If "Immigrants didn't steal my job - the President did" is not the centerpiece of the Dems messaging from now on, this party cannot be helped.

These stupid mother fuckers are going to close hundreds of nursing homes, homeless shelters, abuse shelters, and transitional housing for hundreds of thousands of Americans including veterans, seniors, women, and children. These fucking monsters. Flynn is such a piece of shit.

Trump’s unilateral decision to impose a 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico is most likely illegal and most definitely harmful. Economists estimate that these will increase costs for the average American family by as much as $1,200 a year. We need to drive prices DOWN, not UP.

There appear to be at least three separately operating heel factions breaking things within the government in wholly different ways right now. There's the Miller-headed immigration one, the DOGE/Elon one, and a Project 2025 OMB one. This dynamic hasn't showed up in mainstream reporting at all.

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE full access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

Tariffs on construction materials, alongside mass deportations of construction labor, could wreck housing affordability in the next few years. State and local policymakers need to be pulling out all the stops to legalize affordable typologies, speed up permitting, and slash fees.

For a photo op & a bragging media post, Trump minions at the USACoE have thrown away millions of gals of #water farmers were relying on for later this year. This water will not be captured, will not be useful for cities or farms or firefighting. It is now lost. www.latimes.com/environment/...

Musk is the culmination of a slow-moving corporate coup by the oligarch class that has been decades in the making. But that doesn't change the fact that this marks a new and unspeakably dangerous chapter.

The Inspectors General refuse to leave until the action is taken legally, which they do not believe it was, and neither do senators like Chuck Grassley. This is what not backing down looks like. static.politico.com/b3/3e/5baf92...

Genuinely surprised to see people I know continue to use Twitter - including intelligent uni people, Jewish folk & small businesses. I can't imagine how they rationalise that after the last week.

“Elon is just trolling and thinks fhe Nazi salute is funny,” What does a Nazi have to do to make MSM believe they are a Nazi? Promote Nazis on the site they bought? Support the far-right in Germany? Talk about Nazi ideas? Oh, wait. The total inability/complacency of MSM couldn’t be more clear.
