I used to be puzzled by the history of Argentina, where my mother was born. How could citizens of the most economically successful county in the Western Hemisphere choose leaders with populist economic policies that ended economic growth and left them poor, rife with suffering and ladened with debt?

With the effort the CIA put into Castro, I really had expected more tbh. Always struck me odd that they don't interfere more

BREAKING: A federal court declined to issue a preliminary injunction against the National Endowment for the Arts despite saying the NEA likely violated the First Amendment for blocking funding for projects that promote "gender ideology." We will continue to fight for the arts and free speech.

A broke and destitute citizenry is a scared citizenry. A fearful citizenry is more docile and less willing to take risks and fight for their rights. They clutch what they have left close to their chest and obey. It's what he wants. Let's deny this motherfucker what he wants.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

On the lighter side of things, there are several types of flowers that are edible. Do some research and pick some petals. Magnolias, violets, and dandelions make excellent syrups, sugars, and more.

“Dr.” Oz will lead the destruction of Medicare and Medicaid. He has been confirmed by the US Senate. Way to go. You just screwed your kids, your grandkids, and some of you who still have parents! It isn’t everyday when you can do 4 generations of damage to healthcare for our most vulnerable.

President Trump and DOGE are targeting federal government workers because of their perceived political beliefs. But we're fighting back. Join the @aclu-dc.bsky.social on Tuesday, April 8th at 11 AM at the Office of Personnel Management to fight for federal workers who were unjustly fired.

Donald Trump's tariffs are a $3,800-a-year tax on your family. Everything you buy – from coffee, to cars, to clothes – is about to get a lot more expensive.

Love this from @pocan.house.gov on our pod: Cory Booker's filibuster resonated so deeply because it matched the energy the public is feeling right now. Time for Dems to do more to match that energy. Also note the criticism of Chuck, which is pretty sharp: newrepublic.com/article/1935...

He’s a disaster for everyone but Putin. Ask yourself why. He needs to destroy it all for two reasons. 1. He works for Putin, it started in the 80’s. It’s documented. Russia is the only country not on the tariff list. 2. When it’s totally destroyed he’ll claim “ Only I can fix it” Be ready

One of our state’s greatest victories in recent years was expanding Medicaid two years ago. That victory is at risk; we need to come together to defend it.
