TL;DR: The new U.S. tariff rate against our two largest trading partners is either 10%, 25% or 35%, and so far no one I've reached out to at the White House is able to tell me which.

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

Really good night for Dems. Rs passed the WI voter ID amendment, but it didn't - as they hoped - transform turnout for Schimel. Ds hold WI court, hold WI superintendent of public instruction, flip a number of mayoral offices in IL. Rs hold FL House seats but margin down by half since 2024.

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

A Maryland father was wrongly deported without due process and is now trapped in a dangerous El Salvador prison, torn from his family. ICE calls it an "administrative error." We call it a grave injustice.

Tesla wants a dealership in Wisconsin. Seeing that xAI is being used to bailout X, it's pretty clear Tesla needs to earn so he can keep up his machine. Buying elections is his business plan. Don't let him use us as his next bailout, Wisconsin.

The payment to a Green Bay man, which Musk announced Wednesday night on his social media platform X, is similar to a lottery that Musk’s political action committee ran last year in Wisconsin and other battleground states before the presidential election in November.

Yes a shutdown would have consequences. And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible. They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way. Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

Nancy Pelosi says Schumer is wrong and the House GOP's CR is worse than a govt shutdown. "Democrats must not buy into this false choice," she says. "Let’s be clear: neither is a good option for the American people. But this false choice that some are buying instead of fighting is unacceptable."

Musk has now poured $8.3 million into buying the tie-breaking Wisconsin Supreme Court seat for Brad Schimel. That is vastly more than any other single donor—to eliminate a state-level check on his and Trump's power. Help us fight back and elect Susan Crawford: PeopleVMusk.com

These tech bros philosophy bubbles need to get popped. They aren't consistent and aren't honest in their arguments. How can you argue, "God is dead!" Then say, "God is alive and he is listening!" Bc they are lazy/dishonest and just have opinions. Stop pretending they are logical when they aren't

Will they actually wait to prove illegal protests are happening? Based on how they"investigate fraud" the answer is no. No evidence. No proof. Just snip snip away at our rights and freedoms.

There were a few tells today: 1. Russian state media in the oval and White House press being told it was an accident. People don’t accidentally get in the oval. 2. The group dynamic. Trump needed backup. 3. The full-court press in the media afterward to define Zelensky as disrespectful.

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am. This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.

This admin has a lot of gall talking to Zelensky that way after attempting to extort him twice, gutting their own VA, threatening invasion across two continents, calling their allies dictators, and telling everyone they should be thankful they even care since nobody endorsed their race. Abhorrent.

Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years. Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.

From Opinion “Politicians are allowed to criticize the press,” writes the editorial board. “But there is a difference between using language and using muscle.” The Trump administration “is mustering the arms of government to suppress speech it doesn’t like and compel words and ideas it prefers.”
