This really is a mighty speech.

The billionaires robbed us blind for 44 years — and we thanked them for it... Will it still work for the GOP? hartmannreport.com/p/economic-s...

President Donald Trump is sending stocks lower again, this time after threatening 50% tariffs on the European Union that could begin in a little more than a week. Apple sank after Trump threatened to put a 25% tariff on its products unless the company moves iPhone manufacturing to the U.S.

@warren.senate.gov: "Republicans wanna do a bomb with a long fuse. They wanna say, 'We're gonna cut healthcare & food help for millions of Americans. We're gonna pass the law now, light the fuse, and it's not gonna explode until right after the 2026 election. That way Republicans can deny reality.'"

Dictators don’t go quietly. They orchestrate fear, silence dissent, and distract with spectacle. Trump’s moves in 2025 suggest he’s not planning to lose power — no matter the cost. hartmannreport.com/p/when-the-t...

1. Major corporations — including AT&T, T-Mobile, United, Uber, and Comcast — have spent years touting their commitment to combating hunger in America. Now these same corporations are publicly supporting a $300 BILLION CUT TO FOOD AID.

We just went up with this: A new hurdle for poor Americans would cause millions to lose coverage, including many who are working but can’t meet stringent reporting rules. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/22/u...

The Trump administration will define “terrorism” as expansively as it can to carry out its censorship agenda. Just ask Rümeysa Öztürk and Mahmoud Khalil. Let’s not hand the president more opportunities to abuse his power.

Xiaomi unveiled its second car, the YU7, in Beijing on Thursday. The electric SUV is set to compete directly with Tesla's best-selling Model Y in China.

My loyal companion Bode died last night of canine lymphoma. Since 2016, he was by my side at work and at play. He was always happy and no matter how bad other things were, he always made me smile. Quite simply, he was the best dog ever. I already miss him terribly.

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

The Golden Dome: Another piece of crap brought to you by that carnival barker, Donald J. Trump.

Republicans are about to strip 13.7 million Americans of healthcare so does anyone know where I can find some nonstop coverage about the previous president being old??

Why the destruction of public institutions, the middle class, and government itself may not be a mistake — but the mission… hartmannreport.com/p/the-bigges...

"Instead of increasing the cost of college in order to give more tax breaks to billionaires," said @sanders.senate.gov, "we are going to make public colleges and universities tuition-free." www.commondreams.org/news/bernie-...

Already decimated honeybee colonies are the latest victims of President Donald Trump's policies, a new report revealed Wednesday.

Plants produce more nectar when they ‘hear’ bees buzzing, scientists find

U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem could not accurately describe the principle of habeas corpus when asked a question that may appear on a junior high school student's civics exam during a Senate hearing. www.commondreams.org/news/habeas-...

"A sane state does not wage war against civilians, does not kill babies as a hobby, and does not set goals for itself like the expulsion of a population," said one progressive Israeli lawmaker.

Student, 23, who lost all four limbs to sepsis calls on people to get meningitis vaccine

Why aren't the governors of every state that borders the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean speaking out against this? What possible benefit do the American get from eliminating the ocean and climate research office? From dismantling the National Hurricane Center?

A staggering 40% of the country’s weather forecast offices have significant staffing vacancies. Some offices can no longer operate overnight – imperiling their ability to warn people of imminent extreme weather.  Make no mistake: DOGE's cuts put American lives at risk.

President Trump is doing more than just turning a blind eye to the fact that the planet is growing hotter. He is weakening the U.S.'s capacity to understand global warming and to prepare for its consequences.

President Trump has pledged to bring more factory work back to the U.S., but many manufacturing jobs are already going unfilled

1. The "big beautiful bill" that Republicans advanced late last night is a massive transfer of wealth from the poorest Americans to the richest. The bottom 20% of earners will see their income DECLINE BY 10%. The top 0.1% will get a GIGANTIC WINDFALL.

When greed replaces justice, and cruelty becomes policy, democracy dies not in darkness—but in plain sight, cheered on by those in power… hartmannreport.com/p/the-great-...

Israeli strikes kill nearly 100 in Gaza on fifth day of offensive https://www.ft.com/content/133cc248-47bb-4b6b-8f0e-a7b6fb7de79e

Pence: "To have POTUS in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror & describing is as nation building & interventionist I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform..particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from"

The DOJ is all in a kerfuffle over James Comey posting (in seashells), 8647. Made me think of the Book of Proverbs: "The wicked flee when none pursueth."

Also, hurricane season starts in two weeks.

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

Those on the high court often exercise caution in their choice of words. That is why it was striking when she used an audience of lawyers to deliver a stern message to the legal profession: stand up for democracy, take on the hard fights and do whatever you can to win.

A flying palace and new crypto bill take Trump's corruption to new heights. Republicans struggle to get their austerity budget across the finish line. And signs of hope in states and cities across the country. We break down this week's biggest stories on today's Klatch.

In his first live interview since his release from ICE detention, Palestinian activist @mohsenofpalestine.bsky.social reflects on the "interconnectedness between injustices."

This is no accident. It’s a coordinated attack on science, safety, and the truth—just in time for hurricane season… hartmannreport.com/p/gutting-th...

Keep banging that drum folks! ✊

WTF?!

Just a reminder for any member of Congress who seems to have forgotten...

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.

Dereliction of duty.

Imagine being worth billions of dollars and deciding to suck up to a guy who ordered the murder and dismemberment of a journalist he didn't like because you might be able to make another billion dollars Maybe just spend the money you have and keep whatever is left of your integrity?

Reminder: when Sean Duffy was a congressman, he and other Republicans voted against upgrading air traffic control systems. Now, he’s trying to blame those systems for Newark airport’s outages – while claiming DOGE’s cuts of critical support staff at the FAA had nothing to do with it. Hello?

Happy Wednesday!

Gosh, I wonder why? 🤨

Me on hour 14 of dragging Republican Medicaid cuts for filth and giving them no end in sight
