Los Angeles: don’t take Trump’s bait. Trump wants chaos and he’s instigated violence. Those who assault law enforcement or cause property damage will risk arrest. Stay peaceful. Stay focused. Don’t give him the excuse he’s looking for.

According to the official White House account, the US is in the midst of an "insurrection" that warrants federalization of the National Guard, which is why the President is attending a UFC fight and hanging out with Dana White.

Mayors and governors of communities being abused by these cuts need to organize and speak out together in opposition.

not a data take but this is fucked up. cutting food benefits to poor moms, infants, and toddlers is pointlessly cruel. not a partisan issue, just straightforwardly fucked. the cruelty is the point. call your congressperson

And for what? What is the upside other than massive tax cuts for those making >$4M? These cuts don't even pay for legacy school loans. If the unis have been irresponsible, why give the grant money to the ultra wealthy?!?

Start every day with this reality: EVERY HOUSE SEAT and 33 Senate seats are up for election in 2026. THAT must be the focus. Let’s get disciplined. #LeaveNoPowerOnTheTable ballotpedia.org/United_State...

Great article. When we walk on eggshells, we are delaying the process of grieving the loss of what we cannot control. Lets, instead, focus on what we can control...and start planning and building the future we want. 💪🏽🇺🇸🌎❤️

There's so much to do! Publicly fund campaigns. M Obama said they at times struggled financially to run for office!! Reform the Senate. Consolidate low pop states. Add DC and PR. In-person filibuster only. Decrease medocal costs. Probably means reforming medicine some. Residents might want some!

I'm still thinking about the next chapter. Tax those who make >4M. And pay for healthcare for everyone else. Paid parental leave. Childcare subsidies. College loan forgiveness. Get cheaper cars into the US. You know, make things suck less.

I do think about the next chapter, and what it'll look like. When we rebuild, maybe we'll have an opportunity to build better. Protect federal agencies, give DC statehood, grow the federal judiciary + SCOTUS, address ICE, airplane safety, medicare for all, the alleged bribery crimes...

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

Along with the obvious emoluments issue, why would you ever in a million years accept something as important in terms of intelligence & safety as Air Force One from a foreign government?
