"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

This is the budget resolution that Republicans have voted for.
Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

boosting because good and we need more good
Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

The 500 richest people in the world added $304B to their combined net worth yesterday after Trump's tariff pause.
Meanwhile, retirees, small businesses, and workers are still reeling from the mess.
Trump's actions feel chaotic until you see who really comes out on top.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks.
We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.
