Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways:

First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices.

Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little."

—FDR, 1937

Medicare for All isn't radical.

What's radical is that we are the only major country not to guarantee health care as a human right. Every other major country figured out years ago how to provide health care to all at a much lower cost.

Please don't tell me we can't do the same.

Pete Buttigieg breaks down DEI for everyday folks…

“The opposite of diversity is uniformity. The opposite of equity is inequity. The opposite of inclusion is exclusion.” @petebuttigieg.bsky.social

Our problem: too many value uniformity over inclusion and they’re the ones running the government.

I can’t remember who first told me about eating Cheetos with chopsticks, but thank you to that person

One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?

They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.

That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.

The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

How many of these jobs are the federal government jobs that DOGE has unilaterally cut?

This is no longer just about the republicans…where are the democrats?!?

Do the democrats hear their constituents asking/demanding more of them? Why are they continuing to act as if this is all “normal” and not a coup? Why does musk still have so much power and access to protected data?

Love Ayanna Pressley!!

Many thanks to Al Green, actually DOING something. The rest of the democrats? 🖕🏼I am so damn tired of being so damn anxious about our future. The democrats could have ALL done something with Al Green and after him. Sitting there did NOTHING!!! #algreen #stoptrump #resist

Who is going to call him out on this lie?!? Every Democrat and Republican should be calling press conferences for this!! Also, how do we file a class action lawsuit for the unauthorized access musk & his minions have obtained to my confidential health info and work history?!! #alllies

Because the president is a psychopath, because the vice president has the spine of a jellyfish, because the people of this nation are terrorized, the state of the union is strongly fucked up.

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

Please please please do everything you can to stop this monster from harming so many people!!

Despite what Elon Musk says—Social Security is NOT a Ponzi Scheme.

Social Security is a PROMISE that the American people should be able to count on after paying into it their entire lives. Repost if you agree.

If you work at the Washington Post, now is the time to resign. You’re a part of this now.

I despise trump and his entire administration!!!!!! 🇨🇦🇲🇽🇺🇦

Mine in Iowa are REFUSING town halls

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

This is a bigger issue than people realize. Not just jobs lost. But their families losing benefits. Landlords losing tenants. Cities and towns losing revenue. This is how recessions start

Ready Fire Aim is no way to govern.

Remember this: Tyranny cannot prevail over people who refuse to succumb to it.

It'd be great if one by one every Democrat walked out during Trump's rant in front of the joint session of Congress on Tuesday.
