Kinda weird that the party that controls the House, the Senate, and the White House claims there's rampant voter fraud.

State House votes to rename Florida airport to Donald J. Trump international The Republican-controlled Florida House voted 81-30 in support of the name change to President Donald J. Trump International Airport

Last week Donald Trump registered the trademark "Donald J. Trump International Airport." This week Florida Republicans voted to rename Palm Beach International Airport Donald J. Trump International Airport," putting taxpayers on the hook for licensing fees that go straight to him

Every time I see a report of ICE leaving Minnesota or Minneapolis I think "I wish" because uh, they're still here being assholes & terrorizing people, just not as much in some places but more so in other places best I can tell and of course people are still imprisoned in misery at Whipple & . . . 🧵

The American president is more insulated from accountability than a British royal.

Our political system provides the elite with immunity. It has to change.

Hassett on new study from NY Fed showing 90% of tariff burden is being shouldered by US firms & consumers: "The paper is an embarrassment. It's I think the worst paper I've ever seen in the history of the Fed system. The people associated with this paper should presumably be disciplined."

So... LIE or be Punished. Sounds like Trump. 🤡

Yup. Because that’s exactly what authoritarian fascistic thugs do - punish the truth tellers.

Hassett- go F yourself

Sen Elissa Slotkin's lawyer Preet Bharara asked prosecutor to explain theory of criminal liability. "No answer was forthcoming," source tells me. Prosecutors even suggested process was very preliminary. Then *something* happened and suddenly they rushed to indict.

Angry Trump Humiliated as Effort to Prosecute Dems Backfires Again A grand jury laughed Trump’s prosecutors out of court—but new details about these nakedly political prosecutions reveal serious abuses of power that are no laughing matter.

The rush to indict the 6 Dems failed with the grand jury voting unanimously against it. The Keystone Kops nature of all this, however, should not blind us to how dangerous it remains. Trump will keep trying to jail Dems until he succeeds.

All in this new piece:

Appalling: During Trump's effort to indict Dems for the video warning against carrying out illegal orders, one of their lawyers asked prosecutors to say what statute was allegedly violated, I'm told. They failed to name one. Then they tried to indict anyway.

Here's a reminder that we Concentration Camps on US soil, ICE is still unlawfully detaining people at random.

Me and Ben on our first date after drinks on a boat at sunset :)

Ben flipping off Trump tower at a protest :))

Ben brandishing his 2023 Walter Cronkite Award because he’s one of the most incredible journalists I’ve ever met. He also gave a speech calling out executives who muzzle their staffs (prescient!!) :)))

Ben and I showing off our homemade anti-ICE protest signs. Mine says “THE PUNISHER WOULD HATE YOU” and Ben’s says “GOOGLE THE HAGUE” :))))

Happy birthday to my favorite person in the world!!!

He’s known by many names — Tim Onion, guy on the tv, Heater’s dad — but I know him as one of the most incredible journalists, leaders, antifascist advocates, and (of course) partners out there.

Thanks for hanging out with me and Heater. 🧡

What does “Dow 50,000” actually tell you—anything about the economy, or just that a number got bigger? Dow 50,000 is a milestone, not a measurement. The level of the Dow is basically arbitrary: it’s… "Dow 50,000" Sound Nice. Until Justin Wolfers Shows You That U.S. Markets Are Coming 21st Out of 23.

The Dow was at 43,488 when Trump took office. It just hit 50,000.

So if you had invested $43,488 in the US, you would now have $50,000. But if you had invested the same amount in the rest of the world, you would now be worth $60,000.
