I agree with Bernie Sanders. Trump and his billionaire buddies just don't care if working families can't afford more expensive groceries or dolls for their kids.

How did 11 top corporations — including PepsiCo, ComCast, and Kimberly Clark — spend their spoils from Trump's tax scam? By spending three times as much on stock buybacks as they paid in taxes. Nothing trickled down. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/09/trump-tax-cuts-stock-buybacks

Tim Alberta says Trump’s support has seen “erosion across the board,” which could continue without a course correction. “Trump himself will probably never pay the price for this, but … the Republican Party, the institutions of conservatism in this country, they’re going to pay the price.”

The NYT has been doing phenomenal reporting on the blatant corruption of the Trump memecoin/crypto policy. Genuinely the most flagrant, bald-faced thing I’ve ever seen short of a politician getting sacks of cash.

"The president of the United States launching his own cryptocurrency....It almost breaks the brain when you actually read the facts of it." The corruption is no less shocking for being out in the open. Joe Weisenthal joins @timmiller.bsky.social on today’s Bulwark Podcast:

Imagine if Joe Biden, newly in office, had launched a company with Hunter Biden and used his social media to recruit financial backers. Then promised the most generous among them would earn an invitation to a private dinner with him ... Trump just did that.

An 89-year-old Holocaust survivor. A 93-year-old woman who never protested before. They're mad as hell at what Trump is doing to America, as they joined about 80 others in their senior complex in Haverford, Pa. for a "No Kings!" protest like no other My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/comm...

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.

Update: The House just passed the Republican voter suppression measure that threatens voting access for millions of Americans, including 69 million women whose married names don't match their birth certificates. Make sure your senators know you expect them to stand against it.

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️ Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines. He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

A few GOP Senators and Reps could join Dems right now to end the fake emergency justifying Trump's tariffs. He'd veto. Let him. Ds can pressure Rs to override. They should hound Rs on this.

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania. He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

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?

Wikler: Susan Crawford’s victory will send a message to the entire country that Elon Musk’s illegal vote-buying schemes will trigger an electoral avalanche in the other direction. If we can make that clear, maybe we can shut this down before it infects the rest of the country in 2026 and beyond.

Trump is privately warning CEOs of automakers not to hike prices when his tariffs hit. This blows up Trump's lies about the tariffs, because it shows he knows they'll push up costs in the US, and knows "other countries" don't pay them! New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1933...

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?
