Dozens more countries face higher levies on exports to US as new Trump tariffs come into effect Donald Trump’s latest wave of ‘reciprocal’ rates were in place as of a minute past midnight Washington time on Thursday

Another reason I won't forgive anyone who voted for ANY GOP...I can't make ends meet now more than ever.😠

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

FOX News is pure Russian sponsored programming.

It’s great to be back in New York City. I spent a good deal of my childhood and teenage years in and around NYC. I’ve been back to promote my new book, “Coming Up Short.”

I’m promising myself this is my last book tour. (Of course, I made the same promise with the last book.)

It’s too scary for most people to face 😒

Each time I’m targeted, the volume of hate I receive — online and in correspondence — spikes. Some of it is deranged. Much of it is antisemitic. And it’s deeply conspiratorial. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/im-n...

“We’re watching the worst president in history manipulate the worst White House press corps in history every day,” says MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell.
And to that I say amen.

Americans are relearning the lesson we learned during the Gilded Age of the late 1890s, when robber barons ran the government and the economy for their own benefit: Oligarchy is incompatible with the common good.

I'm hopeful we'll respond with a new progressive movement.

Yes and I stand by it.

Trump is just an old fat man wondering around on the roof of the White House.

My optimism about our ability to save our democracy comes from my experience. No matter how broken or bruised our democracy is today, I have seen it work and I know it can work again. I have seen the power of collective action. I know it can save us now.

Epstein had a daily quota too

He had Maxwell supply him with three girls a day

He raped three girls a day for 10 years

Maxwell was the brains.

She had an elaborate, pyramid scheme, She literally did everything and also raped little girls .

She’s a monster

If you want the horrible crimes committed by those involved with Epstein to kick people in the solar plexus….then TALK about them the way most adults talk about horrible acts like this. People don’t “have sex with kids.” They FUCK them. They make them suck their dick. Don’t sugar coat this shit.

My favorite president is President Obama, but President Biden also accomplished so much, he didn't call Covid a hoax, and he saved so many lives, while under constant attack by magats.

I.C.E. is now a recruitment center for the worst of society. It’s also a literal Army he is building to prevent his removal from office. Recruiting the National Guard to assist ICE? Don’t be fooled.

This morning, ICE rolled into a Home Depot parking lot using a moving truck loaded w/agents, like a Trojan horse, to snatch up Latino workers. Whoever they could find. No idea if they were undocumented or not.

That’s not enforcement. That’s racial profiling, and violates a standing court order.

Bomb threat at the hotel Texas Dems are staying at in Illinois.

ICE thugs violently kidnapping a pregnant woman off the streets in Elgin, IL as her child watches in horror.

Please keep elevating these stories — Do NOT normalize this abuse. These people need to be held accountable.

Let’s go! #VotingRights now!

Brasilien schaltet Welthandelsorganisation wegen Trumps Zöllen ein Die Zölle, die Donald Trump gegen Brasilien verhängt hat, gehören zu den bislang höchsten. Der brasilianische Präsident Lula spricht von Erpressung und fordert nun Gespräche mit den USA.

Lula has involved the WTO and officially requested the start of consultations with the US. The tariffs imposed by Trump against Brazil are among the highest to date. Lula speaks of "blackmail". Trump wants to use the tariffs to get the Supreme Court of Brazil to drop proceedings against Bolsonaro.

To Care or Not to Care? Sixty Years After the Enactment of Medicare, Medicaid, and the Voting Rights Act, “Republicans” Are Pushing Anti- and Ante-1964-65 Acts.

To Care or Not to Care?

Republicans have another year and a half to tear apart our democracy before we flip the House and hopefully the Senate and stop any further damage.

We could effectively end the Trump presidency in November 2026. That should be our goal. Stop the insanity.

5 weeks until Congress comes back and has to deal with the Ghost of Jeffrey Epstein.

They should make it a Spirit Halloween till then.

We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House.

This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries.

They can’t win fair, so they cheat.

weird how the guy born into obscene wealth, bailed out repeatedly, allowed to fail upwards forever until he fell ass-backwards into the presidency, and then was declared by the Supreme Court to be a Very Special Boy Who Can Crime Forever never stops whining about how everything is rigged against him

They’re already killing the international tourist industry by turning America into a pariah state, but that apparently is not enough for these people.

Well said, @voteannjohnson.bsky.social Love what the Texas Dems are doing to fight for our democracy.
