Senators Chuck Grassley (R) and Maria Cantwell (D) just introduced a bill to reassert Congress’s power over tariffs. —President must notify Congress on new tariffs within 48 hours of imposition. —Congress must approve them within 60 days or they expire. www.cantwell.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Wait a minute, a Tariff on the McDonald Islands. That must mean a happy meal will cost 20% more!

Trump bends the knee to Putin, again.

Dead people telling the President to pursue a trade war with an uninhabited island is real George III territory

🔥Rufus Gifford, former U.S. amb. to Denmark, unloaded on JD Vance for saying Denmark “is not a good ally”: Go to Denmark and say it to the faces of the parents of the young men and women who lost their lives alongside U.S. troops. Say it to them!

Only the best people

Trump is now offering human sacrifices to his idol Putin.

Plausible since these well-financed adversaries probably have subscriptions to The Atlantic

White House says no one will be fired over the Signal scandal because no one involved was trying to cure cancer.

Only in America.

NEW: Another day, another fascist crime.🧵 Jerce Reyes Barrios, a pro soccer player, was tortured by the regime in Venezuela. He sought asylum in the US & was due a final hearing next month. BUT with no criminal record, nor gang membership, ICE has trafficked him to the hell prison in El Salvador.

this stuff is happening across the country and even more intensively downstream of the veterans admin but it's happening in so many places at once and without any public notification that it's still only barely emerging in the news

Elon Rittenhouse.

America is already a pariah nation to the world

I’ve said this before (from experience). When you cut federal workers you don’t save money, you instead spend more on contractors. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/b...

You heard Trump’s attorney general — if you visit a Tesla dealership, she will prosecute you. Be safe! Shop somewhere else.

The cruelty is boundless

Everyone should be screaming like this! More of this, now please!

Donald Trump we hope this London ad helps with your presidential Tesla campaign you absolute pillock x

This is a huge fucking deal, if true. We cannot be trusted.

Breaking: Trump to impose 50% tariffs on all EU goods for 90 minutes

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.

Wow. If facial reactions can tell us anything, ACB does not appear to be a Trump sycophant. Certainly she’s not wearing the admiring submission of Thomas et al.

My dad (dual citizen in Ottawa): I didn’t want to say anything because I didn’t want you to worry. But it’s true. I mean… we now have two… TWO burrito places in down!

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

Telling it like it is

Me: I can’t believe UK voters chose to torch their economy with Brexit. That can never be topped. American voters:

To be clear, the U.S. is leveling punishing tariffs on its allies while discussing easing sanctions on Russia.

Tracking the performance of the S&P 500 through 100 days of an administration because I don't want to grade.

As you watch Trump berate and put his hand on Zelenskyy just ask yourself one simple question: could you ever imagine him speaking to Putin like this?

Think about this for a hot second

How it started / How it’s going

Every news outlet reporting Elon Musk's comment about accidentally canceling Ebola prevention efforts and quickly restoring them should also say they haven't been restored, they're still canceled, the outbreak-fighting teams are dismantled, the money is gone www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

😳 this dude ran the FSB [KGB]!

US Supreme Court rules 6-3 that poisoning your rival is an official act.

Cuts both ways, bitch

#Zelensky in Munich says what many think but are afraid to say: The old days are over. The U.S. doesn’t see Europe as a partner. Europe must build its own army, together with #Ukraine

He's not a "kid." He's an adult, with an important govt job. The posts weren't "stupid." They were hatefully racist. His life isn't "ruined." He lost a job. Holding a govt employee accountable is not a "reward" for a journalist. The reporter doesn't get a cookie.
