Devastated for my friends and colleagues in Poland, where once again the tack right to defeat the right strategy failed (as it reliably does) and has brought authoritarianism back when they fought so valiantly in 2022 to defeat it. 🧵

HAWLEY: Let's see the Trump chart. You don't think it's a little bit anomalous that Trump has so many more nationwide injunctions against him? KATE SHAW: A very plausible explanation you have to consider is that he's engaged in much more lawless activity than other presidents

Vought gets a little salty after Dana Bash plays the clip of him saying that he wants federal bureaucrats to be "in trauma," telling her "you cherrypicked the quote" (she literally just played the clip)

If someone says one thing and does another, if they are hypocritical in their criticisms, if they answer a direct question with another question or something unrelated, or if they cant explain to you how their promise will work. They are liars, conmen, and likely Republicans

Apple/EU tariffs, attacks on Harvard…all purposeful mis-directs, that will not stand, from the following: —GOP tax bill is largest transfer of wealth from poor to rich in history. Democrats/media being played.

Millions of people believe that Fox is news and not a propaganda entertainment network. 22 Fox employees now work for the regime. We can’t seem to get that toothpaste back in the tube.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

Let’s not forget today the GOP tax bill changed the threshold for the estate tax to 0 tax under $30million in inheritance. $124 trillion going to be inherited between now and 2048. US debt is $36 trillion and climbing. Seems like there’s a pretty simple answer here. Tax the rich.

Just fyi… when the Democrats passed their healthcare bill in the middle of the night it sparked the tea party. GOP is toast for this… IF the Dems can get their crap together

I’d like those thinking like this to consider the WP analysis that 60% of all book ban requests came from just 11 people. Those people don’t give up or listen to odds. Unfortunately they have created a national topic & made progress with their cause. So learn from them and don’t discredit your voice

House Republicans just passed Trump’s Tax Scam (the GOP’s Medicaid-slashing, billionaire-enriching megabill) in a 215-214 vote. The bill got even worse overnight, but the most important thing to know right now is this: This fight isn’t over, and this bill can still be stopped. 🧵

They're arresting Members of Congress. Perhaps a sternly-worded letter is in order. Or, perhaps, it's time to play some damn hardball with the DOJ.
