Just reiterating this. I'm so tired of saying, if Democrats were doing this, these Republicans would be jumping up and down. But they've all given in to Trump.

Elon Musk is locking government employees out of government systems and demanding access to the government's entire payment network. This is not legal, of course. www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the check out line. The tariffs Trump is unleashing tomorrow on Mexico, Canada, and China — our biggest trading partners — are estimated to cost households an extra $1,250 annually.

Trump imposing massive tariffs means we, consumers will be forced to pay for the tax cuts he promised to his wealthy oligarchs. That is 100% the truth. How does it feel that Trump is screwing over the rest of us to make the rich even richer?!

Trump and MAGA's ongoing coup is almost complete. Maybe Democrats will learn that civility and norms mean nothing to an aspiring authoritarian. Maybe they'll evolve and adapt and learn how to fight against this threat.

This. The Administration's conduct up to now, plus the sorts of people that currently surround the President (e.g., Vought), should move your prior probability on the likelihood of the Insurrection Act being invoked at some point to greater than 50%

Unelected agents of a oligarch have seized core services of the state without legal sanction or authorization; yes, that's a coup

"Presumed Growth" is (1) highly speculative and (2) does NOT translate to increased revenue to offset the massive tax cuts for the top 1%. Again...screw everyone else so that the billionaire cabinet can compile more billions.

Honest suggestion for @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social #dncchair meeting - tear up the agenda tomorrow. Don't cancel the vote but hold a press conference on the shit that's going down. Don't wait on Jeffries and Schumer. The media isn't going to cover it until someone treats it like an emergency.

Glenn Kirschner on MSNBC said this purge and other recent actions, summarily firing civil servants, is completely illegal. Will the fascist SCOTUS uphold the law? Or let him make himself a dictator?

Brendan’s my colleague at Dartmouth and I consider him one of the most level-headed political observers. More level-headed than me. And this is what he’s seeing.

For the next 4 years, it's time for Democrats to stop being so eager to play nice and appease Republicans. They're not really Republicans any more. They are MAGA. If your name isn't Donald trump, they're not interested. They're not playing by the same rules. They're not playing by ANY rules.

Trump is an old white man who was elected with no qualifications just because he reflected the fear & loathing felt by other white men And he wants surrounding him other white men with no qualifications precisely because they’re the only people he can trust youtu.be/YfwlBiqnB8s?...

Good afternoon and Happy Thursday to everyone who agrees that if you can't admit, in 2025, who won the 2020 election, you have no business being considered for the Attorney General of the Unites States. That is disqualifying.

Say what you want about Biden, he’s not out there claiming he actually won the election and sending a mob to the US Capitol to “fight like Hell” or they won’t have a country anymore. Republicans rightly condemned Trump on this day in 2021. He was unfit then. He is unfit now.
