“The Presidency is not merely an administrative office. That’s the least of it. It is more than an engineering job, efficient or inefficient. It is pre-eminently a place of moral leadership.”
— Franklin D. Roosevelt, September 1932
The partisan split in US is rural-urban though. Not neatly territorial despite the "redstate-bluestate" framing.
Oooph
"Improperly"
Who paid the tariffs? Consumers who gets the refund? Businesses who pays for the refund? Taxpayers this has all been so much fun. I’m so glad we all get to keep winning like this.
So, we didn’t just pay for the tariffs, we paid for the tariffs twice?
It's a wing nut revenge tour using our DoJ as their tort lawyers?
Trump's DoJ has indicted The Southern Poverty Law Center on fraud charges alleging it improperly raised millions of dollars to pay informants to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan and other extremist groups to "manufacture extremism."
What a waste of time.

Erasure
200,000 acres of Native Hawaiian land. 100 years of federal trust obligation.
Trump's move: reclassify them as a racial group, not a tribal nation. Same land. New legal category. Zero obligation.
That's not a budget cut. That's a legal erasure. #taxtherich
Trump never works, there are no ‘policy meetings’ he snorts Adderall in the morning & watches TV, does a phoner w/supplicant press and then hands out a trophy in late afternoon. It’s adult day care for a drug addict. Weekends he golfs in Palm Beach.
Sort of like their approach to racism. "It's only racist if you mention racism."
Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”
Great list

Emails released on Monday by California’s attorney general show Amazon allegedly colluding with other companies to raise the prices of pet treats, khaki pants, eyedrops and other products sold online
Screenshot from Mastodon, white text on black background: Erik Uden @ErikUden@mastodon.de Once libraries are nonexistent any modern fascist movement wouldn't even have to burn books, but flick one switch and they'd be remotely deleted from your Amazon Kindle or similar digital "library". Capitalists are already building the infrastructure to do this through DRM, so stop believing tech is apolitical - the defunding of libraries and paywalling of information are all part of this.
A reminder during #NationalLibraryWeek, libraries are our best and last defense against the fascist monopoly on knowledge and information
The Republicans have made child-birth back into a life-risking act and then wonder at the drop in pregnancy rates.
Trump suing the IRS, that he controls, for $10 Billion should be at the top of the news cycle.
It's a great way to funnel taxpayer money into Evergenital households.
I don't think he did.
You mean the WSO who walked 100 miles from "crash" to "retrieval" through mountainous terrain in 24 hours without detection?
Must be why the Corrupt Roberts Court declared "gratuities" to judges "legal"
If you think legislation that targets “low enrollment degrees” only impacts the humanities please look at this list. Degrees in chemistry, math, physics, political science, data analytics, psychology and economics are being eliminated. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/04/16/o...
"Subservient wives" is more accurate
We need to find a legal way to crush Palantir, CoreCivic, Geo, and other corporations who have funneled billions to CEOs and oligarchs who want us surveilled, incarcerated, and oppressed.
It's not enough to destroy these companies. We need rescission of funds immorally acquired by the fascists.
Well that says a lot ...
