As part of our commitment to free speech and to fighting antisemitism, we will be requiring all Jews enrolled at American universities to take personal responsibility for the killing of the Messiah. by Linda McMahon and J. D. Vance

When you have to spend a day with Trump

Thanks, White House, for giving the defendant’s lawyers more evidence of contempt. Swell of you.

Not even friendly nations are going to accept this kind of behaviour, and they fought back, not necessarily by raising tariffs, which only hurt the own population, but by targeting the US bond markets. It worked. This is why Trump surrendered on tariffs against most of the Western world.

The USA under Trump standing side by side with North Korea, Russia, Belarus, Nicaragua and more of that kind.

Rheinmetall also plans to built more than 1,000 Skyranger air defense systems. Overall, the German and by extension European defense industry is continuing to surge in both, production capacities and revenue. Source: Handelsblatt / N-TV

Even the production facilities in Ukraine will be extended and will exceed the initial plan of 150,000 shells per year.

German defense company Rheinmetall continues to massively extend production capacities. The new artillery shell plant in Unterlüß will have the production capacity of 350,000 shells per year, a significant increase of the initial plan to produce 200,000 shells per year.

Most importantly is that Ukraine has never given up on its core interests, specifically that not a single inch of Ukrainian soil will be surrendered to the Russian invasion.

Trump also concedes through Rubio that Europe needs to agree to any peace process. This means that Trump’s attempt to bypass Europe also failed.

I understand what Judge Xinis is doing. She is building a factual record so that that record will be crystal clear when this case gets back to the Supreme Court. But I also know it is taking too long. Two weeks is too long. Keep in mind Bukele will just kill Garcia at the last moment if he has to.

Musk’s staffers are reaching out to leaders of nonprofit organizations, demanding to assign DOGE team members to any institute or agency receiving federal funds.

How did Katy Perry manage to do something more cringe than marrying Russell Brand

Four R senators and four R House members could announce they're caucusing with the Dems for now, and will vote for Schumer for Majority Leader and Jeffries for Speaker, because the threat to the rule of law is dire. Meanwhile, they'll work with Democrats to construct guardrails against dictatorship.

I guess it’s good to know that the next Democratic president can ship Trump and his cabinet off to a Central American prison without a trial and we won’t ever have to worry about them coming back.

The President of the United States still hasn't commented on the Jewish Governor of Pennsylvania and his family being victims of a hate-fueled firebombing on Passover.

CBS News poll: 75% of Americans think the Trump tariffs will increase prices in the short term. 65% think the Trump tariffs will make the economy worse in the short term. 58% oppose the Trump tariffs on imported goods. 49% feel Trump's policies are making them financially worse off

Deporting America citizens to a foreign gulag seems…dictatory.

Buckle up for one of the nastiest Black Mondays in Wall Street history.

* U.S. ANNOUNCED JOB CUTS TOTAL 275,240 IN MARCH, RECORD HIGH FOR THE MONTH OF MARCH: CHALLENGER @reuters.com

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices."

"Thus far, the review of the Naval Academy's Library’s holdings has identified 900 books that may run afoul of Hegseth’s order... They include “The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr.” and a biography on Jackie Robinson..."

House GOP puts judges on ‘Wanted’ posters. Elon Musk pays voters to attend his WI rally. Trump floats a 3rd term. The world realigns on trade—without the U.S. And much more. Catch up on a wild day in politics:

Wait, what? Can it be that the White House Correspondents Assoc canceled Amber Ruffin's appearance at their annual dinner in order to placate the WH? Because the WH didn't like that she's been critical of them? Really? If so, time for the folks who made the decision to find another line of work.

NEW: Elon Musk’s artificial intelligence firm xAI has acquired his social media platform X in an all-stock transaction that values the company at $33 billion, including $12 billion worth of debt, the centibillionaire announced Friday. www.wired.com/story/xai-x-...

Ugh. Skadden Arps goes the way of Paul Weiss. Just today two major firms stood tall against Trump orders. Each capitulation makes the next one more likely.

Per White House pool: Trump has announced a deal with Skadden law firm in which the firm will provide $100 million in pro bono work that the administration approves of. “This was essentially a settlement,” Trump said.

@mark-carney.bsky.social Our response is to fight, to protect, and to build.

She must want Musk deported.

🤔 Crenshaw: “It’s a mistake and we’ve gotta move on… if Hegseth says there was no classified info I will take him at his word.” Slightly different reaction than the decades-long freakout over Hillary’s emails! 🤷🏼‍♀️

Just a reminder that America will in fact crush fascism. It will take a while and it will be messy. But bet on it.

Like the Koch brothers and other conservative billionaires, Dunn and Wilks want to slash regulations and taxes. Their endgame, however, is more radical: not just to limit the government but also to steer it toward Christian rule.

Trump getting the middle finger and thumbs down at the NCAA Wrestling Championship today

Vivian Wilson is Teen Vogue’s special issue cover star. The 20-year-old estranged daughter of Elon Musk discusses her modeling and TV aspirations, unusual extended family, and what she describes as the “cartoonishly evil” Trump admin.

awesome pattern

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

He told 33,000+ lies in his first term. Since math is not my strongest subject, can someone more capable please figure how many lies-per-day that averages? 🙏 Thanking you in advance, Mar🐫

2022: "The Supreme Court would NEVER overturn Roe v. Wade!" 2025: "The administration would NEVER take away Social Security!"

I voted for Donald Trump. Elon Musk's DOGE cuts to the NIH ended my chemo therapy trials and I will be probably be dead within a few months. Still, I have no regrets.
