He must be the witch.

Trump's presidency so far has cost a staggering amount for American taxpayers. He has golfed a full 25% of his presidency at a cost of almost $52 M. Add to that his $45 M birthday parade, and we're in the hole for almost $100 M. Are you OK with this when he's slashing Medicaid?

Trump and Musk might not care what the Department of Education does, but for kids like Aiden, it means everything.

Boom. Greg Casar with the simple & strong messaging I want to see from every Dem: “What Republicans & Trump-Musk want is, they want to look into your kid’s lunch money, your kid’s teacher’s salary. They want to take the money & give it out in billionaire tax cuts.” More of this.

Shock Doctrine, the OODA Loop, and the Cognitive Paralysis of a Nation There’s a reason everything feels like chaos right now. It’s not an accident—it’s a strategy. What Trump and his enablers are doing is straight out of the Shock Doctrine playbook: create relentless crises, overload people’s capacity to process events, and then exploit the confusion to consolidate power. The goal? Keep the public in a reactive, disoriented state—so exhausted that they stop resisting. In military and police strategy, we talk about the OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act). It’s how people process and respond to fast-moving situations. If you can disrupt an opponent’s OODA Loop—by overwhelming them with uncertainty, false information, or sheer unpredictability—you gain control. They hesitate, freeze, and become incapable of effective action. As a cognitive scientist, I see the exact same thing happening at a societal level. This kind of sustained chaos hijacks our mental bandwidth, creating a state similar to learned helplessness—except instead of giving up after repeated failure, people stop resisting because they don’t even know where to begin. Every day brings a new scandal, a new outrage, a new existential crisis. The brain’s natural response? Shut down. Here’s the key: once people stop believing their actions matter, the game is lost. That’s the whole point. So what do we do? - Recognize the strategy. Naming the tactic strips it of its power. - Refuse to be reactionary. If we let them control our attention, they control the battlefield. - Prioritize, focus, and act with intent. We can’t fight everything at once, but we can choose our battles wisely. - Support real accountability. Don’t just follow the outrage cycle—demand consequences where they matter. This is not about politics. It’s about psychological warfare. And the moment we see it for what it is, we stop playing their game. Let’s break the loop. #ShockDoctrine #CognitiveWarfare #OODA #ResistDisorientation @DALupton @ChrisCuomo

🚨NEW: Speaker Mike Johnson and House Republicans have released the proposed Trump Tax Cuts, which include a tax increase on single parents, taxing college scholarships for students, and raising taxes for homeowners. RETWEET to let the American people know what they voted for!

Lloyd Austin was confirmed 93–2. Mark Esper was confirmed 90–8. James Mattis was confirmed 98–1. Ashton Carter was confirmed 93–5. Leon Panetta was confirmed 100–0. Robert Gates was confirmed 95–2. Pete Hegseth will likely be confirmed at 50-50. Most unqualified nominee in American history.

Republicans on the House Budget Committee just revealed 45 potential tax law changes. I reviewed them all so that you don't have to. Here's everything you need to know:

There’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothing.

Biden should go all out on climate for the next 75 days. Declare a climate emergency. Get all the IRA money out the door. Permit new transmission lines. Stop new LNG exports. Ban drilling on public lands. Make a mountain of progress for Trump to try and undo.

Coloradans! As a reminder, if you have not yet voted, it is TOO LATE to mail in your ballot! Drop it off at your nearest ballot drop or polling location to ensure your vote gets counted: sos.state.co.us/pubs/electio…

Dear young people. We need to talk. I am deeply concerned by how many of you continue to suggest that you will not vote. I am reaching out to you as a dad and as someone who has worked with many of you because I am a dad whose daughter was murdered in school because of gun violence. I have listened to young people from across the country who have shared their fears with me over gun violence, and their futures, and have told me about their anxiety because of active shooter drills. We worked together to pass the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act and to bring to reality the Office of Gun Violence Prevention to the White House. We were only able to do these incredible things because we voted, and we voted for people who respected our rights to be safe. Over the years I have listened to many of you tell me how you believed that young people would do a better job at governing than my generation. Who knows, you may be right. I have listened to many of you tell me how you plan to be future leaders and plan to make a difference as soon as possible. I have also listened to you follow that up by telling me that you may not vote. I just don’t get it. You can’t talk about change, and you can’t talk about being a leader, and not vote. Here is my concern for all of you who want to be the change we need and who want to lead. If you fail to vote in this election, you may never get the chance. If you fail to vote, even as a protest, and Trump wins as a result of YOUR FAILURE NOT TO VOTE, your ability to be the change makers is lost. Your ability to be our future leaders will end. If he wins, his words about ending Democracy and future elections should send a clear message. The message to young people, should Trump win because you did not vote, is simple. If he wins, you lose. If you mean what you say about wanting to do a better job and wanting to lead, IT BEGINS NOW. If you mean what you say, the only way that you can show your commitment to your own beliefs IS TO VOTE NOW!!! If you believe what you say about wanting to continue the work on reducing gun violence, you know how to vote and you know who to vote for. If you believe what you say about bodily autonomy, you know how to vote and you know who to vote for. If you believe what you say about climate change, you know how to vote and you know who to vote for. If you believe what you say about protecting voting rights and making voting more accessible, you know how to vote and you know who to vote for. Theare so many issues that I could go through, and you would know how to vote and know who to vote for. We may not agree on everything with every issue, but this is Democracy. You can only protect Democracy if you participate in it and the most powerful way to do that is to vote. I will be voting for @KamalaHarris and @Tim_Walz, and down ballot for a Congress that they can work with, because I want to protect your futures. I want to protect your rights to be future leaders. I hope that you want to do so as well. It will only happen if you vote. DO NOT SIT THIS ONE OUT. JUST FUCKING VOTE!!!

Spot on!!!! Why any man can think they can make decisions for women’s health is beyond me!!!

Stay steady, Friends. This is a moment that calls for our attention, discernment, and compassion. We are in the middle of a story that history will hold and we are now living inside. May we continue to do the work that is ours to do as we keep the “open space of democracy” open and remember “The human heart is the first home of democracy. It is where we embrace our questions. Can we be equitable? Can we be generous? Can we listen with our whole beings, not just our minds, and offer our attention rather than our opinions? And do we have enough resolve in our hearts to act courageously, relentlessly, without giving up—ever—trusting our fellow citizens to join with us in our determined pursuit of a living democracy.” TTW
