Impeach Trump.

So effectively we are moving to an archaic economic model used before income tax. Can someone please explain this to all of America. I don’t think they get it! 1. Income Tax 2. FICA 3. Tariffs

Tonight, between Booker and the Florida results, is a night to remember that the unraveling of American democracy is not inevitable. Trumpism’s vision for the future is not inevitable. We have a voice—and a vote too.

LONGEST FILIBUSTER IN U.S. SENATE HISTORY! 🔥 @corybooker.com

@booker.senate.gov amazing

Time to speak up

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

I wish news outlets would stop credulously embracing the “fighting antisemitism.” It’s so clear that’s a red herring for a broad based assault on higher ed.

Kai is right! Why do they legitimize such a statement? NBC is just feeding the malignant narcissist a dopamine hit.

Across the last 48 hours, “Signalgate” has morphed from one scandal into what I think is best thought of as five distinct overlapping scandals, as well as providing some fascinating political insight into who has power and how decisions get made in Trump II. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-five-s...

Apropos of the today's executive order, here's my class slide which summarizes the results of vote audits over the past decade or so. To a pretty close approximation, individual-level voting fraud doesn't exist in this country.

Uh oh the Trump administration accidentally added us to their group chat

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

I couldn't help but write up some quick thoughts trying to capture the sheer insanity (and illegality!) of that Trump group chat. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/six-short-...

Please welcome PRESIDENT @barackobama.bsky.social to BlueSky,,, working in my Flaverification,,,

@ruthbenghiat.bsky.social Authoritarianism scholar Prof. Ruth Ben-Ghiat joins WIRED to answer the Internet's questions about dictators & Fascism. This is excellent and well worth the time to watch. Prof. Ben-Ghiat has the unique gift of concise specificity. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vK6f...

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

We're living through not a "constitutional crisis" but a "constitutional crash" — the sudden, ER-style flatlining of the healthy biorhythms of our 249-year-old constitutional order. Our national system is dead on the table—can it be shocked back to life? www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/america-s-...

The eventual fate of the GOP

Habitat for Humanity. For fucks sake.

He was always a used car salesman at heart.

There’s going to be a huge march against musk trump and doge in DC and every state capitol this Friday, march 14h Show up! Let’s make this big.

NY Times: "MeidasTouch is a leader among the numerous digital-first outlets that have been rapidly reshaping the progressive media landscape since Mr. Trump took office."

Remarkable clarity in Britain.

Donald Trump’s America is commercial flights being delayed so Musk can fail at rockets.

I think Americans have to understand things won't go back to normal and no one is coming to save us. The self destructive decision to vote for Trump is going to cause long term pain, damage and weakness. We have to survive and try to rebuild something better. Generational effort sadly.

The mad-king President Trump & boy-regent Elon Musk accelerated this week the transformation of the US from global pillar of stability, self-declared leader of the free world, & beacon of democracy toward a global outcast on par with the world’s worst regimes. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-inte...

A reminder for these times.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company. It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create. They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms. I’m happy to invest and/or help

King Charles should rescind the state visit he offered Trump and give it to Zelenskyy instead

‘Move fast and break things’ only works for people who have never had to clean up after themselves.

1) You do not represent Donald Trump—you represent the United States of America. This statement is fundamentally anti-American. 2) Not only is this statement absurd and wrong, but it’s also grammatically incorrect. Trumps’?!

Now that Trump has ousted Brown, and the heads of the Navy and Coast Guard, the remaining top military leaders are all white and male, particularly striking given that minorities make up nearly 40 percent of the military and women constitute fully a fifth. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/king-donal...

Here is my third weekly dispatch, imagining how the US media *should* be covering the Musk coup if it was clear-eyed about the threat to our democracy. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-trump...

Folks: I am NOT affiliated with the group that is using my name to support an economic boycott. Please spread this post, if you would.

Gulf of America is the woke right’s “affirm my pronouns”—except there’s no conceivably generous interpretation of the ask. It’s just pure desire to dominate through arbitrary linguistic fealty displays, like Putin’s “special military operation” instead of “war.”

This is so smart. @petebuttigieg.bsky.social , thoughts ? And if you see this. A reminder. This is not Twitter. You can engage here and have thoughtful discussions ! We all look forward to reading your thoughts

My latest, where--with the help of Missouri AG Andrew Bailey--I strip down the MAGA DEI logic to its basic code: ~Male && ~White —> Less_Qualified (Translation: IF NOT Male AND NOT White THEN Less_Qualified.) www.whitetoolong.net/p/magas-dei-...

Given developments at the Kennedy Center, effective today I am resigning as artistic advisor to the NSO. Not for me. It’s been a wonderful 8 years working with Kennedy Center President Deb Rutter, fellow artistic advisor Renee Fleming, NSO artistic administrator Justin Ellis, and the entire NSO
