So… all these smart business people assumed he wasn’t going to do what he said he was going to do.
Then he did it, and we are now stuck in his “find out” phase.
Reckon y’all better start thinking RIGHT NOW about that “3rd term” crap.
He is not lying… he’s scheming.

@wyden.senate.gov Please make the point that Social Security money is OUR money that has been deducted from our pay over our entire working life. We deserve to get it all back, as promised. Anything less is theft.

If you work at a media outlet — especially if you own or run one — this is a point you really need to think very deeply about. And not just for me or anyone else, but for you. Because getting this wrong may mean the end of your profession and career as you’ve known it. From @jvl.bsky.social

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

This whole DO(d)Gy invasion has a lot of "Independence Day" vibes. Alien + minions systematically taking over agency after agency trying to destroy each along the way in order to capture the resources for themselves. In order to fight back, agencies are using "low-tech" resources like... THE LAW!

If the President doesn’t want the job he has, that’s fine (and frankly better for us), but he just doesn’t get to outsource it to a random billionaire from South Africa.

Dear DNC, DSCC, and DCCC:
I don't want to see another fundraising text or email asking for a dollar of mine until I see an actual plan to meet this moment.
Y'all had 11 weeks between the election and inauguration, and there's still no plan. There's no excuse for that.
No plan, no donation.

The “read only” bullshit was always a lie. A child has control of all of our payment information and a fifth of the US economy. This is a coup.

The world’s richest man—who was neither born here in America nor elected to any government office—has illegally hijacked our treasury and is cutting off aid to poor people.
If Dems can’t use this messaging to pull people to their side then the party should cease to exist.

Chef José Andrés announced today that he submitted his resignation as co-chair of the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness, and Nutrition last week because his two year term was up.
But Donald Trump is trying to say he fired him.
Pretty shameful Donald would even want to pretend fire him at all.
