Is me or does anyone else see Trump’s actions as a set up to cut taxes on the rich again?
In the short term:
Tariffs act as national sales tax raising revenue.
Layoffs & shutting down programs reduce costs.
Net effect: ‘we should cut taxes because we don’t need the revenue!’

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

Elon Musk to reporter: “We post our actions to the DOGE website. All of our actions are maximally transparent. I don’t know of a case where an organization has been more transparent than the DOGE organization.”
Here’s the doge.gov website IN ITS ENTIRETY. It’s literally a blank page!

The problem with calls for “discourse,” is that MAGA isn’t interested in an exchange of ideas. It wants to leverage the rules of polite to destroy discourse. It wants to walk in, shout us all down, spit lies, and thumb their noses at us.
Shout “if you’re so tolerant why don’t you tolerate my hate?”

I love football and the Superbowl. Was really looking forward to it.
But a convicted rapist will be attending and getting a lot of attention.
And the Chief's kicker is a very loud and proud homophobe who loves to call us faggots.
So.....nah, not watching. You have fun with that.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do.
Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Trump and Apple better tell the UK to go to hell with its demand to access Americans’ private, encrypted texts and files. Trump and American tech companies letting foreign governments secretly spy on Americans would be an unmitigated privacy and national security disaster.
Apple ordered to open encrypted user accounts globally to UK spying

If implemented, the secret order would give the UK access to encrypted backups belonging to any user — not just Brits.
