Here I react to the shameful behavior of American leaders and media toward the Ukrainian president. No doubt there were more, but I saw five failures on our side: of hospitality, decency, democracy, strategy, and independence. Please watch and share. snyder.substack.com/p/five-failu...

Voters oppose the GOP's tax cuts for the rich. By a 72%-13% margin, voters want to fund programs for low-income households over tax incentives for the wealthy. www.dataforprogress.org/datasets/pol...

I have been talking to the media, Time, Fortune, NBC, etc., to explain how the onslaught on science and NIH will impact the health of all Americans. Everyone knows someone who has cancer, heart disease, or depression. Spread the word about how cutting science impacts all. time.com/7216299/nih-...

Don't forget — Republicans are still trying to ram through another round of tax cuts for the rich. They're now reportedly trying to hide its huge cost by using alternative deficit scoring methods. They can't hide from the truth: it's yet another trickle-down scam.

The world’s richest person, without any actual authority, is infiltrating entire govt agencies and gaining access to sensitive info. And it's being done in an effort to slash federal spending in the name of "efficiency" so America’s wealthy can get another huge tax cut.

But does congress want their power back? It seems like it’s easier for the republicans to let Elon do the dirty work so they don’t have to take any responsibility.

He has no fucking clue what's going on! He won his get-out-of-jail-free-card election, handed over the keys to Elon and said "just let me punish my enemies and golf and make billions from crypto, and I'll go on TV and sign things and say very strong things very strongly."

Maybe tomorrow a <single journalist> might bother to find the Speaker or the Senate Majority Leader & ask why the hell they aren't acting to stop unelected people who aren't even federal employees from violating the laws Congress already passed, & to explain why this isn't a constitutional crisis? 🤷‍♂️

Since it appears that billionaire Elon Musk is effectively running the country, I’d like to have a quick word with all the right-wing conspiracy theorists out there. Hey, guys. Do you remember how you spent forever babbling on and on about shadowy billionaires? www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Oligarchy (noun): A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

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 Social Security and Medicare. 4) Repeat. Don't let them get away with it.
