Tariffs. Stock market down. Medicaid slashed Secret police throwing anyone who looks Latino in unmarked vans. National guard and marines deployed in LA. No end to the wars in Gaza or Ukraine Bombing Iran This is the worst first six months of any presidential term in my lifetime.

There is no “one and done” in any conflict. The opponent always gets a vote, and unless we’ve prepped for all the things Iran may do we’re gonna have some surprises.

So these tech execs don't have to pass a fitness test or take a Direct Commissioning Course, but they'll be commissioned as lieutenant colonels and retain huge conflicts of interest? The symbiotic relationship between the tech bros and the Trump administration is insane! gizmodo.com/silicon-vall...

Cuomo doesn’t just get to rehabilitate himself from sexual harassment because he’s rich and powerful. He gets to because he’s a man. It’s the same situation for everyday, ordinary men, while women from all walks of life are not just denied justice but punished for asking for it

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

Gonna say something obvious to most: real masculinity defends the defenseless, punches up not down, has compassion, and fights only on behalf of others to battle injustice or evil. It doesn’t just lift weights and tweet in all caps and listen to Rogan and grow a beard to feel accepted by other men

We’re not going to sway the MAGA cult by pointing out Trump’s racism, sexism and criminality. Apparently, they’re good with that. But if we focus on how his policies hurt regular people on issues like health and the economy, we might have a chance to loosen his grip. My Stop the Presses newsletter.

Totally inappropriate and really unprecedented for a cabinet secretary to overtly intervene in an election of an ally like this. And even more wildly (though unsurprisingly) on behalf of the pro-authoritarian party.

Authoritarians are threatened by the best among us. Throughout history, such regimes have targeted universities, scientists, & public intellectuals in an effort to undercut expertise & undermine public confidence in it, thus making the populace more dependent on the views of its own "dear leader."

Trump is, by far, the most corrupt president we've ever had in this country. His second term will be looked back on as one of the uglier stains on American history.
