WOW! 💜💜💜
Yesterday, we sent a historically big message to Trump, Musk, and the GOP — and we also sent a signal to all those who agree with us but have spent the last few months feeling shaken, hopeless, and afraid. #handsoff

Europeans don't need ugly American cars. They have governments that are forward-thinking, which provide buses, subways, and high-speed trains, unlike America, which would rather order another aircraft carrier it doesn't need than help its citizens get to work.

Tomorrow’s nationwide events are about saying Hands Off! to President Musk and Kennedy Center chairman Trump.

But they’re also about convincing the Schumers of the world to be more like the Bookers of the world and actually stand up and fight for us: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

Friendly reminder that Republicans could end this tariff mess TODAY. They just won’t. Make sure they know you know.

Bombshell in North Carolina: the state's GOP-dominated Court of Appeals just sided with the GOP candidate in last year's supreme court race.

Their decision would toss roughly 60,000 ballots (!) that have been counted, & likely hand the election to GOP instead of incumbent Dem Justice who won it.

So true.
Pretty simple rule of thumb when wondering why the Trump administration does anything is to ask two questions:

1) is it racist?

Or

2) are they stupid?

Tends to cover most Trump administration stuff.

Thanks, Senator.
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.

1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

I spoke to an expert in authoritarianism, who explained to me that things like this are extremely meaningful and they help protect democracy, even if there’s not a straight line between this and actual legislating

Time to make some calls.
Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

Here’s an update on the guy in charge of finding fraud in our government.

The Mad King is alienating our allies and tariffing us into ruin. To enrich himself and the oligarchs.

He has broken through our guardrails, installing sycophants at every level of the executive branch.

Democrats in Congress don’t have the votes to stop him.

Republicans don’t have the balls.

My God.

ICE wrongfully arrested a man while his 5-year-old autistic child sat in the backseat—and shipped him off to an El Salvador prison. No due process. Now the Trump administration claims they can’t get him back.

How many more?

THIS NEEDS TO BE A BIGGER STORY.
