Anyone have that sinking feeling happening?

Trudeau: "Every country is very aware that if the American government is willing to do this to their own closest ally, neighbor, and friend, everyone is vulnerable to a trade war."

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

Let's see @governorwalz.mn.gov set up a war room and give us weekly briefings from the Opposition. I love this idea starting at 11:14! youtu.be/z9plfI3HvoY?...

and for NO LEGIT REASON. you can’t pardon one of the biggest drug traffickers in history and then claim you’re enacting tariffs to make other countries get tougher on drugs: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Some woman veteran who happens to have the last name Hegseth should just start issuing orders as Secretary of Defense.

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

DOGE recommends cuts to the FAA. Hundreds of workers get fired, including those tasked with producing air traffic navigation maps. Now Starlink is reportedly in line to take over a $2 billion contract to upgrade the nation's air traffic control systems. See how this works?

The Wall Street Journal congratulated Bezos as its ideological "wingman in the fight." If that is what you are looking for, by all means, support WaPo. Instead, if you are looking for fearlessly pro-democracy news, analysis and opinion, support Democracy Docket. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

The economic black out is tomorrow. I'm participating.

KNOBS AND CRANKS KNOBS AND CRANKS

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

Ruhle: Do you consider yourselves left-wing media? Jordy Meiselas: We cast a big umbrella here, and more so than anything, I consider ourselves unapologetically pro-democracy. If you're pro-Constitution, pro-upholding norms, and pro-democracy, there's a spot for you on our roster.

These people are simply evil!

Our allies in Canada are fighting fascism in the U.S., as they’ve fought fascism before. And by “our,” I mean #WeThePeople, the Resistance, who are determined to restore democracy so we can proudly rejoin our allies. Thank you, Canada.

Last night Canadians again booed the US anthem and they were right to do so.

RFK being an addict isn’t the issue — no one better understands drug misuse than a former user. RFK being a fanatical pro-life, queerphobic, mental illness-denying anti-vaxxer, ‘nutrition huckster’ and conspiracy theorist is the issue. www.motherjones.com/politics/202... @annamerlan.bsky.social

As I was saying, it’s all about celebrity with these clowns. They don’t care about you. He plays dictator like Kim Jong Un, while washed-up hacks like Kid Rock cheer him on. Meanwhile, they burn through taxpayer dollars for ego trips and photo ops—while you’re left with nothing.

A U.S. Economic Blackout — a nationwide economic protest — is scheduled for Friday, Feb. 28, 2025. On this day, participants are encouraged to refrain from making any purchases, both online and in-store, from large corporations.

I’m not sure Schumer’s credibility could get any lower among the people. No one seems to really believe any of this. His fights seem at best staged events to mask an underlying trend of capitulation.

Many are asking: “What can I do now?” Here’s a revised and expanded list of actions you can take, in rough order of importance. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/more-on-what-you-can-do

Finally, we’re starting to see some fight. We need more of this 🔥 🚨Trump’s decision to shut down USAID has frozen critical work to deliver vital assistance around the globe, and put China in the driver’s seat.

OMFG! 🔥🔥🔥🔥Rep. Jasmine Crockett: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 "We are going to be in your faces, we're gonna be on your ass, we're going to make sure you understand that this is what democracy looks like!"

Kash Patel should never work at the FBI, even as an intern. Demand your Senators oppose him right now:

Super cool to learn that the Supreme Court can excuse handing over the power of the executive office to an unelected billionaire but apparently draws the line at forgiving student loan debt…

People are getting up off the mat.

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Dear Mexico, Canada, Panama, and Europe: 100 percent tariffs on Tesla.

Put this up everywhere, make sure folks know their rights.

The Dumbest of Trade Wars enacted by the Dumbest Administration for these Dumbest of Times.

There is no case for Kash Patel. Every Republican senator who votes for Patel is abdicating his or her constitutional responsibility. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/o...
