Donald Trump ordered the Department of Justice to investigate the leading platform through which Democrats raise money for their campaigns. Less that 100 days in, Trump is weaponizing DOJ to prevent his political opponents from funding opposition campaigns. Where is the outrage?

Today Trump ordered DOJ to investigate ActBlue, which is payment processing platform for basically every progressive organization in the US. Trump is ordering DOJ to disrupt the opposition party Yesterday Trump personally got $10s of millions in cash from untraceable foreigners in new crypto scheme

New: We analyzed Trump's meme coin - At least 27 crypto wallets have picked up $100 million worth of $TRUMP coins since his team said the top holders would join him for an "intimate private dinner." Huge profit for Trump; "the most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done" wapo.st/4iAatO1

my endorsement for any democratic presidential candidate who promises to send the entire DOGE team to prison

Made a new sign for Saturday’s #TeslaTakedown protest. I’m coming for you, #StarLink!

We must take the fight to them.

This should be the top story in Axios’s morning read. But it isn’t. It’s the FIFTH top story. @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/04/23/t...

Everyone in DOGE needs to be put on trial and sent to prison for decades. The worst traitors in its leadership, acting on Putin's orders, need to be punished according to what is stated in the Constitution as a consequence for traitors.

They want us all dead.

cannot be said enough how much these people genuinely hate your freedom to live your life as you choose. newrepublic.com/post/194212/...

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

Fuck Planned Parenthood

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

Marjorie Taylor Greene buying Apple, Pi, Qualcomm, Dell, Amazon, and Lam stocks seems a lot more sus before the tariff exemptions on electronics components, smartphones, semiconductors, and computers. Martha Stewart would like a word.

Week ten of #TeslaTakedown and still going strong!

Solving problems that don’t exist by impairing rights that do exist. Maybe you’re wearing the wrong jersey, Congressman.

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a major voter suppression measure that, if it became law, could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine U.S. democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

This has always been the GOP's strategy: 1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves. 2) Explode the deficit. 3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions. 4) Repeat. They're trying to get away with it again.

next to a tanking stock ticker, Maria Bartiromo acknowledges we might be heading toward a recession

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

Do clients really want to hire a law firm known for how quickly it rolls over? Yet, now this is Paul Weiss's well deserved reputation.

I can only imagine the bailout package they are drawing up for themselves. As the saying goes, privatize the profits, and socialize the losses.

“This is not what we voted for.” Yes, yes, it is. You just didn’t think it could destroy you, too.

Let's repeat it for folks in the back. When Bill Clinton cut 300,000 + jobs from the federal workforce, he did it with the APPROVAL of Congress after review and a VOTE! He did NOT illegally take it upon himself to drastically slash entire agencies and programs - with NO plan for continued service.

#TrumpRecession

Recession almost certain with this team at the helm. In all likelihood, this team will create more than one recession during his term. Americans will be measurably poorer four years from now.

i am fascinated by the outright refusal of people in the professional political commentary class to just consider the possibility that there is no plan and that trump really is a braying idiot with the more acute case of narcissistic personality disorder on record

Good day to remember that DOGE has already lost the US government at least half a trillion dollars this year alone. And likely more.
