We really need to investigate this further, talk about preventing his taxing us $600Billion, then waste our money on his investments.! @katiephang.bsky.social @fahrenthold.bsky.social @lastword.msnbc.com @chrislhayes.bsky.social @marcelias.bsky.social @lincolnproject.us tinyurl.com/y9k2ju8d

Trump wants to use tariffs to tax US citizens w/out a legitimate tax bill. Tariff $$'s go into the Treasury & then can be used in Sovereign Wealth Fund (EO Feb 3rd). Discretionary funds HE would control/invest, Instead of paying down debt. @michaelslinden.bsky.social tinyurl.com/y9k2ju8d

But Anthony, He did try & also probably did team up with with at least one adversary... Notice there are tariffs against every country except Russia, North Korea, Cuba and Belarus were not included, probably because of their ties to Putin @scaramucci.bsky.social @georgetakei.bsky.social

As usual, we have to remember the fine art of projection mixed with a healthy dose of duplicity; Trump meant he was happy to be liberating us from our 401K's and other investments!

Senator Angus King: "I have to point out, Mr. Chairman, in the hour that we've been sitting here, investors in the United States stock market have lost two and a half trillion dollars."

Fox News propagandists are saying they aren't looking at their 401K's, and not to panic because a 'boom' is coming... That feels a lot like the 'light at the end of the tunnel' - it's really the headlamp of an on-coming train! I wonder how many Fox employees sold 'FOX' today?!

Calling on all Americans who want to elect a public school teacher and single father of two boys who will restore balance to Washington, fight for common sense solutions, and serve the American people, NOT special interests! #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory social.demcast.com/s/Qt8aLVYe

Now you've blown it; Musk will use his force to have the honesty of Grok reprogrammed to a 'party line' by Monday! 'These are not the facts you're looking for..' Ob-Elon-Kenobe @devincow.bsky.social @muellershewrote.com @georgetakei.bsky.social @wordswithsteph.bsky.social #DemVoice1 #DemCast

"The hospitalized children with the (Vit 'A') toxicity were all unvaccinated." "US HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy has centered his response to the outbreak on vitamin A, even suggesting in a Fox News interview that it could work “as a prophylaxis.”" Ignorance is dangerous! tinyurl.com/yj4a7xsy

America loves Gov. Tim Walz! Walz was enthusiastically welcomed by thousands in Fort Bend County — a diverse, fast-growing area of Houston, Texas. Former U.S. Rep. Beto O'Rourke also brought big energy and excitement to the rally, speaking about the future of the Democratic party, and…

What I might add regarding choosing leaders; TRump & R's have been attacking the intelligent, thoughtful & articulate as elitist & to resent them as though being smart means you aren't 'one of us'. We should ALL want leaders who are more ethical, smarter & more capable than us & worthy of trust!

A longer version of Rep. Larson (D-CT) speaking out against Elon Musk during DOGE hearing on 3/12/2025. Passionately attacking Musk for lack of transparency & lies... youtu.be/dkaIbeM_wsw

New @nbcnews.com poll April 2017: 59% of Democrats want to compromise with Trump, 33% say hold the line March 2025: 65% of Democrats say to hold the line against Trump, 32% want to compromise www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

A must hear; @chrislhayes.bsky.social @weissmann11.bsky.social @avindman.bsky.social @rhodesben.bsky.social @jeff-merkley.bsky.social @timothysnyder.bsky.social @wordswithsteph.bsky.social @marcelias.bsky.social @joycewhitevance.bsky.social @muellershewrote.bsky.social @governorwalz.mn.gov

Musk & DOGE have been lying & caught making errors in their 'transparency', now removing errors and making them harder to find... David Fahrenthold @fahrenthold.bsky.social makes it easy to understand how hard they are trying to baffle us with BS! @us-political-news.bsky.social @lastword.msnbc.com

United States Post Office to RIF 10,000 employees. 🛑

It only appears to be a 'stupid coup'. The authors of Project 2025, & those who support it, are quite clever & have planned its implementation for years. The 'stupid' perception is because TRump is a bumbling bombastic puppet, but he's still signing, ordering & doing everything they want!

@chrislhayes.bsky.social @mikenellis.bsky.social @muellershewrote.bsky.social @georgetakei.bsky.social @thebulwark.bsky.social @krassenstein.bsky.social @governorwalz.mn.gov @lastword.msnbc.com @timothysnyder.bsky.social @wordswithsteph.bsky.social @joycewhitevance.bsky.social Pls REPOST!

Wow, He's really following the NAZI playbook; Exaggerate, make ppl afraid & that you're the only solution, Check the ad during the speech; Hitler stopped most higher Educ & started pro-Hitler NAZI propaganda to school kids. "Free Kids Guide to TRump?" Indoctrination?! Please be afraid of this...

Oz is crazy! So because we can't find "..a nurse who will work in a nursing home", we end the requirement?! Tele-medicine or a Virtual Nurse can't hand out patient meds, & can't help during a 'Code-Blue' or other emergencies! Nursing homes w/o nurses; Sounds deadly..! @muellershewrote.bsky.social

'Alien Enemies Act'? Wow, who would've thought the US would be the place that NAZI Concentration camps or Japanese Internment camps would be implemented? To ALL my Repub friends out there; Are you beginning to see that THIS IS NOT US? As a nation, we risk losing everything, including our humanity!

Around 5pm tonight @joycewhitevance.bsky.social and I are going to be doing a Substack Live discussion. There will definitely be some dog talk—you won’t want to miss it! Subscribe here: weissmann.substack.com/subscribe

“It’s just the beginning of the playbook. This was the soft target.” Atul Gawande, a former senior leader at U.S.A.I.D., talks about watching Donald Trump and Elon Musk make the agency a guinea pig for the government-wide purge now under way.

And TRump thought his buddy was so popular... If this works, we should do this in the streets of Wash DC! ....or Mar a lago?!
