I'm a world of Chuck Schumers, be a Cory Booker @booker.senate.gov @schumer.senate.gov

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

James Carville sufficiently summarized the Democrats message in 1992 with "It's the economy, stupid". Democrats should adopt a new message: "It's the inequality, stupid"

And we the people will reinvent the Democrats as a pro-worker party. Unions - for workers Housing - for workers New Tax Policies - for workers Eat The Rich - for workers

The richest person in the world is asking you to empty your pockets. Don't fall for it.

YES the dude who refused to accept the results of a free & fair election, tried to force states to change votes for him, organized a violent coup against the peaceful transfer of power, then watched giddy while the Capitol was sacked IS DEFINITELY GOING TO SAY HE WANTS TO KEEP POWER. It's not news.

I know it's easier to disengage, but the reason I'm still talking with my relatives and friends on the right is because there's going to be a point where if 1% or even 0.5% of them come to the left, we stop this. Last year it was 0.2%

Just going out on a limb here, but the rich controlling the AI models that will act as a tutor in our classrooms, teaching all the children to worship the rich, while also owning the government that should stop this from happening, is not the future I want.

1. Tulsi Gabbard was overseas while participating in the Signal chat. 2. Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the Signal chat. 3. Russia infiltrated Signal some time ago to use it against Ukrainians. It’s high time to Benghazi the shit out of Trump’s administration.

Some days posting about how Trump & Musk & all of these anti-American goons are destroying America feels useless. Then I realize that huge part of the authoritarian fascist playbook is to wear us down and tire us out.

Hey @npr.org, Stop the sanewashing and maybe I'll consider being a member again, like I was for 18 years before you went all Trumpian on us.

The day Target cancelled their DEI initiatives was the day my boycott started. For those just starting today, welcome to the family. #BoycottTarget

Fun Fact: Democrats are wearing pink tonight as a symbolic protest against people who want them to do something meaningful

Call your Reps & Senators on Tuesday. Tell them your views on the President acting lawlessly to thwart appropriations passed by Congress. Call them: 202-224-3121

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F. 18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it. We made this website to tell our story: 18f.org

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

Some thoughts on this, in no particular order. 1.) The Ukrainians were initially willing to give some level of mineral rights to the US for support; the Trump administration instead pushed for a massive grab of those rights and tried to force Zelenskyy into it with a late-night "sign this" move.

"I have suffered, and so should you" is one ass backwards belief system.

Dear @npr.org and @pbs.org, They're going to shut you down anyways. There is no appeasing them. Time to go down fighting.
