This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Fascism is when a leader uses the power of the state to control or coerce private institutions—like Trump has tried to do with universities and private companies such as Apple. His attempts to dictate what schools can teach or how businesses should operate are textbook authoritarianism. Harvard

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

They are obviously slow learners

Signs you live in a deeply broken democracy: you find yourself pleasantly surprised that the Supreme Court said the executive branch can’t “accidentally deport somebody to a foreign prison” and in fact has to “get them back.”

The U.S. House of Representatives voted Thursday to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, a major voter suppression measure that, if it became law, could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters and badly undermine U.S. democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

One is made a national story every single week and the other is shhhhh.....

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.

Yup!

I know we are getting hit on multiple fronts, but this should be getting more attention.

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk: get your hands off our Social Security.

“There is only one thing worse than fighting with your allies, and that’s fighting without them.” —Victor Hugo We’re entering the “worse” phase.

Tim Walz: "It's not a 'woke policy' to provide food for children to get breakfast and lunch, and we get better outcomes from that. They defined things on their terms that weren't true ... we got timid."

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

Shoutout to Adam Schiff for saying what Republicans won’t—Trump’s tax cuts for billionaires are moving forward, and working people are about to lose their healthcare. Next: make every House Republican vote on it. Let them show us who they really work for.

How many train wrecks do we have to survive before we pull our heads out of our collective asses and let women run this country? They called it from day one.

We continue to skirt the core issue: Trump's brain does not work right, is getting worse, and these spasms of irrational and destructive behavior are escalating and will continue to escalate

This guy has collapsed the economy twice.

I wonder how many people realize the tariff on auto parts causes car insurance premiums to go up?

Trump slapped a tariff on the Heard and McDonald Islands yesterday. Uninhabited islands that are only home to wildlife. Tell me you don’t know what tf you’re doing without telling me you don’t know what tf you’re doing.

I find it outrageous as well.

This IS BAD - 1

If the point of Donald Trump’s tariffs was to destroy the US economy By making consumer goods unaffordable Tanking the stock market Setting up America for crushing retaliation And pissing off all of our allies He’s doing a helluva job

Trump's mass tariffs are stupid and would be the largest tax increase in history. Trump likes tariffs because he's a bully, because he's an authoritarian, because he doesn't care who gets hurt. Our bills would stop this. Republicans are nowhere to be found. youtube.com/shorts/KNGxX...

Trump voters have failed to grasp the fact that "Liberation Day” means liberating Americans from their savings and 401Ks? Trump’s tariffs are a massive tax on American families, raising the prices of groceries, cars, appliances, clothes, and infinitely more.
