As I expected, the government ignored the 9:30 a.m. deadline set by the federal court in Maryland. The court moved the deadline to 11:30 a.m. As I expected, the government ignored the 11:30 deadline. A 1:00 p.m. court hearing was scheduled. As I expected, the government demanded it be canceled.

Jasmine Crockett spitting that hot fire!

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

Unless Congress impeaches and convicts Trump, he's going to use the full power of the United States to extort both companies and entire countries at will

Am I the only one reading White House tweets in Bane’s voice in my head?

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.  That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class. The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

“J. D. Vance’s selection as Trump’s running mate suggests that Vance’s benefactor, Peter Thiel, is running the show, reprising an aborted effort to run the show from 2016. He seems to have learned from his mistakes.” By @davetroy.com, 7/30/24 1/

What CEO/dictator/king city-state are you gonna want to live-in/under?

GOP voters being against the minimum wage and also wanting the world’s shittiest jobs to come to America and the good jobs to be eliminated is a real fucked position

As the author of a history of concentration camps, I would like to emphasize that this is a very bad idea, and we should definitely not do it.

I'm serious about pushing Republicans on impeachment this week. Think about it. There will never be a better chance. Rich people losing their wealth is the *only* thing that can move the needle on this. Not fascism, not racism, not the destruction of public health. This is it.

We the people are taking action to stop a hostile government takeover. On April 5, 5.2 million people across the country stood up to say HANDS OFF our democracy! Save the date for our next national day of action on April 19th. #50501movement #PeoplesMovement #FiftyFiftyOne #April5 #HandsOff

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

"The firemen trying to stop this fire are the real villains here." Says spokeswoman representing Arsonists Incorpored #ConstitutionalCrisis www.reddit.com/r/law/s/W3og...

I grew up with a history teacher, father, who infected me with the bug. But sometimes, I'll just be sitting there and from seemingly nowhere a random thought like, "There should be one of the financial hubs of the world in Tulsa, Oklahoma." Then I look at my own arm and think fucking whitey

I love how comedians have gone from “it’s a big club and you ain’t in it” to “I’ve had the club members on my podcast and they’re actually really nice so everyone should just do what they say” fucking pathetic

Gotta correct the media again on something. The administration is not sending migrants to a mega prison in El Salvador. They’re sending human beings to a concentration camp.

The tech bros and JD Vance's favorite philosopher. Project 2025? Seem to be big fans of his. This mofo needs to be dragged to the light to end his dark enlightenment. #HandsOff

Dictators of all stripes hate solidarity. They’d prefer that we cower alone. They want us to feel powerless. This is why I encourage you to participate in the peaceful demonstrations planned for today across America. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/april-5-hands-off-our-healthcare

At this point, the word tariff is basically propaganda in the context of the maga movement. So instead of just going, along with their framing of the language, we should start referring to any tariff he does as Trump Import Taxes or TIT. Who says we can't have some juvenile fun as democracy dies?
