This is some wild shit but, will probably save the Fed. Because the Fed is the only independent agency the Republican Justices care about

why are the questions so telegraphed? he's using the exact same dodge every time. it's like they're trying to make reaction videos. just ask him what he thinks about NATO and run your own diff. surely he's heard of it.

It’s important to note that even though the importers jacked up prices on the American consumer, it’s the corporations that get these refunds. Not the consumers. So the rich, as always, will get richer while American consumers will have paid the price. END/

NEW: It appears that the Trump administration expects to lose the Tariff case. According to an anonymous source at CBP who sent me the below email, they’re already having meetings on how to refund the tariffs they’ve collected from importers - many American. 1/

So brave!!!!

There Is No Bigger Kitchen-Table Issue Than ICE Violence If Democrats wants to ease the affordability crisis, they’ll campaign on reining in the paramilitary force that’s making everything more expensive.

Reminder: Trump can threaten TO CHARGE people. But he has consistently poorly chosen his targets for legal martyrdom, and MOST such efforts have faced considerable problems in the courts.

Alito asks about a situation where videos emerge of a Fed governor praising Hitler. "That's an official that would be impeached in a heartbeat and would resign in half a heartbeat." ... "Impeachment — It's the ultimate backup here."

Conservative justices ask Clement a stream of hypotheticals about whether conduct predating Federal Reserve tenure would be "cause." Clement says past conduct isn't "cause."

It’s not your imagination. The chaos caused by the Mad King has reached new heights—and we are only one year into his prescribed four-year term. It will likely get worse before it gets better. But we can survive and prevail if enough of us continue to resist on behalf of all of us. bit.ly/4sMdrFv

‘Nostalgia is not a strategy’: Mark Carney is emerging as the unflinching realist ready to tackle Trump

She nailed Jennings to the wall with this. Good for her.

Andy McCabe could do the funniest thing right now.

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

Quite the statement from the Prime Minister of Poland

CARNEY: “.. You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination.” 🔥

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

Trump spent the weekend threatening our treaty allies with a military invasion to seize Greenland because he didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize. This talk of invading Greenland is absurd and embarrassing. Congress needs to put a stop to this now.

This is the best speech, just from a pure rhetoric perspective - its sophistication and persuasiveness - that I've seen a politician deliver in a good long while. Really recommend watching or reading the whole thing.

Congressman @ericswalwell.bsky.social is taking the fight from DC to CA, running to be the next Governor. He joins me to talk about his legislation to eliminate immunity for ICE agents like Jonathan Ross, and why the GOP always wants you *not* to believe your own eyes. youtu.be/L8FBAfBjku4?...

sanewashing a brain-rotted lunatic by calling him ‘enigmatic’ and ‘expansive’

This is not a rational person. And this is deeply disturbing coming from an American President. NATO is not our enemy—they are unequivocally our closest friends and allies. At this point, how can you not call into question the mental fitness of this President?

🇨🇦PM Carney just schooled our cowardly European leaders at #Davos. This speech was clearly aimed at them: "We must actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be." "What does it mean for middle powers to live the truth? First it means naming reality..." (🧵1/6)

This stopped being funny a long time ago. The only people this helps want to see us fall.

"What I see is a very professional law enforcement action." Gregory Bovino. What the Stuart Little of Nazis sees - when standing up - are the crotches of those he would kneel to but needs an apple box to reach.

Our UU congregants walked out today in frigid weather in Massachusetts to protect democracy and our neighbors. I'm so proud of our folks for living their faith aloud. #Walkout #Resist

A jury within 35 mins returned a not guilty verdict for a homeless man who was charge with flashing cat toy laser at the Convicted FElon's helicopter. youtu.be/-HAIZUlKgL8?...

Trump post: MAGA pastor credits him with “putting ‘Christ’ back into Christmas’”

Won't someone PLEASE, for the sake of all that's rational, give him some sort of prize to limit the worldwide damage he's been doing on a daily basis? #ThankYouForYourAttentionToHisDementia 🙏

Jennings: Let's not get our knickers in a twist here McGowan: Why are you talking like that? It's insane. Your attitude is just horrifying…

A reminder how ICE treats priests.

I flew down to south Texas today to do my job - investigate why people are dying in ICE detention centers. I was just illegally denied entry to Dilley Detention Center. Because they have something to hide.

Trump ratcheted up the uncertainty over how far he would be willing to go to acquire Greenland and warned the Nato alliance on Tuesday that it was only as strong as the United States allowed it to be

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

Yes.

As much as I do not want to write stuff like this, I am pleased that @profsaunders.bsky.social and I got to co-author something that is accessible but also good for the syllabus. www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Republicans have made a documented effort to mislead these communities with well funded, highly localized Spanish language propaganda campaigns in recent years, which, as is usually the case when mainstream reporters try to tease out a segment of the electorate's thinking, simply isn't mentioned

Now or never Dems. Need to speak, loudly, with one voice, on the future we want. For here is what is coming: 4/ bsky.app/profile/mili...

Yes, Ds should offer a resolute unified front - Congress, Govs, Mayors - against the European tariffs, the threats to the Western alliance, and Trump's plan to seize Greenland. Every person in America should know where we stand on this. Today. It's the right thing to do and good politics too. 3/

New Navigator data suggests Democrats would be wise to create a unified national front - Congress, Govs, Big Mayors - to come out against Trump's new, ruinous European tariffs: 1/ navigatorresearch.org/one-year-in-...

"If great powers abandon even the pretense of rules & values for the unhindered pursuit of their power & interest, the gains from transactionalism will become harder to replicate" -- Carney's speech at Davos is an extended criticism of the damage Trump is doing (though he's not mentioning his name)

Just going to reiterate the idea of blasting "Baby Shark" every time Bovino appears in public.

"Battalions of armed federal agents are moving thru neighborhoods, transit hubs, malls & parking lots & staging near churches, mosques & schools. Strangers w/guns have metastasized in spaces where daily life should be routine & safe... like a military occupation." www.startribune.com/editorial-mi...

it's a good thing you're starting World War III Donny, it's a very good thing!
