I see tomorrow is Friday. Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day? Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else? I just can’t keep track.

One day he’s telling us that tariffs are amazing because they will bring lots of new jobs to the US and raise so much money we won’t have to pay income tax, then the next day he’s telling us we aren’t doing them because people were nice to him on the phone.

Son: Are we better off now? Dad: Well son, mom & dad have both lost their jobs. Our savings are gone, gas & grocery prices are up. We did, however, save you from drag queen story time. Son: What's that? Dad: A mythical thing they said was happening in your school, which we can't afford anymore.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why. What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.

Trump has stopped sharing intelligence and paused military aid with Ukraine. He claims he’s trying to make peace and end the war, but all he’s really doing is weakening Ukraine and strengthening Putin. Trump is a Russian asset. (The Harbor Building, Los Angeles)

We are working on launching an ALT DOGE website. It will soon feature a team page listing all of Elon’s staffers, our own wall of receipts (tracking the money he’s taking from America), and a section to help Americans keep tabs on the false claims on Doge’s website—which now exceed 52%.

"Is there anyone in America who is comfortable with him and his gang of 20-year-olds using their own computer servers to poke through your tax returns, your health information and your bank accounts?" — Sen. Elissa Slotkin on Elon Musk and DOGE during the Democratic response to Trump's address

For me, fighting fascism has nothing to do with thinking I’ll win. I don’t fight because there’s an inevitable outcome, I fight because I couldn’t live with myself if I didn’t do something.

In Trump’s SOTU address, he claims to be chosen by god and says he’ll take Greenland “one way or another”, “reclaim” Panama, impose punitive tariffs, end “wokeness”… A masterclass in wild egomaniacal bullshit and ugly threat, delivered to standing ovations. Christ America. You’ve completely lost it.

Donald Trump has banned UK from sharing US military intelligence with Ukraine. US troops, weapons, listening posts are in the UK, but the govt can't share intelligence with allies. Can't recall the UK holding a referendum to become the 51st state. www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news...

So much of the language around Trump is about power and specifically about making him look powerful. Journalists today writing that Zelenskyy 'bends' to Trump or 'kisses the ring'. You could equally say that he is successfully manipulating Trump.

Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy. All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us. That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

DOGE has seized access to huge troves of sensitive personal and national security information – and can’t even set up its own website securely. When DOGE fails to protect that data, it puts us all in danger. @repstansbury.bsky.social, @connolly.house.gov and I are pushing back.
