Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Hakeem u have 1 job, attack Johnson. Isolate him as a failed house leader who has tossed the constitution in the garbage & put America at risk. Harass the GOP congress for failing their constituents. Every other message is a distraction. Stay on message. Be effective

This hasn’t aged well

“What happened? You helped elect Donald Trump you fucking moron” - @timmiller.bsky.social

The Daily Show uploaded a video showing Fox News attacking Obama for golfing, but replaced him with Trump. Epic!

Trump’s “Liberation Day” Tariffs are designed to liberate Americans from their hard-earned cash and will: - Make groceries more expensive - Crash markets and retirements - And make it harder to build and make things in America. How do we know? Anyone…anyone? Because, we know. The chaos must end.

Anyone have any idea how many students loan holders this impacts ? www.kvue.com/article/news...

@aoc.bsky.social I hope you and Bernie are heading to Wisconsin where Musk is interfering with State elections. Beat him where it counts.

Congrats to all the mainstream media folks who bought the Trump spin about not being associated with Project 2025. Zeteo.com/subscribe

@amyklobuchar.com Yesterday Musk on Fox said that Dems are protecting SS because that’s how they get Illegal Immigrants to vote for them. Illegal Immigrants don’t vote, but are net contributors to SS. Dems should be on every medium today asking why Musk is lying to Americans.

Ketamine??

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

MAGA are mad at Zelenskyy for not wearing a suit for an official White House meeting. Meanwhile:

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump supporters spent the past few years obsessing over an apparent sex trafficking cabal in charge of our country. And yet one of the first things Trump seems to have done, apparently, is push to get the Tates, charged with sex trafficking, released from Romania.

Apparently, the Ebola prevention efforts Elon Musk said he “accidentally” canceled are …still canceled. The chaos continues. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“More than a quarter of the contracts listed by DOGE were actually already paid, the Journal found, saving no money. For instance, DOGE listed $168,000 in savings for terminating a contract with HHS for an Anthony Fauci museum exhibit. It had already been fully paid.” Beyond parody.

@andrewrsorkin.bsky.social Andrew since you’re on a financial show I would like you to explain how DOGE could distribute $5,000 to every American. Or better ask Kernen to do the math. Spoiler if u gave $5k to 200 million people that would be $1 trillion.

@cnn.com Here’s how CNN fails us. What is $50 billion divided by 330 million, about $150 not $5000. What is $4.5 trillion divided by 330 million about $13,000 for every American.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State. H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

@jimcram.bsky.social Jim how much work have you done ti understand the ROI of the DOGE cuts. I believe NIH for every $1 spent returns $2 in future revenue. Or investing in Tax collection has a high ROI. How deep is your research or are you just winging it.

@jimcram.bsky.social How can companies in Mexico have the capacity to dump steel (sell at a loss) and American companies are unable to respond to protect their markets.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Hakeem here are simple messages. “They haven’t found fraud, they’re just gutting programs they disagree with” & “If they have nothing to hide, why are they hiding what they’re up to, Americans want transparency & DOGE is a smokescreen for Musk to favour himself & Trump”

Jeffries: "They have no interest in improving the quality of life of hard-working American taxpayers. Instead, what they're trying to do, while they distract people, is to jam the GOP tax scam down the throats of people ... it's a toxic bait and switch."

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests.” -FDR, 1941

If you’ve already started calling it the Gulf of America instead of the Gulf of Mexico, you should have no trouble with someone’s preferred name and pronouns.

Federal employee with a data role told me that a document was removed from employee access because it had the word "inclusion" in it. As in, "inclusion of data in our estimates."

I got taxed more than $0. Anybody else?

This is the most relevant article to NIH and research cuts I’ve seen. Imagine if this was today , how many people would be saying “Why are we studying Gila Monsters and their impact on diabetes ? That’s wasted money !” globalnews.ca/news/9793403...

@amyklobuchar.com Amy congratulations. You’ve earned it. Now pls listen to the people who believe in you. Dems appear inept. & weak. You, yes you must gain support to remove Schumer. And your posts do not convey a sense of urgency or a call to action. Give AOC a call.

@amyklobuchar.com Amy words matter. “Elon Musk is involved in the illegal surveillance & theft of the protected personal information of Americans”. “These crimes exist both at the Federal & State level.” “We intend to see justice served for these flagrant violations of our freedom to privacy”.

When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here. Take inspiration from it.

@jimacosta.bsky.social Jim I have an ask. Holding the GOP accountable is a lost cause. Go Look at Schumer’ bsky feed. He’s not the man for these times Dems are tearing their hair out. Change is desperately needed. Can you shine a light on this. If Dems need to revamp the team or it’s Biden II.

@amyklobuchar.com @schumer.senate.gov @chrismurphyct.bsky.social @jimacosta.bsky.social The US is in a full blown constitutional crisis & Dem leadership as did Biden continues to operate as if all is normal. It’s not. Dems must oppose everything until order is restored. And Schumer must step aside

Donald Trump... ✅ Boots FAA chief ✅ Freezes hiring of already short-handed air traffic control personnel ✅ Offers to “buyout” federal workers ✅ Guts key aviation security advisory group And when one of our busiest airports is understaffed he has the nerve to blame wokeness?

@schumer.senate.gov Dear Chuck,I understand you think that taxpayers should fund AI. The notion that American tech companies lack the resources to fund AI which will generate trillions is beyond naive. They don’t need handouts at the expense of workers. Pls step aside you’ve done enough damage.

Just a little reminder of what happened on January 6, 2021

"What other conspiracy theories will Kash Patel subscribe to, and who will be targeted as a result? Because of the power of the FBI, that question should concern us all."

@jimcram.bsky.social If tariffs are offset by currency manipulation then what’s the point of tariffs. And if tariffs result in countervailing tariffs how does that help American exporters. And what happened to reigning in China. You guys are doing acrobatics to square this circle.

@jimcram.bsky.social To watch Jim gush over tax cuts, without any empirical evidence that they’ve delivered the promised growth, and normalize Trump using threats against tech CEOs, is a sad day for clear eyed investment advice. Dems should take names. The cockiness is astonishing.
