Democrats can now credibly call for the repeal of the Trump tax cuts and the clawing back of the additional ICE funding as a way of offsetting the revenue loss from the ending of the illegal tariffs.

Arresting a former prince sends a message. And if a former president can testify on Capitol Hill, there’s no reason the current one can’t too—unless this is all about protecting Donald Trump. Insist that your representatives in Congress make that happen. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Fair comparison.

California is currently weighing a ballot initiative that would institute a one-time wealth tax on billionaires living in the state.

I think it’s a good idea.

Watch what my friend Bernie Sanders had to say.

Holy shit this cartoon.

The Trumps are the ultimate grifters and gaslighters.

MAGA, you do realize the main difference with Prince Andrew being arrested is that Kash Patel and Pam Bondi aren't overseeing his investigation?

Whether Americans are ready or not, Trump inches U.S. closer to a war in Iran I have some bad news for voters who assumed Trump would reject military adventurism and ignore the calls for foreign interventionism.

In 2013, Trump tweeted, “Obama will someday attack Iran in order to show how tough he is.” He added, “Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly — not skilled!”

In 2012, he added that Obama would hit Iran because his "poll numbers are in a tailspin.”

Yeah, about that...

Gov. Beshear: Trump's Congress has refused to extend tax credits for those that were already struggling to afford health care, while giving tax cuts to the wealthiest of Americans. His bill is not only going to devastate rural health care, it's going to devastate rural economies.

John Roberts Wrote the Permission Slip for the Fulton County Fiasco - emptywheel DOJ's improper seizure of Fulton County's 2020 ballots may be a test of the new powers John Roberts gave Donald Trump in his 2024 opinion in Trump v. US.

Since we're discussing UK's ability to hold their royalty accountable, reupping my post on the way Trump v. USA serves as a permission slip for the abusive seizure of Fulton County's ballots.

Trump Order Aims to Boost Weedkiller Targeted in Health Lawsuits

The Trump admin is deporting people who "grew up in the United States of America, who benefited from our education system, from the freedoms and liberties that make this country a great place."

And they're calling to strip native-born citizens of citizenship and calling to denaturalize immigrants.

For those keeping score at home:

Screenshot of a CNN segment shared by Acyn. A split-screen shows commentator Lydia Moynihan on the left and Kevin O’Leary on the right during a heated exchange. The chyron reads, “Obama: Dems need to avoid scolding and ‘virtue-signaling.’” The post quotes O’Leary referencing China and concentration camps, and McGowan responding about West Virginia.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

Stephen Colbert Rips CBS For Banning Interview With Texas Democrat Due To FCC Threat

Bravo, Stephen!

Check out the video of Stephen Colbert interviewing Jamas Talarico in which Stephen explains CBS, obeying in advance, won't let him air the segment on tv.

And Stephen passes a note to Brendan Carr, chair of the FCC.

"Brendan Carr, FCC you"

Words spoken many years ago that are just as relevant today.

We must continue the fight to get big money out of politics.

I asked Gemini the same question. Answer: "As an AI, I don’t have personal opinions or the ability to "think" in the sense of making moral or political judgments."
It then summarized arguments for and against.
