My first thought too when Trump announced his toothless EO. This is what the MAGAts have been calling socialism forever, but now that their orange-painted leader declares it, it’s all good.

Auchincloss: "You gotta give credit to Trump as a marketer. He creates uncertainty and havoc by raising tariffs, and then claims victory when he lowers the tariffs that he himself put in place. All this does is extend uncertainty for another 90 days."

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated. “Only very sick kids should die from measles.” No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die. Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

All this Qatar plane bribe stuff is going to do is up the ante. Congress will turn a blind eye while others start lavishing Trump with bigger and bigger gifts. The grift is done. There is no going back without massive congressional pushback, including investigations and veto-proof legislation.

REPORTER: Why are you creating an expedited path into the country for Afrikaners but not others? TRUMP: Because they're being killed. And we don't want to see people be killed ... it's a genocide that's taking place. Farmers are being killed. They happen to be white.

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

The fight for voting rights never ends. Last month, Indiana passed a law banning the use of university-issued IDs as valid voter identification at the polls. The state allows far less secure IDs making this a “surgical attack on young voters.” Advocacy groups have filed suit. @lwvus.bsky.social

Which states could lose the most from Medicaid cuts floated by the GOP? South Carolina, Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee – all Trump states. Republicans seem perfectly happy throwing their own constituents under the bus to dole out tax cuts for the wealthy & corporations.

Israel has announced the indefinite invasion and occupation of the entire Gaza Strip. Thanks to US complicity under both Biden and Trump, Israel was able to massacre more than 50,000 people and evade international consequences. It is currently starving 2.5 million people, half of them children.

"Pertussis, or whooping cough, is now spreading at a rate the U.S. hasn’t seen since vaccines were introduced in 1948." It's No Coincidence. Public health funding is being slashed. Vaccine misinformation is spreading. Fewer people are getting vaccinated. This is the result.

NEW: Trump’s DOJ just removed the ATF’s “Faces of Gun Violence” memorial, which was created to honor police officers killed by gunfire and children murdered in school shootings. This is a slap in the face to victims and survivors everywhere.

I wonder how many Americans realize that Bribery is one of just two impeachable offenses specifically enumerated in the United States Constitution and the case that Donald Trump has now committed that crime dozens of times in his second term is a legal slam dunk. So shall we get started?
