Calling Brad Karp …..

Howell drips with disdain for the firms who capitulated to the White House and says of those who resisted "will be the models lauded when this period of American history is written." ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show...

Way to go, Australia! Another anti-Trump blow against fascism and propaganda and for sanity, empathy, and democracy - following Canada, which followed Germany. Power belongs to the People. Money is NOT everything. Happiness matters. America must stop normalizing Trump. When they do, he goes down.

We live in a moment of great urgency and opportunity for Dems. But our nominal leaders aren't up to the challenge. Time for them to step aside or be moved aside so those who are actually leading can help save the country by seizing the moment. Waiting for Trump to self-destruct is not a strategy.

•People want change •People want someone who actually holds Republicans accountable •People want a fighter when the fight gets tough •People want someone who listens to us, not just lobbyists and consultants •People want someone who shows up—and means it •People want a leader who isn’t Chuck Schumer

I'm sorry to say this, because he's a good man who has served well, but every time Chuck Schumer tries to wax tough, he comes off poorly and same ol' same ol',and it's an opportunity cost and problem for Dems. His time - as an effective Party leader - has passed.

This approval number will be Trump’s ceiling. It only gets uglier from here—especially once folks start feeling the real cost of his billionaire budget and schizo tariff policy.

Fire and brimstone from the fourth circuit 🔥

Anna Bower@annabower.bsky.social

NEW: Fourth Circuit shoots down the Trump administration’s efforts to appeal Judge Xinis’s order requiring it to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. “We shall not micromanage the efforts of a fine district judge attempting to implement the Supreme Court’s recent decision.”

Many of us have heard of Occam's Razor. It is a principle which states that the simplest explanation to a problem is often correct. An explanation is simpler if it involves fewer suppositions. According to Occam's Razor, Donald Trump is a compromised Russian asset.

Convicted Felon Donald Trump is working towards an autocracy, with the help of Muskolini and feckless Republicans who are too scared of a primary challenge to stand up and do the right thing. Grow a spine, Rs! #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FuckTrump talkingpointsmemo.com/news/exclusi...

I tried to post a substack article listing media publications that did a good job of fact-checking and investigative journalism. Facebook blocked my post saying it didn't meet community standards. How could a list of fact-checked media publications violate community standards?

Many Americans say the same thing: It’s not that bad yet. We’ll wait until someone makes the first move then join in. I’m too old. I have to work. I have school. I’m sick. I’m too young. I don’t want to get in trouble. I’m sure our government will sort it out any day now. Someone else will do it./

They’re counting on us to be too scared to come together and take back our government before they take out us. They know we are too scared of each other and police and Trump to do anything. And the whole world sees us too scared.

Are we a nation of cowards? Are we spoiled by generations when we didn’t have to fight in a war? When it was a choice? Are we too comfortable OR too conformed? Are we already indoctrinated to believe so much in our government that we don’t get involved and think they’ll solve it for us? /

The stock market has lost $4 TRILLION In the last month due to Trump’s disastrous tariff plans Plus the jobs numbers were equally terrible The price of eggs keeps going up And the GOP is STILL threatening to cut Medicaid by $880 billion so they can give tax breaks to billionaires

Don’t worry; the inflation may wind up being moderated by a massive recession caused by tariffs and random government spending cuts and uncertainty caused by domestic and international turmoil

Alex גדעון בן װעלװל@jewishwonk.bsky.social

Tariffs+tax cuts+lowering interest rates = higher prices for consumers, better known as inflation. If you thought it was bad from the Covid inflation, you ain't seen nothing yet, because this one is self-inflicted by fools.

The plan is to make Zelenskyy give in, look like a punk by caving, and then abandon him anyway. Then, his ability to inspire the free world is neutered. There are no good options, but Zelensky knows- and every democracy must figure out- that the worst option begins by caving.
