The cruelty of the Trump administration knows no bounds. They truly want LGBTQ+ youth to suffer for who they are.

So we are now at the "arresting judges" phase of America's rapid descent into fascism. And FBI Director Kash Patel is now officially the most despicable graduate of my alma mater, Garden City High School on Long Island.

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

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?

The bond market shows capital flight from the United States, with people selling off US debt. It’s the opposite of what usually happens during economic turmoil, when people buy US debt because they think it’s the safest asset in the world. The US-led global economic system is dead. By suicide.

It's clear as day that Trump is intentionally manipulating the markets to benefit himself & his oligarch friends. I guarantee those closest to him bought the dip knowing he would reverse course today. But since the SEC & DOJ are useless, we'll just have to get used to this blatant corruption.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

Happy Liberation Day everyone, the day on which we commemorate being liberated from our leadership role in the global economy, from growth, from vast numbers of jobs, and from better futures for our children. Trumponomics is junkonomics, the stupidest, most destructive of all policy approaches.

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

Trump has created the illusion of getting a lot done because: a.) Whereas past administrations were constrained by their inclination to obey the law, he doesn't give a shit b.) He cares more about the illusion part than the actually getting stuff done part c.) The media falls for it every damn time

Government abductions are unconstitutional. Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional. If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute… They’ll get to you soon enough.

Note to editors and producers: If an executive order demands action that is illegal or outside of the president’s authority, then you should not describe it as ordering something. You should say it seeks to achieve some outcome and then note it is illegal or beyond the power of the president.

Every tyrant in history has sought to stifle criticism of himself and his regime. But America was founded on criticism. American democracy was built on dissent. Every institution, group, firm, or individual that surrenders to Trump’s wanton tyranny invites more of it.

This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

Since the DNI and the CIA Director have both testified that there was no classified information in the @theatlantic.com’s “Houti PC Small Group” thread, there is no reason for the magazine not to release the entire thing. I call upon it to do so.

Every single Democrat in Congress should be demanding the resignation of Waltz and Hegseth. Every single one. This is a massive scandal. There should be a serious price to pay. AND THERE IS ZERO DOWNSIDE FOR EVEN THE MOST SCAREDY-CAT CONGRESSPERSON.

What you have to understand about Pete Hegseth copying and pasting war plans into Signal is that it almost certainly means he’s got classified documents on his personal UNSECURE devices. Signal isn't on a secure device...are our war plans on his personal devices? @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.
