Some of my thoughts today.

Ah yes…remember those days? They speak with forked tongues. Think about that when you hear them now.

Republican leadership scheduled the hearing on their reckless reconciliation bill at 1:00 am — because they know the public would never support it in the light of day. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are here to shine a light on this tax scam and fight for everyday Americans. Stay tuned. 🔦

Follow the money.

What we know about Trump admin's reported deal allowing Mexican cartel family members to enter US www.snopes.com/news/2025/05...

Does this sound familiar? www.history.com/articles/ted...

Currently reading Edmund Morris's book "Theodore Rex" about the presidency of Teddy Roosevelt. I find it eerily similar to what we are experiencing today. Not surprised since "47" thinks this was the time America was great. It's worth the read. Anyway...I just saw this image of "him." Nuff said.

Yep!

In hearing, Texas lawmaker pushing 'furries' ban in schools can't produce evidence they exist www.houstonchronicle.com/politics/tex...

Question… After “his” performance at the Pope’s funeral, can “he” still call Pres. Biden “Sleepy Joe?”

I went to the Senate floor to tell a story about Trump’s first 100 days - a story of daily, norm shattering corruption. I laid out 40 different corrupt acts - each one alone could have taken down previous presidents. 1/ A 🧵 of my speech. People need to know this story.

"Be patient" is what no president has ever said when things are going well.

Okay, here you go. Says it all. www.instagram.com/reel/DIy9_Xn...

The coming Trump stagflation. Actually it's not "coming," it's already here www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

So much for the "meritocracy" system of government. I hope someone is keeping a scoreboard of the "clerical errors" and security foul-ups that the admin is making.

Sanders says Arkansas in 'dire need of federal assistance,' but Trump says no arktimes.com/arkansas-blo...

Listen to the guy. Nailing it! www.instagram.com/reel/DInywik...

It’s called bait and switch folks. The 47th Street style of world economics.

Love Rep. Joe Neguse getting at them. youtu.be/3saMpmNMrNQ?...

What’s really going on with the economy? I believe Trump and his billionaire buddies — the American oligarchy — have a plan. They want a recession. robertreich.substack.com/p/why-trump-...

Had to watch this again. 🤨🤪 youtu.be/qXOBFoJridk?...

Remember how Mark Zuckerberg started cozying up to Trump as Meta donated $1 million to his inauguration? Well now Zuckerberg is trying to cash in — reportedly lobbying Trump to settle the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit against Meta. This is why you always follow the money.

Antarctica Tariffs Announced It's about time those deadbeat slackers started pulling their weight... 🐧 💰 🐧 💰 🐧 💰

Here we go! This is why real history should be taught in schools. But..."47" has other ideas about education.

For a long time I doubted the business case for cryptocurrency. I see it now: it's the money we will use to pay the smugglers and black marketeers who bootleg bananas past Trump's border guards.
