I closed my trade imbalance with the grocery store, now I just eat the money I would have spent there.

For decades, the IRS has been required to audit every sitting president annually; a critical safeguard to ensure no president has a secret financial stake in betting against the American people they swore to serve. Every president accepted those audits without question. - Until now.

At this point in the US, there are so many grotesque moral crimes for which no one has faced any accountability that it's getting difficult even to keep all of them in your head. We're too exhausted to catalog them much less seek any resolution or justice.

Remember when they won an election by accusing a vulnerable immigrant community of *eating pets*? Like, do you feel like we took the time to really appreciate how deeply horrific & repulsive that is? Did anyone involved even run into any friction, much less blowback? That was like 47 horrors ago.

I was in a 2 hour briefing today on the Iran War. All the briefings are closed, because Trump can't defend this war in public. I obviously can't disclose classified info, but you deserve to know how incoherent and incomplete these war plans are. 1/ Here's what I can share:

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

The thing is, some people can make mistakes, get things wrong, be careless, etc. But that’s not what Jennings did here. Jennings knowingly, purposefully and intentionally lied to utterly distort what was said, which CNN pays him to do every day. CNN is the enabler of this.

If any MN politicians want to see what’s really happening, they’re welcome to come ride along on my ICE patrol. They can watch 20 armed goons jump out of a racing convoy and abduct a random pedestrian, tear-gassing a half-dozen onlookers in the process, and then tell me how we need this agency

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

It’s insane to treat the filibuster as the most sacrosanct. Article 1 power of the purse, oversight, and war? Nah. Emoluments clauses? Bribery prohibition? Meh. Criminal law? 14A? Doesn’t count. But maybe the Senate changes a rule it has multiple times before? Gasp! Not that. Anything but that.

I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.

When I explain that boycotting an election over an issue has never once forced a politician to embrace that issue, I'm not "scolding people to vote." I'm explaining reality. Feel free to sit on your ass! Just don't pretend that your lazy apathy is somehow going to advance your agenda.

Our current President is a traitorous, convicted felon, and a court-adjudicated rapist who lacks the intelligence, character, decency, and cognitive ability to lead. His presence is doing us irreparable harm. We should not normalize him, but normalize stating the truth about him.

Law enforcement officers should never cover their faces when making arrests or conceal their identities (unless they are working undercover). They work for us. We have a right to know who they are. These face coverings are frightening & unAmerican, as though they're ashamed of what they're doing.

If they suspend Habeas Corpus, it won't just be for "migrants" or "illegals" or "criminals." If they suspend Habeas Corpus it will be for you and me and whomever this regime decides is unfit, undesirable, and a threat or a problem. This is how it works. This is how it's always worked.

So many videos are circulating of ICE agents acting with cruelty and aggression. Behavior that eerily mirrors the “domestic terrorism” they claim to oppose. No one is forcing them to act this way; it’s a choice.
