It says a lot that Trump can find $20 billion to bail out Argentina, but won't help the millions of Americans who are in real need at home.

Thank you to former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra for explaining.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup.

It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.

Trump calls the shutdown an “unprecedented opportunity.”
Instead of ending it, he’s:
• Halting $26B in projects, mostly in blue states
• Planning mass layoffs of federal workers
• Pushing $163B in cuts to climate, health, education, housing

This isn’t gridlock, it’s demolition.

The Corporate Power Reset That Makes Citizens United Irrelevant By using their authority to define what corporations are—and what powers they hold—states can end the era of corporate and dark money in U.S. politics.

This is a novel idea... States are the ones that allow corporations to exist, so states can change laws to prevent companies from donating to politicians - thereby ending the corruption enabled by Citizens United.

California - Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Unmarked cars. People in masks. People disappearing… immigrants have rights, and we have the right to push back, and that’s what we’re doing.”

ICE crackdowns are sparking tension in Washington D.C.'s Hispanic neighborhoods

It’s not a crime to be in this country as an undocumented person. It’s a civil violation.

But you know what is a crime? Taking a bribe from undercover agents in exchange for the promise of government contracts WHEN YOU’RE THE FCKING BORDER CZAR.

The forest was shrinking but the trees kept voting for the axe, for the axe was clever and convinced the trees that because his handle was made of wood he was one of them.

Good for you, Mayor Biss!

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%

Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.

As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Our problem isn't a lack of resources.

Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

One time, the Missouri Ethics Committee investigated me over a $30 donation…

This is incredible.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.

Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.

Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.

But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Virtually all incitement to political violence comes from the right.

Virtually all political violence comes from the right.

The right made a felon and rapist POTUS.

Meanwhile, the left keeps nominating for POTUS lawyers who believe in rule of law.

Do *not* let this timeline gaslight you.

Ever.
