Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

Of course they did insider trading, but (a) no that’s not the main game, the protection racket is, and (b) gosh it might have been a good idea to make that illegal then like AOC and others proposed instead of Dem leadership keeping it legal so they could do it themselves for years

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Tariffs? Out of control. Prices? Skyrocketing. Emergency powers? He’s abusing them. And yet… not a single question about whether he’s even fit to serve. The math ain’t mathing.

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

And the Dems who voted for the dirty budget CR, it let Congress give up their ability to review/stop these tariffs.

What I think was really beneficial about Hands Off is that people need to see (in real life) that they’re not alone. In-person events and marches can really fill up people’s fighting tanks, so to speak. And this regime has handed us a really really long, tedious, and difficult fight.

What's the point of interviewing anyone from the administration? Even if they have a contrary opinion they can't express it privately much less publicly for fear of getting fired. None of these people have power, they're all press secretaries

I think this is a big reason people are fans of DOGE, they don't realize all the hard work civil servants put in daily and how we benefit from it.

I don’t want to say “I told you so” but everything happening now is exactly what people like me were trying to stop when we voted for Donald Trump because he wouldn’t do all the things Donald Trump said he’d do

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

Bernie's on the Senate Floor railing against Trump. Doubt he'll beat Booker's time, but I think future records for length of speaking on the floor of Congress should be like Baseball- "longest speech by someone over 80, on a Sunday after Daylight savings time starts but before Easter". Etc

This reminds me of when COVID deaths were really high during Trump term 1 and Bill Mitchell started posting stuff like "what's so bad about dying anyway? Maybe the dead pity us!"

I'm rewatching "Barbie." From now on, The White House will be called the Mojo Dojo Casa House. Because Trump is doing to the US what Ken did to Barbieland.

The Sopranos is probably the Rosetta Stone of modern American reaction: it consists of people who bemoan the loss of an imagined past they mainly got from movies, claim victimization based on identity but hate when others do it, and view the people who build the society they prey on as suckers.

financial advice in a weird time: -- develop a plan -- find friends who support you -- preferably 10 of them -- steal $160 million from the Bellagio, the Mirage, and the MGM Grand -- yes those are Terry Benedict's casinos -- get your wife back -- one of the friends should be Don Cheadle btw simple

I'm so sick of these rich people telling most Americans to "suck it up" for the sake of tariffs. I still can't figure out what he thinks the tariffs are going to do. It makes no sense!

My oven is a pretty standard thing but it has this feature called "rapid preheat" where it will run both the broil and the bake elements together until it's within 50° of your target. This feature is approximately 700X more useful and interesting than having it connected to the internet.

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year. This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year. See what DOGE is really about?
