PARANOID Trump FREAKS OUT over MAJOR LEAKS YouTube video by MeidasTouch youtu.be/H25hCMzEU44?...

Dealing with this Nazi fembot cunt must be the worst possible assignment for a reporter.

He’s got a point. After his stint working in the government I’d like him to go work in the mines.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Wow

Nero fiddled.

Murphy: This is also a political tool for Trump. You see what he’s doing with these universities and law firms... I think it’s likely the same thing could happen with the tariffs: each big company or industry will have to come to Trump to get tariff relief in exchange for political loyalty…

"Whatever the reason was, it exposed half of the electorate—the 77 million people who voted for Trump—as either fundamentally unserious, decadent, or weak. And no empire can survive the degeneration of its people."

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.

ICYMI: @ericswalwell.bsky.social tells the story of a father whose daughter will suffer from more seizures as a result of DOGE cuts at NIH. @mollyjongfast.bsky.social and I talk about how tariffs will hurt MAGA. Plus Mallory McMorrow launches her bid for US senate. open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

The Trump administration called it an “administrative error.” But that error led to a nightmare for Maryland Resident Abrego Garcia.

Congratulations to @booker.senate.gov for holding the longest filibuster in Senate history!! A record no longer reserved to a racist, but to a black man! Thurman used his filibuster to keep today from happening. Booker used his filibuster to protect us from people who would have supported Thurman.

I WILL YEILD FOR A QUESTION WHILE RETAINING THE FLOOR! THAT WAS SOME GOOD TROUBLE AT HIS BEST, @booker.senate.gov Bravo!!! That's the energy we need in our next President! #Booker2028

@kim.senate.gov you deserve a huge applause from all those watching & supporting @booker.senate.gov #Filibuster! I second what Senator Booker said. You are an energizer, Senator Kim, You have marked yourself on the right side history w/ your defense of social security & medicare! Well done, senator!

If you're not watching @SenBooker, preaching truth to power right now w/ his #Filibuster, on @cspan. Then you're missing out on one of the greatest moments in our Senate's history. His reading of letters will leave you heartbroken & energized at the same time! GO, SENATOR, GO!! @kim.senate.gov

If you're not watching @booker.senate.gov, preaching truth to power right now w/ his #Filibuster, on CSpan. Then you're missing out on one of the greatest moments in our Senates history.

Now that we’re in April and spring has sprung, I thought I’d bring a smile to your faces by reminding everyone: The Simpsons haven’t been wrong yet.

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

The lightning flash was not planned...

@repdangoldman.bsky.social: “I don’t think, by the way, that [Trump] is imagining a democratic election for his third term. He is trying to be Vladimir Putin. And we all know Vladimir Putin is in a ‘democracy’ — he runs for election, it's a bogus election. That’s Donald Trump’s goal.”

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com on Trump floating a 3rd term: “Do you really think that guy cares what the 22nd amendment says? Do you really think that guy won’t try anything to stay in power?... We can’t let Trump get us off the topics that warrant discussion, but we also have to be prepared.”

@jenpsaki.msnbc.com on Dems’ down-ballot success: "I know it's hard to stomach what this administration is doing to everyday Americans. And it's easy to feel powerless. But people have been making their voices heard at every turn, and it doesn't seem like they plan on stopping anytime soon."

Judge Susan Crawford just dropped a video against her opponent for a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court: "How corrupt is Brad Schimel?" Get out and vote for her, Wisconsin! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Really fascinating discussion with @petebuttigieg.bsky.social on SignalGate, tariffs, social security, China, Putin, 2024, and being a dad. Yes, I asked about ‘28 too. Listen to our Substack discussion on the go on Apple Podcasts. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Trump is sending a signal of fear. But he’s afraid too. My latest on Substack: open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

“Go to any military base in America...if they could talk honestly they would say it’s garbage.” Paul Rieckhoff, Founder and CEO of Independent Veterans of America, joins Deadline White House to discuss the lack of accountability from the Defense Sec/y Pete Hegseth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-R6...

@srkelleher.bsky.social on #tourism, what's going to happen w/ #FIFAWorldCup fans during #WorldCupUSA26?? #Trump #Homan #ICE are kidnapping & imprisoning pro-Gaza supporters & men whose only crime is tattoos of gay pride & @realmadridfc1.bsky.social support. Millions of FIFA fans fit these profiles.

💥 WTF: DEMOCRAT representative Vicente Gonzalez TX-34 is co-chair of the El Salvador caucus founded by Matt Gaetz Caucus tirelessly promotes the authoritarian president Nayib Bukele This includes reposting on X calls to “impeach the corrupt judges” who impede the actions of Trump & Elon Musk 💥

I am so beyond disgusted at the incompetence, the cover up, and the lack of concern for our national security by everyone in that Signal chain. Pete Hegseth should be fired immediately.

MASKED SECRET POLICE arrested a student on the sidewalk in broad daylight FOR WRITING AN OP/ED We are absolutely at that point now

Trump administration asks Supreme Court to freeze dozens of teacher training grants www.cnn.com/2025/03/26/p...

Postal workers & letter carriers are under attack, while mail service across MN – especially in our rural communities – continues to decline. Today, I met with the MN Rural Letter Carriers to discuss how I can best support them as we fight DeJoy & DOGE’s relentless attacks on the USPS workforce.

The Republicans will try to tell you that their budget proposal to cut SNAP and Medicaid will save us money. The reality is that it takes food from hungry kids, jeopardizes hundreds of thousands of jobs and weakens our supply chain - all while raising the debt.

The Admin's tariffs on steel and aluminum are hurting folks across the ag economy – including farmers who can their food. Yesterday, I spoke to the American Fruit and Vegetable Coalition about how we can work together to support American family farmers.
