This is not just about Trump’s personal issues with Ilhan Omar or people of Somali descent or Minnesota. That is all just a bonus for him. This is the high-profile “kick off” to the next phase of racist immigration actions…denaturalizing U.S. citizens.

Alex Karp, CEO of Plantir, yelling about billionaires being punished through higher taxes is amazing. You are not a victim. You are greedy and feel entitled.

Intimidation is the point here. both Georgia Fort and Don Lemon are independent journalists, and both are black.

And there is very little reporting in the MSM on either assault.

He seems to “hear” a lot of things that aren’t true. He sounds like a gossip. “Did you hear…? Well I heard that …Who did you hear that from? Well you know who did that? I did that!”

And she plans to run for Governor. Minnesota, she is not working for you. You know what to do. Vote her out!

I wish there were more discussion about this in the news.

And its mission? I didn’t go to C of I but I do have a liberal arts degree. I was once asked “what that hell are you going to do with that?” I am recently retired & very proud of what I did with “that”. - 2012 ID Women of the Year Honoree, ID Business Review. (And other things) #LiberalArtsMatter

So...he only supports the resolution because he believes it will shut the Democrats up. Not because he believes child rapists should be exposed and charged. Not because he believes that people who were victimized as children should get justice. #ReleaseTheFiles

Some sports gamblers are trying to predict WNBA players’ performance—and the outcomes of games—based on the athletes’ periods. One betting content creator has dubbed it “blood money." www.wired.com/story/men-ar...

Another example of Dem leaders abandoning their constituents, hoping to curry favor from Republicans & funders. Placing the life of a misogynistic, homophobic racist on a pedestal is a losing move. It’s self-serving & disrespectful. They’ve lost focus. www.govtrack.us/congress/vot...

Ahhh. That’s why.

Brendan Carr pretty much admitted on Squawk this morning that the FCC is operating outside of its scope and putting its thumb on views available on broadcast stations. Who has access primary to broadcast? Also, FCC should not care whether a show is profitable. Not its job.

This “rebrand” is unnecessary & expensive. Signage, letterhead, business cards, maps, recruitment materials, websites, new photos, etc. And if it ends up in court…Funds better used for food, housing, & medicine. All in an effort to feed one man’s ego at the expense of a nation.

RFK claims that CDCs Office on Smoking & Health has not addressed vaping in youth. Shows his lack of knowledge. Look at FDA regulations & the money behind big tobacco lobbyists, locally & nationally. We've been down this road before w/tobacco. Follow the money. Who gets $$$ & how do they vote?

A move to make it harder for people w/disabilities to get a job. Republicans say they want people to “pull themselves up by their bootstraps” while they cut the bootstraps off. Why go to school? Ahh. That’s the point. Education for the few. Success for the few. Everyone else is disposable.

The cruelty & absolute disregard for humanity. They would rather waste the money & the food, letting people starve, then admit they were wrong. DODGE was reckless & the consequences were not considered. Even easier for them because the people being denied food are brown. American Exceptionalism.

RIP Sly Stone. Thank you for sharing the funk and soul, and those powerful lyrics. #soundtrackofmyyouth youtu.be/ihiqyTMcbPg?...

I’m wondering how many kids grow up with 30 dolls? #Donny2Dolls

So do republicans, the party of supposedly traditional values, realize that women will no longer take a man’s surname if they get married? So that their name always matches their birth certificate, for voting purposes. Just thinking about the future.

Has anyone seen a chart comparing our trade deficit with all countries and the new tariffs? (Who is excluded from tariffs). Or a chart of actual tariffs imposed on the USA compared with new tariffs. I know this data is industry dependent so not straightforward. Looking for the data. TIA #tariffs

This is horrific. It’s not surprising that Trump has cut funding for this vital project. He has his own history of separating families at the border, with no tracking of the children. I expect there will be more www.splcenter.org/resources/st...

No one should be writing and releasing a book while serving in an elected position. Focus on the job the people elected you to do. Not padding your bank account.

This is in part, a warped retaliation for renaming bases & removing statues of confederate generals. It is, also, a real attempt to remove traces of any achievements by veterans who are black or brown , female, gay, transgender or living w/a disability. Combine this w/control of libraries & schools…

This is what a beautiful marriage looks like. Adults who love each other & want to build a life together, who are committed to & care for each other. Why would we ever deny any couple the chance to marry & enjoy the rights & recognition that come w/it? #idleg www.idahostatesman.com/news/politic...

All of the Super Bowl advertisers looking for that day after buzz...Damn. Kendrick Lamar. I do remember the NFL girl's flag football ad tho'.

Listening to the hearing on HJM1, Idaho's effort to invalidate same sex marriage. Heather Scott stated she does not believe marriage is a right. She stated that it's not the Feds job to say what is legal in Idaho. However, there are many state and federal benefits that married couples receive.

A list of revoked Executive Orders. These actions were well planned and happening fast! We need to be diligent in tracking. There will be a lot of noise to distract.

On the same day that Cecile Richards dies (former president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America) our new administration takes down the government Reproductive Healthcare website. A double whammy. They have their targets and they didn't waste any time.

80 year old Leonard Peltier is going home! ictnews.org/news/leonard...

This is huge! Anyone who’s experienced a health emergency knows that so many bills come. It’s easy to miss a payment, affecting your credit score. Low credit can impact a person’s approval to rent a home, own a car or even get a job making it hard to get back on your feet. Thank you Biden-Harris!

Idaho legislature giving us a disgusting look at what to expect with this session opener. And the two dems that voted for this? Misguided does not even begin to describe their shit. And one of them “represents” my district. Not hardly. www.boisestatepublicradio.org/politics-gov...

It’s wild that the people who told the Chicks & other musicians & actors to stay in their “lane” & out of politics are probably the same people who voted for a shallow TV personality for president.

This. It’s not a preschool playground where everyone waits for their turn.

Awww 🥰

And the new era begins. My Substack is alive again, and here's my first post paulkrugman.substack.com/p/the-fraudu...
