The treasurer’s office quickly removed the records from its website. #moleg #mogov

Trump administration begins refunding more than $166bn in tariffs Claims system launches months after supreme court ruled Trump had no legal authority to impose tariffs

So you and I and everyone else are in effect now refunding American corporations for import tariffs, although we paid for most of them in the form of higher prices — which they won’t now lower because they have monopoly power to keep prices high.

The Art of the Deal.

One man put us in this deadly quagmire. One man is wrecking our economy. One man’s immigration agents have terrorized our communities. One man has ridden roughshod over our system of government.

We said "No Kings" 250 years ago. Congress must say "No Kings" today.

If not, they must be replaced.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

The President of the United States is threatening to commit war crimes and wipe out a "whole civilization" — all because he started a disastrous war of his own making and had no plan and no strategy for how to end it.

This is abhorrent, and the American people do not support this.

Donald Trump just threatened to unilaterally destroy an entire civilization.

Is there genuinely no limit to what Republicans will allow this unhinged, unwell man to do?

Congress must come back to Washington to rein in this dangerous behavior immediately.

So pro-life means jailing women who miscarry but shrugging when the deranged president says “a whole civilization will die tonight.” Do I have that right?

I've warned for years that Republicans planned to reroute federal family planning dollars to crisis pregnancy centers—groups that won't even talk about birth control.

I re-upped that prediction just last week. A day later, this Politico piece dropped.

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion.

Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025.

Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Complaints to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau doubled in 2025.

But under Russ Vought's tenure heading the CFPB, the agency has been gutted.

It's now easier than ever for shady banks, lenders, and credit card companies to pick your pocket.

And it's all because of the Trump regime.
