The US economy is currently bigger than the next three largest global economies *combined.* Trump is blathering about the 19th and early 20th centuries because he thinks he’s living in the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Howard Lutnick, Trump’s billionaire buddy turned commerce secretary, has confirmed that the administration was simply lying to MAGA supporters about not touching Social Security and Medicare. newrepublic.com/post/191740/...

Post WW1 Germany fell into Nazism because of hyperinflation and economic chaos, America fell into it because of record low unemployment and folks liking to “do their own research.”

I don't even think it's out of hatred so much as it is about making a SPECTACLE of immiserating and psychologically torturing workers. It's a core part of his brand, and should be understood as a branding exercise.

Odd how the turns have tabled… Trump reversed course and admitted that Russia did, in fact, invade Ukraine. International news sources and independent media have stepped up to keep Americans informed.

This gets my vote for tweet/post of the year. This is a RED ALERT post. This is exactly why he’s doing it.

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

🫡🇺🇸 "Americans do not swear an oath to a king, a tyrant or a dictator. We swear an oath to the Constitution and the idea of ​​America, for which we are willing to die," — Mark Milley ❗️He said that every US military member gives his life to protect the Constitution, not to individuals.

US officials are reportedly threatening to revoke Starlink access for Ukraine if they don’t give us 50% of their mineral rights. That’s not diplomacy, it’s extortion. We’re also pushing them to kill a UN Resolution that blames Russia for starting the war. Facts matter.

All this bullshit immediately crumbles when it's presented to anyone who's not a sympathetic cohost on your podcast

Every day, they're testing how far they can take this. If they think they can take it all the way, they absolutely will. But we don't have to let them.

The Art of Extortion: Perfecting the craft of getting what you want through fear, threats, and pressure.

Illegally cutting cancer research and meals on wheels to pay for PR ads for themselves.

He nails it.

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

Correct. They bought nothing with their capitulation except disdain from their users.

Trump pardoned the sentence of arguably the single biggest drug trafficker in American history on his second day in office!

After sending over 400 ICE agents to Denver and Aurora, CO, and knocking on hundreds of Americans' doors, ICE made only one arrest. Now, Trump has removed the Acting ICE Director, Caleb Vitello. (WaPo)

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

Raskin: "It's becoming obvious to the American people that Elon Musk and Donald Trump are not opponents of corruption, they are agents of corruption."

Can we just seize the Russian assets already and give them to Ukraine? Good lord just do it

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

conditioning disaster aid that californians have paid into simply to force policies on californians who don’t want them is as straightforward an abrogation of the spirit of the union as one can imagine and red states had better be prepared to accept retributions in kind
