Iranian proposal rejected by Trump would open strait before nuclear talks, Iran official says reut.rs/4dl9NMQ

Two adjacent corners in DC.

What if Navarro looked at the jobs numbers before they were “corrected “. Can we trust this administration?

🔥 COACH SULLY: “Let’s see what $4.3 TRILLION looks like when each party gets their hands on it… the oligarchs are laughing all the way to the bank (with Republicans)…”

It will be important to keep track of what we used to have and how it all used to work. And how badly it used to work and how much was needed to fix that - because the mess that's coming is going to be soooo bad it will be hard to imagine a way out of it.

Went to a Rep. Jamie Raskin event last night. He was witty and uplifting, despite a lack of sleep. On Washington DC: “ it’s not the heat. It’s the stupidity.” The Supreme Court majority: “they are fingerpainting on the Constitution.”

Republicans are sticking it to the poor in order to shower money on their super-rich donors, who have bribed them to do just that. It’s despicable.

Do these bunker busters make my parade look bigger?

The undocumented have become tightly woven into our communities. Mass deportations of law abiding and hard-working people are inhumane and will make us all poorer.

Can we please not forget that it was Trump who tore up the Iran nuclear deal in 2018.

🤦🏼‍♀️

I used to say “the three legged stool of conservatism” collapsed during the Bush years with neo-, fiscal, and social conservatism all discredited by, in order: the Iraq War, the financial crisis, and Will and Grace (used as a broad synedoche for the integration of out gay people into public life).

In case you were wondering why your household electricity bill is rising.

I just re-read the full Declaration of Independence. It's the most illuminating and depressing thing I've read in a while. Highly recommend folks give it a read. Many — if not most — of the complaints levied against King George are indistinguishable from those brought against President Trump today.

Chilling. The DOGE-built database on everything and everyone is here. The very thing that right wing used to accuse the left of encouraging.

Time for some cabinet resignations. Congress could also step up to stop this tariff madness.

Received a random copy of the CATO Institute magazine in the mail. After a thoroughly reasonable piece on the flaws of prosecutorial manipulation of juries, they follow with a proud piece on their role in guiding DOGE. Libertarianism can be alluring, but on closer examination, it always sucks.

Are you READY?! 🤚 Let’s. Do. This. 😎✨

Surely we are in a constitutional crisis. The Trump administration seems to have disobeyed two court orders in the last 48 hours, both involving immigration. I know some people think it will only be a crisis when they ignore the Supreme Court. What do you think?

Remember all the platitudes about how they aren't anti-immigration, they just want people to come the "right" way? It was a lie, it was always a lie, and coming after green card holders is the final proof that it's a lie.

If you’re pissed about Sen. Chuck Schumer caving to Trump and Elon Musk, take the pledge to boycott contributions to all Senate Democrats until they replace him as leader: chng.it/mZgjGv9rS9

This. All across America people want to be heard.

NYT columnist Jamelle Bouie really captures Trump: “His every executive function exists to satisfy his ego. He is a covetous person consumed by an insatiable desire for acquisition, a man who seems to take the seven deadly sins as a seven-day challenge.”

The “Tucker Fukka”, a.k.a. the microwave, quit after 15 years of venerable service. But it’s #buynothing today so maybe replace it Saturday.

Governor Tim Walz says when Democrats are back in power, people are "not going to expect us to tinker around the edge with the ACA; they're going to expect universal healthcare."

Response to yet another fundraising text from Kamala Harris:

Then there are stories like this that remind you the gaslighting is real www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/vot...

And two beers!

This is all a good reminder that, “no help, no votes until the criminal conduct stops” is neither a big ask nor a politically perilous one.

Orange looks at smaller countries the same way Big Business looks at smaller businesses. They are just competitors to be defeated and acquired. The goal is to eliminate competition. There are no allies. If I were a smaller country I would see him as a serious threat to independence and sovereignty.

It’s been just 25 days of crimin’ and dictating. Seems a bit longer, right?

I was at my neurologist’s office today. He works with a big teaching hospital. They were ready to start phase 3 trials on a very promising Parkinson’s therapy but the NIH contribution and the trials are now very much in doubt.
