Good Q @SarahKSilvermam

OBAMA: “People make excuses for him. They say he’s not serious. Everything a president says is serious!”🔥

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.

Watching that news report, you saw a textbook example of two men trying to gaslight someone.

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

Welcome to the Golden Age of Dipshittery.

I’m old enough to remember when we had 3 branches of government. Forget checks and balances. I guess we are a Muskocracy now.

Melania Trump declined Jill Biden’s invitation for tea at the White House, and yet I haven’t seen a single Republican call her out for disrespecting “protocol.”

When you’re reading late at night and the passage makes you catch your breath. These words were written by the author Matt Haig in his latest book, “The Life Impossible.

I’m going to miss Joe Biden, so, so much. 💙

Dear Canada,

I am writing to inquire whether instead of you becoming the 51st state, you might allow us to become the 11th province.

Sincerely,

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a freshly-fallen snow, a crackling fire, a riveting mystery novel, a kettle on the stove, and a healthy supply of emotional support scones.

This is so spot-on it’s scary.

Latest audiobook. Warm, funny and at times, sad but I really liked it - the romance developing through email and phone calls which mimicked the beginning of mine and Sir’s. I like a variety of genres and this memoir was quite enjoyable.

Take note.

Latest read. As I read it, I wasn’t sure how I felt about it. It had me flashing back to a level of anxiety I had during lockdown. The stream of consciousness narrative carried me along and as it ended, I had the sense that all will be as it should be. #booksiveread

Nothing to see here, folks. No special favors to anyone we know.

Supreme Court 18-year term limit bill should be just the beginning:

— 13 justices
— 7 clerks per justice
— single 18-year term
— binding code of ethics with punishments all the way up to impeachment
— full investigation of corrupt gifts to Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, et al.

two posts from threads first is from @camillecardonaa and says: I just found out that only 1.5% of Japan's population is Christian and I'm heartbroken. second is a reply from @orangedweller and says: Hi. Japan's homicide rate is 07% per 100K. United States homicide rate is 5.7% per 100K. Japan's unhoused population in 2024: 2,820. United States unhoused: 653,104. Japan also has one of the highest food security rates in the whole big world. Meanwhile, in the US, 18 million people are food insecure. Maybe this Sunday you can ask the Christians what their bible says about poor people and murder. Sorry bout your heart.

Sadly

Trump avoids guaranteeing that his tariffs won't result in Americans paying more "I can’t guarantee anything," Trump said. "I can't guarantee tomorrow."

Well, well, well, what do you know?

I did, too and then gave my set to my daughter who has read them with her daughter.

I love this book. My Mom gave it to me and it is one that has moved across an ocean with me.
