Ronald Reagan said it. #NoKings tomorrow 10/18

Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

We have almost 500 people registered in our small community outside of Los Angeles. Far more people than we have ever had before. We are excited and energized, yellow safety vests ready.

Liberal South Carolina Judge Diane Goodstein's home is burning to the ground after an explosion. SLED is investigation as arson and refer attack as Judge Goodstein had been receiving multiple threats.

I’ve been trying to explain to people the full extent of assfuckery accomplished by the ending of the de minimis rule Small businesses, independent creators, publishing companies, Etsy-style shops & just plain ol’ folks in the US trying to buy stuff from anywhere else are royally fucked

Aside from everything else, they’re pissing our tax dollars away on dragging National Guard troops away from their lives to participate in a stunt while they’re defunding food programs for kids and cancer research.

Trump wants us to forget his Epstein files cover-up so badly that he’s invading Washington D.C.

If the economy buckles under this crew...don’t buy the ‘oops’ narrative. They profit from volatility...chaos...and pain. And if you can’t afford rent or food...remember...it wasn’t an accident.

Crap. “The Rock” Is on USA Network tonight. I’m sure we’ll get a few more Trump quotes on Alcatraz at tomorrow’s presser.

Spot on. This is the clearest explanation I’ve seen. It ‘s relatable, and humanizes the issue in a way everyone can understand.

WHERE ARE THE TRUMP TWEETS TONIGHT??? LOLOLOL!

In their latest budget move, the White House wants to: -cut support for preschools and homeless kids -end programs that keep pesticides and toxic chemicals away from our families. -take money away from farmers. All so mega-rich Republicans can upgrade their yachts with tax handouts.

That would be awful. Don’t share this.

Mostly, I want democracy.

The news media is crowded with people who aren’t here to newsgather. They make no research or investigative contributions; just personalities whose job is comparable to pumping out youtube reaction videos. They’re entertainers, not journalists, and they’re paid 5x what decent reporters pull in.

We make about 1.4 trillion dollars on 600 billion in Chinese imports, this is going to put a shit ton of US businesses in the ground and shatter our economy. Good job you stupid maga dipshits.

A new Pope from Chicago needs a true Chicago introduction... 🔊

I am shocked. Just shocked. Do their last names start with T?

Why won’t any republicans stop this?

MEEKS: Does trade deficits constitute a national emergency? BESSENT: Yes MEEKS: Do you know that for the last four decades we have trade deficits and nobody said it was a national emergency?

Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much? They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs. Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher. Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.” It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Huge protests are the most important thing we can do right now. As MLK said: “there is no noise as powerful as the sound of marching feet of a determined people.” I’m talking numbers so large they shock people — friend and foe and media alike Here’s how: open.substack.com/pub/davidpep...

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him. He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons. He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him. He’s defying the Supreme Court. Don’t you see what’s happening here?

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia? Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

I'm sure this is legal...

All I’m saying is that President Harris wouldn’t have us looking at the futures market on a Sunday night.

One thing we have going for us … and it ain’t much … is that republican-appointed judges have savings, too.

The folks running this show want us to trust them with our Social Security.

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

If you are not watching @booker.senate.gov right now, drop everything and turn him on. History in the making.

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering

JD Vance should be forced to resign over this. Just shameful, demonstrable open lying by the vice president right out in the open.

Cory Booker. That’s the post. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Seconding this. If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know I’ve called out Booker before for not doing shit, but it’s important to also recognize when our electeds are starting to move in the right direction, and encourage them to keep going.

My senator @booker.senate.gov is rising to meet this moment, refusing to let the Senate pretend things are normal. How about yours? If they're a Democrat, call them and ask them to join Booker in this stand. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/inside-...

Marco Rubio on Rumeysa Ozturk: "We revoked her visa ... once you've lost your visa, you're no longer legally in the United States ... if you come into the US as a visitor and create a ruckus for us, we don't want it. We don't want it in our country. Go back and do it in your country."
