I just called and left messages for Arizona Senators Kelly (D) and Gallego (D) telling them that if they cave without a guarantee of ACA subsidies they are going to lose their entire base in one fell swoop.

Trump Suggests $2,000 Payouts to Americans as He Defends Tariffs President praises benefits of the levies after Supreme Court appears skeptical of his justification for many of them.

While we're waiting to hear the terms of a shitty deal, this needs to be said. Whatever reason Trump is claiming there'll be a $2K tariff dividend (remember the $5K DOGE dividend), there'll be no such thing.

Right now Trump is staring at a $200B tariff payback hole.

Actually, outside of the corporate Dems, many are stepping up to counter the hard right Fascists. Don't give up on them because they are the ONLY ones who can take over and save us. Join them & change them, but don't diss them. They are finally 'getting it.'

House GOP leaders are urging their members to steer clear of the discharge petition aiming to force the Trump administration to release all the government files on Jeffrey Epstein.

Today, we met and heard the stories of the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. What they revealed is not only the trauma of hundreds of young women, but a cover-up of epic proportions involving the wealthy, the well-connected, and even our own government.

We will follow every thread until there is justice.

Dozens of scientists find errors in a new Energy Department climate report More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.

🀬 Energy Secretary Chris Wright "quietly arranged for five hand-picked skeptics of the effects of climate change" to compile the government's climate report.

These rotten greedy pricks are flat out lying in the climate report. 🀬 #ClimateEmergency #ClimateChangeIsReal

Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimesβ€”assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justiceβ€”they can be prosecuted.

Tweet from Joshua J. Friedman: 

Plaintiffs: No. Possible some children might be in that situation, but everything we could find on short notice is children not in this situation. 

Judge: Mr. Ensign you saying that *all* these children have parents who are requesting their return to Guatemala? 

DOJ: That's what I've been told

Tweet from Joshua J. Friedman:

Judge: During recess, I read provision you cited and then the complaint. Every one of 10 named plaintiffs says they are *afraid* of being sent back to Guatemala. (Reads aloud from declarations.) Doesn't line up with what govt is saying. This is why we have courts.

Jesus fucking christ. The Trump administration tried to send a bunch of children to Guatemala at 3 am and justified it by saying that the kids just wanted to return to their parents in Guatemala, but the kids actually told the court that they are afraid of being sent back to Guatemala.

They want to drag us back to the dark ages. Do not comply. Vaccines are still one of the crowning achievements of American science. "Trump’s creepy consigliere, Stephen Miller, told reporters that Kennedy is 'a crown jewel of this administration.'” Poppycock!

Democrats see crime as a major problem. Their party is struggling to address it A new AP-NORC poll finds that while most Democrats disapprove of how Trump is handling the issue, a large majority, 68%, see crime as a β€œmajor problem” in large cities.

Voters respond to flashy headlines and sound bites, crime is worse in Red states but Democrats are still playing like it’s 2008, afraid they will upset swing voters with the truth. trump rewired the arena. He proved that repetition and spectacle matter more than facts.

Fight like Gavin Newsom.
