Time for sleep. Hopefully, I'm relaxed enough to drift off. See everyone tomorrow, coffee in hand.

Mirroring Russia's 2022 invasion strategy of Ukraine, the US Trump regime will deploy troops along the Panama Canal for what it claims is "training, exercises and "other activities"" after months of threatening invasion. Panamanians say the US of launching a “camouflaged invasion”. #panamainvasion

Even if some had past legal issues, mass-classifying 6,000 living people as dead is not justice—it’s collective punishment without due process. If there are real threats, use legal channels. But erasing identities to force people out? That’s authoritarianism, not immigration policy.

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Good way to see the current tariffs, as of literally today, is no tariffs on high value add manufactured goods marketed to middle and upper middle classes. Massive tariffs for cheap consumer items which amount to the biggest economic privilege of working class/middle class life in US.

‘Fawning’ is a response where a person gives a servile display of exaggerated flattery in order to gain favor or advantage. AKA: ass-kisser, bootlicker, toady, suck-up brown-noser, etc.

Hopefully, someday, the DOGE goons are frog-marched to prison. DOGE Goons Physically Drag Social Security Worker from Desk www.thedailybeast.com/doge-goons-p...

this is quite the photo and caption www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/u...

the transfer to El Salvador of US deportees is, per Pres Bukele, a straight up contract that has “nothing to do w/foreign policy.” The fees we are paying makes their entire prison system “sustainable.” Don’t see how US can make argument that bringing A-G back is some sensitive foreign policy matter

lord willing we will one day prosecute miller for crimes against humanity

Frost: They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.

Forgive the rant, but what the hell is this Administration doing?  Not gonna be easy to undo the damage, folks. But I’ve got some ideas on where to start.

Buckle up, folks. This is a constitutional crisis unfolding before our eyes.

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

AOC: And his whole presidency began with launching tools for bribery, meme coins to fleece working people and move around money in the dark, extortion settlements from media companies and law firms who gladly pay them

The ultra wealthy are building bunkers to insulate themselves from the world they're rapidly destroying. It's why we have to work together because it really is a 0.1% vs the 99.9% situation www.newyorker.com/magazine/201...

I said it before and I’ll say it again: Target not only turned its back on diversity it spit in our faces. My wife and I haven’t been back since January — and we won’t be. We take our money where people like us are seen, valued, and respected. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏻

Cost of extending the Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion Remember this as we hear about "wasteful government spending."

Trump’s NAZI brown shirts ICE is nothing more than a weapon of white supremacy and anti-Muslim hate. From the Muslim ban to relentless raids, this is systemic cruelty. Rep. Gabe Amo is exposing the truth—this isn’t just policy, it’s a disgrace. #Resist #LoveOverHate www.newsbreak.com/miami-herald...

NEW: It’s 5 p.m. ET, and DOJ is officially late on its first daily court-mandated report on the status of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. But! Abrego Garcia's attorneys have just asked Judge Xinis to order the govt to take these specific steps to return him: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

First Carney, now Zelensky. Getting found out for the clown of a negotiator you truly are! 🤡🎪🤡

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

Fading! It's fucking gone!! Why would anyone trust the US any longer?

Heparin is cheap and essential to millions of hospitalized people. Tariffs could disrupt the supply chain that gets ingredients from China to their beds.

Trump administration opens half of National Forests to logging. An emergency order lifts protections on over half of U.S. Forest Service lands as the Trump pushes to increase timber production.

THREAD: Some folks have asked why Donald doesn’t just pick up the phone and bring Abrego Garcia back. Besides the cruelty, what’s the point of defying the lower court’s order? Basically, he wants to see if he can get away with it. 1/

We’ve been through a lot together, and recognize this week was particularly tough. Let's discuss:

Tim Apple made the call

Thank you for all the kind notes about my piece this morning. Happy Passover.

Marjorie Taylor Greene buying Apple, Pi, Qualcomm, Dell, Amazon, and Lam stocks seems a lot more sus before the tariff exemptions on electronics components, smartphones, semiconductors, and computers. Martha Stewart would like a word.
