Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name.

It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Trump Tariff Scheme A Great Opportunity For Even More Presidential Corruption โ€” HuffPost A desire to avoid U.S. import taxes will give companies and countries an incentive to win over a man who has already demonstrated a willingness to sell favors, experts and critics fear.

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss:

1. 1929 (the Great Depression)

2. 1987 (Black Monday)

3. 2008 (the Great Recession)

4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY

And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve.

A Lawless President's Contempt The crisis facing our democracy is escalating. How long will the courts and the people stand for it?

The immunity ruling, Sotomayor said, โ€œโ€˜lies about like a loaded weaponโ€™ for any President that wishes to place his own interests, his own political survival or his own financial gain above the interests of the Nation.โ€
Trumpโ€™s pointing the loaded weapon at us.

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to โ€œthe leftโ€ and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

"Knowingness" and the Politics of Ignorance Much ink has been spilled about "polarization." Most of it ignores a major cause: the widespread, misplaced faith that we already know that which we do not know.

Very useful framing by @brianklaas.bsky.social of two kinds of โ€œknowingness:โ€

โ€œType 1: People who think they know but they donโ€™t; and Type 2: People who donโ€™t want to know.

Type 1 Knowingness can be cured. When someone also has Type 2, itโ€™s much more stubborn.โ€
