Wow! The MAGA takeover of the GOP is officially complete. MAGA will CANCEL the Federalist Society? Leonard Leo is now a RINO? 🤯 Unlike MAGA, Federalist Society is a true conservative organization. Is that the last of the real conservatives? Tea Partiers were cancelled long ago. 🍿

June 14 No Kings Day

Yes! Maybe it can become a US version of Guy Fawkes Day! I love the idea of Americans celebrating "No Kings Day" on King Chaos' birthday for generations. If he's going to be part of our history, let mockery become the tradition.

Now ... a mask should be easy. Right?
While Trump wastes tens of millions of taxpayer dollars on his birthday parade in DC, we’re taking to the streets everywhere else on June 14 for a nationwide day of defiance. Please join us at a No Kings Day event near you: nokings.org/?SQF_SOURCE=indivisible

TRUMP is CORRUPT.
Congrats to Chinese businessman Justin Sun. He's purchased a POTUS.

Trump has had a history of shady schemes and failures but his biggest win is selling coins that don't have fancy display boxes or even a shiny coin. But if you buy enough of them, you win a president.

This tech bro philosophy believes we are "post-constitutional." That we should be run by a monarchy. They WANT to replace democracy. I listened to the Curtis Yarvin interview a while back. Many of the bros (apparently) follow this philosophy including Musk and Thiel and JD Vance.

CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES if you want to save Social Security.

Opportunities to save Social Security have been squandered by Congress over decades. They're running out of time.

Dropkick Murphys just had an epic moment at their show:

They made a friendly wager with a fan in a MAGA shirt—“Let’s see where it’s made.”

Then they checked his MAGA shirt tag…

Made in Nicaragua.

They swapped it with a Made in America Dropkick Murphys tee.

Legendary.

Trump tried to stick this problem with someone else. Oops.

Trump performed a political rug-pull grift in his first term with huge corporate tax cuts. Then, he sold a pander in the form of a temporary tax cut (TCJA.)
The Next Fiscal Cliff: Big Tax Decisions to Make in 2025
Some TCJA provisions were made temporary to limit the negative fiscal impact of the 2017 bill. It sets up a significant decision point for policymakers next year.

Lil Marco got it when Obama was betraying Ukraine but now he just melts into a couch. We risk entering a new arms race because nobody can count on America.

Donald Trump surrenders to terrorists and tyrants. In the end, though, it's always Russia! Russia! Russia!

Trump's zero sum game is dangerous.

Americans will regret losing the soft power we enjoy and the stability and security it provides the world. However, even though the rest of the world envies and resents this power, the allies *allow* us to have it because it benefits them, as well.

"I am confident considering what Russia is currently doing against the United States, the United States status against Russia would not be that-- considering what we are facing from Russia operations."
