Hard not to notice that ICE isn't breaking up drug rings or gangs (because we would ABSOLUTELY hear about it if they were), but instead are dressing up like bank robbers and doing the laziest shit possible, like hanging out at immigration court or grabbing people for busted taillights. Worthless

So, according to Jake Tapper, Joe Biden was so infirm, so cognitively vacant, so frail and feeble, so incompetent that he was utterly unfit to serve & yet, at the very same time, he was able to hide all of that from the press, including the likes of Jake fucking Tapper? Are you fucking kidding me?

Trump, the same man who dined with Nick Fuentes, one of the leading white nationalist anti-semites in America, and Kanye, who sang"Heil Hitler," expects you to believe he really cares about Jews and anti-semitism. Yeah, ok...maybe he'll get consultation from Musk, who did 2 Sieg Heils...

As the dust settles, keep in mind that the GOP was presented with plenty of compelling off-ramps. - The CBO said the bill was a disaster. - The bond market said the bill was a disaster. - The public said the bill was a disaster. 215 Republicans voted for it anyway. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Somehow, Trump has declared that we’re under numerous national emergencies from the Southern Border Emergency to the Energy Emergency, Trade Emergency, Public Lands Emergency, and Immigration Enforcement Emergency. Yet these crises seem so “urgent” that he finds time to golf every weekend. Odd.

Yes, Trump’s crypto grifts, well reported in NYT, reveal unprecedented corruption. But they also reveal that the people who can ruin the economy are in effect shorting the US dollar.

First, Trump signed an executive order that places restrictions on voter registration. Then, House Republicans passed the anti-voter SAVE Act. Now, Trump wants to undermine grassroots fundraising power by going after ActBlue. This is what avoiding accountability from voters looks like.

They used fear to get the media, the law firms, the universities and the private sector to comply. Fear of retribution. Retaliation. Revenge. Now, it’s the judiciary’s turn. This is what Fascism looks like.

Women stand to suffer the most from the fallout, with the gender pay gap compounding payments for women over time. Black women owe more than any other group of women. Student debt can hinder women from saving for retirement, buying homes or launching businesses. 19thnews.org/2025/04/wome...

Wall Street keeps begging. Ackman keeps tongue bathing. Time they realize the only deliverance is Democrats and enough Republicans stripping Trump of all his (already frankly illegal) tariff powers. It’s a simple vote. Trump isn’t the one they need to beg or threaten.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that “high crimes and misdemeanors” do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

I care less about the price of the Nintendo Switch 2 and more about how the cost of replacing a refrigerator is skyrocketing. When you're living paycheck to paycheck and your car shits the bed, what are you supposed to do? This tax hike is going to break a lot of struggling people financially.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

When they lie the bombing plans were not classified, take hostage visa holders because they said something they didn’t like, remove people with tattoos to an El Salvador prison without due process…they are telling us they reject the rule of law and embrace a fascist future as a pariah state.

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.
