Never forget that the chief complaint against Biden was “the economy is terrible.” You utter imbeciles

this is straightforwardly concentration camp stuff. just in very plain terms: we send people to camps now if we, the government, deem it necessary, without due process. you can file a habeas petition in the united states district court with jurisdiction over el salvador, i guess.

I can't believe I spent 4 years hearing from MAGA that Biden was destroying the economy even though it was in good shape, and now they're telling me that a bad economy is great because Trump is destroying it. It's a cult man. There's no saving these people

Firing a DOJ lawyer for admitting a government error when the lawyer’s duty to the court requires exactly that admission is about as wrong as anything can be. Only in the lawless, topsy-turvy world of Trump and Vance is such absurdity imaginable. Yet here we are! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

Remember SignalGate? (One of Trump's superpowers is being involved in so many scandals all the time that very few of them end up having staying power beyond a news cycle or two.)

Elon: those protestors are all paid! Also Elon:

Reminder: If they can lie that they're violent and disappear them, they can lie that you're violent and disappear you.

We wanted to understand the broader economic implications of the ongoing trade war. So we talked to two Trump supporters who have the words of the second amendment written on the sides of their pick-up trucks.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

USA was “strongest” before 1913. lol okay dipshit.

Fuck

White House: we want reciprocal tariffs Vietnam: fine, let’s do zero percent White House: fuck you Absolute clown car administration

Supreme Court to decide if Trump can exile people to overseas gulags “by mistake” and then leave them there to rot forever www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

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.

We imported $3 billion worth of goods from Russia last year ustr.gov/countries-re...

When China is posting Ronald Reagan on main while the Republican Party abandons all his principles, you know you fucked up.

Tariff supporters: I’m not going to debate you about Trump’s tariffs. Because that would be pretending you had a legitimate understanding of what you’re talking about and/or weren’t a complete moron. XOXO Timmer P.S. if being called a moron offends, don’t support stupid things.

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

The global stock markets have declared an unequivocal vote of no confidence in Donald Trump. It’s time for Congress to do the same.

Reminder: All People Had To Do Was Fill In A Little Oval Next To The Smart Black Lady’s Name.

60 Minutes“could not find criminal records” for 75% of the 238 men the Trump admin sent to a Salvadoran prison. Of the 22% that had records, the “vast majority are for non-violent offenses.” Trump admin still insists they’re “terrorists.” www.cbsnews.com/news/what-re...

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

Japanese and Chinese markets are down 8% and 10% respectively. Black Friday in 1929 was -11%. Tomorrow could easily be the worst crash in American history. The worst thing? It’s 100% intentional.

Not joking: as of today Donald Trump is the absolute greatest destroyer of wealth the country has ever had

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

Solid reporting

Judge Xinis is sticking by her demand that Trump return a Maryland man erroneously sent to El Salvador, writing in a new order: "Defendants seized Abrego Garcia without any lawful authority … and forcibly transported him to El Salvador in direct contravention of [immigration law]."

Sadly evergreen.

Then you must’ve only worked with the dumbest people alive, ma’am

BRENNAN: Isn't there some coordination on sequencing here? Wouldn't you remove the regulations & go ahead w/the tax cuts before you go to war with the entire world over trade? BARRASSO: The president has been talking about these tariffs. There is no surprise here. (Note how that's not an answer.)

Part time president Full time asshole

Of course we can move clothing production back to the US. Why do you think we've insisted on locking the minimum wage at $7.25 for all these years? by Mitch McConnell, Mike Johnson, and Donald Trump

There’s no denying it anymore: the pro-democracy movement is finally back on offense. Trump’s presidency is an unmitigated disaster. MAGA is imploding under the weight of its own lies, grifts, and failures. They’re not strong—they’re desperate. They’re flailing. And they know it.

Keep posting

I think this is a brilliant framing of this issue. If the government can send people to a third world country to a lifetime of involuntary servitude, that is slavery. Query whether this meets the “jurisdiction” requirement of the 13th Amendment (the officials sending them are!)

Building a mass movement (instead of a subculture) will require a lot of cringe, so get comfortable with it

Not content with addressing the German far right AfD party, Musk today addressed the Italian far right Lega party, led by the pro-Putin, anti-gay, anti-Islam Matteo Salvini. Musk’s politics are pretty clear - and pretty dangerous.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Jeffries: The notion that everyday Americans need to absorb pain brought on by Donald Trump and his group of MAGA billionaires is ridiculous. Every single House and Senate Republican supporting this needs to be thrown out of office.

Ah...the traditional Republican Stock Market Crash. It usually takes them a few years to accomplish it, but this time they pulled it off during the first 100 days.

I'm no good with patterns. Can someone help me out here?

"Jeffries is certainly correct that a third term is unconstitutional. But it does not follow that it is impossible. Trump is an insurrectionist occupying the presidency. That’s unconstitutional, but there he is. No one was willing to stop him. This is Trump’s entire playbook, endlessly repeated."

Breaking character: I’m not recommending that Trump be deposed but if Bernie had gotten elected and done this (not that he would have) he would 100% be deposed and I think everyone knows this

Harris Faulkner's Fox News show has been on for 20 minutes now. She has not mentioned tariffs or stocks once and a stock ticker isn't being displayed. Strong state media vibes.

What say you? 👇 Mad yet?!
