An estimated 15,000 people are at the Fighting Oligarchy rally with AOC and Bernie Sanders in Los Angeles today. Amazing!

Booker: "This isn't just about Mr. Garcia. This is about every American understanding that this president is making an assault on the due process rights that are afforded to people in our country ... you cannot disappear people off American streets."

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

Per CNBC: White House is now saying EU will not be punished for their retaliation because it hadn't gone into effect yet. So they only get the 10% baseline tariff. That excuse just tells you in black and white how much they've contorted themselves in order to back the fuck off this poor strategy.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

We have 3 branches of federal government. Usually, if one is not working properly, the other 2 can step in. Have we ever had another time in our nation's history when *none* of the branches were working? Yes, the judiciary seemed prepared to step into the breach--until SCOTUS ruined things again.

🚨 NEWS: The White House confirms the tariff on Chinese imports is now 145%—not 125%. Reminder: tariffs are taxes on imported goods, which means Americans end up paying more.

Wild that it’s just now sinking in who actually pays for the tariffs (Hint: Small business owners, American consumers, etc.)

Only a mentally ill person would think they can be a draft dodger, consistently insult veterans, active duty military, and dead heroes, and think they deserve to have a military parade in their own honor… Just sick!

The Social Security Administration is now wrongly informing some SSI recipients they are no longer receiving benefits. This comes as agency cuts have led to repeated website crashes and overwhelmed phone lines.  This is what DOGE's "efficiency" looks like.

The simultaneous crash of the stock market and the bond market is super ominous. But also a totally foreseeable consequence of this insane tariff policy. So is it incompetence or part of a plan to crash the economy? An increasingly important question.
