John Fugelsang on Vanity Fair piece: I wouldn't be surprised if Trump really didn't read it because it's printed in sentences, so it's a bit much for him. Don't be surprised if Susie leaves because she'd like to be employable beyond this job.

The fact that it has taken over a decade for some organizations to say fuck you, prove it to this perpetual liar and thief is simply amazing. I'll take it but what a pathetic reflection on most of the titans of industry who cower before him.

Starting today, we’re putting these billboards up near U.S. Southern Command and U.S. Special Operations Command — the outposts overseeing Trump’s controversial boat strikes that have killed nearly 100 people.

He's not a moderate and calling him one only aides him with an extreme agenda. You can't be a moderate and support an illegal war...or the MAGA agenda.

"Democrats should be out there screaming that the trade wars are responsible for America’s economic malaise. If the Supreme Court ends up saving the economy from Trump’s tariffs, Democrats will need to convince the electorate that the Court saved them FROM TRUMP."

What every member of my new political party should shout every single day:

Donald Trump inherited the strongest post-Covid economy in the entire industrialized world, and he has singlehandedly fucked it up. Trump has singlehandedly fucked up our economy.

Say it out loud Dems.

Again and again, the optimal position when legally threatened by Trump is to be resolute in defence and prepare for court.

You will likely not then have to go to court, as he will fold or settle.

But if you seek to settle from the off, he has got you and he will crush you.
Everyone should stand up to this bully.

Dear Democrats: please hit Trump hard on tariffs. They're bad and unpopular. Take the easy win.

Urgent update.

Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures.

Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

I don’t care how much it costs. I’ll repeat this every single day for the next 3yrs: Any Democrat running for president in 2028 must pledge to immediately tear down/bulldoze/demolish Trump’s ballroom and fully restore the East Wing & any other piece of the People’s House Trump has or will destroy.👇
Trump now says his ballroom will cost $400 million (it was supposed to cost $250 million less than two months ago)

NSF is about to dismantle NCAR at Russell Vought's direction to protect the fossil fuel industry. It's hard to communicate just how much NCAR does, so let's take a look: I've never worked at NCAR, and I've worked with NCAR researchers once ever. What scientific discoveries has NCAR made possible? 👇

The US Administration has banned Americans from *adopting babies* from much of the African continent.

Adopting.

Babies.

What trait do those babies have that, when they grow up as fully American adults, would make them a threat to our country in any form?
On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

I think of all the establishment pundits and corporate columnists who engaged in civility politics for 10 years and told me and other people of color in a paternalistic tone that we were hysterical and reactionary about Trump's racism and we should be nicer to MAGA and...I see Nazi slogans in 2025.

NCAR is quite literally our global mothership.

Everyone who works in climate and weather has passed through its doors and benefited from its incredible resources.

Dismantling NCAR is like taking a sledgehammer to the keystone holding up our scientific understanding of the planet.

Unbelievable.

As a strong supporter of Israel, I completely agree with you. Criticizing Netanyahu or criticizing Israeli policy in Gaza is NOT antisemitism.
The problem is that Netanyahu claims any opposition to his policies is antisemitism. And that is BS.

A quite startling overperformance for Democrats in tonight's special election for a state Senate seat in Kentucky:

Democrat Gary Clemons won 72% to 25%.

He was defending a Dem-held seat where Kamala Harris beat Trump by 5% last year.
