Don’t turn on the State of the Union on Tuesday. Make it the lowest rated in history.

✨ It’s a yes or no question ✨

New polling says Jasmine Crockett has the best chances to beat Ken Paxton in Texas. The “she can’t win” crowd might want to start updating their talking points because the voters know what’s up.

A tariff “refund” mostly goes to whoever wrote the tariff check: the importer of record. That’s not the same person who paid more at the register. So refunds -- if they're offered -- might sound like consumer relief, but in reality, they're corporate windfalls.

MAGA chief of staff to an Alaska senator arrested—for sex trafficking at least 12 children. Police report calls him "compulsive child exploitation offender" engaging in "high-volume conduct" with 13-year-old girls. Last victim was supposed to be a "birthday gift"—but her mother managed rescue her.

What problem is Trump's new global 10% tariff meant to solve? If it's about leverage, ask: How much leverage do you get from a tariff that disappears in 150 days? If it's onshoring: Who builds new factories based on tariff that disappear before the factory is built? It's a tax. That's all it is.

ICE’s terror is traumatizing our kids. Take a look at what these parents had to say.

ICE is crushing Minneapolis economy. On the pod, Mayor Jacob Frey tallies up damage: $203 million overall $80 million small biz losses $5 million hotel cancellations 75K people food insecurity "Impact is staggering," Frey tells us. Bleeding city for being diverse: newrepublic.com/article/2066...

I don’t know how anyone could listen to Jasmine Crockett’s full response to Jen Psaki’s question about Stephen Colbert’s interview with James Talarico and have a problem with it. She’s keeping it real by saying it worked out well for Talarico’s campaign, which is accurate.

AIPAC is secretly funnelling millions into three Chicago House races Democrats say the powerful pro-Israel group is meddling in their races, using shell organizations to secretly crush progressive candidates in Chicago. If you care about the future of the Democratic Party, you should be outraged.

You’re on social media, so this should concern you. The U.S. government has been asking platforms like Meta for user data. You don’t have to be paranoid to see the problem. You just have to be paying attention. If you’re online, this includes you. 1/2

Wait, did the SAVE Act already pass and they forgot to tell voters? No! I’m going to need an update on this. I hope she was able to cast her ballot in the primary. Texans, if this is happening to you, post your story with the polling location. Put it on blast. And report it.

LEFT: Someone who appears in the Epstein files over a million times. Epstein called him his "best friend." RIGHT: Someone never mentioned in the Epstein files—even once. And she never met him. So guess which one is being hauled before our corrupt, cover-upping Congress to testify about Epstein.

A Marine veteran who witnessed Alex Pretti shooting claims that federal agents held a gun to his head, detained him, seized his phone, took fingerprints and DNA without a warrant, and held him for eight hours before releasing him without charges into subzero temperatures.

They want to scare people out of posting ICE-critical content, because they know these posts are turning even their supporters against them. But the better option is to take a page out of their playbook and flood the zone.

Right-wing Heritage Foundation’s own data shows fewer than 100 noncitizens voted since 1982 (!!!) This is not a real problem. “The SAVE ACT is a Trojan horse to nationalize elections”: open.substack.com/pub/thiswill...

They are places I haven't been, languages I don't speak, foods I haven't tried, books I haven't read, and people I haven't met. I wake up every day excited to learn about the world and the things in it. What separates me (and us!) from the gutter racists is that we see existence as joyful.

Boom!

Wealth inequality has set the stage for our current political condition. The billionaires stay in power by dividing the groups who might otherwise unite and oust them from power. The race baiting, xenophobia, homophobia, and faux religious pandering is all part of the strategy. We shall overcome.

There were signs.

Leonard Leo is a lawyer, but he's never argued a case in court. He's never held elected office. But for years he rebuilt the American legal system, resulting in the Supreme Court's right-wing supermajority. (Published Oct. 2023)

Did you see this today? Anti #ICE protesters carried a MASSIVE U.S. Constitution through the streets of Minneapolis. Not a flag. Not a slogan. The Constitution. Thousands marched, demanding accountability and asking whether federal enforcement is aligning with the rights written on those pages.

🥺

If my followers have been inspired by the fierce resistance the Twin Cities has put up to ICE, you should make it a point to take a trip here (April through October 😬), enjoy the wonderful things MN has to offer and support our small businesses. It continues to be a really tough time for them.

Stop going to starbucks, there are so many better options... Get yourself a french press..

The German SS didn't just recruit fanatics during WWII, they recruited criminals and convicts, offering them pay, uniforms, promised pardons, and the ability to operate with complete impunity. If that model sounds familiar - that means you are paying attention.

The Republicans are reportedly complaining that, if the American people demanded the resignation and arrest of everyone involved in the cover up of the #EpsteinFiles, the #Trump Administration would have "like 3 people left." Well, where's the flaw?

Insane levels of corruption. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

The Epstein money trail leads straight to 45*! 45* sent FOUR THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE (4725) wire transfers to Jeffrey Epstein. They totaled over $1.1 billion. 😱
