I may be my precise age but I remember people hyping me up about the historic “Teacher in Space” who was going to teach a lesson! From space! And we were going to get to see it! I also remember how that ended, so I’m going to just…ignore all of this hype until everyone’s back safely.

I wonder how much more of this will it take until we understand one election can change the course of history. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about this. I haven’t even been able to properly grieve my mama’s death because of the presidential campaign & the election.

Stephen Miller claims on Fox News that returning the Maryland father who was wrongly deported to El Salvador would constitute a "kidnapping" and "invasion of El Salvador's sovereignty." "He was not mistakenly sent to El Salvador," Miller lies. "This was the right person sent to the right place."

Corporations who donated to Republicans were more likely to get tariff exemptions during Trump's first term. Now, tech companies like Apple are getting major tariff carveouts. Who donated $1M to Trump's inauguration? Apple CEO Tim Cook. It's crony capitalism.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Trump administration refuses to return man who was deported to El Salvador in an administrative error. They say, only the President has jurisdiction over foreign affairs, not the courts. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

We must follow the lead of opposition movements in other kleptocracies: Put corruption at the center of our arguments. American government & foreign & domestic policy are being transformed to benefit not Americans but Trump & Co. Only voters can stop this change. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The Supreme Court granted Trump de facto impunity for his personal crimes ... and then expected him to obey their judicial orders? Impunity is impunity.

Like @repjohnbryant.bsky.social said, SB1 was this session’s first voucher vote. It funnels $1B in public funds to unaccountable private schools — most of it benefiting families already in private school. That’s not choice, it’s a handout for the wealthy. #txlege

Read this thread for a real life example of how these phone calls to elected leaders can and should go. It’s not hard. It costs nothing. But this kind of outreach, education and advocacy is vitally important and worthwhile. No one is coming to save us. This is how we save ourselves.

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs. That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result. #econsky

Wrecking our democracy, then our economy, GOP is determined to drag America backward. They just can’t decide if it is to Germany 1933, Hoover’s 1929, or Trump’s 19th-century robber baron “Gilded Age.” Watch my short floor speech:

I think he's just mixing up "tariffs" and "tributes." Rome collected tributes from conquered people as a demonstration that they accepted Rome's authority, and he wants the world to do that for him, Emperor of America, ruler of the world. That's why he thinks the foreign country pays them.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

I would like to issue a personal apology to the people in Canada, Mexico, and the rest of the world. Our current president is a very obnoxious narcissist. Sadly, he is dumb and knows nothing about the economy or history. He is a failed businessman. Someday America will be back. For now, apologies.

Q: 60 Minutes found 75% of the migrants who were sent to El Salvador do not have criminal records. That true? BONDI: They're not Venezuelan migrants. They're illegal aliens from Venezuela who should not have been in our country Q: So you're confirming they didn't commit a crime? BONDI: leaves
