The Federal Reserve must remain independent from political pressure.
Firing Jerome Powell to install a loyalist would be a reckless decision that carries enormous consequences for our economy.

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.

Rep. Don Bacon (R-NE) has a bill to return tariff authority to Congress. If it were to pass, the purposeless tariffs would end. Speaker Johnson is blocking it. Call your member of Congress, R or D, & urge a discharge petition on the bill, which forces a vote.

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.
The Trump Administration Accidentally Texted Me Its War Plans
U.S. national-security leaders included me in a group chat about upcoming military strikes in Yemen. I didn’t think it could be real. Then the bombs started falling.

I'd like to live in a version of this country where A. The 2028 election actually happens bc we haven't descended fully into a fascist dictatorship by then and B. The winning ticket is some combo of @aoc.bsky.social and @repjasmine.bsky.social. This is it. The final shred of optimism I have left.

We will never know— we will never have the faintest idea— how much money is getting made in insider trading windfalls from people in Trump's and Musk's circles who have an hour of notice about the daily swings in tariff policy or the occasional announced *expectations* of such swings.

🚨 UPDATE: After humiliating the U.S. on the world stage, Trump just jetted off to Florida—to golf.
He’s now spent 35% of his presidency on vacation, burning through $20M+ in taxpayer dollars. The laziest "president" in U.S. history.

Elon, I hate to break it to you but you aren’t my boss. I answer to the people of Minnesota.
But since you bring it up, I spent last week fighting to stop tax breaks for billionaires like you, paid for by defunding health care for moms and babies
