Truly. I'm thinking one small and entirely legal act of resistance would be for all of us to file for an extension on our income taxes. Literally swamp the system. We'll see how much they like elimination when they're desperate for middle-class revenues to pay for the tax cuts to Elon & cronies

Zelensky is only half-right. The American people are still committed to our alliance with Europe, and specifically Ukraine. The US -- like Europe -- is under attack from Russia and has been partially captured by Russian collaborators. But we will defeat them.

DOJ correction notice this p.m. in the case re: USAID personnel moves/funding freeze: that as of Friday's hearing, 2000+ employees had been placed on leave, not 500, and that payments on current contracts had been frozen, not just future ones; lawyers say they got incorrect info

Another reason to ❤️ Costco. While Target and others cancel diversity to appease Trump, Costco’s investing in the community—building apartments above its stores, starting in LA. This $425M project includes 184 low-income units, with key services, plus a rooftop pool and fitness center.

Your honor, I tried, REALLY REALLY HARD to pay my taxes this year. But first the IRS site redirected me to the latest catturd post on Twitter, and then my confirmation showed the payment had been deposited into a Coinbase account under the name “KingElonDaGoatlolz2025”.

So Trump is going to allow foreign companies to bypass regulations giving them a competitive advantage if they invest a billion dollars in starting a business in US, but a smaller American business or startup trying to compete with that foreign business has to comply with them?

The failures of the Democratic Party are many, but the incestuous relationship between its strategists and corporate donors has played a huge role in moving the party to the Right and alienating the electorate. Things need to change in a big, big way. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/giving-the...
