Trump’s trade war has caused nearly a 50% year-over-year drop at West Coast ports. There’s a supply chain breakdown just like we saw during COVID and we’re about to get slammed with higher prices. P

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

We just wanted to keep you all updated estimates are now approaching 4 million. Incredible job pulling this off on a holiday weekend! It was tough to get accurate counts today because small towns showed up in force. Some states had record-breaking turnout we didn’t expect this includes

"the president defied a Supreme Court ruling to return a man mistakenly sent to a gulag... and spoke of sending Americans to foreign concentration camps. This is the beginning of an American policy of state terror, and it has to be identified as such to be stopped" snyder.substack.com/p/state-terror

America, watch and learn.

There’s only so much we can take. We are not asking for Trump and his administration to listen to the American people. We are demanding that he listen. HANDS OFF OUR DEMOCRACY! April 5th. #5050movement #politicalrevolution #handsoff #april5th @polrev.bsky.social @indivisible.org

There are a lot of depressing developments in the news. So I wanted to amplify and flesh out some good ones, courtesy of our federal courts. I hope they put some smiles on your faces! open.substack.com/pub/statusku...

I think what is making everyone so angry isn’t just the cowardice of Senate Democrats, it’s their cowardice in comparison to the random normal person who runs for school board to oust a Moms for Liberty freak

BREAKING: Senate just UNANIMOUSLY restored $1.1 billion for DC local govt that was eliminated Why? Because Senators of BOTH parties work in DC - and most have homes there - and none of them want to be in a hellhole Now - try applying that same logic to THE REST OF THE COUNTRY

We just received word that the DOJ has begun removing data detailing criminal charges and convictions related to Trump loyalists. This started with records from the January 6th insurrection, but additional records are now being erased. We will keep you updated once we have more info.

Today, a reporter from the Russian state news agency TASS gained unauthorized access to the Oval Office. How does one gain unauthorized access to the Oval Office? Meanwhile, AP and Reuters were blocked.

Please read—this is becoming serious!

The task to find, at minimum, $880 billion in savings is a seismic order that leaves practically no other option than to cut away at Medicaid.

NOAA Cuts Leave Wind Chimes As Sole Predictor Of Approaching Hurricanes

I really like this thread, talking through process, and each place we can stop them. Republicans tried to cut Medicaid in (at least) 1981, 1995, 2003, 2005, 2010, and 2017. Now 2025. This record of our success and their failure doesn't mean we'll stop them. But we can. We have before.

By the way, the reason it matters that Trump lied is because news media is reluctant to report "Trump's radical agenda is bad and authoritarian," no matter how true that is. To our awful political class, that feels like editorializing. But they ARE willing to report on lying and hypocrisy.

“Unless these cruel and immensely counterproductive actions are reversed, . . .future generations will marvel that it wasn’t China’s actions that eroded U.S. standing and global security, paving the way for Beijing to become the partner of choice around the world.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/06/o...

Ellen Weintraub, chair of the Federal Election Commission, announced that President Trump sent her a letter declaring her immediate removal. However, Weintraub rejected the action, stating it was not legally valid.
