Senate Republicans took a major step toward enacting President Donald Trump’s tax cut agenda and increasing the debt ceiling that could inject a small degree of certainty into financial markets roiled by the president’s tariff policies.

Can't be there today, but I support 💯 Donald Trump and Elon Musk think this country belongs to them. They're taking everything they can get their hands on & daring the world to stop them. On April 5th, we're taking to the streets nationwide to say: Hands Off! #HandsOff #April5

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

Here I react to the shameful encounter between American leaders and media and the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

If your representative is dodging in-person town halls, call them out! Tag them and demand they face their constituents.

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Gutting NIH funding won't just hurt research for cures and access to clinical trials. It'll make us less safe and less competitive. While Donald Trump and RFK, Jr. try to turn their backs on the world's best scientists, China is waiting to take our place.

As Starmer smarms Trump, @johnsipher.bsky.social and I have launched our own UK-USA collaboration: a think piece on how the theatrics of Trump picking fights with allies may well be accompanied by quieter reining in of intelligence cooperation with Washington. foreignpolicy.com/2025/02/27/t...

now eagerly awaiting these installments every Saturday - the current situation as a non-servile American press would have covered it happening overseas

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
