It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails.

Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

Trump golfing with the Saudis instead of welcoming the 4 dead soldiers returning home for the last time tells you everything you need to know about where his loyalties lie. #FDT

Hate won the election! We are only UNITED in our current suffering! It’s sad that social issues that have nothing to do with if you have food, clothes, nor a home, divided us. The hate for groups of people allowed him to make us less safe domestically, economically, and frankly mentally.

Who owns this company?
The Trump administration's Department of Energy has handed management of America's strategic petroleum reserve to a "little-known company" after what it calls a "rigorous competitive process."

The contract for this company — charitably described as a "lesser-known name" — is worth $1.4 billion.

In the Magical Thinking Administration, you can solve problems by eliminating words. The USDA is no longer allowed to say “safe drinking water” or “greenhouse gas emissions.” Somehow, this is “putting farmers first.”

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously.

Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

ICYMI, @propublica.org uncovered Project 2025 training videos last summer.

And here’s where they discuss how to evade FOIA & hide their agenda from the public.

The “Houthi PC small group” didn’t arise from ignorance of the law or incompetence.

They just got caught.

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

Wow.

Rep. Chuck Edwards is getting torn apart at a town hall in Asheville, NC.

“I’m a veteran & you don’t give a fuck about me. You don’t get to do this to us!”

Edwards orders veteran to be thrown out.

We’re approaching a tipping point now. Anger across the country is going to boil over soon.

I know this is going to sound naive or earnest, but I genuinely find myself shocked by how little people seem to be upset by the levels of corruption we're seeing. Is that the median voter assumes everyone is corrupt already? Or isn't actually getting stories about the corruption?

This Repub CR, that they claim will keep the government open, is a perfect example of why you must read bills.

Inside the text, you’ll find cuts everywhere, and so much money taken from vets you wouldn’t believe it. These guys are frauds.

Nice try! Hard NO! Throw it in the 🗑️

I sure would like to know who has been buying the dips right before Trump announces he has changed his mind and reverses a tariff. Seems like valuable information in the markets to know when he announces a tariff and when he’s going to rescind it.
