Tariffs have behaviors. When monitoring their economic impact on consumers, first they sleep, then they creep, and then they leap. The trump administration knows this hoping they get past the 2026 elections before they leap.
Reminder: Most mass shootings are carried out by cisgender men.
What a ridiculous person.

Must be nice to have no oligarchs on your supreme court.

We are living out a future poli sci research genre that will absolutely astonish people. How did we let this happen?
‘Help me, please!’ Plainclothes “ICE” agents snatch a man outside Los Angeles’ largest courthouse on Wednesday. A tactic that has been repeatedly condemned by the legal community. Painful to watch. Even more painful knowing there are people who not only accept this, are happy about it.

"If you live in Alaska, I need you to buy a Ukrainian flag and turn any area that Putin is going to be into a sea of Ukrainian flags - so many that, when Putin lands, all he's going to see is just yellow and blue."
Trump is mobilizing the National Guard against Americans in DC to distract you his administration's massive Epstein Files cover-up.
Someone forgot to take down this webpage: www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/v...
Dems tossed Franken for just pretending to grab a boob on a comedy tour and they act like we’d defend actual predators.
We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House. This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries. They can’t win fair, so they cheat.
Me thinks you just coined a new phrase: “Trump dumb”. As in, that guy is trump dumb
BREAKING: New documents and testimony make it clear that Emil Bove urged DOJ officials to defy court orders – then misled the Judiciary Committee about it. The facts are disqualifying. And the timeline is damning. Let's break it down. 🧵
The tan suit is next
So congress going home for vacation early! Because of Epstein. Demand a town hall now, they have free time!
Only ICE agents.
These are facts: 1. Pam Bondi was Florida AG from 2011-2019. 2. Despite survivor accounts & law suits during this time, she pursued NO CHARGES against Epstein. 3. Trump appointed Bondi as US Attorney General. 4. Bondi just closed the DOJ investigation into Epstein.

I'd really love for some Democratic politicians to start saying we will hold ICE agents responsible for their abuses when they are back in power.

“Ten years of lies ranked above law. Ten years of hate placed above humanity. Ten years where truth became treason and decency became weakness. Ten years of corruption and corrosion in the White House.” -Rick Wilson therickwilson.substack.com/p/ten-years-...
These people were talkers on TV because either they didn't have the SKILL to do anything else or they were too LAZY to do it, or both. Not exactly the best qualifications for running some of the biggest agencies in the world.
“Nothing good happens after midnight”? It's a reminder that when we are tired -- or have been out drinking -- we don't always make the best decisions after the clock strikes 12.
The Rules Committee meets at 1 AM on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning to ram through this disastrous bill. Why? Because they don't want you to see them ripping healthcare from millions of Americans. You do not hold a hearing for a bill at 1 AM unless you're completely ashamed of it.
Bribery in plain sight.
Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?
Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem and a whole lot of ICE/DHS types is will discover a Strange New Respect for habeas corpus and the rule of law when the 2029 Truth and Reconciliation Commission arrests them for human trafficking, conspiracy, kidnapping, and child abuse.

Maybe because they’re not ICE agents?
@fifaworldcup26.bsky.social should reevaluate whether they should have the U.S. host some of the 2026 FIFA World Cup games. I’m sure that Canada and Mexico which are cohosting the games can accommodate the extra games. Travel to the U.S. IS NOT safe!
NEW: Crowd now growing at the Capitol where Cory Booker and Hakeem Jeffries are staging a sit-in on the steps. Is this building into something? If you’re in DC, they’re encouraging folk to come down there & support. #Resist (📸 Sen. Brian Schatz)
These men behind bars are not in prison after being charged with crimes. They are "enemy combatants" being detained in a concentration camp. As such, Kristi Noem's crass photo-op using them as props violates the Geneva Convention's prohibition of ‘exposure to public curiosity’ of those captured.
Insurance companies, alongside big Pharma, seem to basically run the American economy. Those are the only commercials I ever see on any American news network…. Meanwhile, medical debt crushes ill people. Trying to submit a claim to one’s insurance company for coverage is a nightmare at times.
The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved
Trump has long boasted about the market's performance under him. But now he seems to have other priorities.

This country has seen some bad moments in the 61 years, 5 months, 16 days I’ve been on this Earth. But it has never, ever before come close to the supertoxic level of stupidity, mendacity, narcissism, nihilism, and moral apathy that threaten to destroy it today.

Captures it perfectly.

Trump undermines American values and its constitution with the support of the Republicans. I never thought I’d see an anti-American, American president, partnering with dictators, while he treats Canada, Europe and other friends with disdain. Trump is anti-American. #theantiamericanwillfall
Wow! The FOTUS could have ended WWII with his negotiating skills, of course Germany would keep France.

FACT CHECK from the California Department of Water Resources: “The military did not enter California. The federal government restarted federal water pumps after they were offline for maintenance for three days. State water supplies in Southern California remain plentiful.”

Well if you ever wanted to wage a tax protest, now might be a good time. Not only is there a hiring freeze at the IRS but it doesn't expire with all the rest. AND these clowns want to reassign existing IRS agents as southern border guards. waysandmeans.house.gov/2025/01/23/p...
