karmic wheel, do your thing

less than ten trans women tried to play collegiate sports and now the car dealership class gets to crash the global economy and set up sweatshops in the midwest

Upon learning that your own mistake sent an innocent father to a brutal prison where he’s likely to be tortured, anyone with a shred of decency would be overcome with shame and fight like hell to get him back. They think it’s funny. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

WH has now confirmed: this is insane nypost.com/2025/04/02/u...

People say twitter/online isn't real life, but it certainly gave a clearer view of what to expect from the incoming trump admin than the media did. You could pretty obviously see who he was surrounding himself with.

My request for this week is that media outlets do not refer to Trump’s tariffs as “reciprocal” (except in scare quotes). None of our trade partners have tariffs on US goods anywhere near the massive 10-30% universal tariffs Trump is proposing He’s starting this not retaliating

The 25% automobile tariffs: • increase auto prices by 13.5%, the equivalent of $6,400 on the average new car. • **reduce** US auto production & increase Chinese auto production in the long-run if other countries retaliate to our tariffs. • Reduce long- & short-run US GDP 1/2

The ambush and arrest of Rumeysa Ozturk is something out of a dictatorship. Rumeysa is here legally and has not been charged with a crime. The Trump Administration is sending a message that free speech is not protected in their regime. She must be returned to Massachusetts.

I am BEGGING people to frame this properly. The issue here is not one colossal blunder where a reporter got info. The issue is it’s clear these people are all routinely ignoring the most absolutely basic security protocols, and WE HAVE NO IDEA what breaches this has already enabled.

Senior officials in Trump’s admin—Waltz, Hegseth, Rubio, Vance—accidentally added the editor of @theatlantic.com to a signal chat detailing plans to attack Yemeni rebels, a conversation that should never have occurred on that platform. Wild, reckless, incompetence www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

This whole story is mind-blowingly insane.

The geniuses at DOGE are bringing us insights like "I'm not really sure why the tax agency for a country of 330 million people has a larger staff than a midsize bank"

BREAKING: Acting Social Security commissioner Leland Dudek says he is consulting with the Justice Department about shutting down the agency. Dudek told the Washington Post: “Unless I get clarification, I’ll just start to shut it down. I don’t have much of a choice here.”

I’m holding a town hall tomorrow to provide an update on House Democrats’ efforts in Congress to protect Americans from the President’s attempts to cut essential programs like Social Security, Medicaid, & SNAP in order to give even more tax cuts to billionaires (1/2).
