“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

So just read, Bloomberg, “the worlds wealthiest people added a combined $304 billion to their combined net worth - the largest one day gain in history of the Bloomberg Billionaires Index..” as a result of the stock gains after tariff paused. An awesome reason to sign your strike card? #generalstrike

So we can’t guarantee our own citizens health care but we can pay everyone in Greenland $10,000/year? How is this “America First”, exactly? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

BREAKING: The Trump administration's budget cuts mean it can make the lives of ordinary Americans easier by giving them a gigantic $1 trillion war budget. Isn't that lovely? ♥️

boosting because good and we need more good

"You gotta please those guys who are keeping the lights on." From the new 'We're Not Kidding', actor and activist @cynthianixon.bsky.social criticizes the Democratic party's loyalty to big donors and special interests.

Government watchdogs muzzled. Support for veterans: MIA. Prices are rising. It's mourning again in Elon Musk's America.

TL;DR: The new U.S. tariff rate against our two largest trading partners is either 10%, 25% or 35%, and so far no one I've reached out to at the White House is able to tell me which.

Jasmine Crockett tells it like it is…

Starting to dawn on me that the civil war never ended. We just won the first big battle. All of it has always been about the same fucking thing. We’ve been fighting that damn war the whole time.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

Marco Rubio’s bodyguard was arrested in Brussels, Belgium because the hotel wouldn’t open the bar for him? This administration is a disgrace.

You’d think when you’re claiming the richest country in the world can’t afford childhood cancer research you might wait a year before throwing yourself a 100 million dollar birthday parade. But carpe diem, suckers.

So the Supreme Court’s strategy seems pretty clearly to be forestall admitting we have a constitutional crisis by giving Trump huge victories on narrow procedural grounds. This is akin to having engineers move the Rubicon River closer and closer to Rome to avoid Caesar crossing it.

I support the US garment industry. I don't believe in making life harder for immigrants or erecting blanket tariffs. So how can we reshore some of our US garment manufacturing without xenophobia or protectionism? Here's my view. 🧵

I do not read anything in the Trump White House's appeal to the Supreme Court that would, as a practical matter, prevent the government from legally disappearing *anyone* to a foreign torture prison by "mistake" ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Beyond parody.

big shadow docket decision coming: can the us government exile you to a torture prison overseas vs no it can't

It’s happening. That cartoon is happening.
