Deliberate destruction of culture was the subject of an episode of my podcast, Autocracy in America www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/202...

“.. Inflation was coming down in the United States — and then Trump’s tariffs happened.” @heathmayo.bsky.social

Meanwhile, the typical American will pay a federal income tax rate of 14.5% This is what a rigged system looks like. [Via @itep.org]

The United States is in an unprecedented crisis. A convicted criminal has attained the presidency. And he has decided that a crime is not a crime if it is committed on his behalf.

"Magyar wasn't engaging in a policy debate... His framing was Viktor Orbán and Fidesz are a criminal organization and we need to dismantle this... he connected the impact of the criminal organization to these rural Hungarians' experience." @ambpressman.bsky.social on how Magyar beat Orbán.

Amazon, which saved $4B in taxes under Trump's Big Ugly Bill, has cut 30,000 jobs since last October. Verizon, which saved $2B, plans to cut 15,000 jobs this year. Meta, which saved $3B, plans to lay off 20% or more of its workforce. Trickle-down economics is a cruel joke.

NEW: The Trump administration is reportedly working to deploy a “more powerful tool” inside the DHS not only to probe voter rolls for potential noncitizens, but to also pursue criminal cases against them. Some of the DHS officials behind the effort have deep ties to the election denial movement.

Can Dems convert 2024 Trump voters? Not those whose idea of "America First" is "the hard-core, nasty, soulless stuff," writes our Tim Miller. But others are "ripe for the taking right now because they have legitimate grievances and the president has demonstrated he doesn’t give a fuck about them."

At this point if you're on SubStack you might as well also fire up a Twitter account.

The next administration must take the lesson of this one; every single immigration judge hired under Trump 2.0 must be fired on day one.

This post is still live on X.

Over half of Americans want Congress to impeach Trump now, according to a new poll. One in seven Republicans backs it.

To figure out how to boost student voting, colleges have relied on a study about campus voter registration and turnout rates. A Trump administration investigation has cut schools off from new data. n.pr/3OrRHPJ

Wisconsin liberals have just won another state Supreme Court election, in what is shaping up to be a blowout. Importantly: Liberals are now sure to hold a majority on this court during the 2028 cycle and through at least 2030. New in @boltsmag.org: boltsmag.org/wisconsin-su...

NEW: Fifteen laws in 11 states that could immunize the fossil fuel industry from climate-related legal claims have either been passed or are being debated. Many bills are part of a coordinated effort by groups linked to right-wing activist Leonard Leo.

As if spending over $1 billion per day on a war that nobody wants wasn’t enough, Trump is demanding the biggest military budget in US history. Republicans can’t cut our healthcare to pay for Trump’s illegal war. Make sure your Members of Congress hear from you: act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

Saturday April 25 www.mobilize.us/disappearedi...

Two weeks ago, the Hungarian opposition was bracing for a false flag operation, an "emergency" that would allow Viktor Orban to turn the tide or even cancel an election he is losing. Now it appears to have arrived

Stephen Miller allegedly urged Department of Homeland Security agents to “force confrontations” with protesters in Minneapolis in order to win a “PR battle." trib.al/cKDTRX4

"While not all New Hampshire Republicans, thankfully, have abandoned their environmental and conservationist roots, enough of them have to warrant concern." Commentary from @danawormald.bsky.social #NHPolitics

The only people who benefit from the President's comments about withdrawing from NATO are Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping.

It’s not just Ms. Rachel. The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention. Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

Trump wants to decide who votes,,, in a democracy it’s the opposite-the voters decide the leaders, the leaders do not decide the voters #TrumpVotedByMail www.npr.org/2026/03/31/n...

Here we go. With new polls showing a Doomsday Scenario for Republicans in the midterms, Trump escalates efforts to try and steal the midterms with an unconstitutional and illegal order.

Just reupping this image from my newsletter last week, that I hope people will feel free to save and liberally spred around the interwebs. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Shocker: Trump is delivering a giant gift to the crypto industry. trib.al/3BRjOkv By making volatile crypto products widely available to millions of Americans via their 401(k)s, Trump is delivering a desperately needed bailout to a battered industry in which he happens to be a major investor.

“May Day is a chance for us to replicate what we saw in the Twin Cities nationwide.“ @ezralevin.bsky.social and @maddow.bsky.social talk about the major national action planned for May 1 and why exercising our economic might is key for protecting election results. #NoKings

Trump claims that if the SAVE America Act is passed, Democrats "will never win another election"

"The third No Kings protests were an unmistakable display of political force..." "Two-thirds of participants live in suburban, small town or rural areas, a 40% increase over last time in protesters from outside big cities..." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Demis Hassabis, a co-founder of Google’s DeepMind AI lab, “has devoted his life to creating a technology that he thinks has the potential to destroy the world,” Sebastian Mallaby writes in an excerpt from his new book that details his conversations with Hassabis:

It's official. We made history.

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations.

95% of Americans live within an hour of a No Kings protest.
