Trump appointed one of the judges who struck down his tariffs. Why does Trump hate America?

The president is nuts.

NEW: Mahmoud Khalil alleges that the Trump administration and pro-Israel groups coordinated to target him. His team demands records of the government's communications with doxxing groups, a controversial Columbia alumni chat, and Senators John Fetterman & Ted Cruz.

CLOWN SHOW 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

this is why you don't get into "sensitive diplomatic or trade negotiations" with fake authorities.

LIAR!

Jobs you aren't qualified for are hard.

The United States Court of International Trade "should have no role" in … international trade, is it? 🤔

Maybe American kids can get more than 2 dolls this year after all

Reminder: DOGE was never about "efficiency."

"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little." -FDR, 1937

Pope Leo will be addressing the youth virtually while organizing a huge Mass in Chicago.. on Trump’s birthday, right during the parade.

"Past congresses delegated authority—emergency powers—to the President, and the President declares everything an emergency. I'm incredibly hopeful.. that at some point, all of this will be ruled unconstitutional because in fact there's no emergency." 🎙️ Recorded at 12:30 y'day 🧑‍⚖️ Courts acted by 6:30

Ya think? What gave it away? 🤷🏼

BREAKING: Judge extends order blocking Trump from revoking Harvard’s ability to enroll foreign students www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

BREAKING: Judge Contreras has blocked Trump's tariffs as unlawful. This is a *separate* injunction by a federal judge in D.C., unrelated to the block issued yesterday by judges on the federal tr de court. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Historians Martha Jones and Kate Masur have filed a critical new brief in the birthright citizenship cases, showing how the story of free Black Americans' advocacy for birthright citizenship unravels the admin's lead justification for its EO. Read it ⬇️ www.brennancenter.org/media/13981/...

The Supreme Court's first AND ONLY decision is in Seven County Infrastructure v. Eagle County. Per Kavanaugh, the court clears the way for construction of a railroad to carry oil in the Uinta Basin. The three liberals concur in judgment only. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Canada welcomes the U.S. Court of International Trade’s decision on the United States’ tariffs. It confirmed what we’ve always held: that the American tariffs against Canadian goods are unlawful and unjustified.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer oligarch. 🤡 @drewharwell.com www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Things that are important: -How much of the federal government Musk was able to destroy in four months -The impact this had on people's welfare and lives -Which parts of the federal government proved resilient Things that are not important: -How Musk feels about Washington

I can’t stop laughing about the fact that the Pope is now holding a huge event in Chicago on the same day as Trump’s small-in-the-pants birthday parade.

I had a simple question: Has President Trump increased has net worth since taking the White House? And if so, by how much? The answer was more surprising than I anticipated. Simply put, he has more than doubled his net worth in 4 months. Here's how:

"Let cash registers ring!"

They attacked, traumatized and fired the competent public servants, and now want your sympathy for being out of their depth.

Pity party aside, what are Kash Patel and Dan Bongino actually doing all day? Turning out reams of policy memos, curating new versions of the enemies list, or like crushing candies?

Get Bongino a high chair like Kash's ... Poor baby.

Oh, poor baby. Doesn't your heart just break for the poor evil bastard ...

"The remarkable fact about all the law breaking is how *little* the administration has done to cover its tracks. They *want* us to think the laws don’t apply anymore and all that matters is pleasing Dear Leader."

Here are THREE corrupt ways Donald Trump is allowing billionaires to pay to play: 1. The Trump family's new $500k members only club 2. Trump's crypto deals 3. Trump's presidential library (that's where the luxury jet is headed) Trump's making billions while your prices go up.

Are you a PI of a federal grant cancelled by the Trump administration? Please share your info with the Democratic Staff of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, who launched this portal yesterday to track funding cancellations đź”­đź§Ş forms.office.com/pages/respon...

Yesterday, I saw Musk's biographer Walter Isaacson wheeled out for a TV interview under the chyron "Musk: Back to Business" and it really feels like the media is entirely happy to go along with a concerted PR effort to increase Musk's finances by downplaying what he did to your government.

Why is the US Govt continuing to interfere in the domestic politics and elections of our allies, and why is the Homeland Security Secretary on a lengthy world tour?

Unreal. "Under the plea agreement which dismissed the felony charge of grand theft, former Glenn County sheriff's deputy John Sanzone agreed to return the $3,500 he stole from a homeless man who had been saving it for badly needed dental work."

đź‘€"22 young Americans have filed a new lawsuit against #Trump admin over its anti-environment exec orders. By intentionally boosting oil & gas production & stymying carbon-free energy, fed officials are violating their constitutional rights to life & liberty.." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Happening in Tallahassee, Florida right now. Immigration raid against people who are literally working to build our housing by ICE agents wearing military gear and looking like they are in a war-zone.

Let's be crystal clear about what Musk did: âś…gave unqualified tech bros access to sensitive govt systems âś…fired thousands of hard working Americans âś…eviscerated critical agencies like the National Weather Service & Social Security âś…grabbed fat contracts for himself apnews.com/article/elon...

One might have thought that last November, when Missourians voted to enshrine “reproductive freedom" in the state constitution, that would have been the end of the conversation. Alas, the Missouri Supreme Court doesn’t seem to be inclined to listen. This week, the court halted abortions.

It’s always “two weeks”

This is what happens when you put internet conspiracy theorists in charge of major government departments.
