A Bizarre moment when @davidlepofsky raised disability issues with a candidate’s canvasser during the Ontario election campaign! You must read this!https://t.co/s2agbimvWo #OntarioElection#AODA#accessibility
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. https://t.co/9P3FwBvFC9
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.
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.

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?
"We don't take an oath to a king, or queen, or a tyrant or a dictator. And we don't take an oath to a wannabe dictator ...we take an oath to the Constitution ... and we're willing to die to protect it".

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.
