What could go wrong?

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one. Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

It's gonna be one of those wet, messy storm setups, but a threat for tonight through tomorrow morning nonetheless. And remember, it's Oklahoma...sometimes less is more. *CLICK FOR EMBIGGENATION* ticker.mesonet.org #okwx #okmesonet

BERKSHIRE STATEMENT: “There are reports currently circulating on social media (including Twitter, Facebook and Tik Tok) regarding comments allegedly made by Warren E. Buffett. All such reports are false.” @cnbc.com $BRK www.cnbc.com/2025/04/04/b...

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

There are 32m small businesses in the USA

I fucking knew it!

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year. This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year. See what DOGE is really about?

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Dark Pence is back.

An FDA worker confirms what I've seen out there. CDC's entire FOIA office is gone. The FDA's communications and web office were cut. "The FDA as we know it is gone."

This stuff really fascinates me. I wish that going to Mars wasn't political. www.yahoo.com/news/mars-ro...

I'm just a tired woman dreaming of a world where I don't have to be anywhere EVER AGAIN before 9 am.

“Have you ever noticed there are two sets of rules in this country” is a theme we could hit harder here. Imho.

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.

This blows my mind, and yet Democrats are criticized as being "out of touch." Just outrageous.

"IRS Predicts DOGE Lost Half a Trillion Dollars for the USA" "in about eight weeks DOGE managed to lose the U.S. government — more or less light on fire — more than half of what goes to all non-defense discretionary spending..." talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

Accurate, to scale 👇🏽

For all those people who think “the left got more radical,” this is what the evolution of the GOP has looked like over the past few years.

I've found that a good rule of thumb is when your kid tells you they are something, don't try to force them to be something else. Please support them in finding their way. Often if you try to force something, the outcome can be disastrous.

Well, color me surprised.

NEW: Senator Marshall (R-KS) RUNS AWAY, fleeing his own town hall after being asked about DOGE firing Veterans. MAKE HIM GO VIRAL.

If the market continues to trend down, and the Atlanta Fed turns out to be right, the midterms will be very interesting. The battle between republican self preservation and MAGA will be intense

I made delicious calzones and pepperoni rolls for dinner today. It was a pleasant way to end the day. Typically, I get takeout on Friday. Not today.

Rep Fallon wants you to blame folks on food stamps so you won’t fight back when Republicans slash safety nets. He knows damn well food stamps have work requirements, and the real budget fix is closing tax loopholes for billionaires, not punishing the poor. Have you noticed they’re gutting the IRS?

💯

Tim Burchett votes yes. massive cuts to health care for poor folks — all to set up massive tax cuts for the rich. They never cared about the debt.

fellow millennials: should we be getting our immunity levels checked, or….?

MUST-WATCH: House GOP leadership refused to allow Rep. Brittany Peterson, who's on maternity leave, to vote remotely, but that didn't stop her. She showed up, not only voted but also spoke out against the GOP budget proposal with Sam, who turned 1 month old today, in her hands.

Of course it did because it's ALL a lie. Smoke and mirrors nonsense.

This is going to end up being one of the most horrific marks on American history. Right up there with the outrageous Japanese American internment camps in WWII.

We very obviously don't have the "deep state" that the magas try to say we have. If we did...they wouldn't be here.

Hero

This is outrageous.

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

Attention...I am SO sick of mean girls. That is all.

Had the absolute BEST afternoon seeing Chicago with my daughter. We had 2nd row pit seats, and it was AWESOME! She even caught a rose at the end.
