I truly believe that the Musk-Trump co-presidency has already taken 90% of the actions necessary to crater the Social Security Administration. For the first time in 90 years, benefits are going to be interrupted. - @martinomalley.bsky.social

BREAKING: Trump's National Security Advisor Mike Waltz used GMAIL to discuss NATIONAL DEFENSE INFORMATION. That's LESS SECURE than Hillary's private email server. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Elon Musk promised he would eliminate the nearly $2 trillion budget deficit in year one. But DOGE won’t just fall short of Musk’s deficit-reduction goals, Jonathan Chait writes. It will, in all probability, increase the deficit—by a lot. theatln.tc/HHz6dJrj

just days after Trump declared himself the "fertilization president" the entire team focused on Assisted Reproductive Technology (which includes treatments like IVF) was laid off at the CDC

The govt’s admission, in the Abrego Garcia case in Md, that it mistakenly removed him to El Salvador despite protective status, may reverberate in the Alien Enemies Act case, where plaintiffs allege that many with open asylum cases were wrongfully removed. 1/7

CNBC's Jim Cramer today on Trump: "He is focused more on revenge than helping your 401(k)."

Let's be clear about what is going on. The Trump administration is not combating antisemitism and university leaders are not protecting free speech. It is authoritarianism and capitulation all the way down. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/u...

Hearing from all corners of HHS this morning about a total bloodletting — firings of scientists, analysts and many more as delayed RIFs take effect. Many folks didn’t see early AM email and showed up, only to be turned away when badges didn’t work. Was sent this photo of long lines at one HHS site.

This seems bad. Does it seem bad to anyone else?

What did 14 years of autocratic populism produce in Hungary? Poverty and corruption www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Is this our future under Trump? He seeks to emulate Orban doesn't he?

Medicare for All's newest endorser: Joe Rogan!

Wow. Rep. Jake Auchincloss minces no words about Signalgate on Piers Morgan: “Pete Hegseth is lying to the American people, lying to Congress, lying to the military.” “It’s incompetence incarnate…It’s embarrassing & it’s dangerous.” This is how it’s done.

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

This thread is WILD. It appears as though the tattoos pictured in Trump’s Tren de Aragua checklist for deportation were all lifted from UK tattoo artists’ Instagram pages. Not a single one is from an actual gang member.

Denmark is our ally. Greenland is a sovereign territory. It possesses rare earth elements, gold, iron ore, uranium, zinc, lead, copper, nickel, diamonds,graphite.  Trump’s greed knows no limits. He wants their wealth. There is no threat to America. That is the lie he will use to invade Greenland

“Lawyers and big firms: For God’s sake, stand up for the legal profession, and for the Constitution. Defend the oath you took when you became officers of the court. If we stand together and fight, we will win.” - John W. Keker, Robert A. Van Nest and Elliot R. Peters

I've quoted this passage from Trump -- where he states his intent to cause riots and US economic collapse -- so many times. He flat-out announced it on Fox News in February 2014. In my book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT I quote my own 2016 essay warning of his plan: www.hidinginplainsightbook.com

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning. It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

"DOGE Plans to Rebuild SSA Code Base in Months, Risking Benefits and System Collapse" This is how Trump/Musk gut Social Security. Millions will be "accidentally" purged. Trump/Musk laid off people from Soc Sec offices so no one will be there to help you. That's the plan www.wired.com/story/doge-r...

Breaking: A Delta jet just came close to colliding with a US military jet over Washington, DC, causing alarms to go off.

BREAKING The FDA’s top vaccine official has resigned. Dr. Peter Marks wrote this in his resignation letter about Robert Kennedy Jr.: "It has become clear that truth and transparency are not desired by the Secretary, but rather he wishes subservient confirmation of his misinformation and lies.”

HAPPENING NOW: Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) is currently getting absolutely showered in non-stop boos at her town hall in Hamilton County, Indiana

These men behind bars are not in prison after being charged with crimes. They are "enemy combatants" being detained in a concentration camp. As such, Kristi Noem's crass photo-op using them as props violates the Geneva Convention's prohibition of ‘exposure to public curiosity’ of those captured.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?

It Might Not Be Eloquent But It’s Completely True…

"If you set a tariff at 300%, then nobody buys imports, so there’s no revenue collection. Trump seems to believe he can impose prohibitively high tariffs *and* collect revenue, which you can’t actually do."

Pete Hegseth recklessly disclosed sensitive military attack plans that jeopardized American lives. And previously embarrassed us in front of our NATO allies in Brussels. Why does this guy still have a job?

Hakeem Jeffries says Republicans are “running scared” because they’re afraid to lose Elise Stefanik’s safe red House seat

If the United States was a meritocracy, Pete Hegseth would be out of work

WTF!!! Passwords of Top U.S. Security Officials Found Online – Hegseth, Gabbard, Waltz Among Those Affected. This is real!! www.mediaite.com/news/report-...

Oh, nothing. Just the same Trump Idiots who shared defense secrets on an insecure App, had their phone numbers and messaging profiles and PASSWORDS discovered online by a German newspaper www.spiegel.de/internationa...

NEW: A federal appeals court just denied the Trump admin's bid to lift Judge James Boasberg's block on Trump's ability to use the Alien Enemies Act.

Yesterday, Michael Waltz claimed that he’s “never met, don’t know, never communicated with” Jeffrey Goldberg. Here’s a photo of Waltz standing next to Goldberg during a 2021 event at the French Embassy. The event Waltz attended—a Q&A with a French filmmaker—was moderated by Goldberg.

I’m demanding answers.

Schiff: No, Mike Waltz, you’re the loser. And frankly, the country loses when we have an incompetent bozo like you as the national security advisor.
