THE GENIUS OF THE ART OF THE DEAL HAS ALREADY CAVED IN. I wouldn't be surprised if China ends up dictating the terms of the deal while he sells it to his MAGA constituency as "the best deal in American history." We will see if prices go up along with inflation and unemployment.

BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

A very rough draft of the introduction to my next blog. I will continue to post till I finish it. A final subtitle would be "or why Trump is right". Comments are welcomed! josebagabilondo.weebly.com/blog/global-...

LOWER RANKINGS FOR UNIVERSITIES THAT CAPITULATE TO TRUMP. We should pressure ranking entities and institutions to rank lower universities that capitulate to Trump, as they show they have no academic and professional integrity and bow to outside political agents. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Nobody is safe from Trump's tariffs! All the worlds will tremble under his might!

Silver lining: the 2026 elections look winnable now, even with clueless and spineless Democratic representatives such as Schumer. Trump's announced "short-term pain" will last well past 2026 and everybody will have to suffer. Anger will be the Democrats' best friend.

BRACE YOURSELVES, WE ARE GOING DOWN: US stock futures, which indicate the direction of the market once trading commences on Thursday, reacted instantly. S&P 500 futures dropped 3.5%, while Nasdaq 100 futures tumbled more than 4.3%. DowJones Industrial Average futures cratered as much as 1,000 points

In 2023, Texas passed a law banning the use of cosmetics by men in public places. Oopsie…

@lavernecox.bsky.social sums it up perfectly. #TransVisibilityDay

Vance's first comment upon arrival: they are eating cats and dogs in Greenland.

THROW EGGS AT REPUBLICANS. One single raw egg never injured anybody, but it would become the ultimate symbolic act of the resistance: it's all about the economy! You don't even need to hit them. As long as they land nearby, it will work.

SCOOP: A WIRED review of public data shows that national security adviser Mike Waltz, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and other top officials left sensitive information exposed via Venmo—until WIRED asked about it.

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

Pete Buttigieg has entered the chat.

After mass firings, the IRS will be forced to close audits of wealthy taxpayers. Audits of rich individuals and corporations will soon be closed — without action — due to a lack of personnel to complete them. Millions upon millions in revenue will be lost. “All of a sudden, these cases…

When it's clear Trump will not obey the courts, we will enter a constitutional crisis leading to a dictatorship. I only see two fronts for change: 1. A massive recession 2. His cholesterol: he might have a heart attack or a stroke that forces him to retire (Vance cannot hold the coallition together)

“Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

Click on the link below to see when Project 2025 will be completed ( July 20, 2025) . We cannot allow this to happen. None of us are use to living under the tragic damages of Project 2025.

FROM THE REPUBLICAN PLAYBOOK: "KICK HIM OUT!" should be one of the rallying cries at any Democratic gathering. I cannot believe that, given the widespread popular hatred towards Musk, the Democrats are not garnering such an energy. Young Musk worked illegally and lied in his naturalization app.

IT’S WORKING!!!! Please keep sharing & signing!!! chng.it/jRVNNH2K2C

Budapest today. People are demanding that PM Orban resign.

"Privately, House Democrats are so infuriated with Schumer’s decision that some have begun encouraging [AOC] to run against Schumer in a primary."

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House. We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication. They own what happens next.

Keep pushin', people!! #Resist

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...

Dem Rep @robertgarcia.bsky.social says he's ready to do Town Halls in the districts of GOP Members of Congress Thank you sir! LFG

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.

The market is tanking, Trump just launched a trade war, we told Cyber Command to stand down against Russia, Trump is rolling out a massive crypto scam, and drug dealers have started selling eggs because the profit margin is better. You aren’t distracting us with culture war BS.

From the producers of "I will wait 2 months to mismanage Covid-19" now comes the new and exciting "A variant of the H1N1" is spreading everywhere". The thrill is guaranteed, millions could die again! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump's historically-low-for-an-inaugurated-President approval numbers are already dropping further. His approval rating dipped from 45% to 44%, but his disapproval rating ZOOMED from 41% to 51% Don't let them fool you. This is a weak President. Keep at it. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"

Yaasss!!

THIS! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Just two weeks ago, everyone was screeching about China stealing all of our data through TikTok, but now Elon steals it and the MAGA crisis actors are OK with it? That's some fucking bullshit.

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945. They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

Happy new year and for those who read euskara, here is my latest short story, although situated in 1525, exactly 500 years ago (in few hours), it is most pertinent to face 2025! It is also an uncoventional love story. Urte berri on!! josebagabilondo.weebly.com/blog/bere-go...

On the Basque film "Irati" and its political importance today. An article by @urtziurkizu.bsky.social in discussion with my own analysis. www.berria.eus/komunikazioa...

"Independentziaren ipuinak"en azkena: "teleberri 2065-12-21, astelehena". Lehen lerroa: "Telebistako pantailan albistegi aspergarria hasi da". Baina irakurri ahala, xehetasun eta zertzelada txikiek harrituko zaituen Euskal Herri batera eramango zaituzte. josebagabilondo.weebly.com/blog/teleber...

Bluesky has overtaken both Instagram and Twitter for the FIRST time.

For those of you who speak euskara, my second short story in the "Basque Independence" series. This time the story explores Basque literature as a political agent of change. It also gives a new fantastic/hilarious view of the BC across Saramago and Murakami josebagabilondo.weebly.com/blog/idazle-...
