America has no allies in this trade war. Not the EU. Not Japan. Not Canada, not Mexico, not Australia. Not even Russia. OK, maybe El Salvador. MAGA wanted America alone. It got its wish.

Yesterday some said the President’s pause was “art of the deal perfect execution” Scott Bessent said this was always the plan. Tonight Stocks are down Bonds are down Who planned this?

“It’s the most extraordinary attack on voting rights in American history,” Wilentz said. “This is an attempt to destroy American democracy as we know it. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

I am but a humble cable news host with a bachelor’s in philosophy, but I feel like at some point the bond market is also going to notice that the GOP is going to pass a deficit financed 5 trillion dollar tax cut. Maybe?

War hero schools a chickenhawk.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.  That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Guys, guys, guys. It’s not math. It’s not finance. It’s not economics. It’s all about psychology. Abnormal psychology. Read the DSM-5’s chapters on Cluster B personality disorders. And then it all becomes clear. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/b...

Rather than attended the dignified transfer of the remains of four U.S. soldiers killed on his watch, Trump will be dining with his Saudi golf buddies.

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year. This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year. See what DOGE is really about?

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.

This is the beginning of a massive fall of MAGA. No amount of division, fear mongering, lies, and cheap lines will overcome the fact that you just took many people’s prosperity just because it makes you feel powerful. Mark my words, the beginning of the end.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

Correct

Indeed.

Thank you to everyone has reached out to offer kind words of support. I will fearlessly and unapologetically continue to stand up for democracy, no matter what the president says or does. Democracy Docket will do the same. It won't back down. It will never obey. www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

The human capital flight from the U.S. is well underway.

France’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. South Korea’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Brazil’s institutions defended its democracy, upholding the law. Only America’s decided a criminal must be allowed to break its laws and destroy its democracy.

He’s so close to getting it

I was elected in 2010 with Kristie Noem. She used to be kind, compassionate, and put her faith above any personal gain. She like so many others, is now broken

Thank you ! Are you going to overlay any other agencies and their cuts ?

In the old days, corporations hired honest to God philosophers to sit around and think about this shit so that before a CEO went out in public he didn’t say stupid shit like this. Tell me you don’t understand your own creation without telling me you don’t understand your own creation.

There is no moral equivalence between bullies and the bullied, between tyranny and democracy, or between brutality and decency. No individual can be free in a society devoid of justice. There can be no liberty where brutality reigns.

It’s important that people from all walks of life and background, and all rational political perspectives, show unity in support of democracy and the rule of law on April 5, somewhere near you. Show your love for your country and for what it should—must—stand for: handsoff2025.com/

Can one destroy a massive country, a democracy, with threats & lies? Apparently so. Can one build a complete nation upon threats & lies? Not one that can endure for long I think . But upon lies & threats, one could surely get a shiny new throne built for oneself

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

Agreed so long as protest are peaceful & no vandalism or other illegal activities.
