The scary thing is that Donald J Trump has only just started making America's economy bad. Wait until the end of the 2nd quarter www.rawstory.com/trump-econom...

This is incredible to witness. Sen. Glenn Grothman checks his notes, so he obviously planned to say these things —yet delivers a masterclass in being completely out of touch. This is exactly what people mean when they say their representatives don’t get it. Cringe!

Call it by its name: Trumpcession

Integrity lives on. Just have to look a lot closer these days.

RFK Jr’s top spokesperson, Tom Corry, abruptly resigned after 2 weeks on the job. Corry had grown uneasy with Kennedy’s muted response to the intensifying outbreak of measles in Texas. The outbreak has infected at least 146 people and resulted in the nation’s first death from the disease.

I don't really know how to shout this from the rooftops any louder: If this actually happens, it would spell the end of U.S. numerical weather prediction--the scientific models, run on supercomputers, used to create virtually all weather forecasts. www.axios.com/2025/0...

Banksy:

James Harrison, a blood donor famed for having saved the lives of more than 2 MILLION babies, has died. Harrison’s plasma contained a rare antibody known as Anti-D which was used to manufacture a medication given to expectant mothers. Harrison donated plasma every two weeks from age 18-81

Tens of thousands of people are dead, multiple cities and towns have been almost completely destroyed, and millions of people are displaced. And JD Vance laughs and smiles with Hannity about the invasion like it’s a game.

NEW: A source tells me that response teams for FEMA set to deploy to the South Carolina wildfires are unable to travel because their government issued travel cards have had their limits reduced to $1. FEMA response team cards were supposed to be exempt.

I actually think a class action lawsuit is a great idea. People could show a lot of damages.

Freeland: "If these tariffs are put in place, it is going to hurt Americans ... your grocery prices are gonna go up, bc you know what you need to grow food in the US? You need fertilizer. 80% of it comes from Canada and you're gonna be a 25% tax on it? ... the WSJ is right. This is dumb."

3 days ago, he publicly bullied Zelensky. Earlier today, he stopped all U.S. cyber operations against Russia. And just now, he paused all military aid to Ukraine. Quit beating around the bush. Trump stands AGAINST the free world. He’s on Putin’s side. He’s doing Putin’s work. Shameful. Traitorous.

What are Republicans pretending to be outraged about today, Chapter 5,836.

A flippant “have fun” at the end of an announcement that you’ve just decided to play politics with the livelihoods of farmers across the country is diabolical

Today’s Republican Party is the “blame America for everything” party.👇

Is the US Heading for a Recession Under Trump and Musk? zeteo.com/p/trump-musk...

Pathetic. Cruel. Unserious.👇

🤦‍♂️

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemns Trump's 'unjustified' 25% tariffs and says retaliatory tariffs on $155 billion of American goods will take effect at 12:01 AM EST if the U.S. moves forward tonight.

Trump’s tariffs tank the market and recession is predicted and they blame Biden. It’s legit crazy how stupid they think we all are.

NEW: Kegseth is changing the name of Ft Moore back to Ft Benning (originally named after a confederate), but says it’s Benning the WWI guy. What a dick. www.defense.gov/News/News-St....

Trump shames America.

Who could possibly have seen it coming

An important statement from the American Bar Association. www.americanbar.org/news/abanews...

We're the only generation that developed in both a media environment that mostly revolved around three network anchors and a handful of prominent outlets and the current one has dissolved into seemingly infinite factions with varying degrees of respect for reality. We've seen the worst of both.

The Army deleted my “Why I served” video where I talked about how I decided I wanted to attend West Point/join the Army after one of the cadets my family used to sponsor died in combat. Probably deleted because she was the first black woman to be CSM at West Point.

"The public is going to suffer terribly as a result of this," the source wrote to NPR. "Local field offices will close, hold times will increase, and people will be sicker, hungry, or die when checks don't arrive or a disability hearing is delayed just one month too late."

If you're satisfying Russian authoritarians to the level they are praising you, don't you think maybe your methods aren't that great?

This tweet from Elon Musk is, of course, false. The first known victim of DOGE died around February 2 after the refugee hospital that was giving her oxygen shut down. But the tweet will be useful as there's abundant proof he's lying (or ill-informed) about Ebola & restarting payments.

I cannot for the life of me fathom why he thinks this is good. Cutting exports for American farmers is good why?

Watters: You are trying to impress people that no one cares about. That’s what wrong with the Democrats. They are always trying to be popular with the wrong crowd like… women

DOGE continues to embarrass itself.

Some bills from House Republicans:

Democrats put Elon Musk’s quote about Social Security to Joe Rogan on a poster and brought it to a press conference.

Turns out "chaotic evil" is not a sound economic policy. GDPNow estimate for real GDP growth in 25Q1 is -2.8% with addition of stagnating ISM manufacturing index and new lower personal consumption growth. www.atlantafed.org/cqer/researc...

Promises made, promises kept!

🔥 WATCH: “You’re giving me politician doublespeak. It’s bullshit.” @michaelianblack.bsky.social calls out @repmikelawler (R) for claiming he won’t cut Medicaid “benefits” — hiding behind the “waste, fraud, abuse” cover story. Spoiler: Michael is right. Cuts are cuts.

Trump’s economy…

⚡️ Zelenskyy: Peace is needed as soon as possible.

KEILAR: Can you guarantee that veterans benefits and care will not be affected by these cuts? REP. GREG MURPHY: No, I can't guarantee anything
