Robert Wolf on Fox News: "I've been in finance for 40 years. This is probably the biggest manufactured crisis I've seen with a bunch of unforced errors. The execution of 'liberation day' was pathetic."

The fact that I know more about Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez’s 11-minute space trip than I do about Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s decades-long crime spree shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

15 years ago the Supreme Court decided corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Because Trump is on Putin’s side, these are words Trump will never say.👇

Don't let Donald's tariff stupidity distract you from talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon that put our troops in danger. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not. And we can multitask our criticisms.

We haven’t forgotten.

So all the White House political reporters are spending the weekend getting up to speed on the Abrego Garcia case and litigation related to the gulag in El Salvador so that they can prep good questions for Bukele’s visit on Monday, right? Right????????

This is a difficult time in financial markets but the real victims are the countless numbers of faceless small and mid-sized businesses who import from China and are getting vaporized overnight, and the White House would never take their calls.

Not for nothing, but how, exactly, is it legal to send people for *punishment* in a foreign prison (esp with no due process)? Were the funds being used for it appropriated for this purpose? I feel this has just become a thing no one questions

Evangelicals- your savior-president just got his gimp Mike Johnson to cut medical care that will hurt children. Fuck all of you.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

Tulsi Gabbard voted in Hawaii last year after declaring under oath she was a Texas resident and claiming a homestead exemption there. This would appear to be (1) a fraud in her loan application, and (2) voter fraud in Hawaii, where she no longer resided.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Feel free to share with any MEGA friends

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

True story.

Mike Johnson just voted to cut Medicaid. Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

It’s weird* that the president can just decide to put a huge tax on American businesses without congress even being a little bit involved. * very unconstitutional

He hates the military. We are just props.

It's time to take action!

Susan Crawford speaks out about Elon Musk: "People are really motivated and want to make sure that we protect the Wisconsin Supreme Court. They don't want to see some outsider, some billionaire come in and try to buy a seat which is what Elon Musk is trying to do."

Denmark 🇩🇰 sounds nice!

An excellent emendation to Paul, Weiss’s Wikipedia page. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul,_W...

Are we “Great” yet?

If Putin is unable to defeat UA why would America bail him out w/o paying a big price? Russia is loaded with oil grain and minerals just like UA. Why are the GOP unwilling to confront DJT about that? We the American people will suffer by not capitalizing on our strength and Russia's weakness.

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

Breaking: RFK Jr. has forced out PETER MARKS, the nation’s top vaccine regulator. In his resignation letter, obtained by the Post, Marks said he was willing to work with RFK Jr on his vaccine concerns — but said Kennedy wishes “subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said he will continue to revoke visas for “people that are supportive of movements that run counter to the foreign policy of the United States.” This is new. And it doesn’t feel like freedom

In case you’ve forgotten how we used to treat this sort of thing… There would be bipartisan calls for investigations Impeachment would be a foregone conclusion Several people would’ve resigned or been fired by end of day Back when responsible adults were in charge, not this insane clown posse

The CIA Director testified today that he is not sure a reporter was on the unclassified national security group chat that recklessly disclosed military plans in Yemen. The whole world is aware of who was part of Signalgate. These people cannot be trusted with America’s national security.

Ossoff: This was a huge a mistake Ratcliffe: No Ossoff: This is an embarrassment. We will get the full transcript of this chain and your testimony will be measured carefully against its content

My maternal grandmother died in the 1918 flu pandemic. RFK Jr can go fuck himself.

Howard Lutnick needs to resign his cabinet position immediately. He has no idea about how people in this country, the 99%, survive

Welp, there goes the US defense industry.

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you? My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

Paul Weiss is the Marco Rubio of law firms.

Alright, but have they tried raking the Tesla lots? 🔥🔥🔥

The decision by who, Mike?

Truer words were never spoken.
