The Supreme Court ruled that Trump can unilaterally withhold $4 billion in foreign aid already approved by Congress that his regime deemed “wasteful.”
Meanwhile, he’s happy to bail out his authoritarian pal in Argentina to the tune of $20 billion.
Talk about wasteful.

When Trump calls climate change a "con job," he is representing his fossil fuel billionaire friends, not science.
Climate change is REAL. It is an existential threat to the planet and future generations.
We must transform our energy systems away from fossil fuels.

It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.
Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.
We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.
My latest piece.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life
Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath.
Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history.
So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

If Trump's "big, beautiful" reconciliation bill goes through, 13.7 million people will lose their health insurance & even more will become underinsured.
Make no mistake, thousands of low-income & working class Americans will die unnecessarily if it passes. We must not allow it.

Trump is threatening to revoke Harvard’s tax exempt status because the university refused to cave to his demands.
Why is he so hell-bent on attacking universities?
Because an educated and informed citizenry has always been the biggest threat to a dictator's power.
