For those around the world wondering whats going on in the US right now, this is what the administration has decided to do to claw back cash to pay for more tax cuts for the 1%. Keep in mind even with all this destruction to protections & services... the national debt will balloon to pay for it.

If Walmart, with their buying power, is saying they have to raise prices, that means that EVERYONE will be raising prices. Hey MAGA, is this what “winning” looks like?

Hey Mr. Tapper, is there any timeline for reporting on Donald Trump's clear pattern of cognitive deterioration? I figured you'd be a great person to ask given that you've done so much research and reporting on this area of medicine. @jaketapper.bsky.social

EXCLUSIVE: We dug up a video of Donald Trump trashing Qatar in 2017 calling them “funders of terrorism.” I’m sure he would hate if this clip changed their mind to give him a $400 million plane - so definitely don’t repost it.

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?

A 14-year-old American boy and his two friends were gunned down by Israeli soldiers Sunday night. Their largely American village in the West Bank is wondering why Trump and the U.S. government have said so little about the killing of one of its citizens.

This blueprint sets the foundation for cuts to Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, and other critical federal programs—no other way for $1.5 TRILLION in cuts without doing so. Exactly why I voted a hard NO in the Senate.

The stages in a Donald Trump deal: 1. Lie about something being a problem 2. Do something to "fix" it, which causes an actual problem 3. Say you won't reverse what you've done 4. Reverse what you've done 5. Say "Art of the deal"

Think about how much of an entitled prick you’d have to be to think calling other human beings “peasants” when you’re the Vice President is an ok thing to do. The world’s worst diplomat strikes again. Also: we don’t borrow money from them. That is nonsense.

The gaslighting and deflections must stop. It's disrespectful to the many thousands of military, intelligence, and diplomatic professionals who take care to protect our sensitive and classified information every day. Take responsibility, investigate the spillage, and hold people accountable. 👊🤨🔥

When I worked at NATO, benign details about war game simulations were classified, much less particulars about actual attacks. The idea that this info wouldn't have been classified is a total fantasy (and an outright lie).

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Trump just signed an executive order banning vote by mail and ordering the defunding of any state that does not follow through with it as well as engage in massive voter roll purges. There won't be free and fair elections ever again. If you're waiting for 2026, it's already too late.

“I don’t know when it was signed, because I didn’t sign it,” Trump told reporters Friday evening. So… (1) Trump is lying & he signed it? (2) Trump is senile & doesn’t remember signing it? (3) Trump had Marco Rubio use the autopen to sign it? www.cnn.com/2025/03/21/p...
