Pretty incredible that Jeff Bezos' Amazon announced a "$5 billion-plus" partnership w/ a Saudi AI co launched by Mohammed Bin Salman and sent CEO Andy Jassy to meet with him less than 7 years after MBS murdered Jamal Khashoggi, a columnist for Bezos' Washington Post. techcrunch.com/2025/05/13/a...

It was only a matter of time before a president who sold hats and bitcoin just decided to take it to the next level

This is not what "greatness" looks like. Cruelty is the MAGA feature. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/06/u...

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

A modest request: In reports about Trump's endless, lawless exec orders, maybe point out that he *does not have* legal power to do these things. Trump did not "make it official" or "make good" on this bullying, as @semafor.com contends. He has ZERO official power to do this. King Canute dept.

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?

Remember, Trump's pretense for acting to shut down Democratic funding platform Act Blue is the unsubstantiated claim that it accepted foreign money. Meanwhile Trump is operating a massive scheme to accept foreign gratuities for his own personal enrichment. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/u...

As Trump grifts and receives illegal emollients he tells American families to live with less. Let them eat cake! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/u...

Stop calling it "Trump's" tariffs. It's the Republican's tariffs. They own it. They are tanking America. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/u...

It’d be cool if the ppl who kicked & screamed about the phony Biden bribery story (where the FBI informant went to prison for lying) at least pretended to care about Trump blatantly selling access. (cc: @MarshaBlackburn @SenatorHagerty @RepTimBurchett) newrepublic.com/post/194420/...

From Book Bans to Canceled Lectures, the Naval Academy Is Bending to Trump www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u... Our military is weak and running scared. Paper tigers.

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/b... I guess elections have consequences. vote blue.

Marco Rubio is truly little Marco, a shit stain of a human being. A dweeb. Weak. That is his legacy.

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/b... What bewilders me is the silence from the @USSenate who could stop this

*On the 24th of May we go to the streets in Amsterdam !* 👉🏻_join the protest that bring movements together to work towards solidarity and social justice in the Netherlands and beyond. Resist the 'divide and conquer' strategy by right wing politicians. We can stand together. Join us!🌼 🌐 destraatop.nu

The economy is in free fall. The markets are collapsing. Our soldiers are dying. Our sensitive information is being leaked over text message and gmail. Random people are being kidnapped and sent to foreign torture prisons. And Trump is fucking golfing.

Maybe (just maybe) the Rs in OK, MO, and SD can instead support their citizens and vote against cutting medicaid? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/u...

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/u... We need more of this!

The 7 largest Dow Jones drops in American history: 1. Trump, 3/16/20 -2,997.10 2. Trump, 3/12/20 -2,352.60 3. Trump, 3/9/20 -2,013.76 4. Trump, 6/11/20 -1,861.82 5. Trump, 4/3/25 -1,679.39 6. Trump, 3/11/20 -1,464.94 7. Trump, 03/18/20 -1,338.46 Tired of winning yet?

www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/b... Questions persist? There’s no question Trump is Putin’s bitch, and here’s the proof

I cannot understate how appalling and helpless it feels as a Jew that this is being done under the guise of fighting antisemitism.

Closely inspecting the list of tariffs/countries posted by the White House, Trump did not put tariffs on Russia. Ukraine's tariff is 10%, the EU's is 20%, and every American ally is on the list. But not Russia.

Over 350,000 people are signed up. More than 1,000 events are planned in all 50 states and multiple countries. We hope to see you in the streets on Saturday: handsoff2025.com/?SQ...

NOTE: Tonight, John Mulaney has the chance to do something important. Neal Katyal is a partner at Milbank, which just capitulated to Trump. Someone who knows Mulaney, please tell him about this and ask him to talk with Neal about it. I have laid it out here: www.lawdork.com/p/law-firms-...

The Trump administration is committing crimes against humanity right before our eyes. They are disappearing people who are in this country legally and sending them to El Salvadoran prison camps to be tortured. Every official involved deserves nothing less than to be tried at The Hague.

If you try to log in to Soc Sec Admin. to obtain YOUR SS report, like me, you can't. "We are unable to your request." I wrote to my congressperson to complain. You should too. Pound the table. This is OUR government!

This is really depraved.

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5. This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually. The GOP is the party of junk fees.

Why is Pam Bondi refusing to investigate the Signal chat?

Reasonable to ask if we are now oppressing the Russian opposition at Putin’s behest. theins.press/en/news/280037

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

Pam Bondi needs to do her job

The foreseeable result of Paul Chamberlain Weiss capitulation. You're lawyers. Fight for F's sake! www.nytimes.com/2025/03/25/u...

Sanders: Does anybody think it makes sense that we have a campaign finance system where one man (Musk) can put $270 million to get Trump elected and then his reward is that he becomes the most powerful person in government? That is not democracy. That is oligarchy.
