As a citizenry we need to collectively determine how we punish those who capitulate to Trump.

Re: the SAVE Act. This bill is mostly performative as almost everything in the bill is already law. The name-matching on the birth certificate that COULD disenfranchise people who have changed their names since birth. Senate should amend that part for clarification and be done with this.

Dear Democrats: Primaries come before the midterms. Now is the time to make sure your incumbent (if you have one) REALLY represents you. If they don't and theres no better primary opponent, maybe it should be you! runforsomething.net. (They focus on under 40 candidates but will help all)

Seriously

So the dickhead in chief just did a 90-day pause on most tariffs (Except China). What a lout. The dumbest part besides starting an unnecessary trade war that diminishes the USA, is that a pause just continues the uncertainty, and with China still tariffed, things will still be more expensive.

Something got to be done about the US Supreme Court

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

This is what we used to call "Required Reading" now watching/listening. Pass it around.

Echoing what others have said about news coverage of Saturday’s protests. I was in Santa Ana CA. Easily 5,000 people there and more in cities nearby. Our local media weren’t even there. National media, including NPR, used the words hundreds and thousands when millions is clearly accurate in total.

So Yahoo Finance and CNBC seem to have tried to pen some positives by talking about a “dramatic reversal” because the DOW went up a bit before falling again. Their bullshit Trump-simping titles show in search but disappear when you follow the links

I hope we don't miss this moment.

youtu.be/r366jCea82M?... I appreciate Whitehouse's presentation style. He's always very clear and on-point. Great information and stark warnings in this.

Bernie Sanders is the Leroy Jenkins of the left. While everyone else was sitting around discussing and planning their response he just got up and ran straight at it!

I just saw this too. WTAF is happening here? And $1.4B? Does it cost the government 1.4B to run it now? Why are we paying this? Who are we paying this to? Seriously WTAF!?!

JFC!
