Speaking of hatreds, I hate that mainstream journalists permit this double standard, and I also hate that Democrats, knowing how mainstream journalists operate, refuse to make a stink when stuff like this happens, so that mainstream journalists might cover the controversy.

You may be thinking "How can an entire political party be organized around the policy of taking from everyone and giving to the rich? No one would vote for them." Well that's where Lying comes in

Again, it is just straightforwardly the case right now that the U.S. Constitution is no longer in effect. That isn't hyperbole. If the legislative branch and the judiciary sit idly by while the president flagrantly violates the Constitution, I'm not sure how else you'd describe it.

So the Iran Nuclear Deal, a sophisticated multilateral agreement reached by hundreds of adults over a two-year period—which kept us safe for years—has been replaced by a pathetic, obviously false bedtime story about a supposedly obliterated nuclear program being told to us by a known con man Got it

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

The Minnesota assassin appears to be a hate-filled right winger. So can we stop walking on eggshells about MAGA's legitimization of political violence? Yes, Republicans have also been the target of inexcusable violence, but this isn't a "both sides" issue. 1/ A🧵on the danger.

If you watch Trump taking questions from the press and think he’s running the country then there’s no hope for you. You’re watching him in real time learn what his administration is doing by having the press ask questions about it. He’s completely checked out.

It remains unclear what exactly the administration means by “returning emergency management to the states” but the last time states were completely on their own with disasters was December 1802.

Paul: They started out at 145% got down to 80% now 30%. It is 30% more than we have on currently. It will be a 30% rise in goods coming from China, and somebody will pay that, it will be the consumer.

I just really need everybody to understand that everything that’s happening in and to the global economy now (and all the businesses and people in it) is the entirely predictable result of the intentional decisions of one guy who doesn’t understand how the global economy works.

I can’t fathom how people can look at history and somehow maintain the belief that societies have an upper bound for the amount of oppression they can suffer, or a “boiling point” beyond which people will inevitably revolt.

"Masked security forces captured an opposition leader in the coastal province of New Jersey as regime officials continue their months-long crack-down against pro-democracy elements in the embattled United States. The arrest comes as the regime issued calls for summary detentions without trial."

DOGE initially promised to save taxpayers $2 trillion.  Now it admits it's only delivered $160B in cuts. And even those minimal savings are nearly wiped out by the cost of implementing DOGE's cuts: $135B. We're losing vital government services for basically nothing in return.

Not my job to tell big law firms their business, but it seems like suing this administration is better than surrendering to it
PORTLAND, Maine — President Donald Trump’s administration on Friday agreed to halt all efforts to freeze funds intended for a Maine child nutrition program after initially suspending those dollars due to a disagreement between the state and Trump over transgender athletes.

In response, the state will drop its lawsuit that had been filed against the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey announced.
