Thank you SO MUCH for coming on the show, Marshall. Your insight is invaluable to this fight and it’s important for the younger gens to know what we had, what was taken, and how to take it back. 🔥💪

Big thank you to The Dangerous Ones for giving me a chance to talk about a different path for America, one our parents and grandparents believed in, but has been buried by two generations of nihilism and self-interest by the tiny group that’s made trillions by hollowing out our country’s soul.

What is Neoliberalism? It looks like progress. Sounds like logic. But it’s just an agreement among elites that your life should cost more and mean less. @mherskovitz.bsky.social breaks it all down here:

So grateful to James and Tiffany and Nick for the chance to talk about what America could be if we took back the power from the tiny group of people getting rich by running it into the ground. This is not revolution - it’s going back to rules that made America the hope of the world.

The Public Broadcasting Act of 1967 created the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. I reread it today; nothing in the law allows a president to defund PBS and NPR. In fact, Congress specifically sought to insulate public media from political pressure.

Sam: It’s all wrong By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy.

Tariffs: when you tax your own citizens to teach another country a lesson they won’t learn.

If any of our great WWII leaders - Eisenhower, Marshall, MacArthur, Patton - witnessed a United States cabinet behaving like this, they would vomit. There is no version of America that elevates this kind of spineless toadying. www.mediaite.com/tv/cnns-ande...

Hundreds of replies to @spencerhakimian. The tariff implosion is already happening and going to get worse. Trump’s “plan” is not a plan. Not enough capital, workers, skill, or time to manufacture a quarter of these things in the US. And they would cost too much anyway. State-sponsored suicide.

Paramount, Disney, and others will live in shame for forgetting that America's bounty comes with responsibility to protect our precious freedoms, as those before us did. Already rich beyond measure, these folks can't imagine anything more important than a merger. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/b...

We need a running tally of the disasters wrought by Trump's administration, but this piece is a good start: Destruction of the economy, trade, defense alliances, research, abdication to China in world influence. The list is endless. We are already a pariah. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/28/b...

In an extraordinary on-air rebuke, one of the top journalists at “60 Minutes” directly criticized the program’s parent company, Paramount, in the final moments of its Sunday night CBS telecast, its first episode since the program’s executive producer, Bill Owens, announced his intention to resign.

Charlie Sykes shares a letter the late, great Roald Dahl wrote in 1986 about the death of his seven year old daughter from measles and how vaccines could have saved her. Everyone needs to know about this and understand WHY vaccines are critical. Please share and thanks, @sykescharlie.bsky.social

Over the last 10 years, the prices for the bottom third of homes have increased 124%.  It’s time Congress passes bills like my Stop Wall Street Landlords Act, and help younger Americans afford homes and build wealth.

This kind of pact is what we need across society: industry, media, law firms, NGO’s - any sector likely to be targeted by Trump. It’s something each of us can do for our country. A new and profound definition of community.

He’s weakening our country. He’s weakening our economy. He’s weakening our alliances. He’s weakening the free world. He’s weakening our influence around the world. And Putin keeps smiling every single day.

While the gospels say that Judas led the Romans to Jesus, a new theory is gaining traction with some Biblical scholars. There is evidence, some say, that Judas merely shared Christ's location on an insecure group chat that accidentally included several Roman officials and journalists.

This tweet has more than 5 million views. No, you cannot dissolve the Supreme Court. Arresting anyone who tries to enforce the Supreme Court's order is akin to what happens in Russia, North Korea, and Venezuela. But, maybe that's what this poster wants.

On X, Jesse Kelly telling his 800K followers we need to be a totalitarian police state. Btw, 80% of undocumented immigrants are already deported without judicial proceedings, because they were either caught upon arrival or had been deported before. Only 20% are entitled to due process anyway.

The biggest mistake the Constitution’s authors made was to not give federal courts a way to enforce rulings if the executive branch refused. The only remedy was impeachment/removal of officials who refused to enforce, and that assumes Congress always acted in the best interest of the country. Oops!

1) Douthat is correct: much of what we knew and loved about our world - relationships, having kids, reading books, etc. - is already in the process of extinction. But what he leaves out is that every one of those extinctions was the result of business decisions-- www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/o...

1) Law firms' refusal to cooperate in resisting Trump is a perfect illustration of the poison of neoliberalism. The time-honored practice of promoting lawyers from within firms was replaced starting in the 80's by poaching lawyers from other firms-- www.nytimes.com/2025/04/19/b...
