wrong.

David Huerta is a US citizen, a labor leader, and an upstanding member of the Los Angeles community.   There is no reason that he should be in detention right now.   We're demanding answers. latimes.com/california/liv…

David Huerta, SEIU California President and a leading voice for California workers and communities, was injured, arrested and detained by federal officials. Chuck Schumer, Senator Alex Padilla, and I are demanding answers from the Trump Administration.

Trump thinks he's a king and that there are no limits on his power. But no, this is not how it works in America. We are a democracy and we have the right to stand up to Trump. This Saturday, we're showing up to nationwide peaceful protests against Trump's abuses of power. Text

You sent your troops here without fuel, food, water or a place to sleep. Here they are — being forced to sleep on the floor, piled on top of one another. If anyone is treating our troops disrespectfully, it is you Donald J. Trump.

Stephen it’s worse here than you can possibly imagine. Pandemonium. I didn’t think I’d live to see an America with so many thirsty doodles.

Trump is acting like a dictator—deploying the military against its own citizens, threatening the arrest of elected officials, charging peaceful political opponents like David Huerta on dubious charges because they expressed their 1st amendment rights. Speak up and speak

Nancy Pelosi is right. Donald Trump suggesting that he would support the arrest of California Governor Gavin Newsom should be alarming to everyone.

In America, the Constitution is king not Donald Trump. We have to keep showing up how we can and one way to do that is by attending the No Kings rallies this Saturday. Text No Kings to 63033 to find a protest near you.
