By now, we've all seen the video of Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) being forcibly removed and handcuffed for asking a question during Kristi Noem's press conference. But what Noem said just moments before the video was taken is "classic authoritarian red-baiting," points out @davidcorn.bsky.social.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

The last time there was this much on-again off-again turmoil over tariffs in America, we revolted against the king over it — and won.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

I’m not saying everyone needs to do this. But @booker.senate.gov figured out the biggest best thing HE could do right now. And then he did it. Everyone needs to do that.

Donald Trump and JD Vance lured Zelensky to the White House under the false premise that they intended to help Ukraine, so that they could lecture a desperate man and further gaslight the world into thinking they actually care. Watch the entire exchange here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXIJ...

To be clear, I believe that the US should be thanking Zelenskyy and Ukraine for standing up and defending freedom. They’re the ones bearing this burden in lives and disruption. It’s only the small and insecure who think they should be thanking us.

Your tips are still getting taxed. Your overtime is still getting taxed. Your Social Security is still getting taxed. Trump and Republicans have changed NOTHING — NONE of those changes were in the resolution they passed. Don’t let them lie to you.

Let's be clear. All these tech billionaires like Bezos and Musk and Zuckerberg didn't become right wingers because of some ideological awakening -- or because of "wokeness." It's because they're BILLIONAIRES and they want to avoid taxes. That's it. It's the MONEY.

The central tactic of authoritarianism is to try to convince you that you have no power and that you should just live in despair. You do have power. You do have agency. You can make a difference. You don’t have to do it all by yourself. Banding together is the way forward.

Here in Illinois, ten years ago we saw the consequences of a rampant ideological gutting of government. It genuinely harmed people. Our citizens hated it. Trust me – I was elected based in part on just how much they hated it.
