Trump has revoked a U.S. citizen’s Social Security benefits in the hopes they would leave the country. This comes after the administration filed 6,000 immigrants into the SSA’s “death master file,” stripping them of their legal ability to work and receive benefits.

“The Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying ‘anti-Christian bias’ as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new order on supporting employees of Christian faith.”

Just to be clear, this post earlier is now a crime 👇

BREAKING: The House passed a bill that limits judges' ability to block the Trump administration's unconstitutional actions nationwide. This bill is a threat to the rule of law and endangers all of our rights — the Senate must reject it.

He literally tweeted: This is a great time to BUY! Just hours ago. And then he paused tariffs. He’s literally committing crimes in front of the entire world. 😳

How good are jellybeans, y'all? Just plain old regular Brachs. Easter candy is awful for me but it sure brings back fun memories.

Today's stock market crash was the worst since the Spring of 2020. Can you guess who was president during *both* crashes? I bet you can!

The optics of Trump demolishing the economy and then peacing out for some R&R at a Saudi-funded golf tournament held at a private club he still owns and profits from aren’t great

[Time for a cognitive/neurological exam] Trump appears to freeze for 30 seconds during NRA speech "was praising the state of Texas before he suddenly fell silent at the lectern.... At one point in the lengthy pause, the former president shook his head" www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
