1. There’s a remarkable grassroots revival of anti-monopoly law underway. States across the country are moving to check corporate power and rebalance markets in favor of workers, small businesses, and consumers. It's a welcome bit of good news, as I write in @promarket.bsky.social:

'As NPR’s Steven Inskeep put it: “[the] president has launched a trade war against the world, believes he can force the EU & China to meet his terms, is determined to annex Canada & Greenland, but is powerless before the sovereign might of El Salvador. Is that it?”' open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Republicans are trying to steal an election in North Carolina. They have been laying the groundwork for five months, and unless the federal courts intervene, they just might succeed. If they do, it could usher in a new era of election subversion in future contests across the country.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

Your Republican rep shouldn’t be able to walk their dog without a neighbor yelling “TRAITOR!” from the porch. Let the streets remind them. Let your voices haunt them.

Republicans in North Carolina are stealing votes. We must stand up for our right to vote.

Trump essentially told the Supreme Court to kiss off today. This is, by definition, an autocracy, explicitly illegal. Stand up now or it will be too late.

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

Exiling people beyond the protection of US law without due process is not only unconstitutional, it's a rejection of the entire American revolutionary project. Sending people "beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences" is one of the grievances enumerated in the Declaration of Independence.

The House just passed its budget resolution, so reconciliation is now officially underway. This is their bill to destroy Medicaid and SNAP while cutting taxes disproportionately for the rich. THIS IS VERY REAL and can be enacted even if all Ds vote no. Thread on what's to come and WHERE TO FIGHT.

I protested along with 2,000 of my fellow citizens in Durham, NC on April 5. It felt cathartic to take what action we can in response to the cruel destruction wreaked by the Republican regime.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. We must overturn Citizens United. Every day, it corrupts our politics and erodes our democracy.

Great editorial by Dr. Christina Greer in #NYT "As the “I didn’t think he would do this” chorus continues to grow, I can’t help but think what many really mean is, “I didn’t think he would do this to people like me.” 1/n

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.
