Boycott things made in El Salvador.

I’ve interviewed a lot of victims stayed in an abusive relationship because they worried their loved ones would judge them for not leaving sooner. They needed support and they knew they would get ridicule instead. And that’s something I’m thinking about a lot in this political environment.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

I want my government to be boring and competent enough so that I don’t have to think about it every goddamn minute.

🤣

frankly, I'm shocked that the guy who went broke running casinos would turn out to be shit at running an economy

Took this screenshot of a video. Placement of button is so apropos.

Watch this: the Federal Trade Commission was holding Amazon, Meta, and Tesla accountable. Then: - Amazon paid $40M for Melania's documentary - Meta gave Trump $25M - Musk gave Trump hundreds of millions Now Trump is trying to illegally fire FTC commissioners. Corruption.

Some recessions start because of a financial crisis (2008). Some start because of Fed tightening (1980). Some start because of some shock in the wider world. (2020). If we get a recession in 2025, however, it will be entirely because of stupid decisions by Trump and Musk.

Sign the petition to demand Mahmoud Khalil be immediately released and threats against his legal status be dropped! And call on members of Congress and university leaders to protect and defend the right for students to organize and protest. sign.moveon.org/petitions/fr...

One of these things is not like the other.

"Our farmers are going to have a field day right now. To our farmers, have a lot of fun." Fun isn't your family farm going out of business or your grocery prices being driven up. All because Trump sold out farmers for his friends at Mar-a-Lago.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

This isn't about Zelenskyy, a patriot and hero. This is about an American administration penetrated and compromised by America's enemies.

We apologize to our Ukrainian supporters. We are embarrassed by how our president and vice president have behaved. We are fighting to redeem the soul of America. 🇺🇸

Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦 ✊

Our allies just witnessed Vance and Trump beating up Zelensky in service of Putin. They realize that US is no longer a trusted ally but a potential enemy. They will unify to protect themselves. We will be further isolated.

Yay!! A federal judge in California sided with a coalition of unions, temporarily barring the Office of Personnel Management from ordering federal agencies to terminate probationary workers, stating that the firings were ‘illegal, should be stopped, and rescinded.’

President Trump’s simpering fealty to Vladimir Putin and Russia is embarrassing and dangerous. Illinois stands with Ukraine, and so should the White House.

There was a President in the Oval Office today. His name is Zelensky. He had to fend off two impotent barking dogs sent by Putin. They are named Trump and Vance.

Fealty to Donald Trump will not spare you from his cruelty. It's strength — not weakness — that curbs his baser instincts. Now is the time for us to be strong.

New Q & A is up! I answered questions about Trump and Russia, the "Krasnov" rumor, surviving a mafia state, the military purges and martial law, Musk's ambitions, and much more: sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/your-quest...

Every one dollar spent on medical debt buyback and relief programs erases approximately $170 in medical debt for patients.

This doesn’t exist and will literally save $0

Important: A *Republican* Congressman, Austin Scott, just wrote to Marco Rubio urging him to address the problems I reported on below that are putting lifesaving treatment for severely malnourished children abroad at risk. He joins Dem Rep Seth Magaziner. Horrific stuff:

Jasmine Crockett speaks for me (and multitudes, and oy, WATCH THE VIDEO!)

After Trump embraced crypto, Coinbase gave millions to PACs backing pro-Trump candidates. After Trump's win, they gave $1M to his inaugural and listed his meme coin. Now, Trump's SEC has dropped a major lawsuit against Coinbase. See how this works?

Q: how to 6x DOGE savings ($2.5b)? A: Cut subsidies to Tesla ($15b)

Good for these federal workers, concerned about the sabotage of a functioning, safe park, for us and for nature. www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/art...

Dear Dems. This is a reminder that Donald Trump rescinded the ethics rules preventing gifts to executive branch employees. Now would be a good time to propose legislation formalizing the prevention into a law Time to do things that make him react to you. apnews.com/article/trum...

6 in 10 Americans disapprove of billionaires’ profound influence over government policy. We must return political power to regular people. It’s time to overturn Citizens United, ban PAC and lobbyist spending, and ban members from ever becoming lobbyists.

I feel like what we are learning from this experience is that many working in government agencies have incredible integrity. They declined a buyout and resign when forced to do something incredibly unethical.

With Trump in full control of the GOP, I wrote about one state that stands out as an exception: Utah. Mormon voters - lifelong Republicans - are moving away from Trump, while center-right groups there are reasserting themselves & clashing w/the MAGA wing. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/u...

It seems to me that if Musk has proof that millions of social security checks have gone out illegally to dead people, he should be presenting that evidence in front of a grand jury under oath tomorrow instead of shitposting it on social media. When can we do this under oath?

I truly didn’t know there were so many people in my country advocating for fascism. If I leave my home country, a thought I’ve never had, where do I go? Truly open to suggestions.

Today’s rage. President Dumptruck and JD Minion are advocating for the return of Nazi Germany. Republicans are at best silent and at worst, in agreement. Let’s call it what it is, the Republican DOGE. They are breaking our park system, our healthcare system, our transportation system, etc.

For the first time in a while overdose deaths are declining - seven straight months of declines. The cause is complicated but appears to be the culmination of a number of different Biden admin policy initiatives coming to fruition. And yet it meant absolutely nothing politically.

This needs to be said, loud, and often.
