No other developed nation in the world would tolerate the monstrosity that is the GOP's Murder-Suicide Pact with America. It's time to face the fact that virtually every other leading democracy on the planet serves their people better than we do here. My latest. www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-big-b...

One odd thing abt NYT story on deal with Bukele (aside from the very credulous view it gives of Stephen Miller plan, which is par for the course) is they make zero mention of significance of this, which is likely reason Bondi reversed press protections. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/u...

a key inflection point in our history, that has led to the deaths of thousands of children and tens of thousands of civilians, is that a bunch of nepobaby journalists in the WHCA felt that the Biden WH didn't give them enough respect and a Trump one would be more fun

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime. But America was founded on criticism. American democracy was built on dissent. Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.

SpaceX just landed a $5.92B contract with the Pentagon for Space Force rocket launches — the largest contract among the three firms who secured deals to send satellites into orbit. While DOGE cuts essential services for you, Musk is getting a taxpayer-funded windfall. Hello?

Two common misconceptions are on my mind today: 1. Overestimating the power of a single day of protest. 2. Underestimating the power of a single day of protest.

ICMYI: reported protests in the US in 2025 are almost certainly outpacing protests during Trump 1.0. In March 2025, we recorded significant growth in the number of cumulative events, and also an uptick in the rate of events (# of protests/week).

My university has a policy that our leadership won't take positions on public or social issues outside of its core mission. But the policy also says they must speak out in situations like the one we currently face, according to the policy's authors (from last May): www.nytimes.com/2024/05/28/o...

With Yoon removed from office today, by my count that makes 34 democratic leaders convicted since 2010. Only one—Trump—faced no real consequences. Trump's actions weren't uncommon. What was exceptional was how our institutions failed to hold him accountable.

A reminder to reporters: Because Trump tariff numbers are made-up nonsense, using the phrase “reciprocal tariffs” is lying to your audience. The phrase itself is propaganda. They are not reciprocal.

www.defensenews.com/pentagon/202... It has nothing to do with Border Security or Protecting America. Trump wants to fleece the world by gaining key ports used for imports and exports so he can Extort, Quid pro quo and take Bribes to enrich himself and "his" accomplicing Billionaires.

Truly… the most inept, unqualified, clueless, embarrassing and thoroughly stupid administration not just in U.S. history, but world history…brought to you by voters who make them look competent.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Trump: widening inequality and the unchecked power of billionaires. There's no "center" anymore between a takeover of the government by oligarchs and true freedom. Dems need to learn this.

Tonight an unbelievable 34,000 people gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
