WELKER: Trump said tariffs were gonna spark a manufacturing renaissance but since he announced them the US has lost 42k manufacturing jobs. Is that proof tariffs are failing?

BESSENT: We can't snap our fingers & have factories built

W: The economy added nearly 500k manufacturing jobs under Biden

Donald Trump’s plan is one that’s been repeated over and over again by dictators across history — inciting the local population before sending disrupters.

That’s how you convert a democracy into something else.

Illinois won’t fall for this ploy.

😂🤣😂🤣 GO Chicago! ✊🏼 Every ICE truck was deployed to block ICE Gestapo n send the message they r not welcome! #iceout #chicago

I can’t overstate how dangerous this is.

‘White House reviewing Smithsonian exhibits to make sure they align with Trump’s vision’

Translation: Donald Trump and his administration are continuing their assault on Black history, and on any history that doesn’t center and glorify the white man…

People working in or visiting museums in DC:

Please use your phones to record politically/racially/sexuality/gender sensitive exhibits before the Trump administration desecrates them with its white supremacist heteronormative propaganda.

Because we will need to fix them when he’s gone to Hell.

NEW statement from Dow Jones, the parent company of The Wall Street Journal:

"We have full confidence in the rigor and accuracy of our reporting, and will vigorously defend against any lawsuit."

Colbert once flamed us on national TV.
We printed it, taped it to the glovebox, and wear it as a badge of honor.

Maurene Comey's goodbye note to SDNY colleagues:

Good point, Eric but everyone, including MAG, knows there’s a list and the felon is front and center

Raskin: "By covering up, they are just reproducing and spreading the conspiracy theory ... you don't have to blame some shadowy deep state. Donald Trump and Pam Bondi are the ones who have the power to release the Epstein files. They're the closest thing we have to the deep state right now."

The puppy murderer delayed help to flood victims? Color me shocked.

I SURVIVED READING BANNED BOOKS ALL I GOT WAS SMARTER AND MORE EMPATHETIC

FEMA will no longer go door-to-door to assist disaster victims The move, says one agency worker, will “severely hamper our ability to reach vulnerable people.”

A reminder: FEMA is no longer going door-to-door to assist disaster victims

We're going to need another roll of yellow tape for the crime scene that now extends from the Senate to the House.

AOC: They’re giving people crumbs and they are taking away the whole loaf.

I’m gonna hold your hand when I say this but the GOP has never and will never regret the damage they’ve done to this country. They revel in the misery they inflict on others.

America's Founders Valued Higher Education Political attacks are undermining the system of higher education that the Founders cherished.

Thank you to TIME Made By History, esp. @kathrynbrownell.bsky.social, for publishing my latest:

"Defending institutions of higher education from increasingly authoritarian measures is an important way to safeguard not only academic freedom, but the legacy of 1776 as well."

Beautiful!

The scary thing about this kind of tipping point (which, you know, is a common reality of tipping points) is that once you’re beyond it the crash is baked in. You can’t wait to see the effects before you work to cushion the blow—because when you’re seeing the effects it’s already too late.
