As a man who fixed his career as a reality TV star, Trump learned that the key for him is the story you show your audience, and the truth doesn't much matter
This terrific piece shows that this principle animated Trump's trade deal with Europe

Striking stuff from @pkrugman.bsky.social, who dismantles Trump's Europe deal from top to bottom. It will actually undermine US manufacturing, the "concessions" Trump won are fake, and Trump voters will be hit hard by the tariffs.

With regard to municipal elections what is your best, respectful response to friends and family who say things like, “My vote doesn’t matter.”, or “I’m not political.”, or “I don’t have time.”, or . . . you get the idea.

Shutting down the Job Corps, as the Dept of Labor is trying to do, is cruel & stupid. It hurts CT’s young people like Troy & Nahjayiah who are trying to develop the skills our economy needs & it undermines local businesses. We won’t stop fighting to protect the Job Corps.

Today, on its 90th anniversary, it’s important that we recommit ourselves to the spirit of the National Labor Relations Act: protecting workers’ rights and supporting collective bargaining. We will always be in workers’ corner and keep up the fight in Congress.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.
They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.
Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.
Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

Whether or not you support the budget betrayal is not a Democratic or Republican issue. It's a moral issue.
It's a question of whether you want to leave behind a better world for your children and grandchildren.
I do, so I'm voting HELL NO.

Listening to constituents, as I’ve done, the House should say NO to Trump’s Big Blatant Betrayal. It hurts millions—slashing health care, food assistance, & much more, all to give tax breaks to billionaires. Senate Republicans made the House’s bad bill even worse. Reject it.
