"We have nothing to lose but our chains"

Trump administration just ordered permitting a giant oil tunnel through the Great Lakes in Michigan without environmental review to benefit a Canadian oil giant. A major Trump donor would build it.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

The truth

In the smartest conversation I've read in weeks, Tom Friedman advises Gretchen Whitmer and other Democrats: "I would not be doing Trump lite."

Why I refuse to normalize this president: Appeasement is not workable strategy with a fascist. www.mlive.com/politics/202...

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

This guy was an early bird at the giant DC Hands Off! protest yesterday and didn't move from his perch at the base of the Washington Monument

You guys wanna see a dead body 🤣💀

I only associate with the best people

Hands Off! Massive turnout here at the Washington Monument. Huge numbers still arriving. #handsoff!

Hands Off! National Mall

Hands Off! National Mall

"We cannot leave the security of Europe in the hands of voters in Wisconsin every four years.”

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

In my conversation with Chancellor Scholz this morning, we agreed to strengthen the diverse trade relationship between Canada and Germany.    As we face the crisis caused by President Trump’s tariffs, reliable trade partners are more important than ever.

…So let me get this straight: New Jersey is represented by legendary badass CORY BOOKER. While New York is stuck with Chuck “obey in advance” Schumer, and Pennsylvania has John “next Kyrsten Sinema” Fetterman. As regional rivalries go, that has really gotta sting.

Resist! Listened for two hours today. An amazing tour de force

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

Corey Booker's (so far) 24-hour marathon slamming Trump should rally Democratic leaders from there slumber. Will it?

Right now actions by Trump and his allies have civil society and establishment Democrats on their heels. This is a critical time for action to save American democracy.

Just sayin’: Actuarially speaking, there is a decent chance that I will outlive Elon Musk. I fully expect the annual celebration of his demise to become a national fucking holiday. It’s gonna be LIT.

MI AG here 👋. I specifically oppose: ▪️Hiring contractors who lack proper security vetting; ▪️Giving them access to American’s most personal financial & health information, & ▪️Allowing them to download that data into unsecured servers that are likely to be hacked, for a start.

Great to catch up with members of the Grand Traverse Democrats tonight in Traverse City . Our work to defend democracy and the rule of law doesn’t stop — it's a commitment that must continue.

On April 5, we’re uniting to say Hands Off! Join me to fight back against Trump’s unprecedented power grab. app.sosha.ai/s/UoqjTrBl

Every single political advocacy organization based in the United States:

I'm as American as baseball, apple pie and Ford, but if I had a stock portfolio I'd be moving it to Europe. More value, less Trumpers

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

Punished for truth-telling that Trump is organizing white supremacy

Who could have predicted Trump would tank the economy? Apparently not his voters. #dumbnation

Look I’m no finance genius but I’m just not sure this whole crash-the-economy-while-telling-your-supporters-to-impulse-buy-$100,000-cars plan is gonna do it.

Bulls are self-deporting to Europe as bear market stalks America. So much greatness.

Oh Canada. Why can't we be more like you?

The United States without DEI

Disgusting prick

Britain & France lead the free world

It begins. Norwegian petroleum giant Haltbakk Bunkers has declared it will NO LONGER HELP THE US NAVY. A petrol giant in Norway has announced a ban on fuel sales to all US forces following Donald Trump's treatment of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House, it has been reported.

I am a Marine Corps veteran and I stand with Ukraine.

I stand with Canada and Europe's democracies in 100% support for Ukraine's fight against the dictator Putin

Today we have two kinds of Democrats: 1)small d democracy Dems like Chris Murphy & Pritzker and 2)weak Democrats looking for safe havens from the storm or just plain lame.If we survive Trump it's a helpful sorting for voters.
