Unemployment up. Stock market down. Mortgage rates up. Consumer confidence at worst levels since the Great Depression. Are we great again yet?

Dear @governor.ca.gov I watched your ad asking Canadians to ignore Trump and come spend money in your state. It doesn't work that way. Your country threatened our sovereignty. That's war. Focus your ads on Trump voters: attacking a former ally will cost dearly. In Canada we hold the line. #elbowsup

He Deports innocent U.S. residents, then turns around & says undocumented immigrants can stay and work in hotels & farms. He fires a bunch of people in govt, then begs some to come back. He slaps tariffs on everyone, then suddenly “pauses” a bunch. And people are still applauding this guy. #cdnpoli

"Americans are rarely this pessimistic about the economy. Consumer sentiment plunged 11% this month to a preliminary reading of 50.8, the University of Michigan said in its latest survey released Friday, the second-lowest reading on records going back to 1952." www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/e...

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

Mike Johnson just voted to cut Medicaid. Nearly 40% of his district relies on Medicaid.

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

"Poor old penguins, I don't know what they did to Trump, but, look, I think it's an indication, to be honest with you, that this was a rushed process." -Australia’s trade minister Don Farrell

Tim Walz right now, speaking to the Network for Public Education in Columbus: “If you want to know who I think the leader of the democratic party is right now, just go out on the streets. They’re all over the place. They’re out there.” @governorwalz.mn.gov

If you voted for Allison Riggs in the 2024 NC election check here to see if your ballot is being challenged. If so, then you have 15 business days from whenever they mail the notices to cure your ballot, but best to check now & cure yours as soon as possible, even if this ruling might get overturned

do not expect rational decisions from president syphilis brain next week he may decide to nuke iowa, just for the hell of it

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

Starving Americans are going to be reduced to eating their pets and Fox News will cover it as "Hero Trump makes it rain puppies!"

The economy is crashing and the President is fucking golfing. He's hitting balls and I'm taking calls. This isn’t “America First.” It's Trump first. So, Mr. President, get your ass off the golf course and fix this.

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— Oh.

Stock market’s crashing, retirement savings are disappearing… and he’s out golfing.

Sounds like the computer systems at Social Security Admin are starting to get kinda glitchy the more DOGE fiddles talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/situa...

The Great Depression 2 starring Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

The Trump tweet about impeaching any president who presides over a big stock market drop is bogus. But this is a real Truth Social post from last year.

Wall Street analyst: “We went from an almost ideal market environment over the past year or two, to complete and utter destruction of our system of trade that had benefited America greatly with lower prices.”

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Personally I’m feeling very liberated by the onset of higher prices, mass unemployment and random economic and social destruction. It’s a small price for appeasing an addled, aged cult leader who has no clue how the world works.

It's easier to tell the truth when they're fucking with the money

🎉Congratulations to @underlyforwi.bsky.social for being re-elected as Wisconsin's Superintendent of Public Instruction!
