A drug addict usurped congressional power, and unilaterally gutted US soft power. Members of the administration knew about, and were disturbed by, his drug use (WSJ). Isn’t this a cover-up?

movies and all other “informational sources” produced abroad are constitutionally protected from tariffs. it’s called the Berman Amendment and it was instituted in the last gasp of the (last) Cold War to protect information/culture imported from “adversarial” states. try again!

Terrible things are happening outside. At any time of night and day, poor helpless people are being dragged out of their homes. Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. - Anne Frank

Bill Ackman freaking out about tariffs and saying "this isn't what we voted for" is as clear a crystallization of conservative self-delusion as you could ever ask for. Yes it is you idiot, you voted specifically for this! He talked about this NON STOP

Florida– there are two critically important special elections coming up on April 1st that could bring some sense of balance, some sanity back to Congress. Vote for Gay Valimont (FL-01) & Josh Weil (FL-06). We need these two voices of reason in the US House. We’re one week away. Make a plan to vote.

Don't be afraid to call things by what they are. MAGA is a terrorist organization, ICE is a secret police force conducting Ethnic Cleansing, Elon Musk is an oligarch, and Trump is a foreign backed coup d'état figurehead. This is not an administration, this is a regime, and your country is occupied.

We’re lucky it wasn’t Bob Woodward in the group chat; we wouldn’t know about this fiasco til after the next election when his next book would come out.

1. Tulsi Gabbard was overseas while participating in the Signal chat. 2. Steven Witkoff was in Russia when he was added to the Signal chat. 3. Russia infiltrated Signal some time ago to use it against Ukrainians. It’s high time to Benghazi the shit out of Trump’s administration.
