Al Gore pitched a sovereign wealth fund once, but he called it a “lockbox.”

And it existed bc they’d taxed the wealthy a tiny bit, balanced the budget and had a surplus.

And he only wanted the fund to protect Social Security for Americans who weren’t millionaires.

So the GOP mocked it.

You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.'

These are the clowns Congress refuses to stop.

Project 2025 playbook—Trump wants to enact martial law. If you protest, keep that in mind. DO NOT GIVE HIM AN EXCUSE!

Way to go, Trumpers, you killed democracy because you worshipped white supremacy.

What an asinine hill for a country to DEI on.

Have y’all figured out that the tariff shit it’s meant to distract that Elon Musk is now playing the worst henchman in modern history? All the other shit is the smoke. And he wants you protesting in the streets about tomatoes so he can start shooting in the streets.

TRUMP AND MUSK ARE TRYING TO OVERTHROW OUR AMERICAN FORM OF GOVERNMENT. Right now. Right in front of us.

How to stop them and beat them. In media, in Congress, in the Senate - TODAY.

Brawndo has what plants crave.

Union gal. We need to have a guaranteed basic health insurance plan that is covered by the government. Then you could provide a private option that guarantees certain amenities and triage. It would be available privately or as an employment benefit. I’ve described what every other country does.

Canada gently accepted my family when they fled World War I when the United States would not. While I am an American, I am forever grateful to Canada. And it’s with that gratitude that I want to apologize that you are having to deal with our dumpster fire of a situation.

This is reassuring.

How broken are we that I’m moderating how I want to respond.

This kid clearly didn’t watch enough “Spider-Man”. My 2000 son watched that movie no fewer than 2500 times. I see the Green Goblin in my dreams…

I’ve reached the “Let’s binge Jonathan Groff performances on You Tube” state of my Trump management strategy. Because I’ll take my maniacal tyrants in super talented dramatic form. youtu.be/ERYukmba5Vg?...

But only if the entire left coast can join in.

I feel the urge to go drop $500 on toilet paper and frozen snacks.

This is just the kind of common sense legislation that I can get behind.

I’m an atheist, but was born Episcopalian. I gladly attend mass periodically, because the message of the church aligns with my belief that it’s good to be good. I hope more people give the Episcopalians another look.

To paraphrase @hcrichardson.bsky.social: we ought not be surprised by any of this, because he showed all of these colors before. However, we all know what to expect and should be using our tools to behave accordingly.

Day one of his administration and Donald Trump has already made the Jewish community less safe.

Anyone else watching @maddow.msnbc.com and feeling the increasing impulse to scream into the void?
