The Strategic Petroleum Reserve has been handed over to a private company. In an oligarchy, control of national assets is privatized. The US DoE web site says this contract was awarded after a "rigorous competitive selection process". How stupid do they think we are? oilprice.com/Latest-Energ...

Here he is today, deeply concerned about economic hardship caused by his tariff scheme.

North Carolina - Check to see if you are on the thegriffinlist.com For everyone in NC who has ever ordered from me, I looked for you and didn't your full name, or your last name matching the zip code you provided to me (except one last name starting with G). Go look for your friends and family!

Big news: on a bipartisan basis the Senate just voted to reject Trump's tariffs on Canada. The House has to vote on it next, where it's less likely to pass, but the cracks are starting to form. Trump is losing support from Republicans on his costly trade war.

TODAY: Our friends @moveon.org are hosting a safety and de-escalation training. A core principle behind all of Saturday’s Hands Off! events is a commitment to nonviolent action. This training will teach you how to recognize, respond to, and diffuse tensions while staying focused on your goals. 👇

Amen! Thank you, @corybooker.com, for YOUR leadership and FIGHT on behalf of the Democratic Party! +…

Lesson #13 from @timothysnyder.bsky.social: Practice Corporeal Politics. "Get outside. Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them." Watch this. Then join us outside nationwide on April 5th: handsoff2025.com. open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

On April 20, 2025 or before, Trump is preparing to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 under a false/manufactured pretense that the southern border is under invasion. It will be the precursor to martial law in America. Call your representatives. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Musk’s AI Grok calculates that Elon's DOGE cuts will kill at least 3.88 million people worldwide and 520,000 USians. #3E

Writing an op-ed is not illegal activity. They are revoking visas for thought crimes and for constitutionally protected expression.

A reminder about the Smithsonian: the Vice President has a seat on the Board of Regents (defined by law). But he’s not chair of the Board, or vice chair, and he’s not on the Board’s executive committee. Structurally he has one vote.

When I was 17, I opened my first checking account w/a couple hundred bucks. I didn’t meet the min monthly deposit, so they kept charging fees until I owed them money. It stuck with me—I still won’t bank w/BofA. There’s no upside to this move for anyone who isn’t rich—just cruelty for cruelty’s sake

This is a naked, vicious attack our right to vote; an effort to illegally bully their way into the policies of the SAVE Act because they know they can't pass it through Congress. Trump has no authority to do this and we must fight it every step of the way. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Moments ago, Donald Trump signed a massive voter suppression executive order. This will not stand. We will sue.

🧵I know what the Trump administration is doing to the country because they’ve already done it to rural America. They stripped public schools of funding. They closed our hospitals. They sold family farms for parts. They let our infrastructure rot. And then they gerrymandered us to keep us quiet.

replacing our next town hall toolkit with a video of this guy 🫡😭

I organize online, but I show up in person. We can’t just throw hot takes out on social media. We have to call, write, testify, and march if we can. Show up and they’ll know the resistance is real.

No help on the budget or the debt ceiling until the lawbreaking stops. Period. End of story. Josh Marshall @joshtpm

Yep.

The "free speech" crowd strikes again. $WYNN

"This is not a minor transgression. This is an illegal act. They stormed into buildings, they shut down agencies illegally." - @schatz.bsky.social

Wyden on Musk's gaining access (via a pliable Secretary Bessent) to the Treasury's federal payment system: "They are seizing the tools they need for a coup"

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options. Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

Arrest Guantanamo

if I understand American politics correctly, progressivism is something that requires 60 senate votes to work, while national conservatism doesn’t require any votes at all
