Trump and all of his enablers must be held accountable for the insurrection he has been fomenting since before he entered the White House. Investigate ALL the facts. Indict, try, seek convictions by juries, and sentence according to law. No immunity; no impunity.

FUN FACT: For over 10 years, during which his salary reached $200,000/year and, with outside income included, his total reached multiples of that, Andrew Cuomo and friend (until she wasn't) were provided a New York rent-stabilized housing unit for which he paid $0.00 a month.

Keilar: You’re taking issue with the CBO estimate?

Burchett: The office is very partisan…

Keilar: So in January 2024, there was a Republican who trusted the CBO so much that they reintroduced a resolution to require the house clerk to read the CBO estimate of any bill. I believe that was you, sir.

If you’re not attending Trump’s military exploitation birthday party in DC next month, consider joining one of the “No Kings” events happening across the country on June 14. My guest today @ezralevin from Indivisible explains how you can get involved.

June 14 is No Kings Day! Ezra Levin on the power of peaceful protest https://t.co/FHlQuMmT4q

[ADAPT Kentucky ♿ @kyblueblood]

On June 14, 2025, a nationwide protest known as “No Kings Day” is set to take place, coinciding with #DonaldTrump’s 79th birthday and a planned military parade in Washington, D.C. Organized by a coalition including Indivisible, 50501, and other pro-democracy groups, the protests aim to counter what they view as authoritarian displays by the Trump administration. The Los Angeles event is scheduled from 10 AM to 2 PM in Downtown LA, with similar demonstrations planned across all 50 states. Organizers emphasize nonviolent action and encourage participants to reject symbols of authoritarianism and uphold democratic values.  

The protests are a response to concerns over the administration’s actions, including the use of military displays for personal glorification and policies perceived as undermining democratic institutions. By mobilizing citizens nationwide, the “No Kings” movement seeks to reaffirm the principles of democracy and the rule of law. Participants are encouraged to find local events through platforms like https://t.co/YtNp9xfFde and https://t.co/Pats1POKKC.

He’s treating us all like idiots. And many people are loyally choosing to respond like idiots.

BREAKING:

Trump's Alien Enemies Act Proclamation is "unlawful" — because there is no "declared war," "invasion," or "predatory incursion" under the statute, a federal judge in Texas ruled.

That judge was appointed by Trump.

The Suburban Solutions Caucus consists of representatives of districts 54B, 41B, 45A, 34A, 41A, and 57B. And they offer testimonials from residents of Minnetonka, Woodbury, Bloomington, and Stillwater. Unless I am misreading maps, not a single constituent any of them represents.

My first living memory is the tornadoes on May 6, 1965.
Its the biggest outbreak in Twin Cities history.
I'll share memories and meteorology of the 1965 outbreak next Tuesday May 6 at an event for the Lake Minnetonka Historical Society in Mound.

The MMR vaccine does not, in fact, contain any aborted fetus debris.

[James Surowiecki @JamesSurowiecki]

This is truly amazing. The Deputy White House Press Secretary is claiming that I'm wrong, and that the "tariff rates" on Trump's chart were calculated by "literally" measuring every country's tariffs and non-tariff trade barriers.

To prove it, he screenshots the formula the USTR says was used to calculate the reciprocal tariffs we imposed on other countries. And when you back out the Greek symbols, what is that formula? Trade deficit/imports - exactly what I said it was.

I don't know if the Deputy Press Secretary was misinformed, or is just being misleading. Either way, the Trump administration did not "literally calculate tariff and non tariff barriers" to determine the tariff rates it's imposing on other countries. As I said, it divided our trade deficit with a country by our imports with that country, and then multiplied by 0.5 (because Trump was being "lenient").

Oh, and if our trade deficit/imports with a country is less than 10%, or we have a trade surplus with a country, Trump slapped a flat 10% tariff on that country.

That only works if you’re not actually crazy, I’m afraid.
