We're almost there, but nowhere near it. All that matters is that we're going.

Newsom: "I fear that we will not have an election in 2028 -- I really mean that in the core of my soul -- unless we wake up to the code red, what's happening in this country, and we wake up soberly to how serious this moment is."

This Fourth of July, I am taking a moment to reflect. Things are hard right now. They are probably going to get worse before they get better.

But I love our country — and when you love something, you fight for it. Together, we will continue to fight for the ideals of our nation.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Trump created an environment of instability where it's impossible to make long term plans. Whether you're a company, investor, or anyone working to put food on the table.

The GOP only promises you more of this. If you want stability, you have to vote for it by voting them out.

Tariffs on their own do not create more American jobs or lead to more US production. In fact, Trump's last trade war cost roughly 300,000 jobs. All these tariffs will do is give corporations cover to jack up prices and pad their profits at our expense.

I could not agree more. I see this everywhere. People are losing their reasoning capabilities.
An underrated factor in how we got ourselves into this mess is that Americans are increasingly relying on computers and the internet instead of their own critical thinking faculties (AI is making this even worse), and as a result are uninformed and easy to manipulate.

I really do think we’re well beyond this point.

If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.

Bacon: "Republicans supported tariffs in the 1800s and up through about 1930 when we passed that Smoot–Hawley Act that created the worst depression we've ever had. We learned from that that tariffs and protectionism does not work."

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: When we see people being pulled off the streets, when we see students at universities being grabbed, detained, and kidnapped, and when we see Kristi Noem filming this disgusting video, we’re looking at a nation we no longer recognize. We don’t want to be like that nation.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.
