Trump has now refunded $128 billion dollars from his tariffs to corporations. Tariffs he created, made Americans pay for, and then returned right back to his donors. We paid, and his friends cashed in.

It’s 92 degrees in LA, and my solar panels are running my AC, charging a car, and filling up a home back-up battery—all while kicking energy back to the power company so the grid doesn’t overload. It is so goddamn simple.

Pete Hegseth wants to remake America's military into his idea of "biblical masculinity." Just look at his mentor, Doug Wilson.

Everybody who wants a fairer world is in. Let’s keep it, and the majority of ourselves, together.

People are falling for the DSA vs Establishment trap again. Didn’t we learn our lesson in 2016 and 2024? It’s the establishment’s job to build a coalition that can win EVERYWHERE. In some places, that means ultra-progressive. In others, it means establishment. The tent is big enough for all of us.

I want to live inside then promise of this man.

Broken swing sets? Missing basketball nets? Have no fear, Renew Crew is here. Neighborhood parks are meant for recreation — not frustration. If it’s broken, this crew will fix it. If it’s run-down, they’ll renew it. Renew Crew: Coming soon to a park near you.

Delighted to be reminded of this!

We & the media are NOT talking enough about how a Florida grand jury found that $10 million was funneled from a settlement intended to benefit Florida taxpayers to Ron DeSantis’s wife’s illegitimate “charity” (that never registered with the IRS), where it was laundered before it got to the FLA GOP.

It is not healthy to be filled with so much hate.

Mark Zuckerberg built a massive data center in Georgia just hundreds of yards from people’s homes. Now the water pressure is gone. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are routine.

🔥OpEd: “In AZ today, two state decisions operating side by side present a stark moral & financial paradox: we have made it effortless for high-income families to access subsidies for private education, while constructing bureaucratic mazes that deprives low-income families of basic food assistance.”

Food experts say that Taylor Farms iceberg lettuce can give you cyclosporiasis. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and drives around with dead bear cubs in his car says it can cure COVID. For busy eaters, it can be hard to know who to trust.

“Don’t worry, Pete. That little speech I read was just for the voters back home. I have to put on these little shows to convince them I’m independent. You will get the $1.5 trillion for your wars even though I just gave ICE unlimited funding to run wild. We’ll just borrow more.”

You might get sick of hearing this but if he keeps doing it I'm gonna keep saying it: this is an unconstitutional impoundment, violating both Congress' Article I spending authority and the 1974 Impoundment Control act, and immediately impeachable.

This is key. Especially here in Flagstaff (although, to be fair, make it fair everywhere).

📌The NYT Editorial Board is actually out with something I agree with today, and EVERY Democrat should be banging this drum, EVERYWHERE. After 50 years of absurd tax breaks and skyrocketing incomes, it is time the rich starting paying their fair share. PERIOD.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Whether it's Donald Trump giving $5 million to a woman he raped or Joe Biden giving a $10 to a cashier for a pint of Jeni's, both candidates have had some unusual expenditures.

AOC on Susan Collins touting the money she got for body cameras and ICE training in the DHS bill. “Senator Collins wrote the blank check to allow these officers to conduct themselves in the way that they have in Maine in the first place, and she's the one who's poured resources into it.”

Schiff: The judge, in that decision on Monday, referred Blanche, basically, to the New York Bar Association because of his conduct. How is it possible that after being referred to the bar association for potential discipline on Monday, we’re contemplating this guy for attorney general on Wednesday?

Thank you @pingree.house.gov for sharing details about the senseless ICE killing in Maine this morning.

ICE shot and killed Joan Sebasatian Guerrero at 7:15 AM. His three-year-old daughter will never see her dad again. It took DHS 12 HOURS to release a statement. They claim the officer shot Joan out of fear for "public safety"—NOT his own life. Everything about ICE’s conduct is unconscionable.
