Members of Congress should never be allowed to trade stocks. Period.

“With Trump’s extraordinary tariffs now threatening the global economy, some of those who once cheered on his dictatorial impulses are now recalling the checks and balances they were previously willing to undermine.” open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Trump’s view on trade deficits is like getting mad at Target because you spend money there but they never buy anything from you. It’s just complete brain dead nonsense.

Trump’s tariffs aren’t an economic policy—they’re a protection racket. He’s turning the US into a mafia state that shakes people down, plunders our tax dollars to enrich his billionaire oligarch friends, and punishes his political opponents.

Are eggs cheaper yet? Is the war in Ukraine over? Did we acquire Greenland? Is the stock market up? Did we win the trade war? Did DOGE fix anything? Trump sucks

@daveshumka.bsky.social Just listened to the latest SPY boco. I’m an American and I love deep Canadian content. It’s fascinating to me that certain things can be so popular in Canada yet totally obscure here. You and Graham truly are the kings of boco.

I helped build a government AI system. DOGE fired me, rolled the AI out to the whole agency, and implied the AI can do my job and the jobs of the others they've fired. It can't. But, what DOGE accidentally revealed about themselves in the process is fascinating. 🧵

*rubs hands together* Go git ‘em, forensic accountants. Find that waste, fraud, and abuse.

The GOP budget act doesn’t just gut critical programs—it guts Congress itself. These feckless cowards have abandoned the power of the purse, a cornerstone of democracy, and turned Congress into a rubber stamp for an all-powerful executive. 2/3

1/🧵 Judges across ideological lines are ruling against Trump at strikingly similar rates (84% liberal, 86% centrist, 82% conservative). This isn't partisan opposition to Trump—it's the judiciary functioning as intended by cutting across partisan lines to uphold the Constitution.

Listen, I don’t think every dude who loves Trump preys on children. Just the ones you’ve heard of.

The touchstone of most authoritarian regimes is not the kind of total control that most people feel in their day-to-day lives. It is that the regime is only selectively bound by law, producing constant low-grade anxiety as to whether, how, or against whom power will be exercised.

It's not about efficiency. This administration wants to dismantle the federal government and democracy. @nerdreich.bsky.social has written a lot about the tech bro ideology that informs much of what this administration is doing, and it is fucking terrifying. www.thenerdreich.com/trumps-anti-...

For anyone living in NC-6, Rep. Addison McDowell is holding a telephone town hall on Tuesday 3/18/2025 at 2:00 PM EDT. If you want to participate, call his office at 202-225-3065 and ask to be added to the participant list. As far as I can tell, this is the only way to participate.

Congratulations to @schumer.senate.gov and the others who just played into the hands of an insane dictator who just said it's illegal for cnn and msnbc to criticize him

We as a country will never come back from this if the next administration (if there is one) doesn't imprison every single one of these goons for their corruption. Fuck "forgiveness." Fuck "moving on." These fuckers need to rot in prison.

It's blatant and overt. Trump is selling the USG off for parts and Musk is reaping the profits.

When I talk to folks who don't keep up with every news story, and I explain what Republicans are trying to do to block married women from voting, they think I've lost it. I sound like I need a tinfoil hat and that's exactly what they want. Just like Russian collusion, if we drop it, they win.

I think people are extremely on edge, and horrified by how quickly society has slipped into this banal techno-fascism, and scared about how far it will go, and that makes people brittle and impatient, and if I were a better person I would extend grace to people because of that, but, you know, I’m me

I was really disappointed to see @repmarcykaptur.bsky.social voted to censure Rep. Green after Tuesday's joint address. These are not normal times. All Democrats need to start acting like a true opposition party, or we are sunk. We can't turn on our own simply for being rude to Donald Trump.
