Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.

Pediatricians say that childhood vaccines are safe. A heroin-addled nepo baby with a brain worm says they may not be. For busy voters, it can be hard to know who to believe.

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

This isn't hypothetical. The coming days are bringing higher prices and disrupted supply chains, this time not because of a pandemic or a war, but self-inflicted by our country's government under this president.

"It’s not going to stop with Dugan. It’s not even going to stop with judges. The administration’s position is that state and local officials must assist the federal government in its immigration crackdown or face prosecution." — @snipy.bsky.social

New in PN: Arresting judges is a 5-alarm escalation "It’s not just that Dugan was arrested, but how she was arrested. The whole point was to cause a scene. There’s no allegation she was attempting to evade arrest, but the FBI still forced a sitting judge to do a perp walk at her place of work."

These charges are so stupid. There was an ICE agent **in the elevator** with the defendant after he left the courtroom. But oh yeah, the state judge somehow obstructed ICE because she let the defendant leave the courtroom through a side entrance. The Trump DOJ is run by morons and thugs.

Hi, I’m God. How many pandemics must I send before humans once again learn to revere scientists? How many millions must die? Not trying to be dramatic, just earnestly inquiring for My Notes. Thanks, God

This is where we are headed. If you don’t believe me, ask what basis the government had to send me and my family to a prison camp in Arkansas. We “looked like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.”

DOGE keeps cutting agencies and funding and personnel, but no one I know has saved a dime on taxes. It’s almost like they are stripping the public good of resources to send that money to the oligarchs in tax cuts…

This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

Heaven forbid that this simple-minded buffoon would allow his crashing the United State's economy, or the return of the remains of four people killed in our military, to interfere with yet one more stupid golf game for this superficial scam-artist to cheat at.

I hope Wall Street has figured out two things: 1. Trump is a disaster for the U.S. economy. 2. There is no price at which many of us would ever buy a Tesla. I wouldn't take it for free with a $5,000 rebate. I think they have an inkling of the first but are still in denial about the second.
