Do those Democrats who argue that Dems need to “move away from woke” know that they are making common cause with these vicious, ignorant people? That they are participating in the weaponization of a racist trope that insults the party’s most loyal base? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/u...

Brilliant to eliminate Energy Star, a program that costs $32m but delivered $40b in annual savings. None other than the US chamber of commerce tried to save it as a model of business/government partnership. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/c...

Call me old fashioned, but I think any president creating a meme coin hustle to recruit anonymous financial backers and rewarding the biggest spenders with “a night to remember” private dinner with the president kinda feels like an impeachable offense.

When will americans pull a reverse uno and start publicly identifying Ice agents (and their undercover agents) and maybe even their families? Why do they get to enjoy society anonymously when they’re terrorizing citizens and immigrants?

🔹If you cut deals with our trading partners there won't be much tariffs revenue. 🔹If you keep tariffs high enough to generate revenue, you won't get deals. You can have deals, or tariffs revenue, but not both. Each flip-flop from one to the other drives paralyzing levels of uncertainty higher.

This the misrepresentation of colleges/universities the Right has been telling for your years and the NYT just repeats like it true. At best, it is a cherry picked to be correct, at worst just a lie. For example: 41% of Harvard seniors in '23 went into finance or consulting. 4% public service

Trump is getting killed in the public opinion war over his illegal deportations to El Salvador. Both WaPo and NYT polls find broad opposition to these deportations. And majorities of independents disapprove, a key tell. New piece on why this is happening: newrepublic.com/article/1944...

Me: There’s always a sense of unreality whenever he talks about economics. He says he’s going to slash your “energy bill” by 50%. He says the price of gas is “5, 6, 7, 8 dollars” a gallon. He says he will decrease the price of food by decreasing food supply. www.editorialboard.com/the-weirdest...

Sink the USS Project 2025 ship. Neo-fascism, Christian nationalism, is not acceptable in a democratic Republic, such as ours. We do not want a government, like Iran, ruled by religion, with courts and laws like the Old Testament. With the media and schools muzzled by thought police.

This was back in September of last year. No lies detected, @mcuban.bsky.social. We were warned; 77 million chose to believe The Felon's absurd Day One promises. I wonder how businesses are feeling about investing in manufacturing in the U.S. right about now, under Trump/Musk/Vance? 🧐

The El Salvador story is less about Abrego Garcia himself than about the right to due process. The assault on Harvard is less about the school itself (there are and will be others) but attempted federal control of private universities. 1/
