New in PN: Trump's hopeless tariffs confusion, explained by a historian
“He wants the society of the '50s with the policies of the 1890s. But you literally don’t get the society of the '50s without a comprehensive rejection of the policies of the 1890s, even by Republicans." - @rauchway.bsky.social

"The president seems to believe he can impose prohibitively high tariffs *and* collect revenue, which you can’t do."

Capitalism, greed, and consumerism ruined this country.
It brainwashed the population into valuing property and “things” more than human life and society.
Fuck the oligarchy and fuck your late stage capitalism.

I truly believe that someday, a lot of people involved in what’s going on now will face consequences and justice.
What saddens me is that the man who started it all, and is at the center of everything (Donald) will be long dead and will have left the mess for everyone else to clean up.

I did a side by side for everyone to see. The U.S. is on the wrong side of history and Noem better be prepared for the consequences of that.

“Does the Trump Administration think the American people are stupid?!”
My brothers & sisters, they KNOW the American people are stupid. That’s how the asshole got elected for a second time.
So many people I know are getting played, and also cheering it all on at the same time.

Republican politicians want you to think that if you have an education, you’re an “out of touch elite”, and that billionaires are on the side of the regular folks.

Voters are going to blame democrats no matter what happens here.
The media will blame democrats no matter what happens here.
At least be on the right side of history and let facts be on our side.
The job is to get the messaging right. Not to cave to their messaging.

Republicans left us two foul choices intended to harm Americans and give the powers of Congress to Trump and Musk.
I’ll be voting NO on this fake CR.
We must focus our energy on the dangers of the MAGA Republican government which gave us this false choice.

Let’s go. Shut this thing down.
Extraordinary moment — Nancy Pelosi issues a statement calling on Democratic senators to reject the House funding bill, i.e. to defy Chuck Schumer.
"Democratic senators should listen to the women," she says, referring to Murray/DeLauro who want a 1-month stopgap bill instead.

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social FYI I would by a t-shirt that days “Chris is right…. But Stephanie isn’t wrong.” I often have this opinion on your conversations.
Also, I’m going to buy a “Chris is Right” shirt, because my name is Chris, and people just need to know I’m right.

It’s not like we’re going to have a real election in 2018 (or 2026 for that matter), but I’m officially crossing this man off my list.
(He was fairly low on that list already, but, I’ve seen enough).
(He was fairly low on that list already, but, I’ve seen enough).
I was someone praising Newsom for having some fighting spirit in him last year - eg vs DeSantis - but can’t really take him seriously after this, especially as he seems not to have pushed back on Kirk on a number of issues.
Just fucking kill me already

@stephaniemiller.bsky.social! I loved the interview with Joe Jacobson. Some of my favorite moments of your show is when you and Chris have your semi-disagreements, so it was great that you had Joe on. We do need to meet the young GenZ bros where they are, but without the misogyny. Great segment.

Government waste is using taxpayer dollars to make all these photoshop posters for his nonsense remarks.

The whole point is to to show us how the billionaires view us.
The arts aren’t important because when it comes to us non-rich people, our sole purpose is to work our lives away at their companies.
That’s it.
This is why they want more babies. More workers.

It’s astounding to me that MAGA all said they’re voting Trump because of the economy.
Since Trump’s been in office, people are losing their jobs, prices are increasing and inflation is up.
MAGA is cheering.
All they want is to own the libs.
That’s the only issue they vote on.

@jodyhamilton.bsky.social My kids and I love Henry Danger (we’re steaming it again currently) and Schwoz (Micheal C Cohen) is probably all of our favorite character. And I LOVED your story this week on @bobcesca.bsky.social. Huge respect to your friend, and I love the actor even more now.
