Listen, I’m not saying this woman doesn’t exist, but running this big photo feature about a former Dem who’s become apathetic about politics on the day when hundreds of thousands of people are rallying nationwide is a choice

There is no way on god's green earth that a Democrat could even think of not attending a transfer cermony of fallen soldiers and going to a golf game and fundraiser instead. They lost their ever loving minds for days when Biden checked his watch once during one. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

So we’re 75 days into trumps second term, people are protesting everywhere. Markets have had two days of absolutely apocalyptic losses. There are grad students being disappeared and a man with an autism awareness tattoo was sent to a super scary prison in El Salvador. They’ve cut cancer research..

I will pay a journalist $100 if they manage to get an answer from Trump on whether there's a danger in his levying further tariffs on Wakanda if they don't begin fairly trading vibranium with the US.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

We take tariffs on our beautiful Heard Island very seriously. We will be consulting all mammals and flightless birds and will make an announcement in the near future detailing our response. #heardisland #tariff #mcdonaldisland #trumptariff

Why would he care about the markets when he is getting large cash bribes every day from businesses and pardoned criminals and scamming more cash from crypto schemes and overseas dictators? Investing in fundamentals is for suckers and losers. He likes the guys who didn’t do research.

One thing I simply can't do or won't do is make too much of a claim that I'm one of the "good Americans" when talking to friends and family from outside the country. I didn't vote for him and I'll make that clear, but asking anyone from another country for sympathy right now is a bad idea, I think

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

When people said, "They'll keep Trump in check. It won't be that bad." No, once you take over all the institutions, purge them, and gain power, you do what you want without checks and accountability. Trump is defying courts. Who is going to stop him? Exactly. No one.
