What I have said since Trump rode down the escalator for his first campaign: Don’t tell voters who you are against, tell thema what you are for!

Do you think it’s a coincidence that Trump said today he would soon talk with Bolsonaro? Of course, it would be much easier to take that call if Brazil’s presidential felon escaped to claim asylum in the US Embassy. So glad we respect for the rule of law in Brazil!

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Certainly DOJ will interview former employees and vendors who serviced Epstein properties, and subpoena any CCTV video from his properties as part of its “investigation”. There are bound to be MANY workers who can say who was there and what went on. /s

For Trump: Seafood towers at Mar-A-Lago For Americans: Bread lines

This is, unsurprisingly, nonsensical. Is he suggesting eliminating health insurance and giving people a few thousand dollars instead? And then when they get a cancer diagnosis they just go bankrupt? He is so unserious. That's why we are shut down and Americans know it.

This is what oligarchy looks like: If you're Elon Musk, the richest man alive, Tesla gives you a $1 trillion pay package & Trump gives you a huge tax break. If you're a poor kid on SNAP, Trump appeals a court decision that would have prevented you from going hungry. Obscene.

It's well past time for the Apple App Store and Microsoft Store to take Twitter down. The site is seemingly exercising zero content moderation at all, and the owner of the site is reinstating neo-Nazi accounts that publish dangerous information.

No solidarity. Reporters let Trump talk this way to a woman reporter and then clamor to get their own question answered. He used to do it to April Ryan, Yamiche Alcindor and Abby Phillip. And that’s why he controls media. No solidarity.

And his fellow members of the Cuban emigré community who had their temporary protected status revoked by his Dear Leader should never let him forget this either.

“"We regularly ask our broadcasters to refrain from showcasing off-court disruptions," USTA spokesman Brendan McIntyre told The Athletic” Ha, Ha, Ha!!

Chicago doesn't play

A reminder to everyone to remember: Crimea is Ukraine. Mariupol is Ukraine. Donetsk is Ukraine. Luhansk is Ukraine.

Has any one added up how much it will cost just to rebrand DOD as the “War Department” to fluff Trump’s ego? And which Trump crony is getting the no bid contract for that job? He sure loves to spend OPM!

My statement on @nadler.house.gov’s decision not to seek re-election next year.

Move along, move along. Nothing to see here.

I think Trump himself thinks he's more or less invincible and is going to act like it, with catastrophic results for himself. His more apocalyptic advisors, like Miller and Hegseth, seem inclined to bet everything on a slim chance of victory rather than give up their dreams of a Herrenvolk state.

She just earned her Get Out of Jail Free card. But are we surprised? Forgone conclusion when she got moved to min sec prison in TX and had her privileges upgraded. She played her hand well.

One of the best ways to cripple Russia’s ambitions longterm would be to moonshot renewables development then spread the tech everywhere super-cheap. Russia produces nothing of significance beyond oil and gas. The economy would tank. Plus a huge win in the fight against the climate crisis.

It’s the leading edge of the Trump Recession. Enjoy it while you can, because that decline in consumer confidence will only increase.

Yes, on all points! Someone needs to tell Redstone not to sacrifice her principles for the sake of a deal. If she can’t sell Paramount now, she will have another chance—if not several—in a little over 3 years.

Speechless.

Or you could say that Rogan knows how to pick a wave he can ride to the social media beach. But that would be cynical, wouldn’t it?

And don’t forget it provides a convenient excuse to arrest those Americans who can’t take “a little inconvenience” and decide to protest the pointless destruction of their economy to give billionaires an opening to buy on the dip.

Don't forget #TeslaTakedown. Twin Cities protests have grown from 15 people three weeks ago to 100+ this Sat. Many posters, bullhorn and positive reactions by people driving by are empowering and creating community. Engagement by drivers honking to support the cause creates secondary buy-in.

Make it part of your weekly routine to call your Congressional delegation and demand they stand against fascism and incompetence in Trump’s White House. Www.5calls.org helps you keep up the pressure!

Hell yeah! My father and father-in-law fought in two wars against the kind of people Trump embraces. If they were alive today, they would also want Trump/Vance removed from office.

@jamellebouie.net NYT should have given you a few more lines for today’s column so that you could add, “When Musk is finally dethroned for his crimes and malfeasance, Trump will deny knowledge of or responsibility for his actions. That’s the classic mafia don defense.” It’s a great read all the same

If senior leadership doesn’t understand or acknowledge that we’re in an emergency, junior Dems should ruthlessly undermine them and push them out.

Trumpcession coming soon

It would be good if the UK canceled Trumps visit. He’s an international pariah and a source of shame to all upstanding Americans

Perhaps it’s time for a nationwide strike by lawyers handling criminal cases brought by DOJ. If proceedings are paralyzed by a work stoppage, the courts might intervene to stop this abuse. It’s time to pull the fire alarm.

As someone who lives on welfare in a red state, I've already been getting massive cuts to SNAP (as the GOP loves to fudge the numbers) even though my life hasn't changed one iota in the past year, yet I still lost out. This will end them in any meaningful fashion going forward if it passes into law.

Agree with you, but what if their “deal” cuts Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid to pay for billionaires’ tax cut, more border theater, and more HW the military didn’t ask for?

There's no harm in Dems adding to their messaging, "the constant stream of sudden gov't changes is ridiculous, Trump and his appointees are incompetent and Republicans in Congress are useless toadies." Repeat it enough times and people will correctly associate gov't dysfunction with Trump/GOP.

JOURNALISTS: If you're going to yell at the New York Times and other outlets for their timid coverage of Musk's salute (and you should!) be sure to yell at them for NOT INCLUDING THE FULL CONTEXT OF MUSK'S PROMOTION OF NAZIS ON HIS PLATFORM AND IN HIS POLITICS. That's the key!

Happy MLK Day.

I’m glad I did nahtsee that. I would have had a stroke.

Rolling Stone gets it. #DepartmentOfGreedAndExcess www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: The message I’m hearing from people across Canada is this: they’re not afraid of you. They know you’re a convicted felon. They know that the people you’re bringing in to run your, let’s call it an “organization” rather than a government, are grifters, thieves, and thugs.

Your thesis won’t survive a stress test. And we are overdue for that test.

Just a reminder that in 2019, RFK Jr.'s anti-vaccine misinformation campaign helped cause a measles outbreak in Samoa that killed 83 people, mostly kids. Do you really want him to lead the Department of Health and Human Services?

We are in dangerous territory folks. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

When they talk about privatizing Veterans’ care and Medicare, they mean allowing companies to provide healthcare for a profit. But how do companies make those profits? By *denying* care to many who need it. Don’t get fooled by the “privatization” label. It means “for profit” and YOU are the cost.
