In Sterling Heights, President Trump’s tariff policy has emerged as a Rorschach test of sorts for the controversial trade policy and for the first month of Trump’s second term. And the fissures that have emerged here mirror the polarized debate over much of what Trump has done so far.

The advice helped him when his wife was sick with breast cancer. And now 20 years later, he still finds it's still invaluable while supporting her through dementia.

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

AXIOS: The funding cuts — and the job cuts — “remove all desire for new workers to look at the government as a realistic option," the NOAA scientist said. @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/02/23/f...

Trump's attacks on the USPS aren't new. For decades, the GOP has been trying to privatize the Post Office and other crucial public services — all to pad the profits of their wealthy corporate donors.

Donald Trump replacing a black four-star general with a white three-star general as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is everything MAGA claims they hate about DEI: giving a less qualified person the job based on their race, not their resume.

I am grateful that so many people found my open letter to Elon Musk moving and want to share it. Some well meaning people are just cutting and pasting it on their social media feeds. I would appreciate it if people would link to the version posted on @democracydocket.com instead. Thanks. Marc

This is the House Republican budget plan that Donald Trump endorsed. Trickle up economics.

RFK Jr. Is an utter disgrace!! Thanks, @baron333.bsky.social

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice. The result is demagoguery and corruption.

There is not a snowball’s chance in hell that Christopher Wray, Merrick Garland, and President Biden hadn’t known for at least four fucking years that Donald Trump was a Russian asset. If they didn’t, then every single one of our intelligence agencies….sucked. In short: They fucking knew.

This is for @gtconway.bsky.social Five things I did last week. 1. Took too much ketamine 2. Danced onstage with a chainsaw 3. Ignored my new baby momma 4. Laughed at my own jokes. 5. Neglected all of my children except for the one I use as a human shield.

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

This hits hard.

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

Demand your GOP congressman cut their budget and lay off some staff. Congress spends 6.4billion/year on their own operations.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

⛔They never cared about veterans ⛔They also never cared about people in the military ✅To them they're all just pawns to be used and discarded 🎯Because that's how life is when you're a worthless fascist We've been doing this all wrong 👇Read and learn, while you can👇 #BeRelentless

He nails it.

Steve Bannon calling Elon Musk a "parasitic illegal immigrant" is rich coming from a guy who scammed people over his “We Build the Wall” fundraising effort.

Amen to that.

In the depths of the Nebraskan winter, 2400 people came out to listen to Bernie Sanders in Omaha last night. 800 had to be turned away at the door. Over 190,000 tuned into the livestream. There is a movement to be harnessed here. @sanders.senate.gov (📸 Anna Bahr)
