If the traitor tots FA by gutting the FDIC, we may soon get to the FO part of this coup. If you keep your savings in a local Maine bank, let's add them to the call list. Let the money lenders know that the mattress is quickly becoming the safer option.

Senator Adam Schiff has said that he is going to be investigating whether anyone in DC was insider trading based on tariff policy.

The attacks on law firms and lawyers must stop. Full stop. On behalf of race and law centers, @seiu.org, @aftunion.bsky.social, @aaup.bsky.social, and several advocacy organizations, we offer our thoughts on why it must stop. www.law.uci.edu/centers/kore...

We have 3 branches of federal government. Usually, if one is not working properly, the other 2 can step in. Have we ever had another time in our nation's history when *none* of the branches were working? Yes, the judiciary seemed prepared to step into the breach--until SCOTUS ruined things again.

Good to see: On our pod, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social says Dems are in active talks w/a few GOPers about reining in Trump's abuse of tariff authority. Jeffries says discharge petition is a real option. The "pause" is an opening to get more aggressive. Transcript: newrepublic.com/article/1938...

The White House. The actual White House. This is the attitude of every abuser, who is now fearful of the consequences of their abuse.

I don't know . . . maybe it wasn't such a good idea to give so much power to a mean-spirited simpleton with no empathy.

Sure was a lucky break for those billionaires to be at the White House today when the tariffs were reversed. Good day in the market for them.

Pump and dump is illegal for everyone except Congress and the Supreme Court. It's called insider trading and it's how members of Congress and the Supreme Court get rich. 🤑

We have received many questions about Trump potentially invoking the Insurrection Act, which gives the president broad power to deploy the military within our country. Lawmakers, organizers and everyday Americans should be ready to respond quickly and effectively if Trump takes this dangerous step.

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

Call me crazy, but I don't think insider trading is included in that "presidential immunity" bullshit.

Trump said this today

They’re straight up lying to Americans

#Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 Pump and dump. That’s what the tariffs were all about. Look over here, while we Republicans steal your Medicaid from over there. A more despicable gang of thugs there never was. Want better? Vote better.

McGovern: "How is any company supposed to forecast for their future, build a plant, hire workers, if they have no idea what the hell this president is gonna do in his next tweet? ... I need a neck brace to be able to get through all this."

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

Clearly

Tariffs were just a distraction from what GOP wanted all along - tax cuts for billionaires that will be paid for by us when they gut medicaid, food & housing assistance, veterans health & assisted living for seniors. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

What a bunch of idiots. Trump lost, America lost - everyone was abandoning us. Nations don't trust us - we don't trust us. This was nothing but stupid and now we don't even know if he'll stand by his word this time.

10 national unions issued a joint statement demanding the release of detained immigrant workers, including Lelo Juarez and Kilmar Abrego Garcia. It could be the start of a more militant and coordinated movement to resist Trump's attacks.

‘They either don’t care that millions of American women will be stripped of their right to vote, or that has been their goal all along.’ Rep. Lori Trahan (D-MA) slammed Republicans over the SAVE Act, a bill that could block millions of married women from voting.

STICK WITH ME: Cathy Harris and Gwynne Wilcox have now been... Fired. Unfired. Re-fired. Re-unfired. Re-re-fired.

A week after my remarks on the Senate floor I am more energized then ever to continue to fight for Americans on Medicaid, Americans worried about Social Security, Americans looking for opportunity in their local economy.

Same. Why did they release a second season, anyway? The first one was terrible and should have been canceled no later than halfway through.
