I really need Democratic lawmakers to understand that we're fed up with them simply posting on social media "this has to stop" without calling for specific actions to make it stop.
We know this needs to stop. We elected you. Tell us what needs to be done to make it stop.
Excited to announce I'm starting a new column at Bloomberg about the business of fashion. The first piece is about how to re-shore US apparel manufacturing. Instead of using mass deportations and tariffs, the government should move the industry upstream. 🧵
The current plan will raise clothing prices while creating few good jobs. So instead, we should focus on making luxury goods that we can export abroad. This hasn't worked in the past bc the government offers little support. But this can change. Gift link:

I said this last year, and I'll say it again:
Part of our responsibility as citizens is to make those working for ICE as miserable as possible.
Not just non-cooperation but actively looking for any non-violent and legal way to increase their stress and anxiety.

God I hate this shit. What the fuck Jack Black? Any conservative who got in trouble for telling a joke this soft would be embraced by the right but of course the only change rich Hollywood liberals want is one that won’t interfere with their income streams
Five stories from just the last 24 hours:
1. Minnesota police chief says ICE has been unconstitutionally stopping & pulling guns on *his own* off-duty officers who are brown/black.
2. The Social Security Administration referred two DOGE employees for Hatch Act violations after discovering contacts with a political group seeking SSA data to overturn election results.
3. Canada struck a historic trade deal with China, declaring them more "predictable" than the U.S., then its PM warned of a rupture with the U.S. and the "end of the rules-based international order."
4. Trump quietly pardoned a slew of more white collar criminals, almost all of whom were convicted of fraud.
5. NYTimes released an editorial documenting how Trump has made $1.4 billion (with a "b") dollars off the presidency in his first year in office -- just on the publicly documented trades and transactions.
That's legitimately 24 hours of news, and it's just scratching the surface.
