Lutnick makes my skin crawl. He’s so obviously a smarmy con man.

Agreed, but responses here remind me of how frustrated dogs on one side of a chain link fence will turn on one another when they can’t get at the dog on the other side.

The best thing to do is explain to the American people how Trump’s takeover of the Fed will impact them financially. Because to be brutally honest they care more about that than this.

@vermontgmg.bsky.social’s piece is worth another read. I have spent most days of my life since I was 12 learning about WWII and I must agree with him. “So far, after years of studying World War II, I fear that America’s trajectory feels more like Berlin circa 1933 than it does Budapest circa 2015.”

What you missed overnight night.🥳 Utah's gerrymandered congressional map was struck down. The judge reinstated the citizen-led redistricting reforms voters approved in 2018. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

No single entity can slay this monster. It’s going to take everyone (especially voters) to rid us of this fascist dictator.

He can’t be a dictator unless he has an iron fisted grip on EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. #ItsACoup
