"Never saw a caveman get hit by a car, did you?" RFK Jr. asked, as he took a break from gnawing the leg of his coffee table. "That's because they didn't eat food dyes." In the corner of the room stood a man only known as Doctor Cowabunga. Together they would decide the future of medical research

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me. FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

“He made 2.5 million today and he made $900 million. That’s not bad.” Sounds like market manipulation to me. That’s bad.

The number of Europeans traveling to the US fell by about 180,000 people in March, part of that is the shift of Easter to April but a lot is the fallout from Trump’s policies. “It's concerning for us,” Air France-KLM’s CEO said of the situation at the end of March.

This shows that while all SSA service will decline, it will be older people in red states and rural areas of blue states that suffer most. That's ... not a typical way to treat a key constituency

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

New @budgetlab.bsky.social report about today's tariff announcement: • The April 2nd policy alone is the equivalent of an 11.5pp increase in the effective tariff rate. When combined with other US tariffs in 2025, we're at 22 1/2%, the highest rate since 1909. 1/7

It's a short list of presidents who have driven the economy into recession. The most straightforward example is 200 years old: Andrew Jackson's campaign to destroy the banking system. Will Trump succeed in matching that achievement?

The Wisconsin statute is plain. You cannot offer anything of value to any elector to dissuade or induce them to vote. Period. It prohibits the same with respect to going to the polls for a particular candidate. There’s no innocent explanation for what Musk is doing now to get voters to the polls.

I don’t care how much money Musk throws at this race - it doesn’t change who Brad Schimel is. As AG, there were over 6,000 rape kits that went untested. He tested less than 10. That’s 6,000 rapists walking free in WI. WI you deserve better. #VoteSusanCrawford for Supreme Court — April 1st

Elon Musk has been a walking SEC violation for a decade and no one cared. The entire Trump era could have been avoided if the US took white collar crime anywhere near as seriously as it does low level drug crime.
