when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

It's not just about Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

It's about due process and the rule of law in our nation.

Trump tariffed every country, even penguins, but not Russia.

He said it’s because he’s negotiating the wars end. But he DID tariff Ukraine.

Hmmm

Democrats should be leveraging the 250th, especially next year's Independence Day anniversary, for the midterm elections. The language of resistance, rights, and freedom is tailor-made for the present moment. Embrace it!

So the White House story is now:

“We didn’t mean to threaten Harvard, because we didn’t mean to send the threatening letter we sent, but when Harvard rejected the threats we made but didn’t mean to make, we decided to threaten them twice more.”

The country is now run by thugs and idiots.
Trump Officials Blame Mistake for Setting Off Confrontation With Harvard
An official on the administration’s antisemitism task force told the university that a letter of demands had been sent without authorization.

I am for every day all of us turning our first focus on fascism (or, if you prefer, authoritarianism) itself. They are attacking and gaining ground on countless fronts. Time spent arguing with those with whom one could be in coalition is time fascism uses to seize more territory.

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

I don’t think people are paying enough attention to the fact that the North Carolina court of appeals just ruled that 65,000 votes don’t count, and that the Republican Supreme Court candidate who lost actually won.

This will be appealed, but make no mistake: they’re trying to steal this election.

Every retailer in America should display the original price of an item along with the new tariffed price.

Let it sink in for the slowest in the herd.

Tariffs are a tax.

You're paying for them.

As long as I live, I will never understand why they would rather elect a singularly worthless white rapist as president than an exceptionally impressive black woman.

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved.

* very unconstitutional

Don't let up on Signalgate.

The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice.

The entire discussion is fait accompli.

Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates.

Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy.

Third time’s the charm, I guess.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Nearly every Republican in the Senate voted to overturn a Biden Admin rule that limited bank overdraft fees to $5.

This rule, initially established by the now gutted CFPB, was expected to save consumers $5 billion annually.

The GOP is the party of junk fees.
