Actual sequence of events: you wandered in, I handed my beer to @jlev saying "hold my beer," hurdled the augmented ping pong table, landed in a pack of hyper-instruments, swung from a smart rope™, dodged some "behavior change" robots, THEN slapped the Kool Aid out your mitts.

Thankful that I happened to land in a group of some of the most critical and thoughtful people at the Media Lab when I wandered in all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed a decade ago. @csik slapped that Kool Aid right out of my hands.

Reminder that Congress could, at any time, pass legislation canceling these tariffs and then vote to override a veto. As prices rise and your 401(k) falls, don't let lawmakers get away with acting like powerless observers of the onslaught. Together they can kill it if they want.

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.

Wanna hear how Republicans talked about tariffs before Trump castrated all of them?

They care more about protecting a Tesla dealership than our Capitol building.

Pam Bondi: "If you're gonna touch a Tesla, go to a dealership, do anything, you better watch out, because we're coming after you."

When you consider that businesses are run by dictators—that a firm is not a democracy—it makes sense that the guys at the top of the capitalist world think government can be run without following any laws. motherjones.com/politics/2025/…

I hope Senate Democrats understand there is nothing clever about setting up a fake failed 30 day CR first to turn around & vote for cloture on the GOP spending bill. Those games won’t fool anyone. It won’t trick voters, it won’t trick House members. People will not forget it.

The world will become a very cold and lonely place if we continue this ridiculous “screw you, go it alone” foreign policy. It’s dumb and it won’t age well and puts you and your kids and your grandkids at risk. America is the strongest, richest country in the world. We didn’t get…

Just left Ukraine. What I saw proved to me we can’t give up on the Ukrainian people. Everyone wants this war to end, but any agreement has to protect Ukraine’s security and can’t be a giveaway to Putin. Let me tell you about my trip and why it’s important we stand with Ukraine.🧵
