The Pentagon has NEVER passed an audit. If we’re serious about tackling government waste, that’s where we start. I spoke with Dylan Hedtler-Gaudette from POGO about how defense contractors are ripping us off and how we can hold them accountable to protect our tax dollars.

Why is everything getting so damn expensive? One major reason: corporate monopolies are squeezing consumers. This week on my podcast, I’m joined by Barry Lynn of Open Markets to dig into how corporate greed and consolidation drive up costs.

One of the areas that I have seen the greatest change with the MAGA movement and the Trump administration has been the attack on LGBTQIA+ rights.

Fortunately, many straight allies in elected roles have defended the LGBTQ+ community, but we need organization like never before – and fortunately, we have that with many groups that advocate for equality. On top of that list is the Human Rights Campaign, the most prominent organization fighting for equality and led by a fighter of national recognition.

Did you know that domestic workers are more than three times as likely to be living in poverty than other workers?

Had a great conversation with Pete Maysmith. Together, we’re pushing for bold action to protect our planet and our future.

Why is nobody talking about this? The Big Ugly Law shortens the life of the Social Security Fund by an entire year. There’s also a $500 billion cut to Medicare. I believe we should strengthen these vital programs, not gut them!

My take on Trump’s DC takeover: it is an attempt to distract from the Big Ugly law, (millions will lose healthcare) and the Epstein files. It’s also a fascist takeover from a wannabe dictator. We must make both points clear.

I had a great chat with Jimmy Williams, General President of the International Union of Painters and Allied Trades, my union of more than three decades!

I had a great conversation with @davidsirota on a range of issues, including how Congressional Republican's Big Ugly Bill will hurt not only our constituents, but their own by ripping away healthcare and SNAP for millions.
