Fun fact: Trump is actually spending MORE money than Biden did. Musk and DOGE are a FRAUD — their real role is shutting down parts of the government that regulate Musk’s businesses while redirecting govt contracts to Musk and other insiders.

FACT CHECK: Most people on Medicaid work and the small percentage of people who don't include seniors citizens, veterans and people with disabilities who are not able to work. Imposing Medicaid work requirements is a scheme to rob those most vulnerable of the care they need.

Republicans are dismantling the government, weakening the dollar, harming our allies, trying to cut Medicaid and Social Security, passing tax cuts for the rich, killing regulations, dismissing scientists, and kidnapping immigrants. All for greed and racism. Burning the world down.

JUST NOW: Republicans just passed their budget bill, which will slash Medicaid by nearly $1 trillion to pay for massive tax giveaways for the ultra rich, while Trump is in the Oval Office BRAGGING ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY HIS BILLIONAIRE FRIENDS MADE from his manipulation of the stock market yesterday!

New: A helicopter has crashed into the Hudson River, the New York Police Department said, the latest in a string of aviation incidents in the past few months

I'd bet most Americans don't realize the six Nazi extermination camps during World War II also involved rendition to a foreign country. Auschwitz, Treblinka, Belzec, Sobibor, Chełmno and Majdanek were all located in Poland. Not Germany. Important historical fact.

The insiders seem to have had a 20min warning before the public

“Forget Trade. Here’s the Real Reason Trump Wants Tariffs” A power-crazy president is using tariff relief to force big business to kiss his ring. Me for Zeteo. Read/share/subscribe:

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

First came the market manipulation. Now come the bribes.

President Donald Trump commenting on how much money his billionaire friends made when he paused tariffs, "He made $2.5 billion today, and he made $900 million" Is this corruption, insider trading, or just good timing and coincidence?

“If the government can disappear anyone it wishes, dump him in a Salvadoran dungeon and prevent any court in this country from providing relief, we all should be very, very afraid,” two constitutional scholars write in a guest essay.

The rally added more than $400 billion to Apple’s market cap, which now stands just under $3 trillion.

“This was part of the plan” Let’s recap: Declare a global trade war Panic the markets Create massive selloffs; $10T+ in losses Weaken the dollar Take most of it back at the last minute Recoup some of the losses you were responsible for People rejoice coz it could’ve been much worse Heckuva plan.

Trump: I blame the people sitting behind this desk for being stupid, and incompetent

You lost your 401k... and did Trump make money doing it? He posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" just hours before pausing the tariffs. It's time for everyone to ask House Republicans why they aren't fighting for an investigation into this.

IRS Chief just quit in the middle of tax season and a week before tax day bc they’re forcing IRS to share info with ICE to deport immigrants who pay their taxes bc none of this has nothing to do with who is paying taxes but about control and racism. Fascism.

NEW: Having Gutted the IRS, DOGE is Now Preparing to Shutter the Tax Division at the Department of Justice. For the Super-Rich Paying Taxes Will Probably Be All But Voluntary Going Forward. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/doge-...

McGovern: "How is any company supposed to forecast for their future, build a plant, hire workers, if they have no idea what the hell this president is gonna do in his next tweet? ... I need a neck brace to be able to get through all this."

Kudos to the European Union for securing the 10% tariff 'Brexit benefit' four days after the United Kingdom.

The tariff policy changes every ten minutes. What a joke. It’s nuclear grade incompetence that would be laughable except they’re ruining people’s lives for sport. Just shameful.

Governments are being incredibly naive on AI, their job is to protect the interests of their citizens, AI is transforming the job market, and it’s gathering pace. Regulation is a tool to prevent the worse excesses in the hands of the tech bros. It’s shortsighted to give this up.

True

pro tip: if your government claims to have no money for children's heathcare but will eagerly waste millions on a gaudy military parade to stroke the fragile ego of a broken-inside president, you just might live in a shithole country

Effective immediately, the government says it will begin screening immigrant social media for activity that officials think indicates support for antisemitism.

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

Elon Musk’s young DOGE goons have made yet another tech blunder as they launched untested software, crashing the Social Security website.
