FACTS: Zelenskyy is a hero. Putin is a war criminal. Russia has killed civilians. Russia started the war by invading Ukraine. Russia has been losing the war the entire time. Russia has had >800,000 casualties in the war. Europe has helped Ukraine >2x as much as the US has.

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

Crockett: “I’m tired of the white tears. If you’re competent you’re not concerned. When you compare me to Greene/Boebert there’s no comparison… The only ppl crying are mediocre white boys beaten out by people that had to work much harder.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DFp8K0M...

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: He choked. The market started to tank, and suddenly, he said, “Oh, didn’t you guys already have a plan to deal with the border back in December? I love that—I’ll take that.” This is Mr. Art of the Deal.

We are members of Congress at the Treasury Department. We want to be let in to provide oversight on behalf of our constituents. @jasmineforus.bsky.social @sethmagaziner.bsky.social

“Elon Musk Has Plunged America Into a Constitutional Crisis. He Must Be Stopped.” Powerful and much-needed appraisal from Will Stancil of the meaning of, and fallout from, this weekend’s takeover of the Treasury and USAID by Musk and his minions.

FUN FACT: trump CAVED yet again today, this time to Canada, to postpone his tariffs another 30 days. The border security plans Canada is enacting were ALREADY planned while President Biden was in office.

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

Dear Mexico, Canada, Panama, and Europe: 100 percent tariffs on Tesla.

Congratulations to Trump on securing a $1.3 billion border security deal from Canada.... which was already negotiated in December 2024.

TONIGHT at 8pm ET: @preetbharara.bsky.social

The international community is booing the US national anthem, the vast majority of fentanyl comes in via US citizens, and the Biden administration secured the same deal of 10,000 border troops in 2021 without plunging the country (and markets) into chaos. But sure, great work 👍

The State Department has fired about 60 contractors who work for its democracy, human rights and labor bureau, a division whose programs have often been criticized by authoritarian leaders, according to two U.S. officials and two former officials.

Don't let Trump spin you, he backed down on the Mexican tariffs when the market dropped out, GOP electeds finding a backbone to complain, and the WSJ calling it the "dumbest trade war in history". Trump blinked and embarrassed himself plain and simple.

For those farmers and farm adjacent folks that voted for Trump, what you’re about to feel re the tariffs we warned you about. Don’t pretend ya didn’t know

Tariffs will shut down North American auto production within a week, the industry warns. Canada’s auto sector exported $51 billion worth of vehicles in 2023 and 93% of them went to the U.S. Within days, the entire industry could shut down.

Mexico’s president got Trump to agree to gun control (!) and people on the right think it’s a win for Trump. LOL.

Elon Musk has forced his way into the system that pays your Social Security checks and tax refunds. He likely now has access to your Social Security number.

Elon Musk is NOT a legitimate government official -- he was not approved by Congress, and he has ZERO legal authority. He cannot shut down agencies. He cannot access Social Security numbers and payment info for millions of Americans. Take him to court and SHUT HIM DOWN.

This is your periodic reminder that the worst people in American society elected a 34-time convicted felon to be their president.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: So here’s how it’s going to go down—this is going to be very rough. But the big wake-up call is for our American friends. For example, Kentucky—the number one purchaser of Kentucky spirits in the world is Canada, and all our provinces have just pulled it off the shelves.

Marco Rubio's new acting undersecretary of state for public diplomacy, ladies and gentlemen.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

👇👇👇👇

Knowing the names of the an unelected oligarch’s underlings who are destroying the government from within is a crime now, apparently.

Apparently, allowing Americans to file their tax returns for free is a bad thing. A big gift to the Big Tax lobby and a big middle finger to Americans.

Tariff-inflated prices pass the pain along to consumers, many of whom voted for Trump. Good job, asshole.

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

Dear Democratic Leaders: here’s a free idea, send members of congress into the buildings where Elons people are and see what they’re doing. Dare them to stop you. Do something

Murphy: "This is a constitutional crisis that we are in today. Let's call it what it is."

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.

Stay humble, eh? 😂

Mood.

🚨 CANADIAN HOCKEY FANS BOO DURING U.S. NATIONAL ANTHEM AT OTTAWA SENATORS GAME

Boom!! That’s how it’s done!! 🇲🇽 🇨🇦

do you have any idea just how badly you have to fuck up to get Canada mad at you

Dear Canada and Mexico, We’re so, so sorry. — Sane America

🏆 Governor Pritzker- Illinois - has signed an order prohibiting all J6 rioters from state employment.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on whether Trump’s federal aid freeze impacts Medicaid, which provides health insurance to 19% of the US population: "I’ll check back on that and get back to you."

Google said it will change the name of the Gulf of Mexico to "Gulf of America" and change Denali to "Mount McKinley." And I will be changing the name of Chrome to "Duck Duck Go."

The Constitution gives Congress the power of the purse, not the White House. These funds have already been allocated. They help families afford food, heat their homes, pay for childcare, go to the doctor, and more. This is worse than Project 2025.

The video is too long for me to post here. But this is a link to Caroline Kennedy reading her letter to senators about her cousin Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. In a nutshell, she depicts him as an unqualified, deranged, drug-addled, corrupt, and lying sociopath. x.com/jbkschlossbe...
