So it sounds like the tariffs are also being used as a shakedown tool to coerce countries to sign deals with Starlink. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The country thats still defending is winning, the country that is breaking out tanks from WW2 in storage and attacking on donkeys and lost 900,000 men and got kicked out of Kyiv and begs NK for troops and Iran for weapons, isn’t. youtu.be/lvVI64jVXuI

Oh

In this video, we explore how America is living through a Second Gilded Age, marked by extreme wealth for a few and hardship for many. Today, the richest 1% control more wealth than the bottom 90%. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tERX...

Thank you for amplifying this story @maddow.msnbc.com.

What the actual hell

"Democracy Dies With the First Amendment" open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Unprecedented corruption: "The effort was, in effect, an offer of access to the White House in exchange for an investment in one of Mr. Trump’s crypto ventures." Literally taking money himself. Not campaign donations. Just pocketing it.

America💙These are factual statements on our national debt! Each time a republican opens their filthy, lying mouths about budget cuts & spending,give them a reminder that they’re the worst inbeing conservative on spending! They blow up everything & leave us in debt! #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #ProudBlue

In just two months, DOGE has —lost— the government an estimated half a trillion dollars. I propose that Musk pay it back personally.

Can't believe I listened to Nobel prize winning economist specialising in trade on a Saturday night! #TrumpTariffs But recommend for those still imagining/hoping there is some 'masterplan or deeper strategy' - there's just "layers and layers of wrongness" "Never been anything like this craziness"🧐

Exactly what Yehuda cohen a father of one of the people still being hend hostage by Hamas said recently on my show. Netanyahu is sacrificing the lives of hostages to remain in power.

Evidence of what we've been saying: the aid freeze is robbery. Musk and Rubio seized funds belonging to other governments: apnews.com/article/usai...

Musk will then immediately share it with China, of course, where half of all Teslas are made and a third of all Teslas are sold, the single most important market to his company's success, and likely the only country in which Tesla sales have a possibility of growing this year.

They estimate this operation has cost the U.S. over $16M which is low because it doesn't count the photo op flights in and out by Kristi Noem and Pete Hegseth. They built 1600 tents that ICE can't use because they are inhumane. My latest. Subscribe for free! open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.

It’s not illegal to like this, share it and even copy the picture and make your own post. These are four of the six people that have been gutting the treasury department. They are between 19 and 24 years old.

Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

www.reuters.com/world/us/mus...

1. Trump's immigration crackdown is premised on the idea that the US is experiencing a massive surge in violent crime According to Trump the crime wave is especially severe in cities THIS IS A LIE New data shows crime is LOWER than when Trump left office in 2020, and below pre-pandemic levels

Trump has rescinded a Biden executive order calling for the development of policies to lower drug costs for people in Medicare and Medicaid.

Ann Telnaes, a Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist at The Washington Post, says her cartoon below was killed by Jeff Bezos, the paper’s owner. Bezos didn’t want the cartoon to become public because it shows him kneeling before Donald Trump. You know what to do.
