I no longer recognize America.

MARK THIS DOWN: Donald Trump is deliberately destroying American small business. The only players that survive his Tariff apocalypse is the big corporations. This almost seems it's by design, don't it?

I see the already historically unpopular president is exploring how to get the military invovled in “assisting” local law enforcement just a few weeks before the real shortages caused by his inept economic policy start hitting. Probably nothing to worry about.

And burned 130+alive

Trump has a new propaganda version of last regime’s infrastructure week: this time he is inviting corporate CEOs to talk about how they are investing in the US. Most of these investments were already committed before Trump, and either way, this display is not fooling anyone on Wall Street. 1/2

Stop what you’re doing & listen to this!

“He is granting audiences to people who buy his meme coin. When the sitting president of the United States is selling access for what are effectively payments directly to him. There is no question that that rises to the level of an impeachable offense.” Sen. Jon Ossoff

I don't understand how some folks are unable to see that the illegal disappearing of people is a class issue. The wealthy and well-connected get due process. The rest of us don't. This is part of the oligarchy, not a distraction from it.

The president of the United States and the president of El Salvador have conspired to kidnap a man and hold him hostage in an El Salvador prison. This criminality ignores the rule of law and thumbs its nose at a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate his return.

AOC is calling out colleagues for stock trades before tariffs were paused: “Any member of Congress who purchased stocks in the last 48 hrs should probably disclose that now … It’s time to ban insider trading in Congress.” AOC is absolutely right. More here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/saturdays-...

he did this just *after* going to the funeral of an 8 year old girl. he walks away from where the hearse is idling and immediately starts hyping this stuff again. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Can you spell "Kyle Rittenhouse"?

7 months ago. Bring back Bidenomics.

Right on message. Right on brand.

The Social Security Administration has already cut 7,000 jobs. As a result, its website is crashing. Phone lines are overwhelmed. Beneficiaries can't get service. What is DOGE recommending now? More layoffs.  Let it be known that Trump is effectively cutting Social Security.

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.

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful. Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

Kill a white millionaire, get the death penalty. Kill two black protesters, get invited to CPAC to be celebrated.

What a lady.

Trump has dropped over 100 enforcement actions against corporations. That includes 10 corporations that have donated to or allied with him — like SpaceX, crypto corporation Coinbase, and private prison corporation GEO Group. This is corruption of the highest degree.

‘We weren’t stuck’: Nasa astronauts tell of space odyssey and reject claims of neglect

Our government has spent $100,000 a person to hold migrants at the Gitmo concentration camp for less than six weeks. That's about $17,000/week for each migrant. They could have stayed at a Ritz-Carlton for that. What's this you say about government waste and efficiency, Elon?

If Democrats actually win one of these seats, it'll scare the fuck out of Republicans and might be the thing that finally inspires a couple of them in the House to bail on the GOP. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/u...

Musk is his own ponzi scheme.

1. The Social Security Administration and DOGE are GASLIGHTING AMERICANS. They are telling millions of beneficiaries that reports they were closing SSA field offices were fake news. Actually, these closures were PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED and LEASES WERE CANCELED. 🧵

It’s not just his cutting aid, it’s his whole being that’s shriveled up tighter than a raisin in the desert sun. He has no soul for anyone or anything.

Trump is driving the US into a recession for the simple reason that his wealthy backers will get even richer. The rich get richer in a recession while the rest of us suffer. This is part of Trump paying back Musk and his oligarchs for bankrolling his campaign.

This is one fugly white boy!!!

Wisconsin and this other states that must go to to Jenn up support for their candidate please beware he knows how to get into the voting machines make sure to have proper Paper Trails you can go back and check on before in compare the paper trail vote numbers and the digital numbers

Hey, I've got an aces idea! Let's dismantle the FBI, put a Kremlin asset in charge of the DNI, and then bomb Iran! What could possibly go wrong?

“Kseniia Petrova's attorney said her previous arrest in Russia and social media activity ‘will almost certainly ensure a nice, hefty jail sentence for her’ if she is deported back.” www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Friendly reminder..Iran in the 70's...Iran now.

Canada serves up a big platter of slamcakes with NO maple syrup.

American billionaires are like Mr. Potter in “It’s a Wonderful Life”, just waiting to buy up middle class American assets at pennies on the dollar when Trump wrecks the economy.

This is horrifyingly correct.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

It's simple. Everyone in the US enjoys the protections of the Constitution - even visitors. So if someone commits a crime here, you give them due process here. You charge them here, try them here, and sentence them here. You don't deport them to an offshore torture prison.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

It would disenfranchise millions. It seeks to restrict what ballots states can count. It purports to give DOGE unspecified powers to review state run voter rolls. No wonder vote suppressors and election deniers from coast to coast lavished it with praise. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

We will not be distracted. We will not be discouraged. We’ve got our eyes on the prize. And we will build the prosperous, free nation for all that we deserve. The time to organize is now. OcasioCortez.com

Yes, tariffs are a tax, but people don't mention often enough that they are a regressive tax. Taxes on consumer goods tax the poor at a higher rate, as basic necessities are a much larger part of their spending. If food goes up by 20%, it is a tax on the poor. Rich people won't even notice.

Wisconsin residents are receiving text messages from a (202) D.C. area code, falsely urging them not to vote in the upcoming election. These messages are not legitimate.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Not getting much attention, but the Senate GOP is about to start voting - to make sure banks can charge higher overdraft fees. Seriously. Good time to let your Senators know what you think of that.
