Some tips on staying warm for those without power. Check in on your neighbors, especially those that may be elderly or have medical issues.

YALE BUDGET LAB: β€œTrump tariff checks would cost about twice as much as the total revenue raised by Trump’s tariff hikes…”

Again: Tariffs are a tax that mainly impact low-income households.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump-Qatar Scandal Reaches Its Apex As Trump Commits Impeachable Federal Felony in Public Don’t let anyone gaslight you into memory-holing what’s happened. This report’s author is a NYT-bestselling Trump biographer, retired criminal defense lawyer, and former federal criminal investigator.

BREAKING NEWS: Trump has taken possession of his bribe, in contravention of federal criminal statute and the Constitution. He’s hiding behind the USAF and DOJ to intimidate Congressβ€”which must initiate impeachment proceedings.

Bribery is one of two enumerated impeachable offenses.

Much more here:

This should really be all anyone needs to know. He only cares about giant corporations and the oligarchs that fund him.

Everyone else? Good luck.

Almost impossible to overcome a 20+ point political deficit in a span of 3 months.

Almost impossible for a party to win a fourth consecutive term in power.

Almost impossible for a sitting opposition leader to lose his own seat in his own riding.

All those things happened last night.

Wild.

πŸŽ‰ 🚨 UPDATE: As suspected, the cruel Lamberth & Watson bill to kick undocumented kids out of schools across πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ is DEAD FOR THE YEAR, after huge pushback.

Bravo, y’all πŸ‘πŸ½ β€” finances is the excuse, but the truth is the support wasn’t there because of the backlash.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

It's hard to overstate the value of accurate forecasts. Since 2007, hurricane forecast improvements have reduced costs by $5 billion *per storm* on average, more than 4 times the entire NWS budget

Skipped the paperwork. Ignored the court order. Broke the law. Ignored the constitution.

This ain’t immigration policy. This is straight-up defiance of the rule of law.

Here's Trump saying to Bukele that "homegrown criminals are next" and talking about how El Salvador will need to build "about five more places."

14.04.2025 16:31 πŸ‘ 3174 πŸ” 1595 πŸ’¬ 269 πŸ“Œ 617

This is horrifying and should, in any reasonable world, lead to immediate impeachment. On a hot mic, before the media arrived, starting around 7:15 on the time index, Trump tells Bukele he is going to start sending "homegrown criminals" to El Salvadoran gulags. This is fascism.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

WATCH: β€œI’m here because I will not be bullied.”

A pardon attorney fired by Trump says Trump’s DOJ sent armed U.S. marshals to deliver a letter warning her not to testify before Congress about Trump’s DOJ’s abuse of power.

Thanks for sharing your story, Rebecca. Protecting folks with pre-existing conditions – like your son – was important to us. And it’s why we have to continue working hard to protect and build on the foundation of the ACA, too.

Report: Trump Had Over $280 Million In Debt Forgiven And Avoided Paying Taxes On Most Of It The debt largely came from his Chicago tower.

Nothing screams HYPOCRITE quite like Trump complaining about & gutting school loan forgiveness for grads dedicated to service & bettering our communities while he’s had HUNDREDS of MILLIONS in debt forgiven due bankruptcy 6 times.

Musk’s status as a β€œspecial government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working dailyβ€”documented by his own X postsβ€”they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congressβ€”please share.

We're not done yet | 18F

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:

Talk is cheap, GOP senators. Start voting against Trump’s nominees and agenda, or sit down and stop wasting everyone’s time and attention.
