Republicans in Congress can end this any time

Whenever I point out how obviously incompetent Elon Musk and Donald Trump are, I will often be asked, "Well, how did they make so much money if they aren't competence?" Americas so often confuse wealth with competence. Elon's daddy owned a gem mine. And Donald's daddy gave him over $400,000,000.

90 percent. They sent innocent people to a gulag so Trump could look like a tough guy. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Neguse demolishes Arrington's hypocrisy: "When the stock market dropped 1k points years ago, you rushed to bemoan Biden's actions. You condemned it. Now the market drops 1k points every day for the last week and you claim it's the economy running well. Do you understand why that's a tough argument?"

Since tariffs, I noticed a surprising trend: elite Trump supporters saying they might have made a mistake. So I asked them what they were thinking, both in November and today. One big takeaway: they thought Elon was actually competent. That error proved catastrophic. www.vox.com/on-the-right...

Like the meme says, you can't lose an election if nobody can vote. With TX disenfranchising a Dem House district, and a coup over an NC judicial race, GOP strategy for coping with Trump's shrinking presidency hinges on voter suppression My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

"It's basically an open door controlled by Musk for all American's most sensitive information with none of the rules that normally secure that data," an IRS worker alleges to WIRED.

If you are an NC resident and voted in November, please check if your name or the names of any family areone of the 60K votes being challenged. If so, confirm ASAP with your Board of Elections. You only have two weeks. The website to check linked in the reply. www.newsobserver.com/news/politic...

Watch as MAGA hats and tees get exceptions.

Heaven forbid that this simple-minded buffoon would allow his crashing the United State's economy, or the return of the remains of four people killed in our military, to interfere with yet one more stupid golf game for this superficial scam-artist to cheat at.

More than 500 law firms on Friday threw their support behind some of their embattled peers, declaring that President Trump’s recent crackdown on the law firm industry poses “a grave threat to our system of constitutional governance and to the rule of law itself.”

🚨🚨👇🏼👇🏼 “sending a prisoner outside the country didn’t deprive the court of jurisdiction; instead, it exposed the officials responsible to a raft of severe punishments”….see below NOW GET THIS DONE‼️

A police state with a really good library

Roosevelt: "FDR intended it to be constructed so that, as he put it, no damn politician could attack it. That's why it has its own dedicated funding source. Dwight Eisenhower said politicians could attack it, but they would be booted out of office very quickly." www.alternet.org/fdr-social-s...

“please let donald trump destroy your future for reasons that we’re going to keep secret until an undisclosed future date”

Welcome to the #Trumpcession. Repeat it often. Make it viral. Make the GOP pay for supporting fascism. This can make a difference. #Trumpcession #Trumpcession #Trumpcession

Trump says the crash is “to be expected” because he “inherited a terrible economy” Reality: The Economist called 🇺🇸’s economy “the envy of the world” as Biden’s term ended 👇🏽 His trade war is to blame

oh, Canada 😍

Wow Over 275,000 lost their jobs in March-mainly because of DOGE That’s the most since the pandemic And nearly 500,000 are out of work so far this year THAT’S the most since 2009 Now, this is all BEFORE the tariffs hit Because the coming trade war will likely create even MORE jobless Americans

For years, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has been standing trial for corruption. Now, he is locked in a separate standoff with Israel’s law enforcement authorities, a police investigation that has renewed opposition calls for his resignation.

The question of if a country could fuck itself harder than the UK did with Brexit has today been answered.

History will ask why they weren't shot on sight.

🧐Just checking in on a few folks from November…

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq

Just so we’re all clear: Congress could vote to end this tariff madness tomorrow. Every Republican who refuses to do so is actively supporting a $6 TRILLION tax hike on Americans.

77 million Americans thought they were voting to lower the price of eggs, or to create a Christian nation, or to prevent a trans girl from bouncing a basketball. Instead they may have voted for a global depression, or world domination by the Chinese, or both.

Again.

JD Vance straight up lies on Fox & Friends, claims 40 percent of people calling the Social Security hotline are "actually committing fraud."

Republicans have controlled the Supreme Court since before I’ve was born and conservatives have generally dominated the judiciary since Reagan, yet the “liberal” legal academy has been corrupting the judiciary the entire time? Delusional stuff. They’re just mad that law exists at all.

Faux news knows

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

How the Republican war on empathy turned America into a playground for sociopaths www.rawstory.com/raw-investig...

Dear media, It’s not: “President Trump Discusses Possible Third Term.” It’s: “Kleptocratic Wannabe Dictator Says He Can Serve ‘Third Term’ In Blatant Disregard Of The Constitution He ‘Swore’ An Oath To Defend.” You’re welcome.

Get him, Governor.

College Republicans endorse Brad Schimel. The president of their Wisconsin chapter gets $1M from Elon Musk. Nothing to see here.

According to God…

“Under that ruling, a convicted white-collar criminal could hand Trump a briefcase with $1 billion in cash in return for a pardon, and the president remains immune from prosecution. This is the power of a king, and Trump is wielding this authority, tyrannically.”

People are now referring to Pete Hegseth as “WhiskiLeaks” and I’m furious. I’m furious that I didn’t think of it first. 😜

Oh, so Russia knows everything that Jeff Goldberg knows, and who knows whether the clown car principals' group has given up Signal. They still want to skirt FOIA and records preservation laws

ICYMI, @propublica.org uncovered Project 2025 training videos last summer. And here’s where they discuss how to evade FOIA & hide their agenda from the public. The “Houthi PC small group” didn’t arise from ignorance of the law or incompetence. They just got caught.
