Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

"It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research." J.B. Pritzker

This is NOT winning

Dear "Christians" for Trump. Are you OK with this?

The cruelty and the stupidity is the point

Seems dangerous to the safety of the American people. German outlet reportedly finds Trump officials’ private contact info online thehill.com/homenews/adm...

Seems like an issue. US pharma tariffs would raise US drug costs by $51 billion annually, report finds finance.yahoo.com/news/exclusi...

Let's use this power wisely!!!

About 46% of Americans live with unsafe levels of ozone, particulate pollution or both, according to a report from the American Lung Association. The Trump administration's plans to loosen environmental regulations and cut funding for air quality research would make matters worse, the report says.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

KIMBERLY-CLARK: "We currently expect changes in the global tariff environment to result in approximately $300 million of additional costs this year. We also think it’s reasonable to expect economic pressure, especially on value-conscious consumers to escalate as we progress throughout the year” $KMB

Bad for school kids, bad for farmers, and sure as hell won’t “make America healthy again.”

A new study models the impact of the implosion of U.S.-funded disease treatment and prevention in the developing world — and suggests that Elon Musk and Marco Rubio will go down as among history’s greatest monsters if funding and effective administration are not restored.

“The Pentagon is in ‘total chaos’ and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and continuous missteps at the highest levels of the department.”

Demonizing journalists who “sneaked” their way into the chat won’t be as easy this time. 🤡 @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Trump’s presidency is costing Americans more every day.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Mack Truck announces layoffs — due to truck orders that have been “negatively affected by .. the impact of tariffs.” @penncapital-star.com @scottlincicome.bsky.social penncapital-star.com/briefs/mack-...

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

The Trump Economy pretty much sucks. #TrumpEconomy

(Bloomberg) - The US economy is set to lose billions of dollars in revenue in 2025 from a pullback in foreign tourism and boycotts of American products, adding to a growing list of headwinds keeping recession risk elevated. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

Eleven weeks apart. 🤡 @cnbc.com

This is who this country voted for. Golfing while the world burns. My heart hurts for this country.

I hope all the tech bros whose IPO's are getting delayed are rethinking their support of a demented carnival barker as President. #trumpeconomy

Reminder: as the Dow is tanking faster than 2008, and four dead servicemen arrive at Dover, Trump is golfing: with the saudis

He hates the military. We are just props.

JPMORGAN: “.. Considerable uncertainty, .. [but] we have enough conviction to state that yesterday’s announcement of a 22% tariff increase pushes the risks of US/global recession to 60% from our previously stated risk of 40% from a month ago.”

“If Harris wins this election, the result will be a Kamala economic crash. .. A 1929-style depression. When I win the election, we will immediately begin a brand new Trump economic boom.” - Trump, 8/14/24

Are you happy, tech bros? Look what you've done to everyday Americans. #trumptariffs

This is our f-ing president. So embarrassing. Trump: "An old fashioned term that we use -- groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it."
