It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Only someone this wealthy would so flippantly suggest you uproot your life, sell your house, pull your kids out of school, quit your job, request a transfer — all to save 50 basis points on CPI. 🤡

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Trump gutted USAID, stopping critical lifesaving assistance around the world, in order to save money, and is now putting more than that much money into interfering in Argentina's domestic politics by bailing out the ruling party.

I know there are lots of competing things to worry about, but this matters more than you might think. Pollution kills babies and the elderly. It harms student achievement and long term life success. It causes illness. It causes climate change.

The Trump administration has all but stopped enforcing environmental laws
The EPA is the nation's top environmental cop. In the last few months, the federal agency has significantly scaled back pollution enforcement.

When I interviewed KKK leaders in Arkansas, this is what they said too. “We don’t hate anyone. We just love our own people.” Then they burned a cross.
“Social solidarity is destroyed when you have too much migration too quickly,” JD Vance tells our columnist Ross Douthat in this episode of “Interesting Times.” “That’s not because I hate the migrants or I’m motivated by grievance. That’s because I’m trying to preserve something in my own country.”

Astonishing. Trump's excuse for ending TPS for Afghans is a supposed increase in tourism to Afghanistan. So must be safe!
