Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Maybe you’re right Chris Cillizza, but the more likely scenario is this has nothing to do with anything other than power. This is more akin to the exec orders directed at law firms and higher ed. All about power. Make corporate America beg next. See the thread of Chris Murphy 🟧

Normally there are no hearings for US Atty nominees because normally the President, regardless of political party, nominates lawyers that receive bipartisan support for their views upholding the rule of law. But these are not normal times. Call or write Chuck Grassley and demand

Trump invited himself to the U of A – so now, I'm inviting you to show the world that Alabama and the rest of America have had enough. My friend Humberto monsalve O’Rourke and I will be in Tuscaloosa tomorrow in Snow Hinton Park. If you’re anywhere around we’d love to see you there.

Ed Martin has honored a Nazi sympathizer and then lied about it. Trump says he wants to fight anti-semitism but yet nominates this guy to be US Atty in DC? Those dots don’t connect folks. Call your Senators and tell them to actually fight anti-semitism and reject Ed Martin

If there is one thing that I know about Joe Biden from our many years of friendship, it that he is a fighter. Louise and I will continue to lift up Joe and Jill in our prayers as they face the challenges ahead as we wish him the speediest of recoveries.

On this Memorial Day please take a break from your beer and BBQ and read the piece below. And then refelct. The title is as provocative as the content: Are we worthy of their sacrifice? Did they die so that a President could so brazenly, and many would argue corruptly, sell

With his pardons, which are more self serving for himself than the criminals he has pardoned, and his decison to ignore white collar crime, Trump has essential “de-funded the federal police.” nytimes.com/2025/05/29/us/… nytimes.com/2025/05/29/us/… via @NYTimes

Those who care about democracy should pay close attention to the events in LA. Is the USA sleepwalking toward authoritarianism? Are we already there? Please join me tomorrow as I discuss this and more with experts Heather Cox Richardson & Steven Levitsky. americanprogress.org/events/droppin…

What happened today to a United States Senator is outrageous and the so-called justifications by the Adminstration are total BS! Here’s why
