Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

#BREAKING: Over 36,000 people rallied in Los Angeles today in support of @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social’s OLIGARCHY TOUR — setting a record as their largest stop on this tour.

In retrospect, it continues to seem like a really bad decision by the New York Times to push out Paul Krugman, their longtime columnist who won his Nobel Prize in the economics of trade and geography right before we have 4 years where trade policy is the #1 crisis in the country.

Most days I still can't believe Americans elected a fake real estate tycoon moron game show host POTUS once. And then after he incited an insurrection and was convicted of 34 felonies we elected him again and now even more sycophants suck his mushroom dick daily and pretend he's some kind of genius.

Hope this helps.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Called both Senators to encourage them to vote against the SAVE Act, which is intended to disenfranchise millions of women. Then called my Congresscritter to express how disappointed I was at her voting *for* it. It really does make one feel better.

"Ness Edwards reported that his sleep was plagued by nightmares, and Morris-Jones told his local newspaper that what he saw at Buchenwald had left a ‘nasty film’ in the ‘recesses’ of his brain."

Will they mind? Will they realize it was him who did it? I have my doubts. They'll just butter them up with some bs about God, guns and babies and they'll go right ahead and reelect him. All the while cursing "the elites" for their misery.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Howie Roseman says the #Eagles won't even scout players who have ever been violent with women: “I won’t even watch them. I don't even want to talk. I can't go 'He’s really good, he did it 10 years ago and he learned from it.” It just doesn't work for us." #FlyEaglesFly (🎥: The McShay Show)

So if we’re keeping score at home, I’ve now had a big EPA grant blocked by EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, a DOE SETO Grant paused, probably canceled by Trump, an NSF grant on Ted Cruz’s “woke list,” and now they are pulling the plug on the US Global Change Research Program I volunteer for.

Via @steverattner.bsky.social: Tax cuts account for 38% of the national debt today, while recession responses and spending increases each caused 29%. And now the Republicans want to pass $5.3T more tax cuts. We can’t keep this up. #EconSky

I’ve noticed that many journalists and commentators who refuse to acknowledge the US has already succumbed to dictatorship are white, wealthy and straight. Minorities get it. The poor gets it. How much more evidence do we need? The country is under authoritarian rule. Unless you’re rich, of course.

Chinese trolling us…

If people had just voted for Gore, Obama, Hillary, and Harris, we’d be light years ahead of where we are.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

The message from the Left should be: tariffs bad, industrial policy good. Sure, there are niche cases where tariffs might be useful as part of industrial policy, but it really weakens the message to add qualifiers. Fight unreservedly against the thing destroying the economy.
