Donald Trump's tariffs are the largest tax hike in US history on working families. The State of Illinois is suing his administration to stop his illegal policy that's brought chaos to our households and economy. Thankful for the Illinois Attorney General fighting back.

Sen. Jon Ossoff: "The allure of this policy...is that corporate America would have to come to the White House hat in hand, begging for their carve out, their exception, being told to pay tribute and he would be able to dispense favors as a king which is what he likes to do."

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

Isn't the ostensible justifications for these bloated athletic programs that they bring in revenue for the schools? Why make it an LLC except to allow it to keep it's funds for itself (and enrich some people it hires), at which point it's an end unto itself and the school won't benefit at all?

Today marks Yom HaShoah — the day of remembrance for the six million Jewish lives who were murdered during the Holocaust. It’s our responsibility together to fight the rise of antisemitism, bigotry, and hatred wherever it is found. Never again means never again.

THIS IS WILD‼️ Florida got $67M from a Medicaid fraud settlement. Instead of using it for actual health care, Casey DeSantis funneled $10M to a “charity” she controls. That “charity” passed it to anti-abortion and anti-marijuana groups—who then helped fund GOP campaigns. Both measures lost!

Trump’s "peace plan" for Ukraine was always going to be to try to break the international order, give a victory to Putin, and blame Ukraine. The underlying reality is of a war Ukraine must fight because it is under continuous bloody assault.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

It will be difficult enough to restaff the federal government. Dems will have to get creative. One thing they will have to do is waive the 5 year buyout rehire proscription. Currently it's a 5 year waiting period before you can seek federal office again. www.fedweek.com/fedweek/budg...
