People will say this is the result of a presidential election, and that’s partly true. But the Constitution does not delegate tariff power to the president, and he is only able to impose these ruinous, peace-destroying taxes because Congress has let him do so. Congress can end this at any time.

Our open letter response to the #USCommerceDept and #POTUS

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.

Musk is going to rack up some historic mass-murder numbers by the time he's done.

“Utterly deluded.” Exactly.

Trans rights are human rights. As the co-chair of the Trans Equality Task Force in the @equality.house.gov, I will stand with our trans communities every single day, regardless of the attacks leveled by the Trump administration. #TDOV

France’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. South Korea’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Brazil’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Only America’s decided a criminal must be allowed to break its laws and destroy its democracy.

Frengel Reyes Mota was supposed to be dealing with his ongoing asylum case as he fought for his chance to stay in the United States. Suddenly, he instead found himself locked up in a mega prison thousands of miles away.

Democrats need to have disciplined messaging on this clip right here for the next 3 days. We have the memory of goldfish. All hands on deck around this clip of Lutnick and Social Security revealing the greed and cruelty of Trump, Musk, and the GOP.

If the constitution is still in operation, Trump's executive order abolishing the Department of Education is just a suggestion. If Trump can abolish the Department of Education with an executive order, then the constitution is just a suggestion.

For those folks who have been waiting to climb the pole and ring the “constitutional crisis” bell, it would appear we have arrived. Neither Judge Sorokin nor Judge Boasberg believed that he was signing a meaningless order, and both judges demanded compliance that never came.

Shout it from the rooftops. This is not left vs right, this is a class struggle.

The U.S. opposition is not serious.

This is blood-boiling. Charles Rogers was awarded the Medal of Honor in Vietnam after being wounded three times leading the defense of a position. Google his name and the entry below comes up. When you click, you'll see the page has been deleted and the URL changed to include "DEI medal."

America is *so* stupid.
