I’m going to call Trump’s ceasefire “Operation Stormy”, because it lasted two minutes

Happy TACO TUESDAY to all those who celebrate! #Yum 😋

81 years ago, America's best generation stormed the beaches of Normandy in hopes of freeing Europe from the clutches of a brutal authoritarian.

This is helpful to exactly NOBODY we want to be helped. GOP is loving it thehill.com/homenews/cam...

Something spicy & delicious as a taco has gotten under Trumplestiltkin's thin tangerine skin. Seems the master of mean, juvenile nicknames can dish them out but when directed towards him, he can't take it, angrily calling it "nasty."🤣 Good to know. (you know what to do!) 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮🌮 🌮

The CDC updated the numbers of measles cases in the country on Friday. Here's what they say and what it means for public health in the U.S.

You all knew I was going to go there.

Peter Navarro on CNBC calls tariffs "a beautiful situation" next to a stock ticker showing the Dow implied open down 900 points

Last time he told you not "not to worry" half a million Americans died of Covid.

Elon’s $250 million investment in Trump has yielded him a net personal loss of $120 billion. Unfortunately, the stupidity of the billionaire elites will cost us all dearly.

Buckle up for one of the nastiest Black Mondays in Wall Street history.

True story…👇

He did it because those tux-wearing bastards never once said "thank you."

I’d say the markets will be a roller coaster today but roller coasters go up.

🚨🇫🇷 Paris has suspended all banking operations on its stock market. Details are scarce, but authorities urge calm; All is Well! Please avoid rushing to banks to withdraw cash, as this may exacerbate the situation. Updates to follow as we learn more." by the way, #FuckTrump!!!

Japanese and Chinese markets are down 8% and 10% respectively. Black Friday in 1929 was -11%. Tomorrow could easily be the worst crash in American history. The worst thing? It’s 100% intentional.

Orange Monday: The global stock market is collapsing. 🇭🇰 Hong Kong -13.6% 🇹🇼 Taiwan -9.6% 🇯🇵 Japan -9.5% 🇮🇹 Italy -8.4% 🇸🇬 Singapore -8% 🇸🇪 Sweden -7% 🇨🇳 China -7% 🇨🇭 Switzerland -7% 🇩🇪 Germany -6.8% 🇪🇸 Spain -6.4% 🇳🇱 Netherlands -6.2% 🇦🇺 Australia -6.2% 🇫🇷 France -6.1% 🇬🇧 UK -5.2% #OrangeMonday #TrumpTariffs

Tim Walz: "It's not a 'woke policy' to provide food for children to get breakfast and lunch, and we get better outcomes from that. They defined things on their terms that weren't true ... we got timid."

Good day to remember that DOGE has already lost the US government at least half a trillion dollars this year alone. And likely more.

Hats off to the very strong #HandsOff signage yesterday! Thanks for making your voices heard. 🙏

Antarctica Tariffs Announced It's about time those deadbeat slackers started pulling their weight... 🐧 💰 🐧 💰 🐧 💰

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

I called my senators today and told them I want Cory Booker to be the senate minority leader. We can’t hold hearings. We don’t have subpoena power. We can’t pass budgets. But we CAN filibuster, and we CAN change party leadership.

This 🤡 makes it #AprilFoolsDay 24/7. #FeelsLikeAnEternity 🤯

Listen everyone. I’ve see classified stuff before. This in the Atlantic is the kind of stuff that gets the highest classification. I had to have TS clearance to hear the names of the people we targeted in Iraq when i was with TF16 and 17. And still some names were withheld until op was over….

😂😂😂 #whiskeyleaks

Hegseth, Waltz and company texting war plans to a reporter on signal is just the tip of the iceberg. This whole administration is full of incompetent, inexperienced, and unqualified clowns. Our national security is compromised in ways we’re just beginning to understand.

Bluesky watching the shitshow on twitter.

Overheard: The Tesla Chainsaw Massacre.

Question of the day… Does pineapple belong on pizza 🍕 🍍?

The Revolution will be AI-icized

Last night I attended the Save Our Services rally in New York City. Listen to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) fighting for people & federal workers: “Every day our job is to wake up and say ‘what can I do today?’ — There is no act too small. Every action matters.” @aoc.bsky.social

The honeymoon's over. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

“I will use every tool at my disposal to protect this country from Trump. I will litigate to defend voting rights until there are no cases left to bring. I will speak out against authoritarianism until my last breath. “I will not back down. I will not bow or scrape. I will never obey.”

Trump closed the Kennedy Library in Boston per MSNBC

This is Charlie. He has literal heart-eyes. 14/10 would be an honor to pet (IG: charlie.the.dalmatian)

Forever, the courts have been an important arbiter of what a President can, and can’t do. That is under threat now: adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/trump-like...

Seems they missed Hulk Hogan.
