The Big Fucked Up Bill, is NOT a spending bill. It’s a government restructuring bill, that consolidates power in the executive, defunds critical services to the point of absurdity, removes the power of our courts to enforce the law and dramatically curtails voting rights. It’s Project 2025

That any of us have to care about the messy breakup of these two massive narcissists — and that they both individually wield such massive power — is an indictment of our political system and further proves the poisonous influence of Big Money on our democracy.

Trump's proposed data-sharing deal with Palantir would be an appalling attack on our privacy. It goes hand-in-hand with his attacks on habeas corpus. Liberals and conservatives should agree on this: we don't want mass surveillance or erosions of our civil liberties.

Interesting amicus brief filed in the tariff case: “Tariffs, unlike the foreign sanctions explicitly authorized under IEEPA, are taxes paid by Americans. They fall squarely within Congress's taxing power and, under the Constitution, require the explicit consent of the people's representatives.”

According to AP, the typical pay package for S&P 500 CEOs rose to $17M last year — an increase of 9.7%. At half of the companies surveyed, it would take the median worker 192 years to make what the CEO did in one year. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

America IS losing its longstanding science pre-eminence, because it’s hard to build labs and research projects, which are all too easy to destroy as Trump is gleefully doing. Why would scientists put up with this? We are willfully driving away the LeBrons of the science world. #MomSky

Our institutions were never going to save us; they’ve just expanded the demographics of who they’re failing. I’m seeing a lot of people radicalized for the first time as the scales fall from their eyes. The key is not to become cynical, but to use that energy to liberate one another.

For 40 years, Americans have lived shorter lives than people in other rich countries. For 10 years, that's been rapidly getting worse. New research: in 2022-2023, there were 1.5 million "missing Americans," who died--but wouldn't have, if America didn't have such uniquely high death rates.
