- Reposted by Dave MinLet’s talk about impoundment and why it matters. The Constitution gives Congress- ONLY Congress- the power to spend money. By eliminating and redirecting spending for programs like Meals on Wheels, Trump is not only violating the law, he is asserting the powers of a dictator.
- The same guy who told us we could only buy 2 dolls for Christmas this year because of his insane tariffs is now accepting a $400 million luxury airplane from a foreign government that also happens to be the biggest supporter of Hamas. If you're not pissed off, you're not paying attention.
- Republicans like to say there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Qatar has invested $2 billion with Trump’s new ConCoin. They’re giving massive real estate to the Trump kids. And now they gifted Trump a lavish “palace in the sky” airplane. So what is Qatar getting back in return?
- Alarmed at the reports of ICE agents making grossly illegal and unconstitutional arrests around the country. As a reminder, federal employees who brazenly violate people's civil and constitutional rights are still subject to criminal and civil liability. www.law.cornell.edu/wex/qualifie...
- In response to the coming price shocks, we just ordered a ton of paper towels, pasta, and other non-perishable goods. This is the second time in my life we've stockpiled in anticipation of empty shelves, and both times happened under Trump. 🤷♂️ www.cnn.com/2025/05/10/b...
- Trump is telling us we can only buy 2 dolls each this Christmas and just have to deal with higher prices... even as he's redecorating the Oval Office in 24 karat gold and insisting on a $45m North Korea-style military parade to honor him. Serious shades of Marie Antoinette "let them eat cake" here.
- Apropos of nothing, I think Woke Marxist Pope would be a great name for a band.
