250 years ago, Americans rejected the rule of a mad king.

In two days, we’re taking to the streets again to say NO KINGS.

2,000 peaceful protests are planned in small towns and major cities across the country. Join your community on Saturday for #NoKings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Goal achieved: An unusual number of people in an unusual number of places. 1,300 globally. There were probably more than 10,000 speakers alone at rallies today. Baffling to think about this scale!

This is funny. And the serious problem with the NYT is it misinforms about reality. Not with inaccuracy so much as emphasis, perspective, and framing. That makes it a bad news source. Go to the Guardian, or Wired, or others/ independent sources. You don't need the NYT or LA Times, or WaPo.

This woman, known for her claims about how to sexually pleasure Trump, just shuffled into the White House and fired half of the NSC on suspicion of being too unfriendly to Russia, and then shuffled out. What she did with POTUS remains unclear.

The case of Kseniia Petrova, a brilliant Harvard medical researcher who was arrested at Logan Airport and charged with reimporting her research slides from a talk she gave at the Institute Curie in Paris, has got to be the single most insultingly absurd case from the Trump administration yet.

Trump first articulated his view on tariffs at the same time he announced that NATO was a leech on America, in late 1988-early 1989. This occurred immediately after Trump's return from a visit to Moscow, where he was hosted by Inturist, an entity controlled and operated by the KGB.

As Mark Carney says, as of yesterday afternoon, Trump ceased to be the leader of the Free World.

5/ Trump knows that he can weaken (and maybe destroy) democracy by using spending and taxation in the same way.

He is using access to government funds to bully universities, law firms and state and local governments into loyalty pledges.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

1/ A 🧡 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Advanced senile dementia is manifesting itself here. A few minutes later, he states that he saw Lee Iacocca earlier in the day praising his tariff policies. Iacocca died six years ago.

Florida’s 1st Congressional District: early voting is now open!

When I'm in Congress representing FL-1, I’ll focus on expanding access to affordable healthcare.

Nobody should have to experience what I did.

Good morning! Today is a good idea to call your representatives in Washington and ask if they believe it's okay for the Trump administration to kidnap and deport people with no due process.

When Therapists Lose Their Licenses, Some Turn to the Unregulated Life Coaching Industry Instead Despite past misconduct, some former therapists have continued their careers as life coaches. Now, after a high-profile conviction in Utah, legislators are asking whether it’s time for more oversight.

#ICYMI: A 2024 @sltrib.com and ProPublica investigation found that several Utah therapists whose licenses were revoked, denied or expired while on probation continued working in the mental health field.

Some rebranded as β€œlife coaches.”
