Did you hear trump is eliminating taxes on overtime? Not so fast.

1) it's temporary
2) it's only 20% of your overtime capped at $20,000
3) they're changing the rules to make it easier for employers to not even pay overtime!

As always ...trump is lying & cheating and you're falling for it

When I argue that much of the Republican Party has forgotten that Trump was president in 2020, I mean that much of the Republican Party really has forgotten that Trump was president in 2020.

It really wasn't that long ago, but here we are.

If it seems like the federal agents caught in the middle of chaotic immigration-related arrests don't know what they're doing, that could be because that type of work is not what they are trained to do.

The president of the U.S. appears to be improving his own health through access to great medical care and great medical science. That's what he gets. Simultaneously, his administration is doing so much to hurt regular Americans' opportunity to achieve those same good health outcomes the same way.

Mary Boyle, a commissioner of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission who Donald Trump tried to fire, explains to Rachel Maddow that product safety has never been a partisan matter. No one wants their beer cooler to chop off their finger. So what is Trump's problem?

Opinion | Elon Musk’s Legacy: DOGE’s Construction of a Surveillance State (Gift Article) DOGE is rapidly assembling a sprawling monitoring system, the foundation of many authoritarian regimes.

Elon Musk may or may not fulfill his promise to step back from DOGE.

But his legacy is already clear: He is assembling a sprawling domestic surveillance system — the likes of which we have never seen in the United States.

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.
