You should laugh at anyone who says the president should have unlimited power because he was elected. His power has to be limited *because* he's the president. This is fifth grade level social studies

Nightmare.

A new analysis reveals that Trump’s tax plan will “actively transfer money from low-income people to the top 0.1% of income earners.”

Something to think about

Tesla Is Dying, And Polestar Wants To Kill It The industry is exorcising Musk.

“Polestar wants to deliver the final blow. … Polestar is offering anyone who owns or leases a Tesla $5,000 off a lease on a brand new Polestar 3. Combined with their latest $15,000 Polestar Clean Vehicle Incentive, any Tesla driver can buy a Polestar 3 for a whopping $20,000 off.”

DISBARRING has to be something separate from what the DOJ can protect them from. SOMETHING HAS GOT TO GIVE. THIS CANNOT STAND IN AMERICA. This President and his cabinet are the minority. WE THE PEOPLE choose our leaders. And we DID NOT choose these damn nutjobs. And certainly not Musk in any way.

Openly ignoring and defying the Judiciary.

Breaking his oath to preserve and protect the Constitution of the United States.

Granting himself unchecked power.

This is authoritarianism.

Today, we have more income and wealth inequality than ever before.

But the greed of the oligarchs never stops. 

Now, in order to get huge tax breaks, they want to cut back on Social Security, Medicaid and veterans programs.

Together we can stop them. We must stop them.

On the subject of people traveling to the US right about now: Fuck, if I were from another country and I didn't need to come, I sure as hell wouldn't, the current administration has made it clear traveling here isn't safe, and why not take them at their word, there's a whole world to visit

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

Germany beats Nazis

Tesla dead in Germany. #TeslaTakedown

Meanwhile over on the other place, rightwing free speech warriors (this guy is a former DeSantis campaign staffer) are calling for me to be denaturalized and deported because they don’t like my political speech. This is what fascism and racism looks like, folks.

Penumbra of Fear Trump wants you to be afraid. very afraid.

"Penumbra of Fear"

Smoke and mirrors in Cuba They are all lying but they got the pictures and that's what matters

I’m amazed how little coverage this story has gotten. They’ve burned well over $16 million to briefly hold 290 immigrants and several photo ops to GITMO. Just a total train wreck and they didn’t even mention it officially. Check out my latest.

Merkley: "The best time to take on a tyrant is as early as possible. And this is the moment."

Authoritarians don't willingly cede power.

The oligarchs didn't spend billions simply for a brief taste of feudalism.

If you're dreaming of comebacks via midterms and elections, you're kidding yourself.

It will take an uprising.

By trying to prevent it, the democrats are doing their bidding.

I wish I lived in a country where Chuck Schumer and John Fetterman had at least half the balls of Nancy Pelosi or Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.

This is going to be important:

www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

They gave up their dignity and bent the knee, betraying both their customers and their country.

And they did it for money. Money they had no need for.

The result? They lost billions and billions.

The worst deal with the devil ever.

Thank you, Speaker Nancy Pelosi

Trump can call me names but the truth remains. He is an unhinged wanna be dictator who is angry that I beat him in court and won't cower in fear. Now he is weaponizing the federal government against his political opponents.

I will not back down.
I will not bow or scrape.
I will never obey.

X post by Bernie Sanders (@SenSanders ), featuring a verification badge. The text of the post reads: "No, Mr. President, you cannot illegally arrest and detain legal US residents because of their political views or opinions. In America, we have a little something called the First Amendment. Throwing protesters in jail is yet another step on the path to authoritarianism." The post emphasizes a defense of First Amendment rights and expresses concern about authoritarian actions.

So much for the “Free Speech” champions.

When you feel like you need to move from protesting outside of USAID to protesting outside of Chuck Schumer’s office it’s time for a change. Let’s stop playing games. Let’s be honest with each other and as a party. This is not working and it is not acceptable. And this cannot continue.

Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.

"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!

New ride coming soon.
