Big man…with security

I think it’s really good that people are protesting in their own states and cities because it shows that these protests are community driven. Americans can fix this authoritarian slide. They can fix it, but running for office in their own cities and towns. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

These are frightening times. Your courage and tenacity are desperately needed. They will be needed for the rest of this year and next, and the years thereafter. Which is why you must also take care of yourself. robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-tho...

Just gonna leave this here…

All I’m saying is that President Harris wouldn’t have us looking at the futures market on a Sunday night.

The best case scenario is that this is a stock shorting scheme, and in a week, there will be masterful (non-existent) "dealmaking" that removes the tariffs after the billionaires buy the dip causing a massive transfer of wealth. That's the *best* case scenario.

As the economic news keeps coming out over the coming weeks keep one thing in mind: this is the fault of one man and didn’t need to happen.

The real threat to American jobs…

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

Just a reminder that Grubhub is a Bezos/Amazon joint. Delete your Grubhub app and leave them behind. 🙏💙

ALL the incompetent liars on the Signal chat need to resign or be impeached and removed!

She’s so concerned and would like to talk about it but she’s confused too and can’t find her way back home.

“'Just the way he conducts himself is somebody — he repels people,' DeSantis said. 'He’s repelled people in the legislature.... and now he's going to be in Congress'...” Quite the endorsement! www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

💥 NEW by me: Levi's Board of Directors defends DEI, tells shareholders to vote on April 23. Levi's Board: “we believe in the strong business case for a diverse and inclusive workforce... it is a competitive advantage and serves as a driver of business results.” www.thequeenzone.com/levis-shareh...

NEW: Cory Booker Sets Record with History-Making Speech Watch the highlights 👇

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm. "Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

It took a lot of stupid to get here but we did it

This is who Mallory McMorrow is and she's running for US Senate in Michigan, where I live. She is a woman of bold action, not lame performative tactics that the old establishment has gotten us used to, and have also gotten us where we are are. I can't wait to campaign for her.

BREAKING: There are actions across the country today calling for the immediate release of illegally snatched and detained union members Rumeysa Ozturk and Lewelyn Dixon! ICE is acting like the gestapo and we can't turn a blind eye. Repost if you demand their release! #4The1st #MomSky

If Tuberville can stop all promotions in the military for months to make a point about abortion, Gallego can stop the plunder of the VA, an already woefully understaffed organization, with people determined to cut benefits for veterans to give tax cuts for the rich. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

so my favorite dive bar in WI passed up showing tonight’s Bucks game so they could show live poll results. when the election was called for Crawford, the whole bar started chanting, “Fuck El*n”. the bartender pulled out the good stuff and handed out free shots to us all—an absolutely electric nite

Prediction: every successful new Senate Dem candidate this cycle will run against Chuck Schumer. It's good primary politics and it's good general election politics. No brainer.

🙃 “I’m honestly shocked. I thought we had it in the bag,” said Pam Van Handel, chair of the Republican Party of Wisconsin’s Outagamie County. “I thought [Musk] was going to be an asset for this race..." www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

“We must dissent because America can do better.” Good to hear Wisconsin Judge Susan Crawford quote Justice Thurgood Marshall in her victory speech tonight.

Trump and his family stand to gain substantially from their corrupt crypto ventures. The rest of the economy will be subject to large and unregulated risks. Beware. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-crypto-inc

Regardless of anything else about the Wisconsin race, it's just a relief to learn that money can't always buy elections

No matter WHAT he says today, it’s a tax increase. He’s enacting a HUGE tax increase on the American people. It’s a tax increase. Period.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

Bravo!🔥

Thoughts prayers meh

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

Correct
