This was one of the really troubling parts of the interview.

At no point did Burns point out to Trump that SCOTUS was likely to rule his tariffs illegal.
1️⃣ Trump’s tariffs are 100% illegal

2️⃣ Even if they WERE legal, this is exactly the wrong time to increase taxes on the American people.

I'm so glad these people are being exposed for morons.

Please do more interviews, Alex Karp, Sam Altman, Thiel and others.

These billionaires are freaks, folks. They aren't prophets or geniuses who will save humanity. They're more like the pharoah, but dumber.

Texas' abortion ban has killed another woman.

Let's be very clear: Republicans are killing women. Democrats need to start calling them murderers loudly and often.

I also want to add to @vermontgmg.bsky.social's point on the public hatred of immigration raids. We *just had a test case of this in Virginia.* No one is talking about this, but that election actually tells us something about the politics of immigration:

This has gotten lost: Abigail Spanberger won big after vowing to RESCIND Glenn Youngkin's executive order directing local cooperation with ICE and voting AGAINST the anti-immigrant Laken Riley Act. Yet she gained bigly with working class.

Mike Johnson is also accused of refusing to swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.), to further delay the vote on the release the Jeffrey Epstein files. Grijalva would be the 218th signature needed to force the vote, but she can’t sign until she’s sworn in. #OpDeathEaters

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

NEW: After paying for hotel rooms to shelter homeless people, Seattle deliberately left them vacant.

By the end of 2024, taxpayers were spending $4,200 a month per empty room at a time when thousands of residents were without a roof over their heads.
Seattle Spent Millions on Hotel Rooms to Shelter Unhoused People. Then It Stopped Filling Them.
Early last year, the city signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotel’s rooms as shelter space. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there.
