Republicans are scheduling votes in the DEAD OF NIGHT on Trump's "big, beautiful bill." They advanced their bill last night at 10:30PM. The next vote is scheduled for 1AM on Wednesday. Why hide? Maybe because this bill rips away health care from babies, new moms, and seniors.

Crockett: Instead of the President cosplaying as the next pope, he may want to cosplay as an actual President of these United States. That means he may have to do a little bit of research and understand that he swore a an oath to defend and protect the constitution.

Enormously dangerous

Shameful capitulation www.wsj.com/business/med...

These charges are so stupid. There was an ICE agent **in the elevator** with the defendant after he left the courtroom. But oh yeah, the state judge somehow obstructed ICE because she let the defendant leave the courtroom through a side entrance. The Trump DOJ is run by morons and thugs.

He would have never been appointed by a president who cared about our military. He’s a disgrace to the people in uniform who serve www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

That the United States is not only sanctioning such shocking inhumanity, but is also *paying* for it, is so despicable. And that silence you hear is not one conservative "Christian" speaking out against it.

Overpromising and underdelivering www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

Republicans' solution to the Republican-caused, wholly unnecessary economic turmoil Americans are currently going through? Make up a silly name ("Panican") to mock Americans who are genuinely worried about losing their savings and jobs. They are so mature and constructive that way.

This fucking guy wants to focus on topics he is actually an expert on after soiling himself with all manner of nonsensical tantrum posts about areas about which he’s ignorant only because his self interest is now threatened.

Imbeciles are running the United States Government

Heinous termagant move

Luddite

Gratifying to know that the DOD is being run with all of the care, expertise, maturity, and competence of a group of middle schoolers egging an old guy’s house. It’d be hilarious if it weren’t, you know, for nukes and stuff 🤷🏻‍♂️

My joy!

This will be Paul Weiss' most enduring shame. Performatively denouncing an honorable man and a former partner in order to please an autocrat. "Paul Weiss has acknowledged the wrongdoing of its former partner Mark Pomerantz."

we are living under fascism right now

Paul Weiss disguising their payment of Trump's extortion as "pro-bono" work for him is disgusting. Pro-bono legal assistance is done for the public good. No legal representation for Donald Trump has ever been for the public good. It's only ever been to cheat others or help a dishonest criminal.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Pentagon has been ordering the removal of web site references to General Colin Powell and the Tuskegee Airmen and one of the flag-raisers at Iwo Jima as part of a crackdown on DEI. Have you no shame Pete Hegseth?(hat tip to Task and Purpose, WaPo for reporting) youtube.com/shorts/0HJpe...

Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?

We are living in very dangerous, unusual times. Today, the White House ignored a ruling by a Federal District Court because we have President who is an ignorant buffoon with no respect for the law or the Constitution. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social: "When I was flying combat missions over Iraq in 1991, I didn't think there was some snotty nosed teenager in South Africa that was going to call me a traitor."

Ziggy!

“Upon Musk’s request, Young procured a massive TV for Musk’s office in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building so he could play video games, according to a person familiar with the situation granted anonymity to speak freely.”

1. Marco Rubio is an idiot. Just today, Musk threatened to cut Starlink off from Ukraine. And bragged about how devastating it would be for them if he did. 2. And demanding that a US ally genuflect before us and offer thanks, à la JD Vance, for us not actively getting them killed is disgusting.

What an incredibly incompetent clown. Maybe he should have thought about the (patently obvious) effect of tariffs on the auto industry *before* imposing them? He’s like a monkey on a keyboard.

Big if true... 💀

“Engineers and executives at the so-called Department of Government Efficiency are drawing healthy taxpayer-funded salaries—sometimes from the very agencies they are cutting.”

He is incompetent

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

That is because they are mendacious

Just heard from a friend who is a true hero veteran. His company was destroyed in 30 days by the VA when they canceled 5 contracts without notice. 23 Americans mostly veterans out of work and a veteran owned small business destroyed. For nothing. They're dismantling the VA not "reforming" it.

Bezos bends the knee. Pathetic.

They will never stop their relentless march to autocracy. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
