Donald Trump was the first president in a century to preside over net jobs loss during his first term and unsurprisingly he's picking right up where he left off. Congrats, America.

Thanks to Trump, America is at its weakest since the Civil War. open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Simply unfathomable how destructive to our future this mistake of a presidency will be after witnessing the widespread devastation of the Trump-Musk Agenda in just a few short weeks. Republicans completely fucked over the USA.

What a photo. Green must be the start of something, not the end.

We could have had him as our President. Or Hilary, who was right about everything. Or Kamala, who would be killing it. No f’ing way that we elected Orange Turdlington TWICE.

Let this sink in.

Fascism is here. Name it. This is not what we are supposed to be about. 🇺🇸

NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent. “It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up. “A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.” @kyivindependent.com

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago. But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today. He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

So evil it's hard to watch. Teeing up another round of apologies to my Ukrainian friends over the foreign policy "expertise" from our cut-rate Jonestown Burger Chef and Jeff.

Frommer's is sad to learn of the passing of Gene Hackman. Gene worked at the Frommer's publishing offices when he was starting out as a young actor and Frommer's was in its early years as a travel guide book publisher. We grew up together. He was truly one of the greats.

I know there’s a phrase that perfectly describes what’s going on here but gosh darn it I’m blanking on it Maybe we can crowdsource this. The best I can come up with is I think it may rhyme with or sound something like “anti-magnetic lyco-bath.” Can anyone help?

Happy Friday and fuck Trump!

BREAKING: A federal judge in California has ordered OPM to rescind memos calling for the mass termination of probationary employees, saying the agency overstepped its legal authority and must inform other agencies it lacked the authority to issue such a directive.

trump: I’m going to protect women women: no thank you trump: I’m gonna do it women: please don’t trump: I have kicked those 7 trans girls off the jv volleyball team women: what trump: and brought back andrew tate women: why trump: YOU’RE WELCOME WOMEN also you can’t vote anymore

MAGA: We want the Epstein list to hold pedos accountable! Trump: best I can do is give a binder to a bunch of influencers, direct AG Bondi to accuse the FBI of withholding Epstein information, and convince Romania to let the human traffickers who voted for me come to Florida.

Yeah...welcome to the party. Hire security. Grow a pair and do the right thing. I am so tired of this cowardice. Those of us out here have already been doxxed and threatened. We don't have access to a Congressional budget that covers security.

Something is shifting. They are still breaking things and stealing things. And they will keep trying to break and to steal. But the propaganda magic around the oligarchical coup is fading. (1/2)

I'm dumb. I can't figure out how to end world hunger. But I do promise that I will continue to change healthcare in this country and make it more affordable, possibly setting a path towards Universal Healthcare.

Trump and Musk’s “pointless bloodbath” at the FAA is even worse than you think. The Trump administration fired several FAA lawyers tasked with helping keep reckless and drunk pilots out of the skies — and officials are baffled.

When I see Steve Bannon doing a Nazi salute to cheers it means only one thing: 420,000 U.S. troops died defending our country from Nazi assholes and 77 million people voted for them to be in power. MAGA betrayed our country voting for this nightmare.

This is really something

The government cannot stop you from informing others about their legal rights. Know your rights when educating your community.

Holy crap. At his town hall last night, Rep. Rich McCormick compared *his own constituents* who asked him tough and fair questions to January 6 insurrectionists

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot. REPOST if you stand with General C.Q. Brown against Hegseth!

Okay, so, how do we stop this shit? Where's the fucking press to ask Republicans how they feel about this?

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

Donald Trump and Elon Musk have fired “multiple FAA lawyers whose job was to help prevent pilots with drug and alcohol problems from getting in the cockpit.” Musk and Trump want you to die in an airplane crash. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

I had to confirm these for myself. Here are Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff and the official White House account running with Trump's earlier post referring to himself as king. Famously, the United States of America fought a war over not wanting to be ruled by a king.

I think that Trump siding with Putin against Europe may be the biggest story yet. Am I wrong? (NYT and WaPo are not treating it like that. At all.)

Congratulations to Bill Guerin for doing the impossible and making this not fun anymore. www.thedailybeast.com/us-hockey-te...

We agree.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

It’s quite clear by now that the answer to “why is the Trump administration doing x terrible thing?” is that they are *trying* to dismantle America and destabilize the entire world.

He owned 11% and they fired him Even his quote-tweeted memes are lies

Yesterday I read Napoleon. Today it reads like an updated “Stand Back and Stand By” to me
