Let me remind you that Trump and Republicans' biggest legislative priority right now is tax breaks for billionaires. They're squeezing you for everything they can so billionaires can get a huge payday.

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

I'm not the most avid Christian, but even I find the use of the cross as a prop when engaging in blatant falsehoods in the name of extraordinary cruelty to be offensive.

Van Hollen says that he asked the VP of El Salvador why his government continues to hold Abrego Garcia even though he’s not charged with any crime and there’s no evidence that he’s MS-13. “His answer was that the Trump administration is paying the government of El Salvador to keep him at CECOT”

If the agent of an embittered KGB officer somehow won the US presidency and entered into the office bent on destroying the USA in its national influence, network of alliances, and the American people’s quality of life, what would he be doing differently?

Today, Trump’s 10% tariffs go into effect which serve only to raise costs for the American people. Here’s a statement the White House released today: “The President won his second round matchup of the Senior Club Championship today in Jupiter, FL, and advances to the Championship Round tomorrow.”

Judge Boasberg, a former prosecutor appointed to FISA court by CJ Roberts and a former roommate of Brett Kavanaugh, is hardly a leftist. Good to see him uphold law against Trump admin.

Dems should start with the premise that Rs can be pressured to buck Trump on tariffs. Do not assume it's hopeless. Hound them relentlessly: Rs and Trump are hiking your prices to fund tax cuts for the rich. Take it to red areas. @normornstein.bsky.social and me: newrepublic.com/article/1936...

Two-thirds of both houses of Congress could undo this whenever they want by passing a bill over Trump's veto taking all power to set tariff rates away from him. Tariffs are set by law. The Constitution gives the president no power over tariffs--only our current laws do that.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

As everyone grapples with the enormous tax increase Trump imposed even while greenlighting the Senate plan for tax cuts for people like Elon, remember that Elon ALSO carved a $500B hole in IRS revenues with his chainsaw.

Regardless of the court's authority, you would think anyone with an iota of integrity in the Trump administration would demand his return themselves. In effect, they have admitted they grabbed a guy, who committed no crime, to serve an indeterminate sentence in a Salvadoran hell-hole prison.

This truck—featuring a song-ified version of #KneePadBrad Schimel's description of crawling around begging for money—made the rounds outside the Brewers game today. Given the Republicans tweeting #JustCallHimBrad over on Elon Musk's website, it seems like it hit a nerve.
