The Trump regime is the most corrupt government in US history.

Bookmarked for the inevitable surrender.

Q: "What would have happened to you if you had shared battle plans like this when you were a pilot?" Rep. Mikie Sherrill: "Like everyone else except Pete Hegseth, evidently, I would've been court-marshaled and drummed out of the military. This is absolutely ridiculous."

Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after. But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.

No, you really don't "have to ask yourself" this. The right to criticize the government, even for *lawful* policies (let alone what Trump is trying to do), is not just central to the First Amendment's protection of free speech; it is one of the most critically important features of *any* democracy.

How did I know they would completely defund Headstart? They wrote it down in Project 2025 .

The Golden Age of Corruption

Historians will propose in due course a name for this current phase we are witnessing in the United States. My early submission: The Great Dismantling.

Good lord. This is an Utah State Senator. “If we can solve any extradition issues.” No need to worry about that pesky 8th Amendment…

Whiskileaks part 2

BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

😬

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

Literally “if you ask us to prove he’s a terrorist, then maybe YOU are a terrorist!”

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

You cannot legally send Americans to an El Salvadorian prison no matter what they have done. Plain and simple.

It’s almost as though everyone in Trump’s orbit, inside and outside government, gets together on a (non-secure) Zoom call to decide “What’s the most corrupt and illegal thing we can do today? And on some days they can’t reach consensus so they just go ahead and do them all.

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

The possibility of abduction by a sovereign and imprisonment abroad is one criterion that separates democracies from dictatorships. The Declaration of Independence called the British king tyrannical for transporting Americans, “beyond Seas to be tried for pretended Offenses.”

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

It took only 84 days to get to "deporting citizens, born in the U.S., to dangerous foreign prisons without due process."

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Global Central Banks dumped U.S. Stocks last month at the fastest pace in history 🚨

So. Much. Winning. Today. 🙄

I am but a humble cable news host with a bachelor’s in philosophy, but I feel like at some point the bond market is also going to notice that the GOP is going to pass a deficit financed 5 trillion dollar tax cut. Maybe?

We are literally being led by the dumbest people alive

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: Australia 0 Canada 0 Denmark 0 Finland 0 France 0 Germany 0 Iceland 0 Ireland 0 Italy 0 Japan 0 Netherlands 0 Norway 0 Portugal 0 Spain 0 Sweden 0 UK 0 United States 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

Market has already shaved off over a quarter of the gains from yesterday’s rally as investors realize “wait a minute…a lot of tariffs really are still on!” Utterly stupefying behavior. We really did witness the largest pump and dump in history take place yesterday, huh?

JUST IN: Egg prices hit an all-time high in March. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today that a dozen eggs averaged $6.227 last month, up from $5.897 in February. So. Much. Winning.

“It’s the most extraordinary attack on voting rights in American history,” Wilentz said. “This is an attempt to destroy American democracy as we know it. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

Only a mentally ill person would think they can be a draft dodger, consistently insult veterans, active duty military, and dead heroes, and think they deserve to have a military parade in their own honor… Just sick!

He just testified all morning about the reasons why the tariff policy was going to make America great. Then he checked his phone and realized everything he just said was canceled on Truth Social.

“Money is pouring in like no one has ever seen before,” he said today. Just for the record, the tariffs haven’t started yet.

You’d think when you’re claiming the richest country in the world can’t afford childhood cancer research you might wait a year before throwing yourself a 100 million dollar birthday parade. But carpe diem, suckers.

Insider trading much? Didn’t Martha Stewart go to prison for that? Just curious 🤔 Good morning all!
