The Trump administration will never be able to out-evil itself. They are quickly destroying Social Security. But when 73 MILLION AMERICANS don’t receive the monthly check they’ve earned, there will be hell to pay. Millions of veterans collect social security. apnews.com/article/soci...

If you feel like being inspired by a big law firm, here's the opening to Sussman Godfrey's lawsuit against Trump and his executive order targeting the firm. It still is amazing other firms caved quickly to Trump's mob-like and unconstitutional shakedown. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

More proof, as if we need it, that if you stray from the fascist party line, you will be fired. Respect for Col Susannah Meyers; she did her duty, under a barely still there democracy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Any law firm that makes a deal with this tyrant is— 1) Cowardly; 2) Turning its collective back on the rule of law; 3) More invested in profits than ethics; 4) Willing to do Trump’s bidding no matter what; and 5) Embracing authoritarian rule. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

Big Brother is watching and listening. Surveillance is nothing new in an era of social media, CCTV, and drones. But what those in power do with the data they collect is very different now. Think Joe McCarthy on steroids. Our 1st amendment rights are under siege. www.npr.org/2025/04/09/g...

What the hell has Donald Trump been up to? Yet more corruption, no doubt. Senator Adam Schiff is demanding a congressional investigation into the distinct possibility that Trump engaged in insider trading or market manipulation when he abruptly paused his sweeping tariffs — a move that sent…

Trump has no idea what he’s doing, and the markets will likely reflect that in the coming days. No one likes unpredictability, especially when it’s coming from the country with the largest economy. The tariff game is a distraction at best. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

Trump wants to punish any state that implements strategies to combat global warming. Facilitating global warming. Creating tariff wars. Shuttering USAID, etc.. Trump harms our country, and the planet. Trump wants the world to fear him. But they’ll also fear us. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Imagine what would have happened had President Biden or Obama shot our economy in the heart and then left the White House to play in a Saudi-backed golf tournament for three days. And that’s only one egregious example of Trump’s astoundingly harmful leadership. apnews.com/article/stoc...

This!

The Israeli military didn’t admit to this “mistake” until confronted with video evidence. When will they have killed enough Palestinians? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/06/w...

I think Musk will try his best to destroy Social Security before he leaves DOGE. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump tanks the stock market and gets on his helicopter for a long weekend of golf. Sounds about right for a narcissistic dictator.

Just before Trump was elected, the US economy was “the envy of the world.” Yet in just two months, Trump is leading us into a recession. He is destroying our country. Our government. Our economy. And our democracy. Why? www.economist.com/special-repo...

This is part of a larger gutting — $2 billion in education funding across 41 states. This will affect children in grades K thru 12. Trump and Musk do not care about children. They continue to make that very clear. www.mass.gov/news/trump-a...

Tariff speech highlight— Brian from Detroit is the new Joe the Plumber. Brian is just a regular, gum chewing, Trump hat wearing, auto worker who supports tariffs. Poor Brian listened to Trump’s entire rambling, incoherent speech. One lie after another, which Brian and those like him will believe.

Senator Booker will soon break Thurmond’s record. SWEET KARMA!

Senator Booker is doing a great job, along with a little help from his friends. Every Democratic Senator should be joining in today. The stakes are too high for business as usual. apnews.com/article/cory...

Musk continues to buy elections. Of course it’s fine by Trump and MAGA, but how can it be legal in a democracy? Oh, wait… that’s our old form of government. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

When is enough, enough? Netanyahu has ordered the killing of more than 50,000 Palestinians, more than half women and children. This has become an evil endeavor that the US continues to help fund. It must stop. apps.npr.org/gaza-buildin...

Trump wants to annex Greenland. Meaning he wants to take it by force, if necessary, and hasn’t ruled out using military force. There is no difference between Putin attempting to annex Ukraine and Trump’s plan to annex Greenland. Who’s going to stop him? apnews.com/article/gree...

Apparently no one could stop this. The number of USAID employees will drop from 10,000 to 15. Dictator Trump gets his way, and millions will suffer for it. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/u...

Pilot to Hegseth: "You’re going to kill somebody.” For the safety of our troops, Hegseth has got to go.

April 5 Hands Off Rally is coming! National day of protest against Trump, Musk, MAGA, and fascism. Time to do more than post on social media. Time to get your poster boards and magic markers out. Time to bring some good trouble to the fight.
