Psst…those 1950s manufacturing jobs Trump loves so much?
They were good jobs because they were UNION jobs.
Oh...and taxes on corporations and the rich were much higher.
Trump’s agenda won’t bring back the “Golden Age.”
It’ll make the rich richer at everyone else's expense.

WE'VE handed a Republican President a great economy THREE straight times.
And THEY immediately F it up with their tired, FAILED ideas.

1. I want to suggest today that what we are seeing on Wall Street and in markets around the world is the sudden realization that the president is mentally unstable – that he has dementia, probably – and as a result of that realization, investors no longer have any faith in Donald Trump.

They are deadly serious about this. They are planning to throw millions of people off their insurance in order to afford a trillion dollar tax cut for the wealthiest 1%.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

“Total chaos at the Pentagon.”
This from a Trump and Hegseth loyalist.
So much is at stake here. Servicemembers are at risk because of this terrible mismanagement. It’s past time for Hegseth to resign or be fired.

The concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy.
When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, the American people don't have a voice.
The result? Demagoguery and corruption.

Now, some other possible headlines that would fit same space, match just as well with the data in the piece, and convey an entirely different impression. And—my opinion— say more about what the realities actually are.
Entire rest of world envies this US model.

If the IRS deprives Harvard of its tax-exempt status, that's very bad for Harvard but it's also a catastrophe for the IRS. Instead of a neutral agency that enforces tax law, it will become a tool of partisan warfare. It may never recover.

So… this was supposed to be about Paul Revere’s ride, but the Senator just unloaded about the Trump administration and its Republican enablers. Far more newsworthy than I expected. (You can probably see me shifting to “crap, this was not the interview I prepped!” but the result was memorable.)

If they can ship Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a foreign prison—accused of no crime, with no trial—they can do it to anyone.
