There are two movements in American politics right now: A despotic one made up of the would-be destroyers of the government, and an emerging outside movement of people angry at the state of affairs. I wrote about how the outsiders can stop the insiders: prospect.org/politics/202...

Alex Lawson: This is going to end in checks not going out. The money that we have earned is not getting into our hands. And I believe strongly that’s the point. The cuts they've made have had no other rhyme or reason except to literally destroy the system. @maddow.msnbc.com

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

Meanwhile, the man behind these purges thinks we should all care that he was called “fringe” in a private email 4.5 years ago. He, the Main Character, was insulted.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

FDIC is a big reason that people have confidence in banks. Removing that will make it harder to find safe places to save.

It's hard to see what is happening unless you pull back the lens, read @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social and others on autocrats and centers of knowledge and expertise. Once you recognize it, a chill should go down your spine. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

What some people aren’t factoring into their analysis is the reality that companies were buying tons of inventory to beat the tariffs. That’s cash taken from being able to invest or hire. In fact the probably cut costs and jobs as a result. #econsky

Media challenge: try writing headlines without using the word "antisemitism". Stop using Trump's framing for his authoritarian actions. "Trump administration now monitoring immigrant social media" would be shorter and more accurate, since no-one really believes this is about anti-semitism.

An actual opposition party would be all over TV for the next 10 days reminding people of this tariff bullshit, letting people know that Congress has the power to end this, and getting to work on doing just that. Instead all that exists is the Democratic party so none of this will happen.

You’d think when you’re claiming the richest country in the world can’t afford childhood cancer research you might wait a year before throwing yourself a 100 million dollar birthday parade. But carpe diem, suckers.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.
