C'mon Jeffrey, you can do it Kiss the ring, put your back into it This is why, this is how the Trump Administration's screwing us now. (Sorry, Bo, had to borrow your song.)

THIS. Or did we already forget how those Covid-era price hikes "due to supply chain issues" never rolled back?

An example from this article of what happens when companies have more rights than citizens:

Exactly this. The majority balks at blaming massive business when massive business is at the center of almost every corrupt action in America. Companies should not have more rights and protections than citizens.

This Missourian is in Hallowell, Maine, for a wedding. I now have a slightly better understanding of @stephenking.bsky.social 's ability to capture crispness, age, and remoteness in words.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

“Why won’t you do your job, Senator?” @ChuckGrassley

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. This number can connect you to both the House of Representatives and the Senate offices.

I want to tell you why the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia should matter to you. The one power you cannot give the executive is the ability to imprison or expel anyone regardless of their legal rights. That is our key check against autocracy. And we are watching it disappear.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Dictatorships grab people off the street and jail them. Dictatorships demonize vulnerable minorities. Dictatorships destroy data. Dictatorships reject independent courts. Dictatorships buy the backing of the super-rich. Dictatorships persecute dissidents. See what’s happening, fellow Americans.

The truth on the ground is actually... well, yeah, it's this. The majority of folks in my county DO seem satisfied to gorge on Fox droppings and regurgitate them into each other's mouths daily.

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

The people in the IRS resigning need to cut it the Fuck out. THEY are the ones that have a cause of action RIGHT NOW. They should be in court saying, "Hey, Governments threating to fire me if I don't break the law. Please stop them." By the time anyone else has cause ICE will have the information.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people. We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

I'm tickled pink to see that sign.

Maybe, now that the upper middle class is watching their investments crumble, just maybe we can start to galvanize the classes against this horror.

Wow, Elon's AI sure has a thorough understanding of how to demolish America.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Something is brilliant in the state of Denmark.

How much untold pain and disgrace could have been avoided had a handful of GOP Senators had the guts to convict after the second impeachment? They utterly failed the test of history.

Tariffs like these raise prices and don't work. But if you skipped class the day we all learned that – here's a refresher:

People will say this is the result of a presidential election, and that’s partly true. But the Constitution does not delegate tariff power to the president, and he is only able to impose these ruinous, peace-destroying taxes because Congress has let him do so. Congress can end this at any time.

Maybe everyone can see it now, but the world's richest people have tanked it all to restock assets and get liquid after years of illegally playing with funny money. They used "the wokeness" as a cudgel and it worked. The next Disney princess WILL be white, as we all eat beans under the highway.

It only makes sense if you realize that none of this is meant to help our country. It is done in service to Putin and the oligarchs.
