in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

1. Do something outrageous via Executive Order 2. Go to court 3. Court rules that said thing is illegal 4. Ignore court's order (We are here). 5. ? If you want to know what steps 5, 6, and 7 are, you can read what they wrote down and said publicly that they would do next. I'm not saying it.

The world’s richest man + all the supporters and enablers of this initiative will be directly responsible for the deaths of millions of children. And for many, this is being cloaked and/or justified in the name of Christianity. We need strong condemnation from our global faith leaders NOW.

I think the first, massive protest shouldn't take place on the streets; it should be through the marketplace. Start with the 10 biggest advertisers on X. Get influencers to spread the word. Ask anyone who is willing/able to refuse to buy from these places until they divest from X. They will care.

Just 2 weeks into his Presidency, Donald Trump has issued the largest tax hike on working Americans in modern history. That’s why all those billionaires were smiling from the front row of his inauguration ceremony. The Trump tax on the working class: more for them, less for you. @aoc.bsky.social

Please, please @democrats.org don’t call this a tariff: it is the Trump tax on the working class.

I hate that it's gotten this far, but if countries want to counter a US-imposed trade war, they should make Elon Musk's companies a focus of their retaliation. Those business interests have effectively merged with the US executive branch, and decision-makers value them more than the American people.

Going full court press on Musk would be a pretty obvious play for an opposition party right now, if we had one.

Every time a news outlet or elected official reports eligibility, they should include the dollar amount. The median voter isn’t thrilled about subsidizing private school tuition for families making multiples of their own income.
