Watching Jack Smith's testimony, one thought keeps going through my head... where the hell was Merrick Garland? Complete dereliction of duty. Garland will go down in history as a shameful footnote on "doing business as usual" at a time when our democracy was under attack.

Trump got $3 billion richer after taking office, but yeah, we have the best poverty. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are struggling just to afford the basics. Make America affordable again, am I right?

We are now at the point where the Trump administration is openly defying court orders. If you are not paying attention, you need to do so. If your neighbors are not paying attention, you need to get them to do so. This is not a drill, and it will get worse before it gets better.

Freedom of the press is a foundational principle of our constitutional system. Trump says he is banning CNN, MS NOW, and Politico from the White House because of reporting he calls “fake news.” Journalism is not a crime. Critical reporting is not a threat. The First Amendment is not negotiable.

Trump says he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situation. Affordability is a hoax. And his illegal Iran war is “small potatoes” even after 18 American soldiers have been killed and nearly 800 wounded.

Labor Day is about more than thanking the workers who move America forward. It’s about respecting their work and the rights they’ve fought for. Every worker deserves dignity on the job and a fair voice in the workplace—those principles are worth defending today and every day.

There's no money for food stamps, Medicaid, or public schools, but sure, we've got $100 million for Trump's "tribute to Nazi architecture" arch (plus the costs we'll incur to tear down this patently illegal project). It's time to put the adults back in charge. Fuck this shit.

Another instance of Trump claiming costs are dropping. Sure, HIS family’s costs are going down. Everything, including Trump’s golden statues and White House ballroom, is paid for by US taxpayers. But for the rest of us? We’re paying on average $3500 more on everyday essentials since he took office.

ICYMI: Trump economy is working great—for Donald Trump. Trump’s businesses took in $2.4B last year. His Republican megabill added nearly $40B in new fossil fuel subsidies over the next decade. And in the first month of his Iran, Big Oil raked in more than $30M an hour in windfall profits.

23,000 job losses in July, and another 103,000 jobs lost in May and June. Trump inherited an economy that was clearly on the upswing and ruined it with a toxic brew of tariffs, corruption and the Iran War. This is what happens when you put an economically illiterate crook in charge of our economy.
