We can’t stop premiums from doubling for 20 million Americans. We can’t stop 15 million Americans from losing healthcare. But we can give the royal family of Qatar worth $335 billion an Air Force base in Idaho while our government is shutdown? Uh, America first?

Trump admin: nihilistic economic extremism

Reason to be optimistic: last year, clean power was over 40% of global electricity generation, thanks to record growth in renewables. Solar generation alone has 2xed its growth rate in the last 3 years. We're trending the right direction

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system." This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it. His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns. This is now very obvious.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

In this raid, they dragged naked children out of their homes and put them into U-Haul vans. And now they're bragging about it. U.S. citizens had their doors smashed down and were forced into handcuffs and held outside for hours. Senior citizens held outside, their homes trashed.

hear me out. but maybe having one guy unilaterally determining what money the government is actually going to spend doesn't create the soundest foundation for a government funding deal or, more broadly, economic growth.

Democrats are fighting to preserve an Obamacare tax credit. Without it, a 55-year-old couple making $85K would see their premiums more than triple to $24,535.

💥WTF💥 Tariff Tom Tiffany thinks you shouldn’t be able to afford toilet paper. We think you shouldn’t be governor, @TomTiffanyWI. Watch our new ad here ⬇️

Curious how the tariffs are playing in the battleground states? Check out the new ad from @WisDems about the new GOP candidate for Governor, "Tariff Tom" Tiffany:

Political reporters are not energy reporters and so this isn’t being treated like a major political thing yet. But it is. People hate high prices especially when it is a deliberate policy choice of the federal government.

BREAKING In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration.

NBC reports that the FBI caught Tom Homan accepting bribes in exchange for steering government contracts but Trump shut the investigation down

This scenario was an entire scandal in the George W. Bush administration that lasted months, with hearings and the eventual resignation of the AG.

Before he decided to become the face of the American Stasi, Brendan Carr wrote an endless stream of stuff like this—

This is true.
