“The eighty-year period when the U.S. embraced global economic leadership—when it forged alliances rooted in trust and mutual respect, and championed the free and open exchange of good and services—is over.” www.thebulwark.com/p/the-americ...

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

America invests $200 million annually in a 50 states program to help small manufacturing businesses that helps them add $9 billion annually into our economy. Leave it to Trump to kill the program right as he tariffs away manufacturing imports. They don't care about us, just about Project 2025.

February 1

People showed up to vote and thought they had a chance at the million dollars, but it was rigged all along

You know things are bad when Mike Pence is the voice of reason

Beyond. Parody.

This was less than three months ago.

Raskin: Would it be problem for it to be standard practice to conduct sensitive foreign policy on a signal chat group? It just came out that Waltz’s team set up 20 signal group chats for crises across the world… I’m sure this will raise the question on whether he should continue in that position

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

WTF????

so my favorite dive bar in WI passed up showing tonight’s Bucks game so they could show live poll results. when the election was called for Crawford, the whole bar started chanting, “Fuck El*n”. the bartender pulled out the good stuff and handed out free shots to us all—an absolutely electric nite

We’re going to annex Canada and invade Greenland but we can’t request return of an innocent man from El Salvador.

Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."

The CDC has literally been gutted today. There’s no need for “April Fools” when reality is a nightmare for every human on this planet. Thousand of scientists fired. Entire departments erased. 1/

These people are irredeemable. www.mediamatters.org/immigration/...

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.   It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.

How it started // how it's going

It’s well known that I was on The Apprentice. We were all covered by NDAs at the time, but mine has now expired. And do I ever have some tea to spill. I’ll post it later today after consulting once again with my attorneys.

Thank you, Cory Booker

No lies told here.

“Beautiful thing to watch.”

THANK YOU WISCONSIN! Hundreds of protesters outside Musk’s rally in Green Bay. Bless you all! 💙🩵💪👏

🚨 Science matters. Vaccines have saved millions of lives by reducing infectious diseases—just look at the data.

OH MY GOD I’VE BEEN HACKED

When you spend half your time driving around in the Presidential limousine and the other half in a golf cart, of course you don’t care about rising car prices. But most Americans do.

Of course they lied to Congress. And now there's no one in the DoJ that will do anything about it. Keep calling them out on their lies. We're the only check on them now.

Am I surprised that a criminal president’s administration is drenched in corruption? https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/29/us/politics/journey-from-biden-loyalist-to-full-maga-ends-in-a-trump-pardon.html?unlocked_article_code=1.8E4.Hnwd.MbXrHFWXLxBy&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare

There were 13 church leaders & christian school employees who were arrested, pled guilty and/or were sentenced to prison for child sex crimes this week.

This is what corruption looks like.

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment. Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

Florida Blue Voters: we need you to show up Tue, April 1 to vote for Democracy. Vote Valimont in Dist 1 and Weil in Dist 6. You can flip these Congressional seats to BLUE! We NEED you!

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

I draw little comfort in the fact that two men who, clearly, have no understanding of how our government is supposed to work, are petulantly breaking it so they can recreate it in their own ignorant, dysfunctional images.

Hiring your brother is the original affirmative action for white people.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

Here’s @timothysnyder.bsky.social on why the use of Signal is the real scandal: “Signalgate is shocking on its own. But more troubling when we begin to understand — Signal chats provide American authorities with cover to plan the violation of human rights.” open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p...

Quote of the Day: "Usually when I hear child labor in Florida, I think of pregnancy." - John Fugelsang speaking about the new child labor laws proposed in FL on today's Daily Beans.

Vance flies to northern Greenland to the US military base. Spends 3 hours on the base. Flies home. All other plans to attend events in Greenland over 3 days canceled because nobody wanted them there.

What are the odds? Pete Hegseth’s little brother Phil just so happened to land a cushy gig at the Pentagon! This job has allowed him to hang out with UFC fighters, take a trip to Guantanamo, and get a seat on the Pentagon’s 747 aircraft. #NepoBro apnews.com/article/hegs...

INDIANA VOTER: “Will you demand the resignation of Pete Hegseth?” *Crowd cheers wildly* Rep. Spartz (R) : “No.” *Crowd boos wildly for a full minute*

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.
