“Whatever adjectives American progressives might use to describe Democrats—feckless, weak, pathetic—the Canadian Liberals are the opposite. In fact, they may be the most successful left-of-center party on the planet,” Daniel Block writes:

Cohn: "Tariffs are highly regressive. Meaning that poorer people end up paying a disproportionate percentage of the tariffs."

This is what a rigged economy looks like: In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker. In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker. This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker. That has got to change.

I have to admit, they looked pretty good last night!🙂 Game four is going to be big! Go Wolves!!!

Are people allowed to say this on Fox News?

Trump said he had a plan. What happened?

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

The fact that Donald Trump made a complete spectacle out of pulling Kamala Harris’s security clearance but seemingly has no problem with Pete Hegseth still having his tells you pretty much all you need to know.

If someone is arguing against due process, just ask them if they believe someone is innocent until proven guilty. It's the same thing.

Straight talk from a Japanese representative about the Trump tariffs. Listen to what he says!! #MomSky #Voices4Victory

Stop calling it deporting, so MAYBE more Americans will get it. "Deporting" is sending someone back, after due process, to the country they came from, where they arrive a free person. This is human trafficking to a foreign torture prison for the rest of their lives. GET THE LANGUAGE RIGHT.

A friend of mine has coined the term “Pinocheting” to describe what the government is doing to these prisoners.

Ukraine is beating Russia—sinking their fleet without a navy, killing 800,000+ invaders, and holding the line for 3 years. Donald Trump wants to save Putin. He won’t say Russia is the aggressor. Let’s be clear: there’d be a cease-fire if Russia…stopped. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/ukraine-is...

This isn’t America First—it’s America alone. People don’t realize the path Trump has us on. While he waits by the phone for Xi Jinping to “negotiate,” Xi’s out making moves—touring Asia and cutting deals with European leaders to make China less dependent on the U.S.

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

This man doesn’t just sound like an idiot, he is an idiot.

Exactly. And if he had committed a thousand crimes, it wouldn’t be a heavy lift to prove just one. But DHS and the White House offer nothing but conclusory bullshit.

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

If you're a billionaire, then you'll barely notice a few thousand dollars a year in higher prices at the store from these Trump tariffs - plus you can count on him to get you another big tax break for the wealthy. But for everyone else, this is a big deal, and a bad one.

Sure was a lucky break for those billionaires to be at the White House today when the tariffs were reversed. Good day in the market for them.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

You can not go back. the world is in a completely different place than it was back then, even 10 years ago. Countries can and will develop other trade routes!

I don’t even know what to say here. We’re talking about a generational posting crashout. Lmfao NOW you’re concerned about conflicts of interest.

Trump 2024: Millions and millions of you are going to be screwing in little screws to make iPhones.

Not joking: as of today Donald Trump is the absolute greatest destroyer of wealth the country has ever had

Tim nailed it 🔨

My favorite part of #HandsOff at the MN Capitol was this band drowning out hate preachers behind them

Minnesotans of all stripes really turned out today #handsoff

With the way our stock market is going, I’d be surprised if Greenland or Canada don’t make an offer to buy US.

This seems like a bad idea

Da fuq?

The optics of Trump demolishing the economy and then peacing out for some R&R at a Saudi-funded golf tournament held at a private club he still owns and profits from aren’t great

I don't think I have to add anything to this!

Donald Trump has declared bankruptcy six times.
