Boebert calls it like Trump, “One Big, Beautiful Bill.” It slashes oversight, fast-tracks oil & gas, and kills land plans shaped by local input. Colorado deserves policy, not propaganda. #politics

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

April 30, 1964, downtown Anchorage looking east on 4th Ave from F St. A month after the Good Friday Earthquake with visible damage but also people carrying on with their lives. Some quake accounts make it seem like Anchorage was levelled. #alaskahistory #alaska #anchoragehistory

Boebert calling Tesla vandalism “terrorism” is overreach. We have laws for property crimes—no need to bloat definitions. This sets a dangerous precedent and distracts from real threats.

Trump eased the 25% tariffs on Mexico & Canada today—exempting USMCA-complaint goods for 30 days. That still leaves $500B hit, especially oil, cars & parts, aluminum, baked goods, & more* Aluminum is of particular note since it'll be hit with an additional 25% tariff on March 12

Oh Lauren, bless your heart. As a constituent, the plot twists in your press releases are edging out my favorite Regency romances. Let’s clear this up...see thread.

Stephen Miller and Homan’s goal is to shock and awe blue cities to terrify whole communities. They’ll deliberately targeting businesses, schools, hospitals churches and other places of worship. They want Americans to be afraid. Mayors and governors must stand up to them. Lawyers get on standby.

There is a lot to be concerned about here, but let’s also remember executive orders are technically wishes. They need to be supported by the constitution. The legal battles are about to begin. Trump signs executive actions on Jan. 6, TikTok, immigration and more www.npr.org/2025/01/20/g...
