It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

Boston is America!
As the crowd at #HandsOff Boston files into City Hall Plaza, someone got up on a barrier waving the flag, and folks started singing the Star Spangled Banner.

This too is America.

MAKE NO MISTAKE: MA IS THE BEST STATE IN AMERICA!
WOW: Thousands are currently protesting in Boston. This is just one of more than 1200 'Hands Off' protests underway today across the nation as people rise up against the Trump-Musk regime. (via Rob Way)

“Transitioning” from 50 straight months of job growth, a 400% rise in manufacturing construction and the best back-to-back years for the stock market in a quarter century. 🤡
Mike Johnson: "We're transitioning from Bidenomics and the terrible economy that was delivered by the last administration. It takes a while to turn that ship around."

If Josh Shapiro had a good adviser, he’d be telling him to take a book out of Trump’s playbook and start holding rallies across the country to put Elon & Trump on the defense. Not protests, rallies! The first known Dem to do this, becomes the de facto leader of the Dems. AOC, too!

Everything about Trump’s issue with immigration has to do with Obama. He just can’t wrap his head around the fact that the son of an immigrant dared become the president of the United States. At one point, we celebrated “Dream From My Father.” Imagine how people would feel about the same book today!

If Democrats were as good as Republicans, they would keep using and exploit this very term. Since anything can be true if you can show some parts of the allegation being true, smart Dems would work very hard to find JUST one video to keep hammering the issue. @mcuban.bsky.social
"and we deem it unjustifiable to call them concentration camps, with all the ugly connotations that term implies -- we are dealing specifically with nothing but an exclusion order."
--Korematsu v United States
“I have received some guidance to avoid terms, like ‘camps,’ that can be twisted and used against the president, yes,” says one close Trump ally. “Apparently some people think it makes us look like Nazis.”

Now, that’s the kinda dude I call a strongman!
Doug Emhoff reportedly called out Bruce Fischer, the husband of Senator Deb Fischer (R), for refusing to shake hands with Vice President Harris.

When Fischer tried to shake Emhoff’s hand at the inauguration, Emhoff said, “Why would you try to shake my hand when you wouldn’t shake my wife’s hand?”

@maf78.bsky.social over or under 10% of these people didn’t vote?
The People’s March, moving through the streets of Washington D.C. today in opposition to Trump.

The warning and narrative behind Trump being a fascist is mostly academic and intellectual. Obviously didn't get through to the average voter. For Democrats to have any shot of gop obliteration, they need to get out of the way and let Trump be Trump. Starts with NOT fighting his insane nominees
