I still can't wrap my head around how intelligent people in business voted for Trump. I know they're greedy & wanted tax cuts & deregulation, but seriously? They knew he was unhinged & his economic policies would hurt the economy. But they're ignoring the coming disaster & building the bubble. Sad.

"Speaker Johnson, it looks as though the president is currently stabbing you with a knife. Do you have any comment?"

"Well, look, this is the first I'm hearing about it. As you know, I've been really busy not doing my job, so I just don't know enough about this alleged stabbing to make a comment."

The Sunday Reed :: 1984 is Almost Here We Reference Orwell A Lot More Than We Think About Him

Re-reading 1984, I ask this question: Would Orwell be surprised by the world today, or how easily We the People allowed it to happen? open.substack.com/pub/reedgale...

This K-shaped economy is reliant on high-income spenders But if the stock market stumbles, they may pull back.

Donald Trump's economy. The rich enjoy life while the middle class and poor struggle.

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

Opinion | The consequences of America’s moral drift Consumerism and the addiction economy are undermining the republic.

Governor Cox has no credibility on moral issues given he supported & voted for Donald Trump in 2024.

Unfreaking believable. Makes you question the sanity, intelligence & integrity of half the country.

Opinion | Trump’s refugee cap is a cruelty without a constituency Most Americans still support welcoming refugees. The president’s new limit betrays that generosity.

Trump turns his back on people trying to escape persecution & brings over more white racists to fill the ranks of the Proud Boys.

Apparently the citizens of his district don’t want to be Trump’s pawns as much as elected Republicans do. www.indystar.com/story/news/p...

YES YOU SHOULD VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS TOMORROW EVEN IF MAMDANI IS NOT ON THE BALLOT WHERE YOU LIVE

Ezra Levin on Bluesky: “There's nothing "moderate" about surrendering in exchange for "strong assurances" from congressional Republicans. That's just stupid political malpractice. Republicans are losing this fight, and Dems should hold the line!” A screengrab from The Hill: “At least eight moderate Senate Democrats are meeting in hopes of finding a deal to end the monthlong government shutdown, but sources familiar with the closely held conversations say they will need strong assurances from the GOP before voting to reopen the government.”

The American people appreciate that Democrats are fighting to protect healthcare for millions — we cannot afford another surrender to Trump. Thank your Democratic senator(s) for fighting hard to keep healthcare costs down and urge them to keep holding the line: act.indivisible.org/sign/funding...

*The president is all powerful and can fire civil servants, impound spending, redirect money and deploy troops despite numerous constitutional and legal restrictions but he can't spend emergency money for food stamps set aside specifically for shutdowns* is all-time amazing messaging.

And yet some people will

I have my Extremely Not Shocked Face on.

NYC is going to have the world's biggest media-manufactured crime panic in history the second Mamdani is elected. They aren't even going to wait until he is inaugurated. Whether or not you like the guy, you need to start preparing now for the fire hose of disinformation that is about to activate.

Our government has become the neighborhood thug enforcing the will of the Mafia Don.

Supreme Court has expanded presidential powers under Trump. How far will it go? The justices will hear arguments Wednesday on the legality of most of the president’s tariffs — the first in a series of tests of sweeping claims of authority.

The "originalists" ignore the founders concern about a dictator.

"Arguably, no institution has set the stage for Trump’s efforts to expand his power as much as the Supreme Court...decisions in recent years declaring the president a uniquely powerful figure."

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

With all these extrajudicial boat murders, we have a president who is not only an adjudicated rapist, but also an unapprehended serial killer.

Trump and Republicans slashed over $1.1 trillion from Medicaid and cut healthcare tax credits that lower costs for millions of working families — all while delivering billions in tax breaks to insurance CEOs and Big Pharma. Join the fight to protect healthcare: economicsecurity.us/wp-content/u...

Why has the Israeli army’s top lawyer resigned after leaking rape evidence? Video of alleged rape of Palestinian prisoner at Sde Teiman went viral last year. Now the lawyer who leaked it has quit.

The Israeli government allows their military to torture & kill Palestinians with impunity.

"A number of Israel’s far-right politicians, ...were among those who stormed the Sde Teiman prison in protest at the arrest of the soldiers for rape."

'No idea who he is,' says Trump after pardoning crypto tycoon - BBC News

Trump claims Biden didn't know who he pardoned so the pardons aren't valid. Now he says he doesn't know the guy he pardoned. (The guy who paid his family business millions.)
