A parking space in LA costs $25 an hour, verses a real person with thoughts and feelings working a minimum wage job makes less than a fucking parking space - let that sink in.

Trump administration begins refunding more than $166bn in tariffs Claims system launches months after supreme court ruled Trump had no legal authority to impose tariffs

So you and I and everyone else are in effect now refunding American corporations for import tariffs, although we paid for most of them in the form of higher prices — which they won’t now lower because they have monopoly power to keep prices high.

The Art of the Deal.

A world of grief and pain
flowers bloom
even then.

"Not another nickel, not another dime, no more for Trump's war crimes/the cost of war is too damn high."

SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “The faithless president depicts himself as Christ while he plunges the nation into wars of choice… Remember — While you pay more for everything, the First Family’s wealth is growing by billions. Because they’re crooks, and everybody knows it.”

This should be the official portrait in the Whitehouse!

One day in the fight for democracy The Trump administration badly wants these records from all 50 states and has sued 30 states that refused its demands. My law firm is fighting the DOJ in all of them.

My Friday began with some really good news. I wrote about the busy day that followed. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/one-...

How interesting that 'the pope' of American apocalyptic white Christian nationalism never goes to church on Sunday morning but instead picks that time to tweet out genocidal threats to kill millions of people

Blue graphic with an image of a absentee ballot in the background reading "Millions of people depend on voting by mail, including: People with disabilities People juggling multiple jobs Seniors People without access to transportation Service members and their families People in rural areas And more President Trump shouldn’t be making it harder for us to vote."

President Trump’s new executive order attempts to restrict mail-in voting, which would make it more difficult for millions of people to cast a vote.

We’re taking him to court to protect our right to participate in our democracy.

James Talarico (D-TX) explains how #TrumpRiggedYourTaxReturn with his Big, Ugly Bill. The top 1% get $177 billion in tax cuts while the bottom 95% pay more. On top of paying more in taxes households are paying about $1700/year because of tariffs and now fuel is at $4 a gallon. Shameful!!

For nearly three months, Ukrainians in the Russian-occupied front-line city of Oleshky in Kherson Oblast have faced dire humanitarian conditions, with almost no safe route for evacuation or food deliveries, as Russian troops mined access roads and made it dangerous to enter or leave the city.

Disney's new CEO, whose pay package is worth nearly $45M, just announced 1,000 layoffs.

Reminder that Disney paid an effective federal income tax rate of ZERO in 2025 and aims to buy back $7B of its own stock in 2026.

This is what corporate greed looks like.

Key Trump lawyer who tried to overturn 2020 election permanently disbarred Eastman has remained active in election denial circles, continuing to push conspiracy theories about voting and elections.

🚨BREAKING: John Eastman — who helped lead Trump's effort to overturn the 2020 election — has been permanently disbarred by the California Supreme Court.

The ruling delivers one of the most significant professional consequences yet for an election denier.

Trump depicting himself as Jesus Christ is the very definition of what the Antichrist would do, is it not?

Isn’t it?!

We must stop this hate-filled, corrupt regime.

I like Presidents who DON'T tweet.

If Melania *really* thought people were lying about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, she would have sued them for defamation to clear her name under oath, not deliver a lame speech full of lies for television.”

This is a good analogy.
