If these tariffs stick long term, they will be the end of the R party for probably another century just like they were last time and the time before that

This is rotten. We need to remember all of these asymmetrical abuses of power moving forward. They want to go scorched earth? Let’s go.

Just two shy of passing the measure. Let’s take the momentum from Booker’s marathon and turn it into political pressure on Senators this weekend to get this passed. Look for your local Hands Off! Rally this weekend!

Yes, our democracy IS under attack, but TODAY proves that it is still very much alive & kicking. From Booker, to the BIPARTISAN House vote, to the massive turn out & shift in Florida. The will of the people is strong. We are resilient & we are relentless & we full-on refuse to roll the fuck over.

It's getting a lot of attn today. But even before today most of the country had very little idea of what has happened at NIH or through it the entire ecosystem of biomedical research in the US. Simply put, Musk, Kennedy & Trump exploded a bomb right in the middle of cancer cure research in the US.

Trump went all in. Musk went all in. Said western civilization would end. Bought votes. Presler set up shop there. Kirk and all the podcasters went all in. The whole MAGA machine got behind Schimel. $53 million in spending including PACs. But Susan Crawford won easily.

A story that hasn’t really had time to surface yet is what will this do to Elon’s, and Trump’s, influence in the GOP? If you can’t buy a single judicial seat, how can you buy multiple congressional primaries? More to follow, certainly

Honestly loving, forgiving, and empathetic rhetoric is what we need in response to all of this hate. This is what it takes to win. I’m so proud that, despite the horrors happening on a daily basis, we still have great people like @booker.senate.gov

We have to find a way to change incentive structures. I think a great way to accomplish that with liars is to immediately humiliate them by highlighting the truth in the face of their lies

There were reports recently about a cancer vaccine being near. I guess we’re finding out why they call them “dark ages”

If you live in Wisconsin or in the 6th congressional district of Florida you’ll have a chance to do something the rest of us only dream about doing... [It's also an election day in many other parts of the country, too.] https://robertreich.substack.com/p/if-you-live-in-wisconsin-or-floridas

Of all the stories out there this one isn’t getting enough attention. I know the domestic stuff is more tangible but if the Dems don’t make this a campaign issue it will be near impossible to rebuild these relationships and easier for wars to start… not looking good for Taiwan right now

America has never been subject to this level of authoritarianism, and quite frankly, sheer incompetence. Out of the ashes, this moment should radicalize us to embark on an era of new reform — of our economy, our democracy, and our commitment to social justice and the law.

@schumer.senate.gov do you think we should wake up now or should we wait until after he “wins” a 3rd term?

I feel like the problem is that he knows this and uses it against us anytime he wants the subject to change. That said I’m not convinced that staying on signalgate will do anymore good for us. He’s not firing anyone and he doesn’t care about the security implications at all

It makes you wonder if the US is truly a developed nation or is it refusing to develop because it would mean less money for the .001%?
