Who is Peter Thiel? Apparently he is very private and doesn’t like attention. We can change that can’t we? I mean, the dude wants to take over the world with his “network states” society. I’m not going to shut up about him and it’s time to expose his charade.

The extent to which Trump is weaponizing antisemitism to both attack his political enemies & protect himself from accusations that he is a antisemitic is astounding. Yet, way too many people, including Jews, fall for these outrageous tactics. People who see what Trump’s doing, need to CALL IT OUT.

Just a hunch, but I think we’ll be hearing more about this story…soon. Oh, and Elon has all of our information. That’s what he was after.

Why did Congressional Republicans jam through an unpopular budget with the largest Medicaid cuts in history? It could be because nearly 70% of them would financially benefit from the bill's extension of Trump's tax cuts for the rich. Reverse Robin Hood.

Terrifying and essential article by @adamserwer.bsky.social in The Atlantic. Apparently it's not enough for T**** to create a new recession; he also wants to plunge us into the new Dark Ages. Peachy.

Several guests who attended Trump's crypto dinner this week said they attended with the explicit intent of influencing him and U.S. financial regulations. Trump is selling access to our government to the highest bidder while lining his own pockets. It's all out in the open.

Billionaire tax cuts are a policy choice. Cutting healthcare for millions is a policy choice. Taking from the poor and giving to the rich is a policy choice. Make no mistake: Trump and the GOP are choosing to do this.

Just saw Michele Norris for the first time on The Last Word, subbing for @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com . She was great! (The Boston Globe reporter didn't know enough about the international student issue, though.) Too bad Michele isn't on Bluesky yet!

Bob Fine and I thought up another name for this horrid reconciliation bill passed by the House: the Big Ugly Trump Tax Scam bill. Works for us. BTW, how did all of the non-revenue measures in the BUTTS bill get past the parliamentarian? Asking for a friend.

Throwback Thursday… At President Biden’s final State of the Union address, he backed the entire Republican Party into a corner, forcing them to deny that they were planning to slash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid—just to hand billionaires a trillion-dollar tax cut. He knew!
