Wave of drones closes Munich airport. And a couple of days ago I read Denmark is freaked out about many drone sightings. They think it's Russia probing NATO resistance. Our president won't stand up to Russia. He calls together all the generals to show how tough he is, but he won't challenge Putin.

I think MSNBC overreacted to his statement. I'll miss his voice. If they felt it necessary, maybe a reprimand would have been more appropriate.

Trump has a unique negotiating style. He spots the opponent every thing it wants before starting, then hopes his personal charms will win him concessions. It’s not working very well.

Hearing Texas Republicans pointing to Illinois as how both sides are redistricting sounds a little shallow from here in North Carolina, a state that elects Democratic governors but where 10 of 13 congressional districts go to Republicans.

A lot of folks in liberal circles lump Hakeem Jeffries in with Chuck Schumer as an ineffectual advocate, but he's been speaking on the House floor for more than 6 hours to delay the vote on the Bloated Ugly Bill. Good on him!

At a time of near-record inequalities of income and wealth, Senate Republicans have passed the largest redistribution of income upward in the history of this nation. It will now be voted on in the House. Call your reps and demand they vote "NO" on this travesty: (202) 224-3121.

The day after the Iran strike, I said I couldn't find a reason to oppose crippling Iran's nuclear program. It was a success. Then we spent a week arguing over whether it was "obliterated" or not. Only Trump could snatch a stupid controversy from the jaws of victory.

IT says more than two-thirds of total tax cuts go to those with annual incomes of about $217,000 or more ... It would cut spending on programs that benefit lower income people. Take from the poor, give to the rich. Trump and Republican lawmakers are Reverse Robin Hoods!

Addendum: I'm not saying trashing law firms and higher education and unfair deportations shouldn't be opposed, those are righteous causes. I'm just saying the same old thing: It's the economy, stupid.

His ratings won't really come down with working folk until they feel the pain of tariffs and realize prices are going up, not down. And when that happens, Democrats must be ready with easily explained solutions that make sense for the working class, not slogans or rallying cries. 2/2

My most favorite topic is What Should Dems Do? Job 1 is to bring working stiffs back to the Democratic party. They don't care about law firms or Harvard or USAID or even Abrego Garcia. Trump's approval rating has only fallen 3 percentage points to 47%, according to NYT. 1/

The problem is they fear a primary challenge more than a general election loss. We Dems need to change that! It starts with local elections.

But in congratulating himself and Trump on a civil visit, he misses how horrifying Trump is. Children are dying, good workers are fired, safety is compromised because of Trump's malignant policies. Just because he's polite in person doesn't mean we shouldn't send "insults from 3,000 miles away." 2/2

I watched Bill Maher's show Friday night, as usual. I disagree with his take on the Trump visit, but I also disagree with the histrionics I've seen on here. He's not a Nazi and he's not a Republican for years. He's a slightly left of center comedian impatient with exclusionary cancel culture. 1/

Si Cantwell @sicantwell.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

We now know that Trump's "reciprocal" tariffs are based on trade deficits with each country, not their tariffs on us. We run a trade deficit because we buy more of their stuff than we sell. We're the richest country on earth. Just because we buy more stuff doesn't mean they're ripping us off.
