The 'find out' phase is here.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

I have never doubted for one second that Trump is a rapist. The way he talks about Ukraine really confirms it. Ukraine sure as fuck wasn’t asking to be invaded.

Only monsters cut literacy funding. I said what I said. Are we great yet? “The beauty of the Imagination Library is that it unites us all—regardless of politics—because every child deserves the chance to dream big and succeed." www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Yesterday, President Trump endorsed $880 BILLION in cuts to Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act — breaking his promise.   Ohioans rely on these programs for care. Slashing them to fund a $4.5 TRILLION tax break for the billionaire class is a betrayal.   I will fight this with everything I’ve got.

For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 1%, it can collect $13. For every $1 the IRS spends auditing the top 0.1%, it can collect $26. Laying off 7,000 IRS employees (during tax season) isn't about efficiency. It's about making it easier for the rich to evade taxes.

I'm dying laughing at this list! 😂

Facts!

Ah, Octavian speaks. Self-important moron who equates wealth with merit just like his shit stain of a father.

Trump wants you to forget that he gutted the Aviation Safety Committee and ousted the FAA administrator during his first week in office. Don’t forget.

When do we stop him???

A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves. For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender. A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984. www.inforum.com/opinion/colu...

This is such a fascinating piece in The Atlantic. James Murdoch opens up on his father, his brother, and how the family fell apart. Well worth the subscription. Fans of Succession will especially appreciate the parallels. www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Knowledge is power…

I hear the nagging question you ask inside your head a few hundred times a day: "Is it me, or has a huge portion of this country lost its mind?" It isn't you. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/dont-gasli...

The pocket square is getting a lot of attention, I’m more concerned as to the what the lapel pin stands for.
