Intuit donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He's now planning to end the free IRS Direct File program.

Apple donated $1M. Trump exempted most of Apple’s imports from tariffs.

Coinbase donated $1M. Trump’s SEC dropped a major lawsuit against them.

See how this works?

Incredible. The Trump administration calculated "tariff rates" by taking the US trade deficit with the respective country and dividing it by the country's exports to the US. And then the tariff rate of the US is often just set by cutting that made-up "tariff rate" in half.

NEW: Donald Trump announced the US was imposing reciprocal tariffs on a small collection of Antarctic islands that are not inhabited by humans, as part of a global trade war aimed at asserting US dominance.

The Heard and McDonald Islands are known for their populations of penguins.
Trump Tariffs Hit Antarctic Islands Inhabited by Zero Humans and Many Penguins
The Heard and McDonald Islands are among the dozens of targets of President Donald Trump's latest round of tariffs. But they have no exports, because no one lives there.

New month, new book! Picked by my son, but not for the reasons you think: he thought it looked like Minions. 😆 I’m a bit scared to read this one, I must admit…. Thank God my kids are still too young…

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Trump is urging GOP lawmakers to defund PBS "immediately".

He's not the first right-wing crook to wage war on public broadcasting.

Here's what national treasure Fred Rogers told Congress in 1969 when Richard Nixon tried to gut PBS.

Pour éviter une situation comme les démocrates aux USA qui n'ont pas voté pour XY raisons. Et qui maintenant se plaignent de Trump. Tu avais juste une job à faire pourtant...
Les gens qui partage le post viral d'Anne Archet appelant a ne pas voter.

Votre méthode a été utilisé en 2016 et 2024. Le résultat a été Trump avec les pleins pouvoirs.

Dans une élection, tu vote pour le moins pire des résultats. C'est plate, mais c'est de même.

This whole thread. I thank the universe every day that my son got into a school that is adaptable and let kids learn how it works for them.
As I sat in my son's annual IEP meeting, it's deeply frustrating and sad to think that you need special education accommodations for things that should be considered universal choices & supports. 🤷🏼‍♂️

These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere

The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.

NEW: I guess we have to argue, once again, that the Holocaust was real and Nazis are bad. But flip this around; there’s also good news. Right now, those of us who hate Nazis, but love equal rights and not catching measles, are losing. But we won before. We can win again.
The re-emergence of old bad ideas such as that vaccines cause autism (they don’t!)
Other examples of things that I thought were settled but are now apparently up for debate again include same-sex marriage, protections for disabled people and the use of the “r-word.”

Dear Congress,
Libraries are the place we all belong. The place where Mister Rogers’ neighbors collide at the library to help one another. We come together to embrace library joy. What good is the world without libraries and museums? ❤️‍🩹

Call, email Congress! Help libraries & museums! We need you 💛

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.
