So grateful that these fantastic organizations chose us to help represent them in the US Supreme Court in this incredibly important case. I'm very proud to have been part of the team on this powerful brief.

“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One"

FOX had to do a ton of dishonest broadcasting to support the regime's narrative that Portland is this hotbed of revolutionary violence

Ideally, the justices on the U.S. Supreme Court would react something like "you can't pressure us, we're going to do what the law requires." I guess we will see if for this case, this is the Court we have, or if he can stampede and threaten them and get his way

Schumer is so terrible at communications. He thinks it's all being clever with cutting legislative deals, and doesn't have any sense at all of how to reach people. This caving in has to end. The Democrats desperately need new leadership. Schumer should go

I feel like much has been said about this already, but brace yourselves for more CEOs to try to hold boards & investors hostage with threats to walk away & not try to focus on the business unless they get exceedingly large pay plans & other incentives.

In his first term, Congressional Rs acted as a check on his cashing in. When he wanted to move a big event from one resort to one of his, several Congressional Rs objected and he backed down. Now, they're so afraid of him that none of them made a peep when he said he was going to give himself $230 m

I agree with the folks who say the current form of the U.S. government is patrimonial, where rather than any ideology or set of principles, policy is based on the impulses, desires and needs of one man. I guess the Tesla board decided that's what its shareholders wanted for the company as well

If I had a health emergency, having Bobby Kennedy run away would be wildly more desirable than having him come over. With his ideas about health, I worry he'd try to give someone a tracheotomy with a spoon or something and kill them

Jackson says the decision is "more than merely regrettable. It is an abdication of the Court's duty to ensure that equitable standards apply equally to all litigants—to transgender people and the Government alike." And she faults the majority for ignoring "the animus evident in the Executive Order."

The biggest story in the country right now should be Donald Trump admitting he has no idea who he's pardoning—and that he only pardoned a crypto fraudster because his sons told him to. Could you imagine the reaction if Joe Biden admitted something like that?

Gee, I don't know. Aren't you worried we're going to lose the numerous "Steven Miller Democrats"? (jk)

Teen Vogue was actually breaking stories investigated by real journalists, and was going where the facts took them. And some rich powerful people took notice. Another actual journalism outlet swallowed up

And a "plan" to "come up with something better" is more like a generic wish. "I wish everyone had private medical care for free." What a ridiculous lie, they're taking away millions of peoples' insurance and they're going to force hospitals to close, but it's o.k. b/c they have vague hopes

With CBS and the Washington Post becoming state media, just like FOX, a right wing takeover of Tik Tok joining Musk seizing Twitter, progressive messages don't have billionaires amplifying them. This is a much bigger problem than how to frame "give people healthcare"

My strong impression is that progressive voters want to see their leaders stand up to Trump and call out his authoritarian abuses. So Pritzker, AOC, Raskin et al are meeting the moment for us and Schumer and Jefferies are not.

In a related story, Jamaica about to be pounded by the most devastating hurricane on record. Having the regime pushing fossil fuels to please campaign donors is going to kill a lot of people, destroy a lot of homes, kill species

For all the people alarmed by the rapid rise in the national debt, the Biden Administration tried hard to raise taxes on the wealthiest, and SInema crossed over to join the 50 R Senators so there weren't votes to take a step back from oligarchy. She's a big part of how the super rich got richer

Watters might as well be State Media in North Korea. He will energetically sell whatever lies advance the interests of the regime. He's a propagandist, not a journalist.

It's absolutely terrible that Trump only feels a need to act like a beneficent President to people he thinks voted for him, not the whole country But it's striking that they're so lazy and non-strategic that half the time they accidentally screw over people who DID vote for him

I get why people are upset about the regime tearing down the East Wing, blowing up small boats, invading Chicago, none of those things is a "distraction" But too many people are sleeping on the ways that climate change is causing increasing devastation, and the regime is intentionally speeding it

Treating allies and our largest trading partners like enemies and with contempt is going to turn out to have very large and very harmful consequences for the U.S.

It's frustrating sometimes to see a bunch of people at this site complaining that the Democrats don't do anything, aren't fighting hard enough. Jamie Raskin is my representative, and I'm so proud of the incredible work he does. He's the exact opposite of this regime, and is doing all he can

That he's just decided he wants and he's taking $230 million of taxpayer money for himself is terrible. But what's really awful is that Congressional Rs are so afraid of him that none of them are willing to publicly say "hey, you can't just steal that money"

One of Trump's favorite tactics is to do something outrageous right in front of the cameras. Then all Congressional Rs ignore it or approve out of fear of him, and FOX and his media praise him. And he moves the window of what he can do (like steal $230 million from taxpayers).

Math is so hard!] I wonder if MAGA supporters will be walking into CVS's across America expecting to be PAID hundreds of dollars to accept pharmaceuticals? And you know not a single person who works for him would explain to him why what he said makes no sense

I don't know that "future presidents" will hold these broad powers, with the Supreme Court as it is. They kept sharply restricting Joe Biden's presidential powers ("major questions doctrine," etc). I suspect that unless the Court changes, only future Republican presidents will have these powers

In both the Philippines and El Salvador, right wing leaders began just murdering people they said were drug dealers. Even though the population knew they were making a lot of mistakes, it was still very popular. Trump has praised both of these countries as models.

No Kings in Maryland!

Literally nothing too big or small for him to lie about

The regime's plan seems to be that it's State Media (FOX et al) will just tell everyone that a) things are cheaper than they were, and b) any prices that feel too high are Joe Biden's fault. Even for people in information deserts, it's hard to see this strategy working forever

I wish that there had been unprecedented spending opposing the gerrymandering in red states, but I guess no rich people felt that their interests were imperiled by it.

"Anyone who disagrees with Trump is a terrorist," from the people wringing their hands some of Trump's critics use strong language like "fascism" and "corrupt."

The people who lied about Portland supposedly burning being an emergency giving them power, or that foreign films was an emergency giving them power to impose tariffs, sound like they're considering declaring an "emergency" that lets them avoid elections

To the regime, saving the homes and lives of Native people is wasteful "DEI." The Administration has a very narrow view of whose lives matter, and everyone else is like an NPC

Hey @NBA.com, you make it impossible to sign in with League Pass, you take $ but I can't get through, no consumer contact. And then it's impossible to cancel You know, many states have good consumer protection laws about this kind of thing

If voters pick a Democrat, Johnson's effectively refusing to acknowledge and implement the result of the election. This is profoundly undemocratic and disrespectful to voters.

So many stories of ICE agents acting like there are no rules, no laws that restrict them

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Trump knows fuck all about fuck all

Susan Collins consistently takes actions to let Trump do absolutely everything he wants to do, and then later explains that she opposed all the parts that are unpopular with her voters. I wish her actions occasionally met her words

Stephen Miller is the most powerful White House aid in memory because Trump is the weakest and most befuddled President we've seen

Incredibly important thread here

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News. Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios. www.axios.com/2025/10/09/d...

Trump's literally having a conversation with a guy who thinks the people who opposed Hitler were the problem, and it's just airing on US TV like this is normal

My theory is that when Bezos watched Succession, he said to himself "I want to be more like Logan Roy," and he's acting on it

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

So SCOTUS is leaning towards recognizing the First Amendment right to drive children to harm themselves? In the post-expertise world, we're just going to ignore the vast weight of professional medical opinion?

A principal difference between lying on FOX News and lying to a court of law is that the court looks to the lawyers to produce actual admissible evidence. Trump making up a fictional Portland doesn't pass muster in court
