NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

This is the best day of the Trump administration since he lost in 2020

Any bets on what Elon’s nickname is going to be from the Orange taint? I’m going with Ketamine K-Ren

Wow. Avelo airlines has covered up their logo to hide the fact that they're helping with mass deportation. Avelo's customer service number is (346) 616-9500. Feel free to give them a call and tell them how you feel about them.

Trump signed an EO overnight directing the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop funding public. Contact your Congressional rep to voice your support for public media media here: protectmypublicmedia.org?utm_source=I...

URGENT: This is not a crime A judge has the authority in her courthouse to excuse a defendant for God's sake Trump tried this in 1st term & he was thrown out of court 👉 www.courtlistener.com/docket/14997... PS the violation here was Patel's tweet & that's why he deleted. I'll be filing complaint

If it’s true that their only “evidence” against this judge is that she advised someone to leave out a side door, this is complete banana republic bullshit and should be unequivocally condemned by both parties.

BREAKING: MeidasTouch has won the Webby Award for 2025 Podcast of the Year! Thank you for this incredible honor. None of this would be possible without this incredible pro-democracy community. Shoutout to the Meidas Mighty!

The NYT confirms this photo was intentionally staged: "A Bukele aide placed the two glasses with cherries and salted rims on the table in front of Van Hollen and Abrego Garcia in the middle of their meeting in an attempt to stage the photo." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/u...

How the hell did Andrew Tate get out of Romania but Trump can’t do anything about Kilmer Abrego Garcia?

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

Referring to citizens as “home-growns” while asking a foreign country known for prisons that operate like black sites to build more of those prisons so he can send those “home-growns” is fascist stuff and it needs to be called as such.

Trump’s approval among 18-29 year olds has gone from +5 to -29 👀

OMFG.

White House: we want reciprocal tariffs Vietnam: fine, let’s do zero percent White House: fuck you Absolute clown car administration

The Trump economic mindset.

FOR NO REASON WHATSOEVER, I am re-upping this story @swin24.bsky.social and I wrote about the last Trump administration. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The president’s first message after markets open.

I was told that Trump would be good for the economy.

NEWS: A federal judge has ordered the return of a Salvadoran man who the Trump administration admits was erroneously deported to his home country despite a court order saying he had credible fear of persecution. This sets up a potential clash w the White House. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

One man’s temper tantrum to feel powerful is having devestating consequences

CNN: Stock market plummets MSNBC: Stock market craters Highlights for Children: Stock market down big FOX News:

The Nasdaq is on track for its biggest one-day drop since March 2020 — the last time Trump presided over a recession.

Trump's tariffs will translate into a 2.3 percentage point increase to overall inflation this year, according to new estimates from the Yale Budget Lab — or about a $3,800 impact for the average household.

He's an overachiever, I'll grant him that.

More than 275,000 layoffs were announced in March, reaching a level not seen since the pandemic. Donald "Herbert Hoover" Trump strikes again.

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and I had to drive my parents 200 miles to a Social Security office, but at least I know that immigrants are getting sent to torture prisons in El Salvador.

scoop: Eugene Robinson is leaving The Washington Post, per an email he sent to the staff this morning

Link includes call script (which you can also use as email tempate) to call your representative/senator.

Why would a leader tank his own country's economy? It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook. Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump. But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time. Let your reps hear from you. 5calls.org/issue/trump-...

on CNBC, @carlquintanilla.bsky.social describes the Trump administration as "burning down the house to cook a steak."

I’m no economist, but…

FUCK!

And it starts… meidasnews.com/news/stellan...

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.

Ask Wisconsin!

The Florida democrats made ~20 point gains in these house races. That deserves respect and thanks. 🙏

Republicans are performing 20 points poorer in Florida than they did just 5 months ago. The Trump slump is in full bloom.

I know folks are disappointed about Josh Weil losing this special House election in Florida, but let the big picture give you optimism: Republicans won this seat by +33 points just five months ago. We're likely looking at a +20 point swing in support toward Democrats. This is enormous. This is GOOD.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

It took just two months to drive two of our closest and most important allies into China's arms.

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.
