a decadent and rotten elite that crumbled at the barest touch, and can't defend even its own interests. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Trump's tariffs tanked the stock market, raised everyday costs across the board and are slashing retirement plans so many rely on— And Republicans are responding with a glowing thumbs up by supporting this budget plan. They don't care about you. They care about pleasing Trump.

On the plus side it is more difficult to crash the global economy on the weekend. Happy Friday everyone

oh no

The provision of the 14th amendment that the Supreme Court unanimously wrote out of the constitution existed for a reason. Its drafters knew what would happen if you allowed insurrectionists back into power.

I think it’s more useful to use my platform to advocate for what’s true and just than to speculate about how Democrats can win elections.

Trump inherited an economy that was firing on all cylinders. Now, just weeks into his tenure, the outlook is far gloomier -- and the sudden deterioration is due almost entirely to his policies and the uncertainty they have created. @colbylsmith.bsky.social #EconSky www.nytimes.com/2025/03/07/b...

“Transitioning” from 50 straight months of job growth, a 400% rise in manufacturing construction and the best back-to-back years for the stock market in a quarter century. 🤡

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous. Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

That was the most shameful performance by any American president in a century. I want to fucking throw up.

As a citizen and taxpayer, let me say, with no reservations, Ukraine and Zelensky owe me no thanks. Thank you for fighting for freedom! #eatmetrump #eatmevance

February retail sales should be informative. 🇺🇸

“Sir, a second unused Microsoft Teams conference room license has been found”

Musk is openly stealing a $2 billion contract from Verizon. I don’t know what else to say. We are broken.

Coinbase was being investigated by the SEC so they: - gave $75M a to pro-Trump PAC - gave $1M to Trump’s inauguration - sponsored an inaugural party - hired Trump’s campaign manager - listed Trump’s meme coin And now the investigation is closed. These are called bribes.

The casual rise of eugenics and breathless, credulous declarations of innate superiority of some people over others even among self-styled centrists is one of the creepiest and most alarming trends I’ve seen in a while.

Really wild that these white guys who have benefited most from the American system have proven to be the least patriotic among us. Contrast that with the black community who have the least reason to love America and yet who fought hardest to protect us from all this.

SEN. MURPHY: “There was a promise made to finance this tax cut with two trillion dollars of cuts to Medicaid and Medicare. Medicaid: poor kids, poor families. Medicare: seniors in this country.”

Europe can’t rely on the strength of the transatlantic relationship to help contain Russia’s threat – it must lead from the front and be the true force of support that Ukraine needs. Not just for Ukraine’s sake, but for a free and sovereign Europe.

The Chiefs can still win, if Mike Pence finds the courage.
