To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

Over the weekend, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Canadians to reevaluate their US vacation plans after the Trump administration threatened the country with a hefty 25 percent tariff. The tariff has been paused for 30 days, but the damage may already be done.

For all federal employees: Before you are locked out of your systems, ensure you have copies of unclassified performance appraisals, awards & other relevant personnel docs. If you have access to your office, grab your more important personal items sooner rather than later.

Good news to share in 3 parts: 1) In Wheeling, WV the protest march we held today was overwhelmingly supported by the passing cars. 100s of cheers & 3 boos. 2)David Hogg elected Vice Chair of the DNC! 3) Canada is putting a 100% tariff on Tesla. Gotta be a horrible person to get Canada that mad.

Incredible news! My young friend David Hogg has been elected Vice Chair of the DNC! I am so proud of him. He has always given me hope because he shows us what’s possible. Listen to his victory speech here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=yCxk...

I really don’t think it’s happenstance that pretty much every remaining institutional safeguard broke down within 15 years of Citizens United

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Everyone should watch CNN's Jim Acosta's dismantling of a GOP Rep's evasions over Trump's 1/6 pardons. On the pod, we feature excerpts. @mattgertz.bsky.social and I dig into why Acosta's moment is so rare in the land of 1/6 euphemism that defines much media discourse: newrepublic.com/article/1905...

Speaker Mike Johnson says Trump’s release of thugs who beat up cops and smeared feces in the Capitol is a “redemption” story. Johnson’s use of religious language to justify fascism is disgusting.

The Tulsa Race Massacre was not committed by an uncontrolled mob but was the result of “a coordinated, military-style attack” by white citizens, the Justice Department said in a report. It was the first time the U.S. government has given an official account of the 1921 massacre of Black residents.

Judge Andrew Oldham sounded frustrated by the UnitedHealthcare lawyer arguing 15-year-old Emily Dwyer no longer needed residential treatment. United’s approach, the judge said, essentially boiled down to “We’ll just gamble with her life.” By @deldeib.bsky.social & @mayatmiller.bsky.social

It’s true that most of what’s in this report is familiar. But it’s still such an important document to have out in the world - in particular in light of efforts, of which we’re likely to see more, to rewrite the history of January 6 www.justice.gov/storage/Repo...
