If I had donated to every request from great causes and signed up for every substack subscription I found in my email this morning it would have cost around $600. It's getting to the place that turning on the Internet is too expensive.

Trump is screwing over farmers BIG-TIME.

Tariffs are driving up the costs of selling their goods overseas, fertilizer AND farm equipment.

USAID cuts and soon-to-be SNAP cuts are taking away customers who would otherwise buy their produce.

It's just body blow after body blow.

Okay, let me get this right ↙️    - Pissing off moms  - Ripping off consumers  - Taking away voting rights  - Undermining the judiciary   - Tanking the economy  - Gutting Medicaid and  - Blowing a $37T hole in the debt    That is the GOP's agenda this week??? Stellar job guys. 👏

I'm going to say something that will likely get me yelled at but USians on the whole are simply NOT going to countenance higher prices. This is a population that expects cheap goods as a birthright. A population that absolutely will not "sacrifice" on the whole for some nebulous goal.

I’m going to be as clear as I can. Climate change isn’t coming. It’s here. That’s why TFG wants Greenland and Canada. Because in a very short time, the southern half of the US will not be able to sustain human life. And he wants to rescue the white people that live there. Plus rare earths for Elmo.

It's been reported "Mike Waltz's contacts on Venmo included journalists, government officials, active and retired service members and members of congress. There was evidence Waltz had sent or received payments on the platform." WHY IS NOBODY ASKING WHO'S PAYING WHO FOR WHAT?

You know, I was just reading the latest news on the Signal chat clusterfuck, and the calls for Hegseth to resign or be fired. And, suddenly it occurred to me that maybe we should slow down, because he might not be the bottom of Trump's barrel.

I absolutely LOVE Bernie & AOC but the fact they are a 2-person show during a COUP & NO OTHER DEMS could bother to join them on their tour is a VERY BAD SIGN. Remember the show of solidarity in Europe for Zelenskiy?? Yeah, we need that HERE, a show of SOLIDARITY by DEMOCRATS for DEMOCRACY.

Trump's science denial, racism and sexism will trigger a brain drain that weakens the United States. MAGA is trashing our leading role in the world to wallow in greed and ignorance.

Horrifying: After the contract tracking Ukrainian children abducted by Russia was terminated, the underlying evidence of these potential war crimes seems to be missing, a bipartisan group of Reps just charged in letter to Rubio. Two GOPers signed. Details here: newrepublic.com/article/1929...

Zephyr Teachout argues convincingly that the abstract concepts of the 1960s and the old ACLU no longer fit the times... We need a brand-new Free Speech Movement and a new Underground Press. #resistance #fascism #freedom www.thenation.com/article/acti...
