A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

Rather than being carefully planned or precisely executed, the new Trump tariff rates appear to be based on nonsensical calculations and applied in the most haphazard way possible.
Trump's tariff blueprint called for 'careful planning' and 'precise execution'

With all due respect, Congressman, he’s not trying to distract from anything here.
He’s a grandiose pathological narcissist. A narcissistic sociopath. A malignant narcissist. A psychopath. A megalomaniac.
This is what he thinks of himself. And what he wants others to think of him.

Dear media:
Please do not waste time hyperventilating about this dumb comment.
It’s intended to be a distraction from all of the damaging actions he’s taking.
Focus on those.

This is the way…
“The elected officials in Washington have to stop protesting in Washington. They have to go back to their districts…show the consequences…show the school that isn’t operating…they have to make it real.”
With social media, word will spread to neighboring districts—even red ones.

Why do we elect them if they have no power to do anything?
This is a great idea. Do you know anyone in Congress you can talk to?
Congress must take action to restore the rule of law.

A witch hunt has begun at the FBI. Employees are required to provide information by Tuesday and are being encouraged to report on their coworkers. The FBI questionnaire asks agents about their roles in various cases, including whether they made arrests or appeared in court, among other details.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

The Trump administration has placed two top security chiefs at the U.S. Agency for International Development on leave after they resisted turning over classified material in restricted areas to Elon Musk’s staffers. America, please stand with us—we are fighting to defend this country!

This is important to watch. They explain that we need to realize Trump throws things out and hope no one questions it. If they do, he backs down as he seems to be with the tarrifs. We need Democratic leadership to be doing this www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8YFtLVa/

Democracy doesn’t mean whoever wins a slight plurality in the national vote gets to rewrite every American institution to satisfy their own whims. The president is not an elected king. If we let him become one, the project of American democracy is over.
