I’m starting to think that the right simply views monetary transactions differently than the rest of us. Whether it’s grants to Harvard or trade deficits, MAGA seems to think that paying someone to do something = giving money away, regardless of whether they provide what you asked for. Weird.

25% tax on Apple products while singling out the CEO by name for retribution, 50% tax on European goods, expulsion of foreign students, bill passed with most debt in history, while hosting a dinner for people who gave you $300+ million. All in the last 24 hours. The Golden Age.

This should be bigger news: ICYMI - Project 2025’s puppet master Russell Vought just replaced Elon as head of DOGE. People still in denial & believe Trump knew nothing about Project 2025, need to explain why he just handed the keys to the whole damn thing to its architect. He is the plan. Wake up.

It's merely weird timing that everything that was about to break because of Joe Biden did not, in fact, break during his administration but rather did so as soon as DOGE touched it. Coincidence. Happenstance, even.

“I have maybe two months' worth left in my warehouse in Minnesota, and when that's gone, I have no more revenue.” Hear from Minnesota Small Business Person of the Year, Beth Benike, about the impacts of President Trump’s tariff taxes on her small business, Busy Baby.

Seven people were shot in an Oklahoma City bar last night as fans gathered to watch an NBA playoff game, but you might not have heard about it because it’s the sort of thing that happens every single day in America. It’s long past time we did something about that.

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978? 100%? 500%? Try 1,085% Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This story is haunting me. Why is ICE over 900 miles from the border? Why are they operating without uniforms or badges? How do we know that these aren't just deputized Proud Boys or other MAGA militia? Where's the oversight? The accountability. I fear we have crossed the Rubicon with this one.

Elon backtracked on DOGE savings goals from $1 trillion to $150 billion. But watchdogs report only $12.6 billion in verifiable savings. That represents just 0.173% of the U.S. federal budget for 2025. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

HUNDREDS of protests and MILLIONS of protesters in big cities and small towns all across America today. From Washington D.C. to St. Paul, Minnesota. New York City to Chicago. Hartford, Connecticut to Phoenix, Arizona — and absolutely everywhere in between. The “50501” movement is…

Reminds me of all the Republicans in Congress who celebrated the Fourth of July in Moscow. Except they were there to celebrate Putin and never updated their plaques. Chris Van Hollen traveled to save a constituent. These assholes won’t even show up at a townhall in their district

He is also playing that golf at properties his family owns, so he is actually funneling millions of taxpayer dollars to himself.

The fact that Republican reps can get into this prison for their facism fanboy selfies but Van Hollen can't gain access for a wellness check on his own abducted constituant is beyond damning.

He's manufacturing chaos because he has nothing to offer. No vision. No ideas. No interest in building anything. Just tearing down what others have built.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

#TrumpTariffs have real consequences for small business owners here in #Minnesota and across the US. You might recognize Beth from #SharkTank, where she introduced her Busy Baby mats in 2021.
