In every single interview I’ve done with international media since Trump took power I’ve been asked: Why are there no mass protests? There are many reasons, of course, but the utter refusal of the self-proclaimed “fourth estate” to communicate clearly what is happening has to be high on the list.

Begging the universe to please provide quick transaction lines at drugstores. You know, the “I am here to pick up the prescription you texted me that is ready and I have my payment right here for you, thanks, bye” line.

“There’s too much going on. It’s overwhelming.” If that sounds familiar, this piece is for you. Jay Kuo breaks up Donald's latest power plays into three categories: bad, worse, and worst. It may sound heavy, but understanding them makes it easier to stay informed without feeling buried.

In addition to Congress being the place that makes the laws, pretty key thing, the constitution explicitly says Congress gets to create the postal system. It’s not left implied that that comes under law making generally. The President has no power to unilaterally abolish it and move it to commerce.

I don't think the Dems can stop the firings. But why aren't they proposing legislation that assures those that took the buyout get paid , and that all that are fired, get at least a year severance and health benefits? And any one with a health condition is covered the entire time they are sick?

The Mississippi Legislature is NOT a "public body" and NOT subject to the Open Meetings Act under state law, a judge has ruled. That means a quorum of House Republicans will be able to continue to meet and make key legislative decisions in private. #MSLeg @nickjudin.bsky.social reports:

A good moment to remember the Russia thing was always real. Trump's goal is to help Russia and Putin, always has been. He's trying to throw our democratic allies under the bus and America as well. Again, the Russia thing was always real.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

For years I have watched Medicare Advantage commercials with a sick feeling. The more people who sign up, the more likely Congress and the WH will argue that we no longer need traditional Medicare. That’s on the agenda. Raise holy hell about it.

Pope Francis' remarkable rebuke of JD Vance and Trumpism lays bare an essential truth: Trump is overseeing a massive and systematic abandonment of obligation to the global poor, and Vance's theological obfuscation can't make that disappear. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1914...

This is an incredibly helpful and informative post - @sifill.bsky.social has done the legwork so there’s no reason not to get moving. Such an important reminder that you are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it. What can you do, where you are, today?

Keep this in mind: Trump and Musk and their minions are going to claim all this is necessary to combat "fraud" and "irregularities" -- same playbook as election fraud: no proof, keep repeating it on X and on Fox and in the far right fever swamps so that the base just believes it's true.
