Good day to remember that DOGE has already lost the US government at least half a trillion dollars this year alone. And likely more.

How much untold pain and disgrace could have been avoided had a handful of GOP Senators had the guts to convict after the second impeachment? They utterly failed the test of history.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

The question I've been asked most as we endure the legal dumpster fire that is the Trump Administration is, "What can we do about it when it's not election season?" @timothynoah.bsky.social has an outstanding essay in the @newrepublic.com addressing that question. newrepublic.com/article/1931...

Important to realize that Trump’s approach to Canada and Greenland is like his approach to Ukraine. It’s not even simply American imperialism. It is America enabling Russian imperialism. (1/3)

Losing Sundance is an unqualified loss for the state. Utah's future is not bright in any sense if the most narrow and restricted view of arts and culture is the only one the supermajority legislature approves of or supports. We can do so much better than this. #utpol

Let’s be clear: Trump and his friends like Sens. Lee and Curtis look out, first and foremost, for the richest individuals and largest business interests. Working families, individuals struggling to get by, are getting the shaft. Time to elect candidates who will work for regular people. #utpol

You know who could really make a difference right now by standing up in favor of legal principles, the rule of law and the independence of the legal profession? Fabled Republican BigLaw firms like Kirkland & Ellis, Sullivan & Cromwell and Jones Day. “Yet they remain silent.”

If you think what happened to Rumeysa Ozturk can't happen to you because you're a citizen and she's not, you are sorely mistaken. Ozturk was snatched off the street not for being a national security threat but for having a wrong opinion. If we don't put a stop to this, it's coming for all of us.

Ignoring the popular will of Utahns, suppressing the vote, and chasing illusions of widespread voter fraud. What a disappointment that the former chief elections officer for the state signed this bill into law. "Brilliant"? Try "degrading democracy," Governor. #utpol

What we saw from the supermajority during this year's legislative session showcases exactly why we need a stronger, smarter Utah Democratic Party. Utahns deserve a real alternative to the nonsense and extremism being prioritized by Republican leaders.

In high school, we had to spend nights in bingo halls selling cards to raise money for marching band. I thought it was so inappropriate, but now I see that being up until 4am in a smoke-filled room while begging disinterested widowers for money is perfect prep for becoming a professional musician.

Biden really played the long game by diligently cleaning up the mess Trump left him, but rigging things so that the economy got bad as soon as Trump returned to office. For a sleepy guy, he's sure been pulling a lot of strings!

Senate Democrats— A vote AGAINST the Republican CR isn’t a vote to shut down the government—they’re in charge and need your votes. But a vote FOR the Republican CR is a vote to allow Elon Musk to continue shutting down the government and nullifying the role of Congress.

What's funny about Tesla: their still-huge share price isn't just about cars. It's predicated in part on the idea that Tesla's Optimus robots will sell by the billions and do household chores for people. But who could possibly now think people will want Elon's robots in their homes?
