Walz: An hour by hour day by day basis, the President has chosen, chosen to throw our economy into turmoil. We are talking about a guy that slapped a 10% tariff on an island populated only by penguins. It would be funny as hell if it wasn't true and stupid.

Wow. China just called out the Trump administration for blatantly lying about the existence of any ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and China.

As we resist Trump’s tyranny, America gains solidarity. As we gain solidarity, we feel more courageous. As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime. As we weaken Trump and his regime, we have less to fear.

For Trump’s MAGA base, it has always been about race and racism. His followers are willing to give up on democracy in exchange for a white nationalist autocrat — someone like Donald Trump. theintercept.com/2025/04/20/t...

🧵 THREAD: A federal whistleblower just dropped one of the most disturbing cybersecurity disclosures I’ve ever read. He's saying DOGE came in, data went out, and Russians started attempting logins with new valid DOGE passwords Media's coverage wasn't detailed enough so I dug into his testimony:

The Constitution doesn’t allow a president to deport people to foreign gulags without due process. Trump’s continuing actions fall outside the rule of law, and outside the ‘core powers’ granted to him under the Constitution. www.alternet.org/alternet-exc...

I would like to remind everyone that Marjorie Taylor Greene had two men tasered at her Town Hall. One of these men was in the process of leaving on his own when it happened. She also was insider trading. She also has extensive ties to Russia.

It shouldn't matter if Trump’s victims have criminal records. If we only defend the “innocent,” the fascists will argue that their victim “was no angel.” An anti-fascist rhetoric that carves out exceptions for imperfect victims is a gift to our opponents. New from me for @us.theguardian.com:

Public health officials and commentators: Please stop taking Musk and RFK Jr at their word and contesting whether or not their various cuts serve "efficiency." Efficiency is not the goal. Privatization and eugenics are the goals. Lending a veneer of legitimacy to their actions is counterproductive.

If you want to see the destructive force of “DEI” look no further than this The Trump administration is using “DEI” to censor science—they claim science is censoring “minority voices”— and destroy it, dumbing it down, and creating a chilling effect for new research. #NOTRUMPDEI

I was in 8th grade when Jimmy Carter made human rights a centerpiece of his foreign policy. A decade later, I began my first job in DC working for an international human rights NGO. Now the US covers for murderous regimes because it would be embarrassing to criticize what Trump himself aspires to.♻️

I still got my mind wrapped around the DOGE sharing US agency secrets with Russia through Starlink. Is Musk a spy? I'd say Treason but he's a foreigner

Never was a more "controversial" story more unambiguously true than Russiagate. Trump is a Kremlin asset. We are under attack. Traitors and Nazis directed by a hostile foreign power have already taken the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court.
