Breaking News: South Korea’s top court voted to eject President Yoon Suk Yeol, upholding his impeachment for declaring martial law. Follow live updates.

thetnholler 👇🏽 🎯 the point is to force the world to beg him for carve outs (and pay him off)

The purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.

March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE This was before the tariffs It's just...unbelievable

We tried mass tariffs in 1828, and it crashed the economy. We tried again in 1930, and it crashed the economy. Third time’s the charm, I guess.

Wow who could’ve guessed that this would happen It’s almost as if USAID was a pillar of American soft power and influence in the world It’s almost as if it was entirely predictable that America’s adversaries would work to fill the void left by USAID’s destruction

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Oh so NOW they like athletes taking a knee

I lost my job, my kids have measles, and I had to drive my parents 200 miles to a Social Security office, but at least I know that immigrants are getting sent to torture prisons in El Salvador.

Your tariff rate is your star sign divided by the number of boys you've kissed, multiplied by one

We take tariffs on our beautiful Heard Island very seriously. We will be consulting all mammals and flightless birds and will make an announcement in the near future detailing our response. #heardisland #tariff #mcdonaldisland #trumptariff

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

The US stock market has lost over $2 trillion in the last 20 minutes. Nice, nice. Nice.

james surowiecki has discovered where the completely fabricated trump tariff rate has come from for each country "...for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us."

I was thinking that none of those numbers made sense, but holy fuck this is insane

Oh. National Security Advisor Mike Waltz is in at least another 20 Signal group chats? And he’s sending sensitive information on Gmail too? This guy is a disaster.

Proud to stand with members of the Congressional Black Caucus as we highlight the devastating impact Republican cuts to Social Security will have on Black families nationwide. Together, we’ll keep fighting to protect these hard-earned benefits from being ripped away by Elon Musk and Donald Trump.

Speaker Johnson tried to block a bipartisan resolution to allow new moms and dads to vote remotely while caring for their newborns. He failed. Now he canceled votes for the rest of the week to delay a vote on this resolution. Why is Speaker Johnson so against supporting our families?

"I spent $20 million in Wisconsin, and all I got was this cheesehead"

Dems are finding an extra gear brothers and sisters. Courage is contagious.

Yaaaaaaaassssss!!!! Democratic Judge Susan Crawford is projected to win the Wisconsin state Supreme Court. Suck it, Elon!!!!!

“My friend, Madame President: I yield the floor.”

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

Cory Booker!!!

Authoritarians depend on you obeying in advance and not resisting. Every act of disruption weakens them and slows down their plan. It's a crack. The cracks add up. This is why what Cory Booker is doing is important compared to the weak complicity of Schumer and others.

France is moving far too fast against Marine Le Pen. by Merrick Garland

I have had issues & been hearing from people having trouble just ACCESSING their Social Security accounts. INSTEAD of going to a branch which may be hundreds or 1Ks+ of miles away from you, call your members of Congress. They have constituent services that will help you regain access. Please SHARE!

We have destroyed USAID so that the person who owns this yacht with a helicopter and a smaller boat friend can have a tax break

I could not be prouder of this Georgetown University Law Center student group. They were invited to an exclusive recruiting event with Skadden and withdrew because of Skadden’s preemptive capitulation to the Trump regime. Alanna, Caleb, and Carly were all students of mine.

Marine Le Pen, the French far-right leader, has been convicted of embezzlement and sentenced to 4 years in prison. She has been barred from running for public office for 5 years. Bravo, France for doing what the U.S. could not! 🇫🇷

Republicans will illegally destroy a humanitarian aid agency just to own the libs. It takes a lot of MAGA brainwashing to celebrate aid cancellations that will cause thousands to die from AIDS, malaria, and Ebola while making the US more vulnerable to epidemics, refugee crises, and terrorism.

Trump is threatening to bomb Iran if it doesn't make a nuclear deal that Trump previously pulled the US out of in 2018. This is like the tariff war but Trump gets to directly murder civilians as he flip flops and does Israel's bidding in the region. www.reuters.com/world/trump-...

Warner: "This a crazy foreign policy, and America is stronger when we have allies. America alone is weaker if we don't have that intelligence sharing, if we don't have these mutual defense pacts."

Y’all. Gay Valimont is so close to flipping this seat blue. All we gotta do is hit the phones 📱💥 Grab your iced coffee, wine, tea, or snacks, log on, and dial for democracy. ✨ Link in bio (jk it’s right here): docs.google.com/spreadsheets... @gayforcongress.bsky.social #Florida #FL01

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brought his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts where sensitive information was discussed, according to multiple people who were present or had knowledge of the discussions. www.wsj.com/politics/nat...

He fired the black chairman of the joint chiefs for being woke and hired his brother.

We should all be terrified to live in an America where legal residents can be detained, held at gunpoint, or deported because of the color of their skin or because the President disagrees with their views.

Paul Weiss: We are pathetic. Skadden: Hold our beer.
