This was always about cutting the federal government so the tax cuts for the very wealthy don’t expire. This was never about “efficacy.”

Brilliant but devastating editorial in the Financial Times. “In the past 10 days, he [Trump] has all but incinerated 80 years of postwar American leadership. If you are not at the table, you are on the menu. America has turned.”

Commerce Secretary Lutnick is still out there claiming that he wants to replace income taxes with tariffs. My response: "The problem with that is that it's quite simply impossible." The only other problem is that it's also a bad idea. Let me explain.

Chris Murphy: "This deal that Donald Trump just cut with the mayor of New York -- it's a big deal ... they did that out in the open on TV because it's a signal to everybody else out there that the law will be applied differently to you if you are loyal to the president."

One challenge going forward is that right wingers live in their own Fox Bubble. That creates a real cognitive problem with getting right wingers to act.

I think it’s not helpful to repeat claims that the administration is working on eliminating “DEIA” as though it’s some kind of corporate strategy; just say explicitly that they’re trying to eliminate diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility, and explain how.

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

Dan Caine, Trump’s new replacement for Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, reportedly told Trump, “I love you, sir. I think you’re great, sir. I’ll kill for you, sir.” He also put on a MAGA hat, despite it violating military protocol.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Democrats should go to all these ruby red and vulnerable GOP districts where voters are upset at Trump and Musk and court them. Full court press.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position. You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

What the fuck does this even mean? They are just terrorizing millions of hard working Americans for sport. Trump and Musk are the most anti-worker public leaders America may have ever produced.

I mean, this is ridiculous too. CBC has its flaws (like all big media corporations) but it does care about fact-checking, it corrects errors, and it has some incredible journalists on staff. Keep perspective, people, and don’t let partisanship rot your brain!!!

Interesting thing for the President to say about a person who, according the government’s lawyers, “has no actual or formal authority to make government decisions himself” and “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.”

When these inaccuracies were first found, they could be called "mistakes." When DOGE took efforts to cover them up, they can no longer be considered "mistakes."
