With Trump saying the tariffs on Canada and Mexico will happen, this is a great tutorial on our energy use ans what we buy and sell Follow @mrglobaltoo.bsky.social. He cuts through the misinformation and spits out the facts

The tide is turning & the fever-dream grip Trump has on so many is melting away. Trump & Musk are slashing & grabbing what belongs to US: our jobs, our retirement, our healthcare, our safety, both here & abroad. People are waking up & saying HELL NO,Trump & Musk have to go. Let's show them the door.

Thank you to @maddow.msnbc.com for promoting @bsky.app on air and complimenting it. Her on air support is truly important

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

Ask elected Dems to please stop using & linking to X, thereby promoting Musk’s business. Imagine if the entirety of Democrats in the Senate & House left X & moved to Bluesky at once, en masse, as a statement against conflicts of interest in government! Add to your list of issues when you call!

I wonder how one possibly justifies any of these actions

Hey does anyone know when we pay our taxes this year, do we write the check out to Donald Trump or to Elon Musk? It’s so confusing.

Reporter: Why do you want to be chairman of Kennedy Center board? Trump: Some of the shows were terrible. They were a disgrace. Reporter: Have you seen any shows there? Trump: No, I didn’t go.

Tesla sales: Down 41% in Germany for 2024; a 59% drop in January 2025. France: down 63%. Sweden: down 44%. Norway: down 38%. Netherlands: down 42%

When Leavitt & other Trump people say he is “delivering what he promised his voters”, journalists need to push back that Trump explicitly denied even knowing about Project 2025, which he is now enacting. So that is NOT what he promised voters. It is the opposite. He lied. Just say it.

Any four Republican Senators could stop this at any time simply by threatening to block all action (or even caucus with the Democrats) if Trump doesn't make certain concessions. They won't, but that should be a much bigger story than whether the Democrats are doing everything that *they* can.

Love this!

hey question, is this bad?

Imagine if this series of events happened under Biden: Jan 20: FAA director fired. Jan 21: Air Traffic Controller hiring frozen Jan 22: Aviation Safety Advisory Committee disbanded Jan 29: First American mid-air collision in 16 years

It’s all messaging.

Marvel star @SimuLiu gives a personal message about Trump’s plans to give massive tax cuts to the ultra rich. We need more celebrities (and politicians) speaking up like this.

Well, then there is this.. Trump’s EO on “gender ideology” seems to neglect the fact that at conception rather all fetuses are female (aka lack sex organs). If referred to the chromosomes buildup, the order does neglect classification of intersex people 1. EO 2/3 Explanation (source Mashable)

FBI chief Chris Wray warned that White Nationalist domestic terrorists are the greatest threat to Americans’ safety. Trump just pardoned leaders of these groups. Musk gave nazi salutes in agreement with their ideology. Where are the headlines? Where are the mics in GOP leaders faces on this?

Every headline should be: TRUMP NO LONGER ‘BACKS THE BLUE’, pardons cop-beaters & seditionists. GOP agrees by their silence. No longer “party of law-and-order”. NYT needs reactions from white voters in midwestern diners.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

All these women who turned in January 6 terrorists are in danger tonight

So basically it’s now okay to beat police officers to death & threaten to kill politicians, as long as it’s for Trump and not against Trump… do I have that right? Just checking since that seems to be the message.

It’s important to know the facts when there’s so much disinformation being spread!

If Trump had an ounce of decency he’d donate $150 million of that overstuffed Inauguration fund to the CA fire victims as proof he “cares about the average American”. Not that I expect him to, but shouldn’t reporters & media be asking him to every single time there’s a microphone near him?

Inflation hitting every country after a pandemic that disrupted the economy in every country means the cause of inflation was not any US policy. The US curbing inflation further and faster than any other developed economy means US economic policy was a success. It's really not he said/she said.

I'm joining Ms. @ayesharascoe.bsky.social to talk about Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Ann Telnaes' resignation from WaPo on @npr.org today on Weekend Edition 9.12am My Saturday interview with Telnaes below:

Next level MAGA self cannibalism! Can’t say I don’t live seeing it.

The Mump Oligarchy – A Glossary 1/10. Mump regime. Musk plus Trump. Mu...mp. The real centibillionaire and the fake rich person in the proper order.
