"America First" Budget Is Unworthy of Our Nation This is a "shock and awe" budget, designed to dazzle and confuse Trump's political enemies and the general public. When Republicans on Capitol Hill dial back a few of its more extreme cuts, as is almost inevitable, the public will be expected to sigh with relief. That would be a mistake, since the result will almost certainly remain draconian.

The GOP Health Bill Is an Assault on People of Color Paul Ryan and other Republicans want to replace today's Medicare program with a program of federally-subsidized vouchers to purchase insurance from the private market. These vouchers would quickly become incapable of purchasing equivalent coverage, given the typical rates of medical inflation, and Medicare recipients would be dependent on the inefficient, rapacious, and confusing world of private insurance for their care.

Resign, Jeff Sessions. It's Not About Russia, It's About Justice Jeff Sessions is a man out of time, a holdover from an age when some people believed that certain groups were exempt from the rule of law. He may be out of time in another way, too: His days as Attorney General might be numbered. Recusal is not enough. Jeff Sessions has shown that he is not fit to serve as Attorney General. In the name of equal justice for all, he must resign.

Trump Offers "A Nation of Miracles." Your Move, Democrats The speech hewed to themes laid out by Trump political adviser Stephen Bannon at the Conservative Political Action Conference. "The center core of what we believe," Bannon said, "(is) that we're a nation with an economy... a culture and a reason for being." Democrats undoubtedly walked away disappointed. It looks like they're going to have to learn to fight for themselves.

CPAC and the DNC: A Party Is Not a Movement The Democratic party won't change until it's confronted with a strong movement determined to change it. That's why it's encouraging to see progressives move to take control of the party at the state and local level. That, along with a concerted program of independent activism, could revolutionize politics.

Principles for Progressives to Follow on Trump's Ties to Russia We deserve the truth. But until we have the truth about Russia's ties to Trump -- from reputable, public and trustworthy sources -- let's fight President Trump with the weapons we already have at hand: the weapons of truth, accountability and justice. Those weapons will never hurt the hands that hold them.

Paul Ryan Is Fundraising Off Healthcare While Working to Kill It For Millions Ryan and the House Republicans want to phase out Medicare in its current form and replace it with a voucher program, a move that would effectively gut these payment rules and lead to higher incomes for medical specialists. Ryan is determined to raise as much money as possible to fuel his own rise, and his party's, no matter how many people's health may suffer in the process.

A Big Day for Trump's Budget Pick, Social Security -- and Millionaires As OMB Director, it would be Mulvaney's responsibility to explain the financial implications of budget choices to the president. That makes Mulvaney's habit of describing Social Security as a "Ponzi scheme" especially disturbing. It reveals a basic lack of financial literacy.

Steve Mnuchin Is No Joe Kennedy and He's Unfit for His New Gig Assuming that his confirmation proceeds as expected, Mnuchin and Trump -- together with Mnuchin's ex-Goldman Sachs colleagues -- will work with a Republican-led House and Senate that shares a basic antipathy to banking regulation and has increasingly diverted Wall Street campaign contributions from the Democrats.

We Have Not Yet Begun to Fight Tom Price Tom Price believes that government can't do anything right. He's wrong. He believes government doesn't need to care for the poor, people with disabilities and the elderly, or manage the economy, protect our health, or keep its covenant with working Americans when they retire.

Trump Stands Up for Bad Bankers On February 3, President Trump signed executive actions rolling back financial regulations that were put into place after Congress passed the Dodd-Frank banking reform bill in 2010. With these actions, Trump has let the American people know whose side he's on, and it's not theirs. Millions of people are now more likely to be robbed of their savings, their homes and their retirement security.

Trump's Supreme Court Pageant: a Silly Show to Fill a Stolen Seat We're talking about a seat on a divided Supreme Court, not a year as a "goodwill ambassador," and the nation is entering a period of chaos and challenge. Trump's erratic behavior, his sweeping and ill-framed executive orders, and the firing of acting Attorney General Sally Yates have provoked a crisis of confidence and governance; a full-blown constitutional crisis is probably not far behind.

Will the Senate's "Good Republicans" Reject a Dishonest Nominee? There's compelling evidence to show that Steve Mnuchin, Donald Trump's pick for Secretary of the Treasury, lied to the Senate in both written and verbal testimony. Senate Republicans seem to be taking these offenses in stride. None of the GOP's "independents" and "mavericks" have indicated that they will oppose his nomination.

Five Groups of Americans Who'll Get Shafted Under Trump's Hiring Freeze The overall impact of Trump's hiring freeze is clear: it shows a reckless disregard for the health, safety, and well-being of the American people. Trump's just getting started. His memo instructs the Director of the Office of Management and Budget to come up with a broader long-term plan for reducing the federal workforce through attrition.

Marc Short: Koch Dark-Money Operative Is Trump's Liaison to Congress Short isn't really a policy wonk. He's an operative in Republican and right-wing circles. After serving as finance director for Oliver North's failed senatorial campaign, Short reportedly helped Pence run the House Republican Conference, managed the Reagan Ranch, and was a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security under Bush.

Booker And The Other Big-Pharma Democrats Have No Excuse. Here's The Vote That Proves It. If Booker and the other Democrats are so concerned about drug safety, why did they vote for the 21st Century Cures Act? Sold as a path to innovation, the bill was actually a massive giveaway to drug companies that wanted an end-run around safety regulations.

The Dullest -- and Most Shocking -- Moment in Trump's Press Conference It's hard to turn away from Trump's abusive treatment of the press, or his poor grasp of national security, or those long periods when his rambling turns to near-incoherence. All of those qualities were on conspicuous display in Wednesday's press conference.

But millions of people were excited by the Sanders campaign. As the Trump era begins, millions more are starting to see that real resistance must be affirmative and real change must come from below.

Through the GOP, the Wealthy Are Waging War on the Old The war on the elderly has two primary fronts: Medicare and Social Security. As a candidate, Donald Trump distinguished himself from other Republicans by insisting that he didn't want to cut either one. Once elected, however, Trump nominated rabidly anti-Medicare partisan Tom Price to become Secretary of Health and Human Services.
