Trump says he'll raise tariffs to 15 percent after Supreme Court ruling President Donald Trump said Saturday that he was raising the global tariff he wants to impose to 15%, up from 10% he had announced a day earlier.

Trump’s motto: If at first you don’t succeed at illegally raising prices for Americans, try, try again

Just a friendly reminder to all #CADEM delegates who are in San Francisco for the convention to tip your hotel housekeeper daily, as different people may be working on different days. #OneJobShouldBeEnough #1u

Sometimes, when I see the comments or posts of Trump supporters, I feel like I’m seeing the ravings of a schizophrenic.

How have some of us become so divorced from reality? Or is it all of us?

So often the core moral conflict for people is simply being forced to see the consequences of their actions.

See this all the time in homelessness response too - the imperative is just to get them out of sight regardless of whether they're housed- just don't make ppl face what shit capitalism does

South Korean citizens have been recommended as candidates for this year’s Nobel Peace Prize for their collective resistance to former President Yoon Suk Yeol’s imposition of martial law on Dec. 3, 2024.⁠

Another thing to add to the Dem platform: all of these contracts were plainly procured through fraud, not one of them will be honored, and all culpable parties will be prosecuted.

This isn't a "radical" demand, it's the bare minimum required to re-establish the rule of law.

Democracy is when voters choose their leaders. Autocracy is when leaders choose their voters.

DHS is shutting down because it refuses to obey the law. They are tear-gassing schools, killing American citizens, and disappearing legal immigrants. Democrats shouldn’t fund an out of control ICE.

These U.S. athletes have way more courage than most of our elected officials--in particular, those of the GOP persuasion.

Thank you, Rich Ruohonen, for speaking the truth!

US Olympic Curling Team member speaks out against ICE:

"I'm proud to represent Team USA. But we'd be remiss if we didn't mention what's going on in Minnesota and what a tough time it's been. What's happening is wrong. There's no shades of gray."

If you examine the wins & epic standoffs that occurred through labor history, women were critical to the resilience, sustainability, and fortitude required to ensure that the dudes didn’t fold & abandon the line.

A Truth and Reconciliation Commission is what you do when the regime voluntarily cedes power, and as part of the deal, gets immunity from prosecution.

A criminal tribunal is what you do when they cling to power and are unrepentant about their crimes.

The USA needs a criminal tribunal.

Seriously, @ericswalwell.bsky.social??? And how badly broken is @repangiecraig.bsky.social to cast this vote when ICE and DHS are running roughshod over her state’s communities?

Minnesotans, you CANNOT rely on Angie Craig to represent you well. Vote for @peggyflanagan.bsky.social for US Senate.

Dude, it's not just these "seven democrats". It was coordinated by MAJORITY of Establishment Democrats who ensured this still went through. Our anger needs to be directed somewhere, but we need to go wider. This *will not fix what is broken*. Schumer and Jeffries will always find another seven.

How Attacks Against Obamacare Turned Into Tools to Protect Abortion AccessΒ  - Bolts Explore our ongoing Bolts series, Abortion Rights in State Constitutions. A decade ago, when conservatives were attacking President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act as government encroachment in hea...

Big: Wyoming supreme court just struck down abortion ban.

And get this: The reason is a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare!

Quite the backfire. We explained this lawsuit a few years back:

1) Pulls labor out of its decades-long reactive/disempowered stance where they imagine the most they can hope for is being gifted a decent vote. 2) Creates a presumption that being a good labor vote is the bare minimum baseline for all candidates, not the brass ring labor is reaching for

I didn’t know until now that in the original Rosie the Riveter painting, she is crushing a copy of Mein Kampf under her foot. Happy feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, remembering all the women who crush the serpents of Satan under their heel.

James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

Lucas is getting this rightβ€”this is the reason that Democratic Party popularity is SO LOW right now, in spite of the fact that their opposition party is basically NAZIS.

Let that sink in. Get a GRIP, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social & @schumer.senate.gov. This is why no one believes in you right now!

Jeffries Undercuts Congressional Stock Trading Ban - The American Prospect A bipartisan solution was gaining momentum, but the House Democratic leader just issued his own bill that will prevent consensus.

You end up actively killing something that would be good governance *and* super popular, on the deranged premise that there won't be enough strong issues to run against Trump on. Sorry, but if you can't find enough material you shouldn't be here anyway. prospect.org/2025/12/19/j...

β€˜They’re attacking their own’: DC Democrats irked by surge of left-wing challengers with House majority on the line | CNN Politics When Rep. Dan Goldman first ran for Congress in 2022, he was cheered on the left as the party’s top lawyer during President Donald Trump’s first impeachment.

This is a dumb article but it actually gets at maybe the most fundamental thing that's broken with DC Dems, popularism, electoral WAR and all the rest - a total inversion of the ends/means of elections and governing. Which in turn breaks everything www.cnn.com/2025/12/21/p...

Elon Musk is back to funding Republicans.

Earlier this year the oligarch said he was starting a third party.

But now he's cutting checks for Republicans again, even after Trump's chief of staff said he's an avowed drug user who is not a rational person.

It’s a Korean drink, and you can find it at Korean grocery stores. I was also wondering are you allowed to have barley? Koreans have a toasted barley tea, called boricha, that I love.
