After Trumpโs reckless decision to remove fmr VP Harrisโs Secret Service detail, sources in California say the stateโs Highway Patrol will work as her protective detailโfor now. Itโs great to see immediate pushback against Trumpโs retribution tour. More here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/obama-call...

Lowest-income households (bottom 10-20%): Tariffs cost them between 3.5% and 6.2% of income. Middle-income households: Face a tariff burden in the range of 2% to 3% of income, with annual costs averaging around $2,200-$3,000 per household.
President Trump is using our tax dollars to pay for his unwarranted deployment of military troops to D.C. in a blatant attempt to expand his power. Weโre fighting back.
@nealkatyal.bsky.social: โYouโve got the president who's imposed the largest tax increase on American consumers since 1993 โฆ and he did it without Congress saying one word. That is not our constitutional structure.โ
Russia โ which is by some measures the most sanctioned country on earth โ shows little urgency to end its war in Ukraine. President Vladimir Putin of Russia has conducted hundreds of billions of dollars in cross-border trade despite U.S. sanctions.

Not a single fucking prayer saved any of the kids who died. Prayer without action is performative nonsense and I distinctly remember that Jesus whooped the daylights out of a bunch of performative jackasses making a mockery of his fatherโs house.

I think any attempts at censorship is this episode deserve scrutiny.
This should terrify everyone. Trump is building his own personal army. He & the GOP stole your services to make it & to pay private prisons to house anyone who isnโt local. Weโre allowing trumpโs authoritarian rule. It going to take our soldiers to say NO & stop him. #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

The video was just suddenly pulled and made private within hours of being released. I was halfway through and it stopped suddenly.
Fascism is here. Trump is consolidating power & doing away with checks & balances. Following Project 2025 he & the GOP are strangling our democracy in record speed. We canโt let them succeed. We must fight back in every way possible. Speak Up! Fight Back! #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory
The concentration of wealth in the hands of a few isn't just bad for our economy. It's corrosive to our democracy. When the wealthy and well-connected control our political system, regular people don't have a voice. The result? The demagoguery and corruption we're seeing now.
www.cnn.com/2025/08/17/u...
Thereโs no longer any pretense this has anything to do with crime (there are cities or parts of cities in SC and Ohio that have higher crime rates than DC โ send the troops there!). This is about establishing a precedent for Trump seizing control of the nationโs capital when he wants to.
If youโre under any illusions about what an authoritarian personality cult the GOP has become, theyโre not hiding it:

โBefore I even set foot in the Oval Office, I will have the catastrophic war between Russia and Ukraine resolved. It will be resolved quickly. Quickly.

My Democratic primary opponent who I defeated just switched to the Republican ticket. His campaign swore heโd never do it and surprise: they lied. This is part of Trumpโs plan to take over major cities. Phillyโs next on their list, and Iโm sure as hell not going to let it happen.
This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government. (I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...
