Stephen Miller Dead Behind Eyes At 39

Some perspective: POLL: Only 45% of white people polled think Trump’s a dangerous dictator who should be stopped before he wrecks democracy. NOVEMBER: Only 42% of white voters voted Harris. Basically the same number—no shift. There’s still a lot of work to do and it’s unclear how we get there.

Former heroin addict turned HGH guy with worms in his brain who plays around with roadkill and only drinks raw milk: Everyone else is stupid and, frankly, their teeth work too good.

Viktoriia Roshchyna, 27, was a Ukrainian journalist who was detained by Russia, tortured, and had her organs removed. Russia is a terrorist state.

Here we go. The Trump Slump has begun. This morning's first quarter U.S. GDP estimate at -0.3%. Down from +2.4% in the last quarter of 2024.

100 days in and Trump’s turned the government into his personal revenge tour: breaking laws, stacking power, and daring anyone to keep up. “Flood the zone”? More like drown democracy. #First100Days

Voters returned Donald Trump to the White House in November partly for their concerns about the economy. Yet 100 days into Trump’s second presidential term, voters now face an economic landscape rife with uncertainty.

His former deputy who was just fired gave an interview this week with Megyn Kelly where he said Hegseth spends 50% of his time obsessing over his press and doing Fox interviews while neglecting his most important work. Hegseth this morning:

pretty fucking dumb for a journalist to let him say a photoshop is real and then rush away from that lie to ask him about something else when he's admitting to you he doesn't know the difference between real and fake

It is important to understand: *a surveillance state is the only thing of consequence DOGE has built; they fired the civic technologists working to make services better *they did this by breaking the law

Trump is never to blame.

that single sentence is going to drive me insane

Congressional Republicans are preparing to gut Medicaid and essential services to give the ultra-wealthy a tax cut. Talking with Leader Hakeem Jeffries on the Capitol steps this morning about how we make our voices heard in this moral moment.

Are we really just going to forget the insider trading?

Sen. Kennedy: "I don't think President Trump has defied any federal orders. I don't know what these judges expect the federal government to do. Bukele has said he's not returning Mr. Garcia. Mr. Garcia is not coming back to the United States. Ever."

The Social Security Administration will cut off disability checks for thousands of Americans in May Next May, thousands of Social Security Disability beneficiaries could stop getting their monthly check. www.tododisca.com/en/the-socia...

"Subdeals" are the new "concepts of a plan"

Today we honor the flippered citizens of our icy nation. Whether you celebrate whilst eating a democracy sausage in Oz, doomscrolling in America, pulling maple taps in Canada, or elsewhere, we appreciate the support! #worldpenguinday

Weirdly I don’t think the evidence suggests Elon Musk prioritizes the value of nuclear families.

This in no way makes me feel more confident in him. Just say 🚫 to Wormbrain. [*RFK said that his policy perspectives are influenced by the 14-year heroin addiction he overcame."]

Him talking about good genes is sooo eugenic

Forget what they SAY. Watch what they DO. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

ICE can enter anyone’s home, and abduct and deport them to a foreign prison indefinitely because the DOJ says they can ignore the 4th, 5th and 15th amendments. If there’s no due process or protections against illegal search and seizures, none of us are safe.

🚨 On May 1, 2025, in cities across the US, we will gather in solidarity—honoring the legacy of workers who organized for the 8-hour day. Today, we face a new threat. A billionaire-backed minority is quietly reshaping our democracy. BUT a peaceful People’s Movement is growing. 👉 www.FiftyFifty.one

@nyfirefighter22.bsky.social Even Good Ole Chuck Grassley is ostracizing #45 moron; with so many innocent lives being taken! Zelenskyy cannot trust Putin, to make a deal! He bombed them during Holy holidays leading to Easter! The European countries have stated they will stand with Ukraine?! 🇺🇦

Donald Trump is waging an all-out assault on our democracy and rule of law. After openly defying a Supreme Court order, calling for judges to be impeached, and bullying and belittling judges when he doesn’t like their decisions, today the FBI took the extreme and dangerous step arresting a judge.

BREAKING: A.G. Bondi reverses Garland policy against subpoenaing journalists. Stating that leaks "undermine President Trump’s policies," Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that "the news media ‘must answer subpoenas’ when authorized." Today, at Law Dork —>

Are we winning yet? With the same arrogance that he drove his many failed business to bankruptcy and debt default. Trump is destroying our national investments in key sectors one by one. The art of his deals is to drain the cash and stiff the workers and investors who trusted him. wapo.st/4cO2yuY

This — the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s arrest today of a sitting judge — against the backdrop that the President of the United States is, at this same moment, defying an April 10 Order of the Supreme Court of the United States

Hitler began arresting judges within two months of becoming Chancellor in March 1933. 🧨

Now that is and awesome graphic.

Apart from the fact that US Attorneys have no business in trying to intimidate academic journals, why the acting US Attorney for *Washington DC* is going after a journal based in Massachusetts suggests he has some confusion about jurisdiction.

Might be too late for #RFKJr though… “…vaccination based on date of birth significantly reduced the incidence of new dementia diagnoses during a 7.4-year follow-up period.” jamanetwork.com/journals/jam...

Even his sports takes are eugenicist.
