Why this story is important:
217 House Republicans voted to take food away from struggling families’ kitchen tables and healthcare from seniors — all so Elon Musk and his billionaire buddies can get a tax cut. And again, a win is not a mandate – the bill moved ahead with exactly one extra vote for the majority.
Why this story is important:
The tariffs on Canada and Mexico are set to go into effect next week. When you visit the grocery store, plan to pay more because of Trump.
Why this story is important:
Heroes come in all forms. On Tuesday, 21 civil servants resigned rather than dismantle critical public services. Over time, it has become clear that Elon Musk and his DOGE staffers lack a basic understanding of government functions, and the resignation of these civil servants will further slow their progress.
Why this story is important:
Kamala Harris was not only honored for her service at the NAACP Image Awards, but she used her platform to give Americans hope. Watch her speech if you need something to feel a little bit better right now.
Why this story is important:
Elon Musk learned the consequences of moving too fast without understanding simple basics of government functions, like chain of command. This was another attempt to terrorize and demean federal workers into quitting. It also marks one of the first public rifts between Elon Musk and the White House.
