Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs.

A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which is about to get cut.

If Bezos can spend $50M on a wedding, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.

He’s threatening media companies who are critical of him.

He’s talking about sending Americans to foreign prisons.

He’s signing executive orders to investigate former staff members who spoke out against him.

He’s defying the Supreme Court.

Don’t you see what’s happening here?

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

My friend @davidlat.bsky.social just published an email Paul Weiss chair Brad Karp sent to the firm. This excerpt is the most chilling. This is how constitutional republics die -- when rivals see a violation of fundamental rights not as an injustice, but as a business opportunity:

After his failure to lead effectively in the current U.S. constitutional crisis, I can’t believe Chuck Schumer had the nerve to go on Meet the Press this morning to hawk his new book. His priorities are appalling.

The issue is not whether norms are observed. It is whether a strategy is being implemented. Right now, there is no opposition strategy that is evident in DC. By contrast, we are seeing D AGs implementing a strategy they developed over months in the courts to substantial success. 1/
Murphy: "If we continue to observe norms, if we continue to engage in business as usual, this democracy could be gone. I don't think we have a year to save American democracy. I think the way the president is acting ... puts out democracy at immediate risk."

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

Senate Dems don't get that Schumer is dragging them all down with him.

It matters that the House GOP margin is narrow. It hasn't mattered in the Senate. The Senate has done what they'd do with 100 Republicans. Same appointees confirmed, same bills passed, same pace.
