Trump Tariffs Live Updates: Stocks Tumble to Worst Day Since Pandemic (Gift Article) The S&P 500 fell almost 5 percent on Thursday, its worst drop since June 2020, as allies and adversaries alike criticized President Trump’s action and weighed their responses.

Happy liberation from your retirement account day!

The Dean Scream: An Oral History The yelp heard around the world.

We were hammered and screaming like it was a rock concert. Had no clue. A unidirectional microphone and a candidate lacking media training doomed us all. www.esquire.com/news-politic...

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges.

This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

Howard Dean did a weird yell

NEW: At least three more DOJ Public Integrity Unit senior officials have resigned after meeting with Emil Bove on the Eric Adams case. Five in Public Integrity overall.

That’s six officials who resigned, triple the number that happened during the Saturday Night Massacre.

The #2 official at the United States Department of Justice literally gave the Stringer Bell "is you taking notes on a criminal fucking conspiracy?" warning to the Manhattan prosecutors pursuing the Eric Adams case.

Not that anyone cares but a bunch of senior doj officials resigning over a corrupt instruction to drop a case was what triggered the Nixon impeachment, and in the Trump era it's just the 2pm scandal of a random Thursday and every day now has ~3 such scandals that would have ended any prior admin

Evolving A Stronger Resistance in 2025 (feat. Leah Greenberg of Indivisible) Podcast Episode · Charting the Way Forward · 02/13/2025 · 47m

JUST POSTED: New Charting the Way Forward episode, featuring @leahgreenberg.bsky.social on the wild growth and strategic evolutions happening in the resistance to Trump autocracy this time. You're going to want to hear and share this one. Quick 🧵 -

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

This is how every day feels right now. I'm not loving it.

these people are segregationists and their position is that no one who isn’t a white man is qualified to do skilled work of any kind

Trump is calling for the implementation of—and the punishment of those who fail to follow—“patriotic education,” as outlined here.

*This* is indoctrination—heritage, not history. My goodness.

Here's the data: election.lab.ufl.edu/2024-general...

75 million people voted for Kamala Harris
77 million people voted for Donald Trump
88 million people who were eligible to vote, didn't vote.

Why? That is a convo for another day.

But there were 11 million more non-voters than Trump voters.

Less than a third of adult US citizens voted for this.

Friendly reminder that only 31% of voting-eligible American citizens voted for Donald Trump. So as his nightmarish regime continues to wreak havoc on our entire system, don't let anyone tell you that half the country voted for this.

And then we blew it. I don’t like the apples any more.

And then the real people start accepting the new reality and pile on.

I worked at a digital media startup back in the day and our boss took on a famous client who was facing a constant barrage of harassment in every social media post about them. Turned out their partner had a bot farm that would make attacks everywhere they were mentioned. It was unrelenting.

I’ve been hunting for a roll call and have come up empty.

Advisor: Ma'am, we have 2 candidates to run the next 2-year offensive against the biggest threat to our country in generations.

1. A bold leader who understands the challenge ahead and is the literal best digital communicator in a generation.

2. Dying senior who called dibs.

Nancy: 2. Bc dibs.

Super old congressman dying of cancer chosen to head Oversight, in major oversight by out-of-touch aging congressional delegation, led by elderly, infeebled congressmembers who can't read a room.

God forbid we put a qualified, disciplined and skilled fighter in charge for the worst two years.

To do that, we need to raise $100k. The good news is some anonymous donors have committed $50k in matching funds. So really, we only need to raise $50k. I've thrown in $5k. And for my birthday, friends have already donated $1200. So we're down to $43.8k
