🚨🚨Calling all North Carolina voters!! Here is a list of every voter that Jefferson Griffin is trying to disenfranchise, please if you are a NC voter check to see if your name is on here, you have 15 days to cure your ballot to make sure your vote counts. thegriffinlist.com/assets/griff...

The economy is crashing and the President is fucking golfing. He's hitting balls and I'm taking calls. This isn’t “America First.” It's Trump first. So, Mr. President, get your ass off the golf course and fix this.

🚨 🚨 🚨 the North Carolina state court is going along with Jefferson Griffins request to disenfranchise tens of thousands of NC voters by throwing out their votes. And thereby hand the seat on the NC SCT to Griffin when Justice Allison Riggs won the election. This is a HUGE deal.

Ohio's latest budget proposal slashes over $100 million from public libraries. Support for low-income families, child care, and parental resources are also on the line - while corporations keep getting tax breaks. Budgets are moral documents, and this one is clear. Follow for more Ohio updates.

when your economy policy is just revenge vibes

CHINA HITS U.S. WITH 34% RETALIATORY TARIFF China also added 11 additional U.S. companies to its "unreliable entities" list, virtually banning them from doing business in China or with Chinese companies, and expanded export controls on seven types of rare earth related items. Prices to skyrocket.

The only relevant political point is that Republican members of Congress are all supporting these tariffs 100%. They could stop them at any moment. Each day is on them. Everyone with a messaging bullhorn needs to make that clear. They can pull the plug now or pay the price at the polls next year.

Futures down another 3.5% across the board. I don't know that Americans fully grasp what is going on.

If Trump is willing to hurt the economy, he must be getting something he wants even more in return. That thing is power. With tariffs, Trump can exercise a kind of corruption that the country hasn’t experienced in some 150 years.

Trump declared a bogus "national emergency" to invoke and abuse executive power to enact these dumbass tariffs. There was no emergency. He made up a fake crisis and shoving a very real one down all our throats. www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

Regardless of who ends up owning TikTok, one thing is for certain: the platform will be beholden to Donald Trump. More in @status.news: www.status.news/p/donald-tru...

March saw the third-highest number of layoffs in U.S. history, and 80% of them were caused by DOGE This was before the tariffs It's just...unbelievable

A reminder that collapsing the economy is not an unintended consequence of autocracy, it’s a feature.

The price of coffee could soar for Americans after Trump announced tariffs on countries worldwide, including steep rates on Brazil, Colombia and Indonesia—from where the U.S. buys most of its unroasted coffee beans. America has minimal coffee-growing capacity, due to the climate, and must import. ☕️

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

They obviously didn’t, the emergency declaration is nonsense and Congress should override that declaration tomorrow.

Trade war on—recession coming. He slaughtered our economy. These price hikes on goods from... Cambodia: +49% Vietnam: +46% Bangladesh: +37% Thailand: +36% China: +34% Taiwan: +32% Indonesia: +32% Switzerland: +31% South Africa: +30% India: +26% South Korea: +25% Japan: +24% Malaysia: +24% EU: +20%

BREAKING NEWS: Trump said his administration will apply a 10% tariff on all imports, and that other trading partners will face additional “reciprocal tariffs” ranging as high as 49%.

this guy just unilaterally signed and put into effect the largest tax hike on americans in our history

A "national economic emergency" is how His Magasty is justifying imposing tariffs (that are otherwise the job of Congress). WE HAD THE STRONGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD.

This is not the mental framework of someone who will change his mind. He will call all negative economic data "fake"

We live in Bizarro's Upside Down Kingdom. Trump's "Liberation" is America's Economic Destruction

Ohio Republicans proposed slashing public school funding by $450 million, calling it unstainable. But they want to set aside $600 million in taxpayer backed bonds for a new Browns stadium. Kids get crowded classrooms. Billionaires get luxury boxes.

The April 5 HANDS OFF! Rally/march is rain or shine. Get a rain coat from a dollar store or thrift store; cover it in messages in permanent marker. Get an inexpensive umbrella, use markers to write your message; vinyl table cloth, make it a cape with your message on it. #handsOff #april5 #resist

Ohio Republicans have refused to listen to their constituents, so we're taking matters into our own hands. You're invited to The People's Town Hall hosted by Ohio Dems with special guest @governorwalz.mn.gov. Join us as we talk about what's at stake & how we fight back. ohiodems.org/townhall

We need new leaders in Washington. I’m running for Senate to be one. Let’s go.

BREAKING: It's official. Sen. Cory Booker has been speaking on the Senate floor for more than 24 hours. It's now the longest floor speech in the history of the Senate. Booker is speaking in protest of Trump, Musk, and the current administration.

Cory Booker as he breaks Strom Thurmond's speaking record: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."

Real whiplash watching the Trump message go from “we’ll fix everything on day one” to “suck it up buttercup, this is gonna hurt.”

Murphy: "Democrats should stay focused on the central storyline. This week, Republicans are gonna be voting on a procedural step to try to cut Medicaid by $880b... it is not a coincidence that Trump is floating this idea of running for a 3rd term during a weak when an outright theft is happening."

People have been screaming for action from Dems for over 2 months Recognize when Dems stand up & push back. You may want more, but it won’t come if you scorn any & all action. Offer some kind of public “payoff,” & more people will stand up. Don’t fall into yet another Democratic purity test.

Vance is such a strange breed of liar because it's precisely his appeal to facts and his desire to appear in command of them that trips him up and allows him to be caught.

Here comes the counterstrike. @politico.com www.politico.eu/article/eu-t...

In a suit and tie.Since last night. You can WATCH. And I’m hearing that Sen. Warnock is up next.

Sen. Cory Booker has been speaking on the Senate floor for more than 13 hours — taking aim at Trump, Musk, and America's 'moral moment'. Just after hitting the 12-hour mark, Booker said, "I am standing here because of a national crisis that is growing."

Sen @booker.senate.gov is still going. Support him! WATCH! Call your Senator & tell them you agree with Booker. This has gone far enough. 202-224-3121 www.senate.gov/legislative/...

Oh my God, I just had a full night’s sleep and Cory Booker is still going… www.youtube.com/live/rCUK2Vb...

“.. Each of the post-war recessions can all lay claim to some kind of horrific honorific. .. This one’s claim to infamy is that it’ll be the only one self-inflicted.” 🇺🇸 @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Listen to Sen Cory Booker rip into anyone who voted for the CR! He’s pledged to hold the floor tonight for as long as possible. Let’s lift him up and show him support as he gets in good trouble! @booker.senate.gov @corybooker.com

We're 1 week away from the April 7th voter registration deadline to vote in this year's Primary Election. Frank LaRose is back to his ole' tricks, purging 350k+ Ohio voters. So check your registration TODAY! voterlookup.ohiosos.gov/voterlookup.... Then share this post so Mr. Weenie doesn't win.

BREAKING: The House will vote on the SAVE Act this week. If the bill passes, more than 21 million Americans could be blocked from voting. 1/

Ignore the third term talk - it’s meant to distract you, and it’s working. “No person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States.”

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

The one industry that is THRILLED with all this? The media. The daily press availabilities, the constant drama swirl, the unhinged social media posts. This is EXACTLY what they hoped for, they could not give the tiniest shit what he's doing to the country or democracy writ large.

Trump in PANIC over Signalgate.. hence going after Smithsonian and another law firm. STAY FOCUSED.

People respond to “call your Senator” with “but mine are both Republicans.” Precisely. The only way anything will change is with PRESSURE. Signalgate is a serious breach & display of lying & incompetence at the highest levels. Call them! 202-224-3121 www.armed-services.senate.gov/about/member...
