Donald Trump betrayed working families by enacting one of the largest tax increases in history. In the process, he destroyed the stock market, and now he’s acting like chaos was always the plan. He does not know what he’s doing.

This isn't going to end until the judges start holding lawyers and DOJ officials in contempt and throwing them in jail. Even that might not end it, but there's no point trying to delay the inevitable. They're just getting bolder and more destructive as they go.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

NEW: DOJ doubles down on refusing to follow Judge Xinis's orders. Today's status report contains nothing new. It again fails to provide information about steps they're taking to bring Mr. Abrego back), and arguably violates her command that a declaration be made by someone with personal knowledge.

Add up the deficits caused by covid stimulus, the TCJA, the IRA, and the BIL, and you still don’t reach the level allowed in the budget passed yesterday. So much for the party of fiscal discipline. My @morningjoe-msnbc.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. My @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social

Yo! Shoutout to AOC & Bernie for leading by example — showing up, speaking truth & organizing w/the people, not just talking at them from D.C. We need that same energy from all Dems. Whether it’s 35,000 or 35 people — show up. Hit the streets, hit the town halls, show you’re ready to fight for us.

After 3 years of Russia’s war, after mass civilian deaths, deported children & destroyed cities—Trump’s envoy Steve Witkoff met Putin for 4 hours to suggest a “deal”: hand Russia 4 Ukrainian regions in exchange for “peace.” This is not diplomacy — this is betrayal.

Echoing points made by others today, in a country where getting an abortion or gender affirming care or protesting a genocide can be felonies, I am going to need everyone to stop talking about "the rule of law" and "innocent people" and "criminal records."
