Most days I still can't believe Americans elected a fake real estate tycoon moron game show host POTUS once. And then after he incited an insurrection and was convicted of 34 felonies we elected him again and now even more sycophants suck his mushroom dick daily and pretend he's some kind of genius.

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.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

If they planned this from the start like they now claim—it’s not leadership. It’s market manipulation. Telling your followers to buy low, flipping trade policy mid-hearing, then the market soars? That’s not a coincidence. It’s profit-by-chaos. What else could it be?

The top five egg producers own roughly half of all U.S. laying hens. The biggest of those corporations is Cal-Maine, which just announced quarterly profits of $509 million — more than 3x what it made a year ago. Corporate concentration + bird flu = a price-hiking free for all.

Here’s what it is: magical thinking. Everyone sees in Trump’s actions what they hope will happen, irrationally. The fact that people have before stopped him from utterly wrecking things to them means things can never be utterly wrecked.

You’d think when you’re claiming the richest country in the world can’t afford childhood cancer research you might wait a year before throwing yourself a 100 million dollar birthday parade. But carpe diem, suckers.

This is absolutely horrifying. People can't afford to file Habeas petitions. And how is anyone going to enforce that this actually happens? And what about the people there that did NOT get due process?

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says regular folks won't mind if one of their Social Security check doesn't show up. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Americans ready to retire don't care about "day-to-day" market fluctuations. These people are robber barons with no empathy for normal people.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

This is circulating. It's misleading. The high percentages (e.g., 263% on chicken) only apply to imports that exceed the quota under Canada's supply management system. Within the quota, tariffs are much lower — often 0% to 7.5%. The US has these limits, too.

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

America is embarrassing right now. We destroyed ourselves at the hands of the dumbest supervillain. The greatest self own in modern history.

This is the economic equivalent of treating Covid with disinfectant and UV light. It makes sense when you realize by narcissism he pathologically believes he's brilliant and has special knowledge and powers, and by psychopathy he doesn't care who he hurts or destroys.

Crypto encryption is vulnerable to quantum computing. There will be a day soon when computers can crack bitcoin, and it will be worthless. That's why big holders are eager to cash out any way they can, using the US Treasury scheme for example. We should not let them convert the Treasury to bitcoin.

Rachel Maddow tonight in an interview revealed that the cuts to medical research have affected the research work that probably saved his life when he had a severe case of Covid. What sort of gratitude is that?
