You deserve a break on Sundays that doesn’t break the bank.

This year, Donald Trump and the extremist majority of the Supreme Court have been working overtime to destroy student loan debt relief for many millions of Americans.

My plan to revive American manufacturing is to: raise the price of inputs like steel, aluminum & copper; create shortages of rare earths; generate less electricity; invite retaliatory tariffs; cut R&D; raise borrowing costs by blowing out the budget; and to cover it all in a cloud of uncertainty.

Some Thoughts On The Texas Floods I don’t know why over fifty people lost their lives in a Texas flood this week.

"There’s a reason that schoolchildren still learn about the Scopes Monkey Trial and it’s not because the name Clarence Darrow still resonates with Gen Z." Darrow got that rizz! michaelianblack.substack.com/p/some-thoug...

“A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL”

🔥 @aoc.bsky.social shreds the Republican bill and the trickery they’re using to tout lifting taxes on tips while stripping health care and food assistance for the poor — all to give tax breaks for billionaires

The Worst Military Parade I've Ever Seen Hands down.

"Again and again, I arrived at the same conclusion without fail: no, my eyes did not deceive me and my standards are not too high and I’m not being unfair. That was, hands down, the worst military parade I’ve ever seen."

Could you be any more ignorant? Now do Italian food. 🤦‍♀️

Don’t forget some liquid carbs too.

The Trump admin's quiet (but deadly) attack on repro rights They're doctoring science and changing policy to make pregnancy more dangerous.

"Just because Trump senses that keeping mum on a national ban is best at the moment doesn’t mean he isn't letting people like RFK Jr and Josh Hawley work together on schemes to radically restrict access to abortion." — @snipy.bsky.social

Feeling Naïve on Memorial Day I honestly can't tell anymore.

"I’ve been struggling mightily over the past two days with the question of what is and isn’t appropriate to say on an occasion that’s meant to be dedicated to remembering the women and men in uniform who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country."

Joseph throw something over the fence while running?🤔

I just get irritated when they flush with seat up. With the high pressure, liquid spray goes all over the floor. 🤢🤢

Somehow, Trump has declared that we’re under numerous national emergencies from the Southern Border Emergency to the Energy Emergency, Trade Emergency, Public Lands Emergency, and Immigration Enforcement Emergency. Yet these crises seem so “urgent” that he finds time to golf every weekend. Odd.

Please Don't Ask Me About the Harry Potter HBO Series I beg you.

"We're seven years into this terrible chapter of Rowling being openly hateful towards trans people, and I honestly can't stomach yet another conversation with a non-trans person who's looking to soothe their conscience, so that they can enjoy content."

They don’t believe any woman should be able to vote. They want 1 vote per family.

Republicans are trying to make it harder for women who took their husbands' names to vote.
Because no matter how much a woman lives up to the misogynistic standards conservatives set for women, at the end of the day they want all women, even the ones who agree with them, to shut the fuck up.

I received letters from all over the country: from Democrats, Republicans, Independents - people who were just tired and burned out who saw a spark.

I’ll never be able to thank you enough for seeing a spark in me.

Find your spark. This moment is about what we do next.

Trump Administration Continues to Undermine the National Park Service There is now a very real risk that the NPS will become an arm of the Trump propaganda machine.

National Parks as propaganda:

FDA bird flu testing efforts disrupted by RFK Jr.'s layoffs, officials say Multiple FDA labs were cut amid Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s layoffs this week.

As one example of the fallout from RFK Jr’s cuts to federal health agencies, a planned FDA exercise with a network of veterinary testing labs around the country to ensure they’re able to detect bird flu virus in milk has been suspended, due to elimination of the agency's food safety lab in Illinois.

This is perfect. Absolutely perfect.

A perfect example of how tariffs increase prices on things that don’t have tariffs on them.

tweet from 11/9/2024: @Geiger _Capital No one other than (fairly stupid) partisans on the left thinks Trump is truly going to implement 20% tariffs on everything across the board. community note added later: Readers added context On March 4th, 2025, the Trump Administration enacted 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico for all products except for energy products like oil and electricity, which are tariffed at 10%.

if there were a smithsonian of tweets that aged terribly this would have its own exhibit

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?
