Gilchrist: Even if he had a goal that was in the interests of the people of Michigan, this is not the team I would trust to actually get it done. They’re so incompetent that they made a deal they claim is supposed to help American manufacturing—but it literally hurts Michigan manufacturers.

When it comes to a choice between money and morality, Trump comes down on the side of money.

😭😭😭😭🎻🎻😂😂😂😂

The rule of law is all or nothing and must apply equally to everyone. If there's no rule of law for some people in America, then there's no rule of law for any of us.

The VA has abruptly ended the only low-interest, affordable loan modification option for thousands of vets who are behind on their mortgages. If you're a vet at risk of foreclosure, we want to hear your story.

This is the official White House account.

The only proper reaction 👇🏽

None of the official ABC tweets or clips from the Trump interview tonight feature the most important clip of all: a demented Trump repeatedly and falsely claiming, and seeming bizarrely to believe, that Albrego Garcia literally had the letters and numbers MS13 on his knuckles.

Arrest

I watched a bit of the 50th anniversary parade in Vietnam celebrating victory over the US. Not only was that war stupid for us to involve our country but I had a glimpse of some young people who had their lives ruined.

Most countries have forgiven Germany and Japan for the atrocities of WWll. One exception is China. They hate Japan/Japanese. Chinese kids are raised to hate the Japanese even though most Chinese have never met a Japanese person.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

According to Kash Patel’s own financial disclosure statement, he pocketed $25,000 from a production company operated by a filmmaker associated with a Kremlin-subsidized propaganda project, a pro-Putin oligarch, and a pro-Kremlin disinformation agent. @davidcorn.bsky.social's NEW video explains:

It’s interesting that secret service told reporters the guy who stole Noem’s purse what a white male, then they wait a week and DHS says it was an undocumented migrant but refuses to give any other details.

As he wrote, "No matter what deal I make with respect to Russia/Ukraine, no matter how good it is, even if it’s the greatest deal ever made, The Failing New York Times will speak BADLY of it. Liddle’ Peter Baker, the very biased and untalented writer for The Times… www.rawstory.com/trump-rages-...

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation. I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

Lots of protests today! Everybody hit the streets! Make sure you’re connecting with your local #Resisters! ✊🏾✊🏿✊✊🏼✊🏽

🤣🤣🤣

You broke it, you bought it. t.co/hHXdks6ejw

3 U.S. citizens, ages 2, 4 and 7, swiftly deported from Louisiana Cruelty is the point… “One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors, the family’s lawyer said.” apple.news/AcI0RzZKDQqa...

MVGA. I'd bet that if Donald wanted to be Pope he could find the votes and there would be no need for future papal elections.

A headline from Hell. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

Cooper: Wow, his image is being shown on a monitor.. that's why you hear people actually applauding. They're applauding President Zelenskyy when he appeared on some of the Jumbotrons

WISCONSIN: The chair of the elections commission, a lawyer, breaks down what actually happened using the actual complaint. Arresting judges like this is a wild fast-forwarding of our plunge into authoritarianism.

Reminder: His healthcare plan is also a few weeks out.

An alarming escalation. thehill.com/regulation/c...

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

Today is Day 11. Still no deals.

How can you stand against woke and racism at the same time? This doesn’t even make any sense, Jeff.
