Mehdi was right and, also, Trump has obviously never had a problem with inflicting suffering on people. He just resents commitments. As in his personal life...

What is the point of inserting the word "concerns" into this headline, other than to obscure the utterly brazen corruption Trump is engaged in?
This whole Van Hollen trip is evidence for @joshtpm.bsky.socialβs theory that one of the things limiting the effectiveness of so many peopleβs resistance to Trump is lack of imagination to try creative tactics.
It's not just the stock market. About who the tariffs harm the most...

I know we're not supposed to say anything good about Europe, but we could learn a thing or two about how to be an opposition:

We should start tallying Bobby's body count now. It's going to be big.
In light of the new regime's full scale, vicious attack on trans folks, I'd hope those liberals who deemed it necessary to spend millions of pixels explaining why we really did need to keep scrutinizing med care for trans minors now realize they were just playing into the hands of that malevolence.
Yes!!! Say more of this!!! Itβs the most astonishingly, openly corrupt administration in US history, literally from the first day, and itβll only get worse. They arenβt even trying to hide it. Itβs a degree of corruption that could destabilize the whole country, the whole world.
Terrorizing undocumented immigrants, shutting down DEI efforts and demonizing trans folks should make people feel much better about their ability to pay the rent and afford groceries, amirite?
That's pretty out there, Chris.
The continuing resolution axed by Elon and co included a SNAP benefits extension. Now that it won't get passed soon, families will literally be going hungry during the holidays because of the world's richest man.
I think the NYT's headline writers have just reached the pinnacle of their idiot craft:
Party of the working class, part 1,000: apnews.com/article/loui...
Trump, the tribune of the working man, is going to unleash a holy war against working class Americans, on behalf of his only true constituents- the plutocrats:

It is curious.
Add this to what will be a *long* list of anti-labor moves.
Let's just keep a running tally of all the anti-labor actions carried out by Trump and his ilk.
No sicker joke than the assertion that Trump/Vance would be, in any way that matters, pro labor. www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...
The sheer absurdity of anyone claiming Trump era Republicans are pro free speech and debate: www.nytimes.com/2024/11/21/u...
Both sides....
From a couple of years ago but, I hope, a useful way of understanding Trump and Trumpism as we gird for round two:

Just checking to see whether this is getting through.
OK, going to try to get my act together on here. Here's my latest substack, about the sociopolitical underpinnings of the rightwing freakout over Taylor Swift and the Super Bowl:
