Who benefits from an economic crisis? Trump does. He declares an economic emergency—then manufactures one—which allows him to expand his power. Under the National Emergencies Act (NEA), the president can unlock more than 120 special statutory powers. No wonder he was just out golfing—crisis pays.

Republicans in congress could stop this insanity right now before day's end if they chose to. Doing so would breathe life back into the future of their party, but they are choosing not to. They are hosting their own funeral.

I do think it's worth marking and remembering that these people were willing to tolerate everything we've experienced since January and more provided it didn't disrupt the economy.

I saw a version of this on here before but it's worth yelling: these institutions that Musk is illegally dismantling– the weather service, health system, climate & energy research, international aid, maybe the US mail(?)– they don't belong to him, they belong to us. We invested in them. They're ours

I'm serious about pushing Republicans on impeachment this week. Think about it. There will never be a better chance. Rich people losing their wealth is the only thing that can move the needle on this. Not fascism, not racism, not the destruction of public health. This is it.

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

The Trump admin is dismantling Freedom of Information Act offices. Then the offices send out emails like, “Hello, the FOIA office has been placed on admin leave and is unable to respond to any emails.” The lengths this admin will go to ensure zero transparency with the American people is astounding.

Harper Collins did not sign. So weird how being owned by Rupert Murdoch means they can't even advocate for their own survival. Libraries are a HUGE part of all publishers' bottom lines. If you can't speak out bc it's right, speak out bc otherwise this destroys your bottom line ffs

Please stop with the "can we all agree" messaging, Dems. Republicans are not doing this and it is not our job to bail them out. I have nothing in common with MAGA and do not seek to agree with them on anything. I want to force them from power and prevent them from ever retaking it.

The Forest Service has forestry professionals and researchers who can precisely map where hazard reduction work is needed, and can help. But Trump / Elon are firing those forestry professionals and researchers. USDA leadership decided to say “everything is an emergency” instead of asking the USFS.

Just found out that one of my closest friends had a PhD offer rescinded because the NIH grant funding the program was cut. He’s considering Europe, as are a lot of researchers and scientists. Our research sector was the envy of the world. We’ll never recover. No hell hot enough
