Re: Trump past demand that CA sweep their forests: Trump's federalization of the Guard has depleted the ranks of the people who actually fight fires or try to prevent them. So he's impeding CA's efforts to, uh, sweep their forests.

Republicans are rushing to give the rich more tax cuts, so it's time to revisit our 2019 episode with @bartlettb.bsky.social, Reagan’s tax policy guy, who now says trickle-down was a scam. Tax cuts for the wealthy don’t grow the economy. They grow inequality.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything,

Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT.

Senator Lisa Murkowski just said that she and her colleagues are afraid & anxious because retaliation from the president is real. This is not normal or right. Our leader is a tyrant, but the same people who are scared, are the ones who could actually stop him.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

French Senator Claude Malhuret:

"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Please watch this entire video. We need to focus on the positive future we want and not just react.
Everyone needs to hear this.

This is not about opposing Trump and the GOP agenda.

This is about fighting for the future and what can be.
