There’s no economic plan with tariffs, at least not one relating to national interest or the welfare of the American people. Everyone who goes looking for one, or tries to craft one onto what they see, fails. As @jamellebouie.net argues, it’s a personal desire for domination, making others losers.

Remarkable of what doesn't get covered on TV at all. For instance, this has to be one of the biggest corruption stories of the year. Musk Is Positioned to Profit Off Billions in New Government Contracts Can't find any coverage of it at all.

Those who learned history's lesson of the Holocaust appear to be today's concentration camp guards and gestapo, whose takeaway appears to be "obscure your identity when participating in crimes against humanity." Other institutions have forgotten this main lesson: there is no appeasing fascists.

Make no mistake about it, if those numbers are even close to true, there is no way all of the weather forecast offices can exist as they do now. A full-on attack on public weather services. If a car lost 25% of its parts, it doesn't slow down. It just doesn't work.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

You should laugh at anyone who says the president should have unlimited power because he was elected. His power has to be limited because he's the president. This is fifth grade level social studies

NEW: The public acknowledgement that DOGE’s “administrator” Amy Gleason has been working a second job at HHS since February raises new questions about what the Trump admin has been saying — and telling courts — about who is in charge. w/ @meganmesserly www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

The Navajo Code Talkers are heroes. They helped our country defeat Nazis & fought for our freedom. It’s despicable that this administration has removed this history from their webpages. We will always honor them — even in the face of this administration’s hostility toward veterans.

“Those nasty Canadians are ripping us off and are controlled by Mexican cartels. They’re poisoning us with fentanyl and need to become the 51st state or they will pay a high price” is a belief that literally ZERO Americans had six weeks ago. It’s entirely invented from scratch.

If a university spokesperson was doing this it would be national news, and used as justification for the federal government to defund the university. The truth is that antisemitism is just one of the excuses they are using to justify destroying independent institutions.

My best recommendation to huge legacy media companies right now is to hire a reporter who understands crypto, the law, and politics - and how they are currently intersecting in an incredibly corrupt way that almost everyone is ignoring.

I finally got what's bugged me about all these stories on the crippling of the US govt: all of them speak of "cuts" when, in fact, only Congress can 'cut' funding, and it has done nothing of the sort. The story describes illegal & unconstitutional impoundment, BUT SAYS NOT ONE WORD ABOUT IT

This one was censored in the US so not sure how many of you caught this before, but little X knows about the election rigging. Which is why Musk has effectively kidnapped him and doesn't allow him to be with his mother or other family.

The key thing to understand about Meta without guard rails is that, when they allowed their platform to exist without any content controls in Myanmar under an extremist leader, it was used to directly enable a genocide. Zuckerberg knows that its level of threat. www.amnesty.org/en/location/...

Such a good point by Tressie McMillan Cottom. If preening billionaires like Musk, Trump, and Ramaswamy who revel in their performative obnoxiousness crash the economy or slash Social Security or Medicare, then that populist rage they’ve stoked might come back to bite them.

When I lecture about New Deal banking reforms, I note that some of the key measures — like Glass Steagall — were repealed by the right with disastrous results like the 2008 financial meltdown, but ha ha, no one will ever be stupid enough to kill FDIC and bring back the old bank runs.
