Our new fellow @pkrugman.bsky.social sat down with @elizabethwwilkins.bsky.social to talk about today's economic landscape: "It’s funny that our great grandfathers were much more open than we are in saying that one of the purposes of progressive taxation is to actually limit extreme wealth."

letter from the biggest federal employee union: "AFGE members have concluded that a widespread government shutdown has been underway since January 20 and will continue to spread whether senators vote yes or no on HR 1968" talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/bigge...

Today's gaslighting specials from @nytimes.com Democrats are the ones running things or shutting them down, and Trump gives a flying fuck about America and manufacturing.

Stipulating that everything DOGE has done is illegal and should be "unwound", love to hear a positive plan from Democrats about what will be rebuilt and how. Don't need to concede anything good about DOGE: say that was a disaster but here's how we can rebuild a govt of the people for the people.

“If the executive branch is determined to provoke a constitutional crisis, then confrontation is inevitable. It is better that the crisis arises from the Court doing its job than from the Court being cowed into submission,” writes Suzanne Spaulding. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/judi...
