So Trump completely caved again--after doing enormous damage--saying the tariffs on China will be reduced "substantially" and he will not fire Powell. Everyone lost. No one gained. I say again, how could 78 million people be this stupid?

Eliminating Head Start. Laying off all the CDC employs who work on lead poisoning. Discrediting childhood vaccines during a measles outbreak. Cutting funds for school lunches. A look at some of the under-the-radar ways the Trump administration is waging war on America's children: wapo.st/4jcUg2f

Trump promised to reduce costs, but instead, his tariffs are making life harder for working families. Higher prices at the pump, more money spent at the grocery store. It’s a direct hit on your wallet. Let him drown in our blue wave! #BoyBye

Keep calling your republican senators! Please!

From the producers of “Honey, I shrunk the economy” and “Throw Medicaid from the train”… Brace yourself for their next horror reboot… “Black Monday: The Fuckening” Releases tomorrow nationwide.

JPMorgan raises recession odds this year to 60%.

Are we winning yet?

Because the GOP = Guardians of Putin!

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

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

This is good news but don't trust the polls, people. Get out and vote like your SS check and your Medicaid depend on it. Because it does. Come on Florida, you owe us one...or 10 lol.

Musk told millions that 8 & 11 yr old children were receiving business loans from Social Security. He had DOGE cut off the money. Those WERE NOT LOANS. They’re Soc Security payments to children whose parents died. Those are survivor benefits. He stole money from f*cking orphans!!!

Are you listening, @schumer.senate.gov? She's talking about you. And that crowd in Tempe, AZ agrees with what she's saying. For the good of the country and democracy, step down as Senate Minority Leader. It's clear you don't have the fight in you, and we need a leader who knows how to fight.

1. EXCLUSIVE An internal Social Security Administration memo, dated March 13 and obtained by Popular Information, lays out a plan to sabotage the agency. The memo itself predicts "service disruption," "operational strain," and "budget shortfalls" will result. Follow this thread for details. 🧵

THOSE BASTARDS. SHARE THIS FAR & WIDE ABOUT DONALD TRUMP & ELON MUSK PLAN TO SABOTAGE SOCIAL SECURITY! SOCIAL SECURITY IS OUR MONEY! popular.info/p/exclusive-...

Right.

If this is really the Senate D plan, it's a joke. Come on, @schumer.senate.gov, this is too clever by half. The test is this: If you don't use your power to stop the Trump-Musk reign of lawbreaking and destruction, and instead facilitate it, you've failed. This plan could end up doing the latter.

Trump either has to let Musk go for his statements today on eliminating Social Security and Medicare calling Senator Mark Kelly a traitor, or he owns these comments. Feel like we are at a critical moment in this terrible partnership.

Farmers are going to run to Congress for another handout to deal with the retaliatory tariffs and the answer from Dems has to be "no." This isn't out of retribution, it's because we can't keep creating escape hatches for GOP members of Congress. For the benefit of all, keep the pressure on them.

Howard Lutnick, Trump’s billionaire buddy turned commerce secretary, has confirmed that the administration was simply lying to MAGA supporters about not touching Social Security and Medicare.

The hypocrisy is strong with this one.

Pass it on. #StandWithUkraine

Just look at this douchebag. Standing at a cabinet meeting, dressed in a t-shirt, jacket and hat, overshadowing everyone like the vulture he is picking our country clean. Almost like he’s making sure everyone sees his custom tesla belt buckle. Fuck him, and fuck everyone in that room.

'He really sold me out': Trump admits to getting bamboozled by French president: Donald Trump admitted to making agreements he didn't quite understand with French President Emmanuel Macron. The U.S. president met with his French counterpart Monday to discuss ending the war in Ukraine, which Macron…

The Mad King had a bad week - the economy is slowing, inflation is rising, his poll numbers/consumer confidence are falling, cracks are appearing in his Congressional support and folks are starting to rise up against his historic betrayal of America. More 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/the-mad-ki...

This is how it’s done.

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul: It's time. You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor. Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York. REMOVE ADAMS NOW. Sincerely, A New Yorker

President Musk dominates the room while Vice President Trump looks weak… Seriously though, WHY is Elon Musk answering questions in the Oval Office??

Trump: “When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One.” BREAKING: US inflation heats up to 3%, higher than expected.
