Didn’t have it in me today. Usually I’ve got a fire lit under me about everything Trump represents, but today it just felt heavy. The erosion of decency, the creeping authoritarianism, it all just sat on my chest like a weight. Tomorrow, I’ll shout again. Today, I’m just breathing.

Felon Enrique Tarrio (seditious conspiracy and obstruction of law enforcement), leader of the Proud Boys, thanked felon Donald Trump (deliberate falsification of business records), leader of the GOP, for pardoning him for his role in the attack on Congress and the police.

It will irritate me to my dying days when I think about how Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts delayed Trump’s immunity case for 9 months When he’s now ordering parties to file briefs on Trump administration emergency applications within 10 days

A ‘Vladimir, STOP!’ post on Truth Social appears to be Trump’s secret plan revealed to end the war. We have never looked more foolish and pathetic.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Jeffrey Sachs estimates that the Trump tariffs eliminated $10 trillion. That money didn't transfer or switch countries; it was destroyed. In a matter of days, one decision cost as much as 20 years of war in the Middle East or half the cost of the 2008 crash—by choice.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

The evil is just so blatant. It's cartoon villain shit. It's puppy kicking shit. The only possible way you can support it is if you do not care about other people, period. Trumpism is like if the Christian God designed the easiest morality test possible for Americans, and we failed.

my humble opinion is that if your job is to manage risk and make big decisions about markets and you screw up your judgement this badly you should be disqualified from ever managing money and also shunned completely from speaking on the subject in public again

I've never once checked Sunday night Dow Jones futures until tonight. In fact, I didn't know there was such a thing. Turn away if you like, but another $3 trillion of American wealth is poised to disappear tomorrow. Yes, markets rise and fall. But they haven't been pushed off a cliff until now.

Maya Angelou said, "Every storm runs out of rain." That proved true today about an hour after returning from an inspiring St. Louis protest in a heavy downpour. May Angelou's words also be proven true metaphorically. (Tip: Give placards their own ponchos. And always bring the American flag).

Weekend Update: 1) Trump declares he “couldn’t care less” if foreign automakers raise prices due to tariffs. 2) Trump wants America and the world to know he won’t be firing anyone in the Signal group chat. 3) Oh, and Trump is considering a military option to forcibly annex Greenland.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

When the State controls art you get, at best, pretty USSR propaganda posters. At worst, you get exhibits curated by a man with a golden toilet and a fella who, when shopping the world's warehouse of names, picked out "JD."

I learned this week that you can put our troops' lives in danger, compromise our national security, and violate the Espionage Act. And the government will do nothing. But if you write an editorial for your school newspaper that Trump doesn't like, you will be abducted on the street and disappeared.
