Elon Musk, the richest man on Earth, is rooting around in Social Security and Medicare payment systems.
He’s reaching his hands into our pockets and firing anyone who tries to stop him.
This reeks of corruption — it must stop. salon.com/2025/01/31/musk-pu…

American auto stocks plummeted after the White House confirmed it’ll impose 25% tariffs on Mexico & Canada tomorrow (and 10% on China).
The trade barriers spell disaster for US automakers, whose supply chains are deeply entwined with our North American neighbors.

It’s Econ 101: Oil prices are too low for companies to increase exploration & production. Even if Trump wants it, oil companies won’t spend the money at current price levels.
So what's Trump wishing for? Higher oil prices? That would make his billionaire oil friends happy.

On Monday night, Trump attempted a one-man government shutdown led by his budget office.
Today—behind closed doors—Senate Republicans moved his nominee to run that office forward.
Let’s talk about what this all means.

Transgender people make up 0.1% of the military, so naturally, Trump is putting all his energy into ruining their lives

This is pretty simple to understand.
Trump isn’t running anything. The billionaires are.
Specifically, one billionaire - Elon Musk - who wants to cut Medicaid, funding for elementary schools, and cancer research so he and his billionaire friends can take the money.
Sources tell WIRED that OPM’s top layers of management now include individuals linked to xAI, Neuralink, the Boring Company, and Palantir. One expert found the takeover reminiscent of Stalin. wired.trib.al/LosApTW

I'm told that President Trump's attempted funding freeze caused @samhsagov officials in charge of the 988 National Suicide Hotline to study whether they have to shut it down -- even as it takes 20,000 calls a day. Does Trump really think that preventing suicide is woke?

Tim Kaine tells federal employees to ignore Trump’s offer to quit w/ pay for months. “Don’t be fooled. He’s tricked hundreds of people w/ that offer. If you accept that offer & resign he’ll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn’t have any authority to do this.”

The freezing of federal grants, the firing of all inspector generals, the immunization of political violence - does everybody not see what’s happening?
In a blitzkrieg, Trump is trying to collapse our democracy - and probably our economy - and seize control.
Call it what it is.

To “punish” Colombia, Trump is about to make every American pay even more for coffee.
Remember: *WE* pay the tariffs, not Colombia.
Trump is all about making inflation WORSE for working class Americans, not better. He’s lining the pockets of himself and the billionaire class.
NEWS
After President Petro of Colombia denied entry of two US repatriation flights of Colombian migrants, President Trump has announced these retaliatory measures.
Petro said he wouldn’t allow the flights in until Trump establishes a protocol for the dignified treatment of migrants.
ALT I was just informed that two repatriation flights from the US, with a large number of Illegal Criminals, were not allowed to land in Colombia. This order was given by Colombia's Socialist President Gustavo Petro, who is already very unpopular amongst his people. Petro's denial of these flights has jeopardized the National Security and Public Safety of the US, so I have directed my Administration to immediately take the following urgent and decisive retaliatory measures: -Emergency 25% tariffs on all goods coming into the United States. In one week, the 25% tariffs will be raised to 50%. -A Travel Ban and immediate Visa Revocations on the Colombian Government Officials, and all Allies and Supporters. -Visa Sanctions on all Party Members, Family Members, and Supporters of the Colombian Government. -Enhanced Customs and Border Protection Inspections of all Colombian Nationals and Cargo on national security grounds. -IEEPA Treasury, Banking and Financial Sanctions to be fully imposed.

The stop work order for aid programs is plain dystopian. A murder work order.

Authoritarian regimes rely on fear to make people comply in advance. Do not comply in advance. Do not comply at all.

Nothing trickled down.

Walmart paid $9 billion less in taxes after Trump's tax cuts.
Target paid $3 billion less. Verizon paid $10 billion less. AT&T paid $8 billion less.
Notice how those tax breaks didn't incentivize any of these corporations to lower prices?
Corporate tax cuts don't lower costs.
