Reserving judgement until more information comes out, but I’ll say this: The evidence in this case better be very, very compelling. Arresting *judges* is a slippery slope and not a line that should be crossed arbitrarily.

URGENT: This is not a crime A judge has the authority in her courthouse to excuse a defendant for God's sake Trump tried this in 1st term & he was thrown out of court 👉 www.courtlistener.com/docket/14997... PS the violation here was Patel's tweet & that's why he deleted. I'll be filing complaint

If it’s true that their only “evidence” against this judge is that she advised someone to leave out a side door, this is complete banana republic bullshit and should be unequivocally condemned by both parties.

After Abrego Garcia was deported, the administration initially scrambled to try to figure out how to bring him home, admitting that his alleged gang ties were tenuous, at best. Then the negative coverage started and they decided the fight would be a political win. Disgusting.

The fuck? This is untenable. Dude is a walking security threat.

Folks always ask me what stories aren’t getting enough attention. Pay attention to India and Pakistan - this is the most tense situation in several years and has the potential to spiral out of control if cooler heads don’t prevail.

Trump: hey Vladdy *bashful toe twist* Putin: what Trump: could you, like, stop attacking Kyiv? Putin: no Trump: well, I tried. Fuck you Zelenskyy

Please reply with “STOP” if you’d like to opt out of further peace deal negotiations 🙄

Again - what did we gain here? We have zero new trade deals. We’ve walked back almost everything we put in place, and we’re getting ready to walk back the rest of it. What’s the purpose?

BREAKING: I have no intention of piloting an F-22 Sorry, I thought we were just declining to do things we had no real authority to do anyway

What could go wrong? 🙄

The most concerning part about the DOGE / NLRB story is that the whistleblower claims a login attempt using VALID DOGE credentials was made from Russia shortly after DOGE started moving data.

Pope Francis really survived double pneumonia and acute respiratory distress only to meet with JD Vance and said “yeah, fuck this” RIP, sir.

Hegseth shared Yemen strike details in a separate signal chat that included his wife and brother. Cool, cool. Very normal administration we have here

Hey media: If your headline says “Putin declares Easter ceasefire in Ukraine” without also including the fact that Russian forces haven’t stopped fighting for even a second, you’re just helping his propaganda machine.

Welp, after 3 months of trying nothing meaningful to end the war they promised would be over within 24 hours, the Trump administration is exhausted and giving up. Absolute clown show.

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

Unemployment up. Stock market down. Mortgage rates up. Consumer confidence at worst levels since the Great Depression. Are we great again yet?

This is what I’ve been talking about - a lot of the GOP disagrees vehemently with what Trump is doing. They’re just too scared to do anything about it. Bunch of damn cowards.

DHS is threatening to revoke Harvard’s ability to host international students and the IRS is looking at revoking their tax exemption. The “stop the weaponization of government” crowd sure is quiet as fuck on this one.

👀👀👀👀

Judge Xinis to DOJ lawyer: “Cancel vacation. Cancel other appointments. I’m usually pretty good about this in my courtroom, but not this time.” She also agreed to allow the plaintiffs to depose up to 6 administration officials. Good first step, but need accountability.

The administration is looking for “nuclear verification” in a deal with Iran, meaning that they apparently won’t be trying to get Iran to stop enriching uranium completely. You know, kinda like we had in the JCPOA that Trump pulled out of in his first term. Absolute clown show.

Here you have two sitting presidents both claiming to not have the power to return a man they erroneously deported and detained. All while Trump also floated sending *US citizens* to El Salvador for crimes.

There’s a video circulating on social media that Trump raised the minimum wage to $25 an hour. 1. That’s a lie 2. Trump can’t do that 3. Trump wouldn’t do that even if could 4. Trump actually just *cut* contractor minimum wage.

After the attack on Shapiro’s residence, I feel like it’s important to remind people how easy it is for people to become irrevocably radicalized online. Right wing media (both “new” and legacy) is using the same tactics we see groups like Al-Qaeda use to recruit.

This is disgusting. Someone set fire to Shapiro’s home while he and his family were sleeping. I hope this person is caught quickly and held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.

Maher got Played like a fiddle 🎻

Good morning 🫂🫂 Last night in Kyiv was scary russia attacked with shaheds again The fire broke out not far from me. The air smelled like smoke. The windows shook. I couldn’t sleep for a long time After that… But somehow, morning came. I stood by the window, my eyes tired 🔽

On Dems not doing daily briefings, @mikemadrid.bsky.social says on my podcast, "You have to have a daily drumbeat message. You have to establish that tip of the spear. If not, you're just an army in disarray." Link to full podcast: www.patreon.com/c/PoliticsWi...

MAGA: these tariffs will bring China to its knees! Trump: oh btw electronics are exempt

Th judge should absolutely hammer the administration for this response. DOJ attorneys stonewalled the entire hearing today, telling her they had “no info” on all of her questions. Judge demands daily updates on the status of this case.

9-0?! SCOTUS IS SO WOKE!

How about this… a pussy massage? And if I cum, I cum. Just want you to touch me, feel me inside and out. Stretch me.

The stupid... it b-u-r-n-s...!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥

Yep. I’m hopeful that he’ll learn something from the market rebounding when he paused tariffs, but the fact is that he’ll probably only learn how easy it is to manipulate the market.

China just announced 84% tariffs on the US. There is no winner in a global trade war. This isn’t a negotiation, it’s an economic pissing contest that is going to ruin the economies of several nations if people don’t get their shit together.

New MAGA NPC software update just dropped (Not my photo - it was sent to me and I’m not sure who to credit)

🙄🙄🙄

At this point, you can’t convince me they aren’t manipulating the market. As soon as the indexes started peaking today, the White House started talking about tariffs on China, and everything is in the red again.

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

Did anyone tell Trump that his so-called mandate to lower prices didn’t mean our retirement accounts? Now he’s doubling down, threatening a 104% total tariff on China. When malignant narcissism meets unbridled ignorance, bad things happen. Who knew?
