Interior Sec Doug Burgum appeared at a House hearing this morning while the Trump admin prepares radical plans to sell off public lands. He wants to let his billionaire buddies in the oil, gas & mining industries exploit our national parks. This is a disaster for the planet.

16 of Trump’s 26 day one executive orders were ripped straight from the pages of Project 2025. But sure, let’s believe Trump when he says “I have nothing to do with Project 2025.”

We sued the Trump admin to get access to their secret contract on Trump's White House Ballroom project. The findings? Nothing but anonymity for billionaires and corporate donors. Hiding the money trail is critical for Trump's schemes.

Trump's secret contract for his vanity Ballroom has finally been reveled. His administration is claiming that this project has no taxpayer expense. That's a damn lie. We're paying for all of it. Our Democracy Advocate Jon Golinger explains how.

The bedroom on the DHS private jet is nicer than the bedrooms in many working Americans' homes. This is an unnecessary, disgusting misuse of our taxpayer dollars. There is no feasible explanation as to why ANY public official would need this level of luxury.

Yesterday, Kristi Noem told the Senate that DHS's $220 MILLION taxpayer funded TV ad was competitively bid. Today, she told the House it was a no-bid contract. She completely contradicted herself. How is the public supposed to trust a “leader" who lies under oath?

WTF! American Airlines threw 8 Black men off one of their flights. Watch this insane video of what happened. This is racist discrimination. That’s why we & @OuttenGolden are suing American Airlines on behalf of 3 passengers.

According to Miller: an American-made doll costs more but is better due to high regulatory standards. Also according to Miller: American dolls will be more affordable due to regulation cuts. Apparently, MAGA's promise to Americans is crappier products at higher costs.

We filed an FTC complaint against Casey Means for not consistently disclosing that she has received payments for promoting WeNatal. Sen. Murphy brought this conflict of interest to light. Congress must not confirm this wellness influencer as Surgeon General.

Out of approximately 4,000 yearly truck accidents, only 17 were caused by non-US citizens. A new nonsensical Trump rule barring these legal immigrants from getting commercial drivers licenses is based on nothing but prejudice. We are asking the court to strike down this illegal & discriminatory rule.

Today 1,000 survivors of climate disasters are calling on the DOJ to investigate the fossil fuel industry. They know Big Oil fans the flames of climate change every day with their greed, lies, and refusal to change. Climate disasters aren’t natural disasters. They're crimes.

Sen. Murphy called out Surgeon General nominee Casey Means for not properly disclosing that she has received payments for promoting certain health products. Rather than defend herself, Means attacked the Senator's staff. This isn't surprising, but it's pretty damning.

Project 2025 author Vought doesn't get to decide how congressionally appropriated funds are used. His OMB is scamming Americans & took down a public tracker to hide the evidence. Taxpayers deserve to know how our money is being spent. We sued to get this website back.

Yet another Trump nominee is refusing to say he would put country before president. Newsflash: Trump is the most lawless president of our lifetimes. The last thing DHS needs is another Trump lackey with no regard for the rule of law.

Meta will pocket $15 billion from one new tax break in Trump's budget. That is more money than the federal government spends annually on childcare. Trump's budget is filled with tax breaks for wealthy corporations while screwing over American families. It's disgusting.
