Republicans hollering about Biden’s prostate is just more gaslighting, done to distract from Moody’s downgrade of the government’s credit rating. Which is basically because Republicans are being cruel and fiscally irresponsible, and now doing their evil worst under cover of darkness.

So let me understand GOP This is. This is Bad. OK

The Felon is the (clownish) head of a hydra; his evil cabinet members are just more heads. Billionaires that yearn for return to a feudal system are the body, and get the votes of the ill-informed with sound bites about God, gun rights, trans women, brown criminals, and abortions.

Kash Patel did not have an FBI budget for the Senate budget committee. Imagine having the chutzpah to say you do not have a budget, not even come close to apologizing, not taking responsibility, and not committing to when he would have it. Is that management, leadership? Republicans, I ask: WTF?

All you need to know about Republican core values.

It’s coming to light that even many on the right object to the Trump tariffs’ impact on the economy and cruel extrajudicial rendition. They even believe in due process, justice for all, and liberty. So why are Republicans in Congress STILL silent, as if palace guards for a mad king?

Sen. Lisa Murkowski voiced fear. This morning I watched a clip of Rep. Ayanna Pressley, talking about being part of the delegation that visited American residents illegally imprisoned in Louisiana: bravery exists. Join her, Sen. Murkowski. STAND UP. If MAGA is threatening you, quit supporting them.

I wish Substack had a "tip jar" option. There are far more good writers than I can afford to subscribe to, but I'd like to acknowledge the benefit I get from reading them, even if it's only the "no charge" version.

Today’s mayhem: Hegseth sharing security chats AGAIN with civilian pals, stock markets plummeting, tariffs reducing shipping to COVID-era levels, SCOTUS up in the night trying to stop illegal deportations, FDA halting food inspections. And still Congress GOP is motionless, frozen. IMPEACH, FFS!

GOP is COMPLICIT. How did “defending the constitution from all enemies foreign and domestic” become “I will ask other evildoers to build concentration camps so I can send anyone I want there?” When will Republicans in Congress recognize this for the emergency it is and join with Dems to IMPEACH?

A sentiment I saw today and absolutely agree with: “I will never VOTE FOR A REPUBLICAN after this fiasco!! They have NO moral compass. They have NO spine to stand up for their constituents.”

Are we great again yet? David Graham in the Atlantic: “The United States is retreating from hard power, surrendering soft power, and yielding economic power.” Oh, and the price of eggs, and our 401K’s… MAGA, what were you thinking, re-electing this failed Felon?

In any normal administration, the Director of National Intelligence committing voter fraud would lead to an immediate resignation and criminal investigation.

EXTORTION.

Murkowski crowed that she brought home $25M for aviation safety. How tone deaf is that, while Republicans are cratering the economy and she just voted for a budget that will bring home nothing but pain for many Alaskans. Did she know about and promise to be silent about the April 9 insider trading?

War hero schools a chickenhawk.

Illegal attempts to access IRS data was an article of impeachment against Nixon.

www.yahoo.com/news/interna... I used to say Nazi Germany was around the corner for this country. I was wrong, it’s here now!! #USDemocracy

Good morning I checked my 401K

This.

What's it going to take for the barely-paying-attention crowd to realize that Republicans are bad for the economy? The facts are obvious, and have been for decades. I think we need to keep repeating the fact that Republicans are bad for the economy. Someday it may break through.

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

GOP Congress: Felon47, whom you continue to protect like a ring of palace guards, is now using tariffs to extort other countries. Pay attention to the pain this makes you complicit in, as economic catastrophe is now predicted. It is YOUR ACTUAL JOB to stop this traitorous evil man.

It helps when the person at the mic recommends vaccines, fewer people die. But noooo, the Repubs appointed RFK Jr, and they continue to be complicit in the pain being caused to so many by this administration.

Billionaire investor and major Trump supporter Bill Ackman: “We are in the process of destroying confidence in our country as a trading partner, as a place to do business, and as a market to invest capital…” “We are heading for a self-induced, economic nuclear winter..” Much more in screenshots.

When this is over, no forgiveness for those involved. There will be trials. There will be consequences. 😡😡😡

Proud of Anchorage!

R’s in Congress: You continue to stand by as the stock market & economy crater. Only the rates of vaccine-preventable diseases are ascendant (um, thanks?). All while you continue to do nothing to counter Trump. Retake your constitutional power of the purse, impeach, or apply the 25th amendment, FFS.

Lisa Murkowski, Dan Sullivan, Nick Begich: What 5 things have you done this week to get KIlmar Abrego Garcia, wrongfully seized, now imprisoned and likely tortured in El Salvador through the actions of this administration that you continue to support, back to his family?

Murkowski and Sullivan voted to confirm RFK Jr., against the public advice of physicians. Sanctity of life my patooty, as measles cases continue to rise and RFK can’t or won’t do what’s needed to contain it.

In March of 2024, Trump shared a video with this image of the sitting US President. If a foreign student today was caught with a video like that on their phone depicting the sitting US President, they would likely be denied entry.

Think Medicaid cuts aren’t your problem? Hospital layoffs affect everyone. And laid-off people don’t buy things or go to restaurants. Businesses close. Ripples.

Congress Republicans: WTF does removing “anti-American ideology” from the Smithsonian mean? Are the Hope diamond, the wooly mammoth skeleton, the entire African American History Museum in the crosshairs? And critically, will you defend this keystone collection of our cultural historical past?

As 47 seeks to destroy any trace of decency in America, where is the Republican party? I haven't seen them this quiet since the last time children were murdered in a school shooting. Their cowardice is mind-numbing.

Three months ago, the U.S. would have been sending help to Myanmar in the wake of their horrific earthquake. But Trump and his emotional support billionaire, with a complicit and supine Republican Congress, prioritized tax cuts for the wealthy and dismantling government services, including USAID.

Even after Maine doctors pleaded with her not to do it and explained why, Susan Collins voted for RFK Jr. #mepolitics

Wut?? www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

Was speaking with a USAID person yesterday explaining how at any other time countless phone lines wld be buzzing, working groups stood up, go-teams and aid being dispatched to after the Myanmar quake. Now ... nothing.

Please convince Murkowski to vote with you, Sen. Warren. Sullivan is a waste of time, but Murkowski may not be.

Seems that Trump isn’t actually following events: doesn’t know what Signal is or that soldiers died on a training mission. Is Stephen Miller the Rasputin running the country? Biden was old, but he wasn’t incompetent and/ or unconscious. Put away the golf clubs and try to focus, POTUS.

Family supportive tattoos got this guy deported to a prison. WTF?

Too busy abducting college students for their op-eds, I guess

I learned from my military father that there are times when the immediate response must be “it was my fault, I am sorry, and it won’t happen again.” Those involved in the worst security failure in memory who did not respond with that basic level of humility should be fired. That means all of them.

As the entire national security team is being publicly spanked (please remove & replace them), unauthorized cuts at the SSA are endangering Americans’ lives, AND this administration is cratering our nation’s financial security. Are we to become North Korea before Congress wakes TF up to this coup?

Conclusion of Jim Himes powerful opening statement at House Intel hearing today: “If some over-caffeinated 20 year old succeeds in firing your professionals, if you shut down a unit because Bannon or Gorka doesn’t like it, America will be less safe & people will get hurt.”
