Stephen Miller is one of Trump's most loyal and trusted advisers, responsible for a wide slate of controversial policies. But his standing among Republicans on Capitol Hill isn't great, with many telling me he's going to far... puck.news/are-republic...

The right wing media machine incentives the constant production of “evidence” to fit their frames. News influencers “work” by selectively amplifying content that aligns w/ their frames/goals. The left seems to be catching on, but they need to do more than just solicit content, they need to reward it

This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it.

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

History and Article IV’s Guarantee Clause makes clear that a state’s governor cannot remove members of the legislature. No governor has ever claimed such power. It runs against the full history of Texas and American democracy as a whole. open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

open.substack.com

Governors Can Not Remove Elected Legislators. Period.

A democracy must have an independent legislature. Only voters elect and unelect representatives.

Trump ran on lowering the price of eggs, restoring freedom of speech, ending the war in Ukraine and making America “great again.” Eggs are more expensive than ever, peaceful protestors are being arrested without cause and we’ve abandoned Ukraine. So, when exactly does the “great again” part start?

If you're wondering about the vibe in Canada right now, I just got served this ad for a brewhouse that is just a portrait of the White House being burned down. No text, just a bigass picture of the White House burning and a link directly to their menu lolol

A gorgeous portrait of the White House entirely aflame, the smoke billowing and the flames lighting up the night sky. It sparks deep patriotic ferver. This is what democracy looks like.

Also there's a white button with blue text below the portrait. The text reads "Learn more" and if clicked it takes you to the menu of a local brewhouse.

I sure would like to know who has been buying the dips right before Trump announces he has changed his mind and reverses a tariff. Seems like valuable information in the markets to know when he announces a tariff and when he’s going to rescind it.

Trump wants to fire 83k VA workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, decimating the VA & making it harder for veterans to get health care & benefits. When Americans put their lives on the line to defend our country, we must keep our commitments to them — not betray them.

Who exactly pays a tariff. The importer Not the country of origin the tariff is on. Who then raises prices accordingly and charges that much extra to the people he sells to. The importer pays a tariff as a tax to the treasury dep. In the end The tariff is paid by the consumer.

Fun fact about Trump tariffs you won’t see in 99% of the reporting: Trump tariffs are illegal. Congress controls tariffs just like tax rates. President can change a tariff only for national security emergency, meaning war.
