Truth

President Trump and Republicans’ national sales tax is the largest middle-class tax increase in a generation. All while they cut taxes for the wealthy. This will increase costs by more than $5,000 a year for the average family. We need smart trade policies, not reckless ones.

This is true: The Trump administration said it has imposed a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory, whose only inhabitants are the U.S. and U.K. service members at the military base on Diego Garcia.

If you were a halfway decent human being and you knew an innocent man was rotting in foreign prison—likely suffering nightmarish conditions—because your administration screwed up and send him there, you’d do something about it immediately instead of shitposting lies all day.

Assigning Sen. Thurmond’s “longest filibuster” of the Civil Rights Act to the dustbin of history is a powerful part of the story. Because no matter what, that’s where they’re all going, no matter how hard they fight it. Men who fight the future are the most foolish of all men.

This "error" means that this regime can pick up any American, anywhere, and ship them to a foreign prison without due process. We should grind this country to a halt over this.

These men behind bars are not in prison after being charged with crimes. They are "enemy combatants" being detained in a concentration camp. As such, Kristi Noem's crass photo-op using them as props violates the Geneva Convention's prohibition of ‘exposure to public curiosity’ of those captured.

Layoffs at NOAA, which warns us about severe weather Attacking NIH, which finds cures for illnesses Dismantling SSA, which administers Social Security payments Terminating food inspectors and food safety committees at the USDA... The "specifics" of DOGE put us all at risk.

Rumeysa Ozturk must not be deported. You can't kidnap someone off the street for their political views — this isn't Moscow. She has every right to speak her mind. I've contacted the Administration. I want answers.

Plain clothes, unmarked cars, pulling people off the street. Gestapo shit.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

President Trump’s 25% auto tariffs will include car parts, a significant escalation in his trade fight that is likely to cause supply-chain chaos and increase prices for consumers significantly. Follow live updates.

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.

Hegseth is literally denying a story that the NSC has already confirmed and in which receipts were printed verbatim. Remember this the next time he impugns another journalist.

Elon Musk's PACs have spent over $13M backing Trump loyalist Brad Schimel in Wisconsin's Supreme Court race. If Schimel wins, the court could uphold a total abortion ban, attacks on unions, and gerrymandered maps — and change state law to benefit Tesla. Follow the money.

Re-reading Gatsby and I can’t imagine why this line stood out: “They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

I would like some assurance that the “VP” Hegseth is referring to is not Vladimir Putin.

Medicaid is a lifeline for millions of people, including 50% of Minnesotans in nursing homes. Democrats are fighting to protect Medicaid from Republicans who want to take away health care just to give tax breaks to billionaires.

Something we haven’t focused on enough is that the Trump administration isn’t just deporting people without process, it’s deporting them & incarcerating them in inhumane conditions in a third country. And we are paying for that cruel & unusual punishment that our government is imposing.

The Trump Administration has cut 2,000 workers from the U.S. Forest Service, making it harder for the service to fight wildfires and repair storm damage across the country. “I feel like my community has been gutted,” one fired staffer said.

Why is Trump waging a war on the Department of Education? Because he knows that his biggest enemies are educators and younger generations of learners who are unafraid to speak truth to power. Attacks on education are central to the fascist playbook.

"Private-sector employment increased by an estimated 77,000 jobs in February, according to ADP. That’s a dramatic drop-off from the strong job growth of 186,000 seen in January and barely half the 142,500 net gain that economists had expected..." www.cnn.com/2025/03/06/e...
