If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

There are some great indie journos on the ground in Chicago with up-to-date information as it happens.

Imagine being this hateful. Florida should spend more money on its education system and less on trying to marginalize those who are marginalized.

This morning I broke down the promise of 50 Billion to Rural Communities to aid in the cuts to Medicaid. 4 Million to each State per year for the next 5 years. That won’t buy bandaids.

My brother in Christ, this looks like it will be one for the books... www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Here’s one free, public critical thinking course that’s a bit longer than the other one that I shared for Feds, but it’s available via podcast/audio and video (YouTube): I have not gone through it myself.

The Regimes numbers are tanking. What better time to start a war?

People who are immigrants belong in our communities, not detention.

No Kings

ChatGPT weighs in: America still calls itself a democracy. Reality disagrees.

I’ll also note that there does not appear to be an ECF 105 on the docket atm. Skips from 104 (apparently, government’s motion to stay discovery) to ECF 106 (Judge Xinis’s order denying the motion).

Watch this before you eat that chicken dinner. 😬🐔

My first Saturday morning coffee on my deck this season 😎☕️

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Tampa is standing up for Democracy.

Like wtf are we doing, guys. How is this our country 😞

Which of the 12 steps involves sharing classified information?

A time for ‘a look inward’, if ever there was one…👇 Thanks Canada, for a reminder that needs to be said, out loud! Introspection. Defined. ✨

The sooner everyone realizes that Musk, Voight and Miller are running things maybe we can actually combat this insanity. Trump is the megaphone. The real evil is our complacency. No one is coming to save us.

This is a hostile takeover of the federal government by a private citizen of unlimited means with no restrictions and no transparency. Welcome to the Deep State www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

My heart is breaking right now for all who are going thru the hell of losing loved ones involved in the DC crash. Thank you to everyone in DC who are putting theirselves into dangerous situations to help. A hearty FU to the current squatters in the People’s House!

Tucked into a long list of programs and tax breaks that Republican lawmakers are considering cutting, to help pay for extending tax cuts that largely benefit wealthier families is a proposal to make scholarships and grants fully taxable. More in @forbes.com from me. www.forbes.com/sites/edward...

Friends. Tend our gardens. Have the conversations. Watch over each other. It’s really important. Especially right now.

This is heartbreaking. Cecile Richards did such important and impactful work, and I admired her so much.

A reminder Monday that there will be an avalanche of executive orders. Mass deportations will start. Meanwhile, the House and Senate will try to ram through a bunch of bad bills. Do not get lost in a sea of despair. That is what they want. Prepare yourselves now.

in a world of Donald Trumps, be a Jimmy Carter
