Hats off to Maine’s Gov. Janet Mills. Unlike too many others, she refuses to bow to Trump. “I have spent the better part of my career listening to loud men talk tough to disguise their weakness,”. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

They are obviously slow learners

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

When your tariff buffoonery drives the entire democratic free world, including Japan, to embrace China — you have fucked-up royally. Today, Blackrock CEO Larry Fink admitted the US is very close to a Trump-induced recession. 😳👇

“They were careless people…they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness…and let other people clean up the mess they had made…” -- F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby (April 10, 1925).

MTG dabbling in insider trading now too

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

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

Fox News kept telling its viewers that Kamala was the dumb one.

Stop calling 'em "tariffs on China" – these are tariffs on Americans for Chinese products.

FUNDSTRAT tonight: “.. in the last few days, we have had many conversations with macro fund managers. .. A few have quietly wondered if the President might be insane.”

All of this could have been avoided if enough people had just decided to vote for a competent Black Indian woman. Racism...the downfall of America.

Did anyone tell Trump that his so-called mandate to lower prices didn’t mean our retirement accounts? Now he’s doubling down, threatening a 104% total tariff on China. When malignant narcissism meets unbridled ignorance, bad things happen. Who knew?

I will pay any tariff for a framed copy of this

After destroying an American economy that was the "envy of the world," Trump is gifting himself a four-mile military parade in D.C. worthy of a fascist dictator. The June 14 exercise in narcissism coincides with the shitstain’s birthday and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.

RIP to one of rock’s greatest drummers, Clem Burke. Here’s one of his many unforgettable highlights!

They have the power to stop him… THEY CHOOSE TO LET HIM RULE WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS!!!

The MAGA fascists hope Saturday’s protests were a one-off. Let’s do it again on April 19 and as many times as it takes to rescue our country.

“He tried to kill his own Vice President. Do you think he cares about you?” -Barack Obama

Make no mistake, we will be seeing a massive stock market crash in the very near future possibly even tomorrow and it will be done deliberately by a criminal who knows nothing of business and everything about fraud and bankruptcy.

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.
