Just a random reminder that trickle-down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.

Spent the last hour answering my 7yo's questions about the plot of #LOTR (focused on Legoas' role, but still). We're watching the animated LITR & ROTK today, he's ready!

Media is a powerful tool for resisting erasure and hate. Likewise, it can also be used to further them. It’s critical that media companies stand by diverse stories in a time like this. Now is NOT the time to be losing representation like Heartstopper. #SaveQueerStories savequeerstories.carrd.co

“After we’ve discriminated against, deported, or disparaged all the immigrants, the gay and lesbian and transgender people, the developmentally disabled, the women, and minorities. Once we’ve ostracized our neighbors and betrayed our friends… what comes next?” - Gov. JB Pritzker

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

The sooner we collectively realize that Elon Musk is a shitposting, conspiracy-addled fool, who needs to stay out of public policy not upend it, the safer we’ll all be.

We have been careful to avoid using the word coup, but it’s time to call it what it is—this is a coup. Trump signed an executive order granting only the attorney general or the president the authority to interpret laws executed by the executive branch.

These absolute morons are going to destroy the United States. If you’re in favor of the US leaving NATO, you either don’t want the US to succeed, or you don’t know wtf NATO does. Worth noting that Mike Lee voted to expand NATO in 2022.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

A SpaceX rocket exploded in January, leading to FAA safety violation fines. Elon Musk threatened to sue the agency. Shortly after, the FAA administrator resigned. The FAA's commercial spaceflight office could be next on the DOGE chopping block. See the problem? www.propublica.org/article/elon...

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on. Now.

This is Oligarchy. The three richest men in the world have become $196 BILLION richer since Donald Trump was elected. $196 billion for three men in 99 days. Meanwhile, 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

When Trump took office, the NLRB had 24 separate investigations into Musk’s corporations for violating workers’ rights. But presto...Trump fired three officials at that agency, effectively stalling the board's ability to rule on cases. See how this works?

Conservative billionaires are funding a coordinated effort to dismantle public education to pay for private school vouchers that largely benefit wealthy families and enable corporations to avoid their fair share in taxes. Now they have a friend in the White House.

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

@khanna.house.gov -- the greatest crisis for our democracy since the Civil War is going on right now, and you choose to abstain on the motion to subpoena Musk? What is wrong with you? How much did that cost? I mean, how much did that cost our country? I am sure it worked out nicely for you. Coward.

Elon has 23 staffers. Once the dust settles, you’ll never find a job again. America will remember. Someone will take the fall—and we know exactly who to hold accountable. Stop the games. Quit hiding your names—it really doesn’t work.

We're in the midst of a constitutional crisis. The world's richest man is effectively orchestrating a coup. At the very least, Senate Dems should not be confirming any of Trump’s nominees for any agency while this power grab continues. Nothing should be "business as usual."
