Unbelievable. With Dem support, the senate passes an industry-friendly crypto bill that does nothing about Trump's crypto corruption. Ignore these Dems' speeches. Watch their votes. They're telling you they don't get it. And then they spam you to say Trump is bad so please donate more money.

The researchers at @energyinnovation.org have modeled the effects of the current GOP reconciliation bill. Folks ... it's bad. The top line: "Between 2026 and 2034 (the reconciliation window), national GDP decreases by nearly $1.1 trillion, cumulatively" I'm bad at budgeting. Is a trillion a lot?

The way we were treated at Delaney Hall is almost unbelievable. ICE shoved me, manhandled @repbonnie.bsky.social, and arrested Mayor Baraka. They disrespected us and tried to stop us from conducting the oversight we’re elected to do. But we’ll never back down in our fight for what is right.

no more "they don't plan on having elections" talk. no more "they won't obey the courts" talk. i don't want to hear any of you give up in advance any more. they fucking will obey the results of an election, they fucking will obey court orders, and they will do so because we will demand they do.

One of the ways dissent is being criminalized is through state-federal intelligence sharing in Joint Terrorism Task Forces. But three cities have booted the feds out of their communities, and more can follow, as @drboguslaw.bsky.social explains: prospect.org/civil-rights...

For most of my life, Very Serious People maintained the polite fiction that conservatives are motivated by concern over the size of government. It was always this: an atavistic thrill at the suffering of marginalized outsiders. Always. That's the engine that runs the conservative movement.

You simply can't focus on "kitchen table issues" any more when the president, on live audio, announced his intention to vanish tens of thousands of US citizens to El Salvador and requested that the president of El Salvador build several more mega prisons to house them. This is it. Moment of truth.
