Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

yeah man, please make my 85 year old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

This was three months ago.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

I am begging Democratic lawmakers to understand that trying to highlight any marginal upside for tariffs as a way of finding common ground in this moment is like making the argument that a compound leg fracture is good for building character. No one wants to hear that shit. Stop.

You effin’ dummies who voted for him trying to spin this shit show all because you can’t simply admit you were wrong are pathetic.

Bingo

Man it is really hard to be living in the USA right now and getting news about how South Korea deposed their president for staging a coup and then their Supreme Court just said yup, definitely the right thing to do there.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Also I hope we're all on this same page EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole they were ALL wrongfully deported. I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan' but NO ONE should've been sent there

How much untold pain and disgrace could have been avoided had a handful of GOP Senators had the guts to convict after the second impeachment? They utterly failed the test of history.

Don't let up on Signalgate. The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice. The entire discussion is fait accompli. Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates. Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

Hate to be millennial about it all but it is just mental that my whole working life has just been a series of recessions and “economic shocks”, underpinned by stagnant wages

Where are the Russian tariffs?

CNBC anchor on Trump’s tariffs: “This… is worse than the worst-case scenario.” There was zero reason for these tariffs—we’re not at war, the economy wasn’t struggling and we had strong trade partners. This is economic sabotage, plain & simple. Folks on the right not to stop pretending he’s helping.

Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.

It only makes sense if you realize that none of this is meant to help our country. It is done in service to Putin and the oligarchs.

Maybe voting for guy who was a complete disaster last time was a mistake?

It’s as if he’s a Russian asset, trying to destroy America from within.

well, a very big congrats to the idiots on Wall Street that ignored every single sign that he was going to do this

ALL of this was predicted. To all the pundits, reporters, business tycoons, and other “serious people” who cast the truth tellers as hysterics, this mad king insanity is also on you!

Harris Faulkner's Fox News show has been on for 20 minutes now. She has not mentioned tariffs or stocks once and a stock ticker isn't being displayed. Strong state media vibes.

The Civil Rights Act of 1965 will become the Civil Rights Act of 2028 The ERA of 1927 became the ERA of 1972 It will now become the ERA of 2028 The John Lewis VRA of 2023 will be the John Lewis Voting Rights Act of 2028 Make Roe v Wade the Law in 2028 Understand the assignment… Do not fail

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Trump’s tariffs will have to be in place for a looooong time if they are meant to force companies to bring manufacturing back to the U.S. That takes years. But if Trump uses them for extortion and corruption, a whole bunch of them will be dropped with a quickness.

The last time the US set tariffs this high, it was 1930 -- and it sparked a global trade war that caused international trade to PLUMMET. By 66%.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Alabama cannot prosecute people for helping others travel across state lines to access abortion care. This is a win for our freedom of speech and our right to travel freely.

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

A federal judge has ruled that Alabama's attorney general cannot prosecute people and groups who help Alabama women travel to other states to obtain abortions.

"You can't lead the people if you can't love the people." We're all with you, @booker.senate.gov

That asshole’s admin admitted that it mistakenly deported someone to El Salvador due to an administrative error, and won’t do shit to bring him back. That kind of “admin error,” means literally anyone who isn’t white could be disappeared into a hell hole for no reason without any recourse. ANYONE!

“The Trump regime, like every despotic autocracy before it, is making examples of a few to terrify the many. Into what? Silence, compliance, submission? Anguish?”

Confederate monuments were *quite literally* an effort to “perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history” by promoting the Lost Cause work of white supremacists who wanted to rewrite the history of the Civil War and, yes, Reconstruction.

We should all be terrified to live in an America where legal residents can be detained, held at gunpoint, or deported because of the color of their skin or because the President disagrees with their views.
