Would really love to know what channels Trump is watching today, and how much he is watching. CNBC is in 🚨🚨 mode while Fox News is treating this like a normal day. Fox is leading the 11am hour with complaints about Democrats and judges instead of the historic market turmoil.

Lesson 13: "Practice corporeal politics... Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them." ***There will be chances to practice corporeal politics all over the USA on April 5th.*** Find yours here: handsoff2025.com

Another one for the “economic concerns as a mask for cultural concerns” file. This delusion that manufacturing jobs will come roaring back if we cast the right policy spell isn’t really about that being a desirable economic goal, but about romanticizing Manly Work.

CNBC's Steve Liesman doesn't mince words about the way the White House calculated its tariff rates: "Nobody ever heard of this formula. Nobody has ever used this formula. So I’m sorry, but the conclusion seems to be the president kind of made this up as he went along... these are off the charts."

I just sent Cory Booker money. I will send money to anyone who fights, and I will not send money to anyone who cowers in fear. That has to be the situation, for all of us.

"high-level administrative access to the payroll system, allowing them to make changes to employment status, compensation level, health benefits and more — with no additional oversight or approval required..." www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/u...

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

This idea that ICE rounds up people in blue states and then pre-deports them to a red state because they're not hung up on due process or evidence or any of that old-fashioned stuff really reveals to what extent we seem to have already had a civil war without calling it one.

It’s Trans Day of Visibility. Our trans friends, families and neighbors deserve safety, love and respect. Fighting for democracy means fighting for their rights and standing against the MAGA onslaught against trans people. We see you and we love you.

The US massively under-reacted to this pivotal ‘March on Rome’ moment in time. We’re in 1920s fascist Italy right now.

The corruption of the American political system can be traced in straight line to the conservative Supreme Court in 2010 in Citizens United vs. FEC. It opened the door for unlimited money to flow to politicians. Large amounts of money in political systems = corruption. Musk is an example of this rot

I've been really appreciating Ned Resnikoff's analysis lately. Here's another great one.

Hiring your brother is the original affirmative action for white people.

This is how ridiculous their actions are becoming: apnews.com/article/cana...

Exactly right.

Sounds all logical and efficient but what is behind the scenes will be the really informative part. www.hhs.gov/about/news/h...

Democrats flipped a Trump district that Republicans have held for 46 years.

“President Trump is bound by the laws of this nation, and those laws do not permit him to use wartime powers when the United States is not at war and has not been invaded to remove individuals from the country with no process at all.” Sounds right to me! www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...
