Today the Treasury posted the February 2025 state of the deficit. The problem is that we don’t collect enough revenue from Corporations or the very wealthy.

You are not powerless, and he is not unstoppable. Look at, and learn from, the funding freeze and how quickly he was forced to surrender.

What do they think happens to civil rights lawyers & activists? It just amazes me.
Gillibrand on WNYC today said one reason they're all falling in line is that they get death threats.
cassidy changing his tune after what he said on the senate floor is what has upgraded my position from "they are being bribed" or "they are worried about primary challenges" to "they are worried about being murdered"

“The job of law enforcement has never been harder.”
As fans pour into New Orleans for the Super Bowl, city officials have tried to find workarounds to a state law that lets adults carry a gun without a permit or training. The law means police can’t check to see if people are legally armed.

Coolers Are Banned Near This Year’s Super Bowl. Guns? They’re OK
New Orleans is one of many cities hamstrung by state legislatures hostile to gun regulation. Local police and officials have tried to find workarounds.

I love how the same idiot trumpers who literally blamed egg prices on Biden, and bragged that trump was going to magically bring them down, are all backtracking and saying he CAN'T do anything about egg prices.
And eggs are just the beginning.
YOU voted for this bullshit.

The USAF removed Tuskegee Airmen & Women Airforce Service Pilots of WWII from basic training curriculum. For 30 years I promised these women I would not let them ever be forgotten again. We worked for decades to have them remembered. The Airmen too. Knowledge is power. 🗃️ www.msn.com/en-us/societ...

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance.
Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

NEW: We just released our 2025 Gun Law Rankings and the data is clear—fewer people are killed with guns in states with stronger gun laws. In fact, states with the weakest gun safety laws have a gun violence rate 2.5 times higher than states with the strongest laws.

Arkansas defunded public schools to send homeschoolers voucher money for horse riding lessons…
It was never about creating better situations for kids. It was always a scam to line the pockets of vendors and a way to give rich folks a coupon for rich folks activities.

Yes! Stop putting joy in arbitrary, regulated boxes.

I think I've shifted from a "one holiday at a time", "no Christmas stuff til Thanksgiving is over" person to a "bring on the lights and music and whatever brings this sad world joy as early as possible" person.
