The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

To the world: We are fighting back. Our movement has been silenced by the media here—but we are not backing down. This is what our streets looked like across multiple cities. Tomorrow, there will be more of us! Raise a glass to freedom. —With love, Your American allies.

Walz: "For him to mock them and to say this about Canada, that they're nasty people. The thing I think that has to start to set in and I would argue that happened in Wisconsin is that there's buyer's remorse. Nobody signed up to insult the Canadians and drive up potash prices."

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Yes. There is a kneejerk reaction among some Dems that tariffs inherently protect workers. This is not true and nobody should reinforce it. These tariffs are a perfect example: there's no doubt the effect on workers is bad. Fewer jobs, lower pay, higher costs of living.

“Influencers” taking to social media to complain about service at fast food restaurants, why? You get what you pay for, babe. Those employees probably pay more in gas to commute to the job than they get paid. Read the room.

The U.S. Department of Education pulled out of an agreement to give Kentucky school districts more time to spend COVID relief funds. Some districts say the sudden halt jeopardizes long-term projects.

Your April Fools' Day reminder that trickle-down economics is the greatest trick of all. It's nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich at your expense. Don't fall for it.

Most bills the Kentucky General passed into law this year will go into effect 90 days after the end of the session, but 27 of them have “emergency clauses” attached. That means they go into effect immediately.

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

This is a very important point. Breathlessly vague headlines and summaries of these executive orders created for the executive powers it does not have. This kind of press contributed to authoritarian regime change.

American families want solutions to their everyday worries. That means creating good jobs, helping keep the bills down and making health care more affordable. If leaders got back to focusing on right vs. wrong instead of right vs. left, we could get a lot done.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

The Midwestern dilemma: It's warm enough today and that it might be nice to run the air conditioner for a spell. That would test that it's working, you see, and also it's not going to cool off much tonight. But it's not even April yet and it may snow on Monday. This decision is pain.

I do not think in the year 2025 that we should continue to accept a reality which sees women paid just $0.75 for every $1 men are paid for doing the same job. If we want to achieve economic justice in this country — that means equal pay for equal work.
