While you’re cancelling your Disney and Hulu subscriptions, don’t forget to cancel Disney vacations.
Their theme parks and cruise ships make a ton of money.
Boycott Disney and you can boycott Florida at the same time!

In April, we took to the streets for the biggest day of civic protest in years.
No Kings Day on June 14 is going to be even bigger, with more events in more places to reject Trump’s authoritarianism.

This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”.

A basic rule of thumb is that you really don't want the Wall Street Journal to have headlines referring to the Great Depression.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster.

If you worked for 18F and got fired, Group together to start a consulting company.
It’s just a matter of time before DOGE needs you to fix the mess they inevitably create.
They will have to hire your company as a contractor to fix it. But on your terms.
I’m happy to invest and/or help

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

The Brad Pitt segment made me a little sick. This administration is doing everything they can to undermine the concept of unity, the power of diversity, etc. Trump is against everything that the spot is about. And he’s in attendance.
