Eugenic policies like ugly laws are coming back in vogue. From the Trump administration to mayors across America and the political spectrum, too many feel it is ok to create policies that result in disabled people being institutionalized, homeless, or dead. prismreports.org/2025/11/13/e...

Dodgers' Kiké Hernández is right—no one should be terrorized in their community.

The Trump administration slashed the Department of Education's workforce by nearly 50%—this is a direct attack on 50 million students. @pbshoemaker.bsky.social breaks down the numbers behind these cuts:

President Trump and his family have taken home over $1.8 billion in cash and gifts since Election Day. See the live tracker at TrumpsTakeCounter.org

As American families struggle with rising costs, President Trump and members of his family are raking in millions of dollars—and the number is only growing. Check out our new tracker to see how Trump is using the office of the presidency to his financial benefit: https://ampr.gs/47nd5eE

Here's a good short vid on the subject.

I wrote about the Corporate Power Reset—a brilliant act of legal judo that uses Citizens United’s own reasoning to flip the table. open.substack.com/pub/clayjak/...

The evidence is clear: Donald Trump's politically-motivated Justice Department is LYING to federal judges. That changes the way our courts work. Read more: www.americanprogress.org/article/does...

Higher Obamacare Prices Become Public in a Dozen States Here are some examples of the price increases under the Affordable Care Act -- unless Republicans act to stop the subsidies from expiring. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/h...

The plan to beat Citizen's United is simple—it relies on corporate law that's existed for centuries.

We’ve lived 15 years under Citizens United, watching billionaires and corporations shape democracy with their wallets. Reform once seemed impossible. But now, a group in Montana is asking a radical question: What if states simply stopped granting corporations the power to spend in politics?

Wherever this Ravens game goes today, just know that we have a Vorhees playing on the offensive line in Spooky Season. You’re welcome, World.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Halloween trick-or-treaters may be coming home empty-handed thanks to Trump's tariff war.

Americans need to look no further than Trump's own federal oil and gas program to know that he is turning a blind eye to a massive source of waste, fraud, and corruption. And deeming it all 'essential' while the government is shutdown. Classic. Read more: www.americanprogress.org/article/the-...

Conversion therapy is discredited junk science that endangers kids. SCOTUS might greenlight it anyway. CAP's @hvnorrisphd.bsky.social breaks down the case for @USAToday.com: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2025/10/08/supreme-court-gay-conversion-therapy-trans-rights/86549177007/

This is what every Democratic state needs to do, tell its state university leaders that they will lose all state appropriations if they sign the compact. Take the decision out of feckless college administrators’ hands.

@neeratanden.bsky.social calls out Republicans: It is the opposite of common sense to RAISE prices in the middle of a cost of living crisis.

@neeratanden.bsky.social fact-checks the Republican argument that Democrats' plan gives health care subsidies to "illegal aliens." Spoiler alert: It's a huge lie.

My Reddit AMA (ask me anything) on CAP's plan to break Citizens United starts at 11:30am ET! See you in r/politics!

Small point about the coverage of Hegseth’s stupid convening: Trump has not “renamed” the Department of Defense something else. He *calls* it that. If I started calling the president “Adolf,” one would not say that I had “renamed him Adolf.” He has no more authority to rename DOD than I do him.

Trump is spinning all kinds of lies to distract you from the fact that he's making billionaires richer at the expense of the American people.

As President Donald Trump continues his campaign to win a Nobel Peace Prize, Americans are broadly skeptical. A Washington Post-Ipsos poll finds 76 percent of Americans say he doesn’t deserve to win it.

Family separation is back under Trump. Just CNN alone found more than 100 American children left stranded after ICE took their parents. Here’s just one story… Meet Isaac

Utah Department of Health and Human Services officials say people may have been exposed to measles at a Chick-fil-A in Cache County.

Running through West Baltimore this morning (it’s beautiful out right now btw) and seeing so many little municipal construction and improvement projects and personal-scale ones, too. Curbs, playgrounds, houses, drains. I’m gonna hold on to that.

Intimidating companies and demanding they pay millions of dollars to avoid government retaliation is not normal. We shouldn’t accept the office of the presidency being leveraged as a weapon against the media. @schiff.senate.gov explains:

@schiff.senate.gov is right. What we’re seeing take place across the country–families ripped apart, communities divided, racial profiling greenlit by judges–is not who we should strive to be as a nation.

With American democracy at a crossroads, @schiff.senate.gov is working to strengthen America's system of checks and balances. Join us at 2:30 p.m. ET for a conversation with Sen. Schiff moderated by CAP's @neeratanden.bsky.social. RSVP:

Delighted that USA Today published my opinion piece today on @americanprogress.bsky.social's plan to undo Citizens United through state corporation laws.

Do they realize that just because they delete it doesn't mean it disappears?
