BREAKING: Trump has caved on imposing tariffs on Canada, following his earlier announcement regarding Mexico today. Tariffs on both countries will now be delayed until April 2.

It’s 2025 and chickens are allowed to get vaccinated but not US citizens.

Trump and Musk going to be taking even more money out of your pocket

What drives me crazy about the anti-DEI rhetoric is everyone wants to be judged on merit. But you can't be judged on merit if you can't even get in the door because you don't fit some prejudiced definition of who is capable and who isn't

Trump and Musk do not give one flying fuck about the elderly or disabled

Remind you of anyone? [Cartoon by Brendan Loper]

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

Thanks Biden!

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012. Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place. A thread.

When you don't study for the exam

Damn.

👇🏽🤔 (We don’t know who made this… but 🎯)

Just realized we can save America if we all pretend Elon Musk is cool and funny. It’s like the peoples of Middle Earth quietly agreeing to lie to Sauron that his ska band rips so he’ll call off the orcs.

Boy this aged like fine wine!

well...we're waiting!!!

Jessica: Biden oversaw the best recovery in the G-7 by far and away. Unemployment in this country is lower. He extended the number of people who got access to affordable healthcare, medicaid expansion. We're producing more oil than any other time..

🚨NEW from @americanprogress.bsky.social: After-tax incomes for everyone—except the top 1%—will go DOWN under Trump's economic plan. Billionaires get richer. 99% of Americans lose money. www.americanprogress.org/article/prog...

LFG AOC!!!!!

A CBS News investigation found dozens of law enforcement leaders — sheriffs, captains, lieutenants, chiefs of police — buying and illegally selling firearms, even weapons of war, across 23 U.S. states, Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C.” www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/pol...

If you're more upset with Biden being forced to consider the extraordinary step of peremptorily pardoning his own officials then you are about Trump appointing someone who’s promised to use the federal govt to exact personal retribution for Trump, then you need to think a little more critically.

Jeffries: "We've seen repeatedly amongst my extreme MAGA Republican colleagues that they say one thing to the American people before the election and then do something different after the election. House Republicans said they were gonna protect Social Security and Medicare ... "

Ok I’ll bite. What are Pete Hegseth’s qualifications to run a 3 million person, $800 billion military behemoth if he has never run anything bigger than a platoon, was run out of the conservative military charities he led due to alleged mismanagement and had to be babysat at Fox due to his drinking.

When I see research results like these here my conviction to teach people a basic gut feeling of data grows stronger. Folks think that one in five people are transgender?! That’s soooo off. People think that 40% have served in the military?! That’s one of the reasons I share so many charts and maps.

A commenter on our YouTube channel sums up Trump’s picks

Friendly reminder Matt Gaetz is a pedophile and unfit for office.

Good info for folks who might have to argue with Conservative family members next week at the dinner table www.epi.org/publication/...

Here’s all the Democrats have to do on Trumps cabinet appointments: Vote no on all of them. The vast majority of people will not care and it shows your core supporters who are paying attention that you give no quarter to fascism.

Quick reminder: Trump nominated a pedophile to be the top law enforcement officer in the land. Good work maga

Since Matt Gaetz resigned from Congress, I’ve been fielding a lot of calls and support to run for the seat he’s vacated. While I deeply appreciate the support, Gay Valimont ran a solid campaign against Gaetz this cycle and is best positioned to run in the special election. gayforcongress.com

For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors. Is it any wonder that so many see the system as rigged?

Trump will continue to say tariffs are paid by other countries. They're not. A tariff is basically a sales tax passed onto consumers by importers. It's also regressive — taking a higher % out of the paychecks of working people than the wealthy. Hope that clears things up.

It’s the Senate’s last chance to pass the PRESS Act

Donald Trump made a major promise on the campaign trail, but, legally, it will be all but impossible, a legal expert said.

Can this be a Gate? Brett-gate? Kavanaugate?

my favorite Kris Kristofferson story remains this one townhallmeeting.org/2021/01/18/h...

Senator Bernie Sanders proposed legislation to reduce the standard workweek in the U.S. from 40 hours to 32, without a reduction in pay. The law, if passed, would lower the threshold at which workers would be eligible to receive overtime pay. nyti.ms/3TzFHLM
