Sitting in the Montana state legislature today watching them debate anti-trans sports bans again. They have had more anti-trans sports bans bills here than there are trans athletes in the state of Montana.

Prices are soaring, your 401k is in the tank, Social Security phone lines are hours long. Instead of addressing any of that – this administration is picking a fight with Denmark.

This is what happens when you boost American manufacturing with incentives and investment. Trump’s volatile, punishment-based approach to reviving US manufacturing isn’t going to inspire much investment from the private sector.

When they lie the bombing plans were not classified, take hostage visa holders because they said something they didn’t like, remove people with tattoos to an El Salvador prison without due process…they are telling us they reject the rule of law and embrace a fascist future as a pariah state.

Remember that the people on the Signal chat include the US negotiators on Ukraine. It is no wonder that Putin is twisting them around like taffy at the county fair. #signalgate

Trump destabilizing the US economy —> collapse in equity markets —> fewer IPOs —> PE firms raise more debt to help them cash out. This does not end well, unless we get lucky and future leaders undo Trump’s policies before the economy blows up. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Claims of massive fraud by Elon Musk and President Donald Trump are at odds with reams of audits and reports on the Social Security Administration’s spending. But some of the biggest examples of allegedly wasteful spending held up by Musk and DOGE so far have been overblown or inaccurate.

Why do we still pay income taxes when DOGE shut off almost all of our public services? Where is our money going? Where?!

As all these audits are ending, Trump is now free to release his own tax returns, right?

Remember all the fearmongering about "death panels" during the ACA debate? Take a look DOGE.

Important. Either Trump is so far gone mentally he doesn’t know what he’s doing, or people are acting in his name without his knowledge. This was an order with enormous implications, and the President of the United States says he didn’t do it.

"On October 8, 1931, a law went into effect requiring every Italian university professor to sign an oath pledging their loyalty to the government of Benito Mussolini. Out of over 1,200 professors in the country, only 12 refused. All of them were immediately fired." www.chronicle.com/article/what...

We laugh, but history sometimes turns on small, dumb things. (Not sure if this was one of them, but immense events often come from tiny things. Imagine if Frank Wills hadn't checked the door at the Watergate.)

If Trump is serious about shrinking the trade deficit, he should start with changing the rules that allow US multinationals to sidestep taxes at home. @jonathanjlevin.bsky.social explains 🇮🇪🎥

Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away. They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.
