Billionaires have only one policy position…more billions.

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage. The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn. No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Jack Schlossberg, JFK's grandson, Caroline's son, posted this photo. I strongly recommend following him, "jackuno." So much of this gorgeous photo, bulldozed & covered with slabs of concrete. Soulless. Empty. This photo is all about life, color, beauty, promise. Now bulldozed & drowned in cement.

Reagan absolutely did not love tariffs. His entire speech was about how reluctant he was to impose even highly targeted tariffs on Japan, because tariffs harm the U.S. economy.

Miller's comments bring to mind this excellent exhibit at the Smithsonian in the 1990s. www.si.edu/exhibitions/...

A Bard College student was kidnapped by ICE and Bard’s administration is advocating for his release and has created a website to assist the rest of the community in joining them. That’s what academic leaders should be doing for their students right now. www.instagram.com/p/DQKSTDJkeF...

Over the past few days, cattle ranchers and agricultural groups have been sounding the alarm that a plan to import more foreign beef would hurt struggling ranchers. n.pr/3Wor7aG

“At this moment in time, the ballroom is really the President’s main priority.” — Karoline Leavitt Not wages, education, utility bills, health care, housing, food insecurity, veterans, child care, climate disasters, tariffs, national security, or a gov shutdown. A ballroom.

If tax rate was actually all that the rich cared about the way they try to scaremonger the public into believing they'd all be living in the UAE, it's literally all just a longform con

Historian Alexis Coe testified on the JFK files—and walked into a circus. GOP reps ditched facts for Fox-friendly conspiracy. The lone Democrat? Ghosted halfway through. The result? A masterclass in dysfunction.

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

The East Wing was the First Ladies' Wing. But at least now the He-Man Woman Haters' Club can proceed uninterrupted. 🙄

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

This has legs. It will build over time. Also, most in congress (R’s or D’s) aren’t exactly the bravest leaders. Not in their nature.

Seeing the destruction of the White House makes me emotional because Trump is so visibly flaunting the absence of constraints to his abuse of authority. He’s tearing down parts of the People’s House to construct a massive fascist temple where people will come to pay tribute to him. It’s grotesque.

yeah the privilege of being a broke ass tranny working in a dying industry.

The first time the Confederate flag ever paraded through the US Capitol was on January 6, 2021. The first time the White House was damaged in over 200 years since the US rebuilt in the 1820s after the British burned it in the war of 1812 was mid October, 2025.

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

The President of the United States is literally bulldozing The White House. Incoming cliché: “We are living in the worst timeline.”

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

On state tv, Trump lapdog Jesse Watters obediently frames Trump demolishing part of the White House to build a giant ego room as though it’s some heroic act Dems are jealous of rather than an unpatriotic disgrace they’d lose their mind over if Obama or Biden had done it

An incalculable historical loss.

Here's the thing I don't understand. You can't as much as sneeze near a historic site in Washington without like 14 commissions, councils, and advisory boards giving you the okay. And everybody now is like...yup, fine with us? wtf?

WELL HOW ABOUT THAT "A millionaire levy in Massachusetts has generated $3 billion more in revenue than expected without forcing significant high-profile departures from the state." www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Franklin is like Lincoln in he can't be contained. But Brands and Wood are very good. Read them first, then the Autobiography. To appreciate the Autobiography you have to know when and how to read between the lines. Then of course Schiff on Paris. There are recent good books just on the science.

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

I literally taught an entire college lecture about how you should never do exactly this.

The Tony Blair Institute is heavily backed by Larry Ellison & was “involved in plans to create a new ‘Trump Riviera.’” That vision “envisages creating a ‘blockchain registry for land’ to underpin the construction of up to 8 ‘AI-powered, smart planned cities on the inner side of the Gaza Ring.“ …1/

Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

"One of the strongest natural proofs of the folly of hereditary right in kings, is, that nature disapproves it, otherwise she would not so frequently turn it into ridicule by giving mankind an ass for a lion."- Thomas Paine, "Common Sense" (1776)

As terrorists who hate America do.

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

The Trump administration is spending $172 million on two jets for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and other senior officials

No Kings-Chicago, IL

Boston. Wow.

Because really, who are Americans to question their monarch about matters of state

Again, this is a liquidation of the union in all but letter of the law. This is reverse secessionism engineered by a central government.

“”I am tired of new rules,” one civilian told me. “They clearly don’t want us,” an Army colonel said.”

It is at least *interesting* that the people making this supposedly world-changing technology think its most profitable use cases are: social media videos and sexting.

He really put a "but I'm different" in his eulogy. What a mind.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!! The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/
