Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

Trump backing down to public pressure is a good thing. But let's be clear. Noem, Miller, Bovino, etc. all followed his lead. He called protesters terrorists. He dehumanized Somali immigrants. He lied about Good and Pretti. He owns all of it.

He'll also probably change his mind tomorrow.

If it quacks like a duck….

The treatment of Senator Alex Padilla is disgraceful — no matter how you look at it.

If this is how the Trump Administration treats a sitting U.S. Senator, we should all be alarmed.

Our trade policies should benefit American workers, not just corporate CEOs.

That includes targeted tariffs to stop corporations from outsourcing American jobs & factories.

We do not need a blanket, arbitrary sales tax that will raise prices on products that Americans need.

Jeffries: He somehow sold himself to significant numbers of Americans as a businessman—but he’s a failed businessman, having bankrupted multiple companies. And now Donald Trump is trying to literally bankrupt America.

The Commerce Secretary of the US is telling people to go out and buy stock in a specific company on national television.

Remember.

Hundreds of NOAA employees are being fired by Trump and DOGE.

The National Weather Service, which is part of NOAA, provides life saving weather forecasting in the US.

A study found that for every $1 invested in NWS, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

Again, this isn't about efficiency.

The root that tears apart your foundation begins as a seed of distrust, hate, and blame.

The seed that grew into a dictatorship in Europe didn’t arrive overnight.

It started with everyday Germans mad about inflation and looking for someone to blame.

Kamala was right. And it only took him less than 30 days to roll over for Putin.

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Democrats must make clear that, of course, we believe in changing government for the better - and show how different that is from Trump's destruction of government's capacity to protect workers, consumers, and families.

Don’t forget their straight allies also boycotting by their sides.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.

They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.

Don't fall for it.

When North Korea thinks you’ve gone too far with crazy shit.

Tesla Paid Zero Federal Income Tax in 2024, Despite $2.3 Billion in Income This brings Tesla’s average tax rate over the past three years to 0.4 percent.

Tesla earned $2.3 billion in the United States in 2024.

You'd think it paid a lot in taxes, right?

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

You want waste and fraud? Look at what some big corporations and the rich are getting away with.

Every day is Christmas for Putin now.

Questions for the Canadians out there. There seemed to be a pro Trump conservative movement that dragged down Trudeau.

Is that movement getting stronger or weaker ?

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.
