Some folks are suggesting that if the White House meets the incredibly low bar it has set itself -- of making one deal, likely with India -- that would restore confidence. I disagree. Our 12th largest trading partner is a lovely place, but it leaves 97.5% of U.S. trade up in the air.

I don't think that was the thing people were concerned about? Like... of course the show itself isn't going to have Harry look to camera and say something transphobic. The problem is that she's profiting from this.

Quite the compliment coming from one of my favorite accounts on this platform. Thanks for all you do, Rick! From your fan, Mar🐫

Wealth hoarding is a competitive sport for these MFers. They can NEVER be satiated. They'll ALWAYS take MORE. Until we organize and stop them.

The GOP is running from accountability *AGAIN.* They changed House Rules so no one can introduce Resolutions of Inquiry—including quashing ours in Oversight demanding answers on Musk and DOGE’s access of Americans’data. They’re “delaying” all resolutions until Sept. 30! What are they hiding from?

If you take a single lesson out of Star Wars let it be that successful opposition to fascism only happened after all the different factions stopped fighting with each other and joined forces. You can criticize your allies, of course, but you can’t be more focused on defeating them than the enemy.

Reminder: Impeachment is the legal, nonviolent route to removing a President. It is the path that the Constitution provides to protect democracy. Impeachment is the remedy when a President commits impeachable offenses. It's that simple.

The VA has abruptly ended the only low-interest, affordable loan modification option for thousands of vets who are behind on their mortgages. If you're a vet at risk of foreclosure, we want to hear your story.

The Big Lie undergirding MAGA’s immigration posture is that immigrants are fundamentally parasitic, they just take from the host country. It’s a fascist conception and also just obviously wrong if you think about it for more than 10 seconds. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Remarkable how tariff supporters embrace what I call “immaculate taxation” —-that one of the biggest tax increases in decades could be enacted with no effect on jobs, growth or inflation. I believe many of those same folks forecast Armegeddon if the top 39% tax rate was restored.

If another country cut off our supply of vaccines or unleashed contagious vaccine-preventable diseases on us, we would call it what it is: bioterrorism. Just because it’s a Kennedy doing it to us from inside the house does not change that.

America's version of the Khmer Rouge. Soon they'll be attacking professionals, students, universities, scientists, their political opponents, lawyers, the media, and any reporters who don't agree with their Regime. Oh wait.

President Biden's Jobs Report: 255,000 new jobs is horrible, the Recession is here, grandma will have to eat catfood, America is doomed. ~ CNN Trump's Jobs Report: 177,000 new jobs is amazing, how Dear Leader does so well, so easily, so handsomely, America is saved, and will be great, again. ~ CNN

Tariffs: when you tax your own citizens to teach another country a lesson they won’t learn.

They pit us against each other so that they can rob us blind while we fight over the literal scraps.

Abbe Lowell starts a new firm to snap up all the associates quitting from firms that capitulated to Trump. www.cbsnews.com/news/abbe-lo...

Our country is mired in propaganda, corruption, lies and foreign influence. It’s where we are.

Trump's post is a federal crime. 26 USC § 7217.

Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

If you've ever found yourself thinking, 'That can’t be constitutional' after one of Trump’s executive orders or deportations, you're not wrong. This piece breaks down the five core constitutional principles Trump has taken a wrecking ball to, so we can better fight back against the threat he poses.

May Day Reminder: The Federal Minimum Wage - in the richest country EVER - is still only $7.25/hr. UNACCEPTABLE.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 86% Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31% Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%. As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

This is a big deal—not just a process-based ruling, but a holding that Trump’s Alien Enemy Act proclamation is substantively invalid on its face. This will obviously not be the last word, but it’s a really important step in the AEA litigation.

What the fuck is a direct inverse correlation?

This is something we can all do.👇🏼 File a complaint with the FL and DC Bar to have Pam Bondi disbarred for not complying with the 9-0 Supreme Court ruling to return Mr. Garcia from El Salvador. I did mine... who's next?

Federal workers SAVE the government money, that’s why firing them is COSTING the government money. This isn’t difficult.

The Attorney General of the United States gushing on camera that the President has saved two-thirds of the entire population of America from dying of a fentanyl overdose was a gut-churning lurch towards the absurd flattery lavished on personality-cult dictators by fawning subordinates.

Here it is. A timetable of 100 days of corruption. Breathtaking. Heartbreaking. We cannot let this stand.

Now that’s how you roll out the welcome mat.

America is not a Christian nation. America is a nation where the rich and powerful have reduced Christianity to just another tool to exploit for their own interests at the expense of the very people Jesus called us to serve: the poor, the hungry, the sick, the stranger, and the oppressed.

THIS THIS THIS

I could be wrong about this but I really think most Americans do not want to be forced to “do their own research” about food & drug & product safety and would rather that the government agencies that have been sorting that all out for them for decades not be obliterated in the name of “efficiency.”

Trafalgar releasing a Georgia Senate poll that has MTG winning the GOP primary by 21-points, and then losing to Ossoff by 11-points is hilarious

If your private religious school is so good, why does it need public funds to operate?

The US is now officially in stagflation -- with a shrinking economy AND above-average inflation First time we've been in stagflation since Jimmy Carter

Just incredible

I mean, yeah.

Your jobs weren't taken. A man with two kids starving in his own country and being extorted by gangs, who walked 1100 miles to the border, didn't take your Job. He came here for one you won't do.

As a party, we are prisoners being held hostage by people who simply refuse to accept that their time has passed and won’t accept that others more capable right now. Stay in the Senate, but step down from leadership. It’s time for a new approach, a new face, & a new voice.
