“States’ rights” apparently don’t apply when Trump wants control.

“One Big Beautiful Bill”? Try one big, bold-faced lie. They swore this mess wouldn’t add to the deficit…but the nonpartisan budget office says otherwise. $2.4 TRILLION added to the deficit—and for what? Tax cuts for the rich.

The cost of megabill perks: Only during Trump's term would Americans enjoy benefits like no taxes on overtime. It wouldn't be until 2029 that voters feel the sting of "pay-fors."

Today is May 8, celebrated as Victory in Europe Day. So of course Trump shares an image of the flag raising at Iwo Jima.

The Trump administration’s foreign aid cuts have crippled U.S. efforts to support earthquake relief efforts. But that’s not the only damage they will do.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

I don’t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes don’t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won. This will be appealed, but make no mistake: they’re trying to steal this election.

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.

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

Trump announced a bunch of tariffs yesterday. Basically, everybody but Russia. But then there is 15-30 % for everybody. But Lesotho? Lesotho got 50% tariffs. Just by a super coincidence, seems like Starlink is trying to get a contract in Lesotho and having some difficulties. Clearly unrelated.

There are no tariffs being put on Russia. Hmmm

The fact that Trump doesn’t know what he’s signing or what policies he’s implementing is a clear sign that he’s not the one in charge calling the shots. This is what it looks like when the presidency is auctioned off to oligarchs. www.publicnotice.co/p/elon-musk-...

Today, I’m launching Save Our Schools – a campaign to bring people together and push back against Donald Trump's attacks on public education. We're fighting for an America where it's not just the kids of billionaires who get a good education, but every kid in every community.

Wow. California State University, UC-Berkeley, UC-Davis, UC-San Diego and U of SF are ALL urging foreign-born students, faculty and staff to reconsider international travel because there's no telling whether the Trump administration will allow them to re-enter. www.desertsun.com/story/news/n...

youtu.be/XMUEhZbNc0Y?... This strikes me as a preamble to a military occupation of Greenland. If the US goes for it that's it - that's the end of NATO. Denmark bled for you in the Middle East and their thanks is annexation? Imperialist expansion against an ally. To fall so far, so quickly.
