I'm snarky. Deal with it. I'm old enough to remember when "social media" was a party line. Matthew 25:40

TACO Trump says he will double tariffs on steel from 25% to 50%. The announcement comes on the same day he allows Japan's Nippon Steel to buy American-owned US Steel, a deal he had previously opposed. 🌮

People need to understand what this means: If you steal $10 million, Trump will punish you with a $1 million fine that effectively goes into his pocket -- and that's it. The penalty for stealing $10 million is a $1 million fine. See the problem?

Donald Trump: US Steel is going to add at least 70k jobs. Grok: "It is not feasible for U.S. Steel to add 70,000 jobs in 2025. A more realistic scenario, if the Nippon deal proceeds or tariffs boost demand, might see a few thousand direct jobs created over several years."

The United Steelworkers union told Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent it remains ‘unalterably’ opposed to a $15 billion bid by Japan's Nippon Steel to buy US Steel, or any deal that would give Nippon influence over the company reut.rs/4cKsDeG

BREAKING: Over 130 former federal & state judges have filed an amicus brief urging the court to drop charges against Judge Dugan in Wisconsin The charges seek to criminalize judicial discretion & set a dangerous precedent for executive overreach We MUST defend judicial independence👇

You have your assignment. 😉

Tucked inside the House GOP tax bill? A massive national voucher program. $5B/year in tax credits to subsidize private & religious schools—$20B over 4 years. Public money, zero oversight. A backdoor defund of public education masked as “choice.” Hands Off Public Schools

“It’s pointless to try to impeach until after the midterms” First, it’s always the right time to do the right thing, and that includes advocating for upholding the Constitution. Second, getting organized to impeach now means we will be ready at the moment impeachment becomes possible. So we must.

My high school age son has a classmate just seized by ICE and she is now in a cell in Louisiana, her phone seized. This is High School in the USA in 2025. More Au Revoir Les Enfants than Ferris Bueller. School and community response already in motion.

AIR FORCE NONE? 🥴 Trump’s Air Force One deal with Qatar isn’t final. Turns out he asked for the jet—they didn’t offer. And now Qatar wants a memo of understanding signed with DC first.

Trump on Joe Biden, who recently announced a cancer diagnosis: "If you feel sorry for him, don't feel so sorry, because he's vicious ... I really don't feel sorry for him."

Trump's SEC has dropped a major lawsuit against Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange. This comes just weeks after the Trump family's crypto venture (World Liberty Financial) helped broker a $2B deal between Binance and a UAE state-backed firm. It's all out in the open.

Yes, let’s be as unprepared as possible and follow the kooks off a cliff.

In a world that often celebrates glamour over grit, 18-year-old Mykale Baker chose duty over party. Hours after graduating high school, he clocked in at Burger King—still wearing his stole and medals. His quiet act of responsibility sparked a wave of generosity that changed his future.

Doesn't matter how many vulnerable people die as long as they get their tax cuts. More money for them, yay!

Spare me the fake outrage. None of these people showing up for court are criminals of any kind. As a prosecutor, I worked with many ICE officers who arrested violent criminals. None of them wore masks. Many of your agents are clearly ashamed to carry out your orders.

SCOOP: Elon Musk will not be fully exiting DOGE. In fact, federal workers from at least six agencies tell WIRED that DOGE-style work is escalating in their departments, and President Trump himself said in a press conference today that “Elon's really not leaving.”

If you, like me, wondered why the hell Trump was attacking Leonard Leo, the powerhouse behind the judges who kept Trump out of prison, it seems it's this. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Under Republicans' "big beautiful bill," around 1.2 million Texans are expected to lose health coverage, about 806,000 Texas families will lose food assistance to put meals on their tables, and a federal voucher scheme will threaten public schools. All to pay for billionaire tax breaks.

It makes me feel sick knowing so many Americans believe him
