The President of the United States engaged in insider trading, and laughed about it. He is not exempt from the law. Where the fuck is Congress?

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

As more & more people wake up, because they (or someone they love) are directly impacted by what’s happening in the USA, there are two phrases I am finding helpful: “You don’t have to admit you were wrong. Just admit that you were lied to.” “Welcome to the resistance” #UnitedWeAreStrong 🤝🇺🇸✊

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Right now, America is not a place where rule of law exists. We are all being mined to increase the wealth of the few.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

Don’t let go of the evidence of insider trading, Dems. Push and push and push. Get real answers or implicate the whole GOP by their refusal to provide them.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

1) Do something autocratic 2) Wait to see how people react 3) If they don't push back hard enough, carry on 4) If they do push back hard enough, "pause" it 5) Illegally consolidate more power 6) Repeat

I don’t know, millions of people got in the streets a few days ago, the moderates are freaking out about their money, and the President of the United States is carrying out a wildly unpopular, intentional demolition of the economy. Might be time for leaders with spines to actually get in the game.

Media challenge: try writing headlines without using the word "antisemitism". Stop using Trump's framing for his authoritarian actions. "Trump administration now monitoring immigrant social media" would be shorter and more accurate, since no-one really believes this is about anti-semitism.

pro tip: if your government claims to have no money for children's heathcare but will eagerly waste millions on a gaudy military parade to stroke the fragile ego of a broken-inside president, you just might live in a shithole country

If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking

The US Constitution has a serious design flaw if we can't quickly remove leadership torching everything. (Parliaments can.) Its brilliant designers never imagined checks and balances would all fail simultaneously. Now it's like the Titanic sinking without enough lifeboats.

This isn’t a trade war against China and the rest of the world. It’s an economic war against working class America.

NEW: The Venezuelan military says it has raised its alert level following the discovery of an alleged U.S. plot to fabricate an incident at an ExxonMobil offshore platform in the contested waters between Venezuela and Guyana to justify an armed conflict.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy
