I'm just thinking about past presidents and the significance of July 4 1826, and further wondering if the same presidential grim reaper could favor us a sitting president 200 years later.

Trump on sanctions: "One of the things I was thinking about doing, you start waving them for countries like -- if they behave themselves -- like Iran, where they can sell oil and they can do the things you want to be able to do."

🚨BREAKING: Republicans are scheming to cut Medicaid for nearly 14 million Americans.
They’re also planning over $500 BILLION in cuts to Medicare.
This is a billionaire tax handout, and America’s working families are footing the bill by sacrificing our health care.

Marjorie Taylor Greene seemingly celebrating the death of Pope Francis is a new low even for her.

Good for them. They suffered for so long.
In 1989, Donald Trump paid to publicly lynch five innocent Black boys with a full-page ad in The New York Times.
Yusef Salaam, Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana and Korey Wise are the *Exonerated* Five.
And as @glennkirschner.bsky.social explains, their case against Trump will go on

Caging like this is abuse!! It doesn't matter if it's animals or humans. Do you "get" it yet? It is inhumane.

According to Marilú, they had just left home when unfamiliar cars appeared. Moments later, three vehicles boxed them in. Armed men in green vests ordered them out. No names. No badges.
This is not law enforcement. This is intimidation. (Sorry, we couldn’t upload the full video.)

There will be protests on the 19th. Who picked that day?
Here's a little history for that weekend.... Stay safe everyone.

Russia gets no Trump tariffs.
Intriguing.
In fairness to Russia, its only exports are death, misery, chaos, war crimes, and despair…and we’re fully supplied by the Trump Administration for those.

Great thread...
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.
