The bill has moved to the Senate. Tell your Senators to stop the voter suppression SAVE Act here: bit.ly/3XoEskc #ResistTrump

Yes, that's the accurate language to use. The US government is bragging about engaging in human trafficking.

🚨We are facing a crisis of confidence🚨 Stephanie Ruhle @stephruhle.bsky.social “& what Trump has done… has set fire to everybody’s pension plans, everybody’s value, everybody’s long term futures.” Peter Frankopan @peterfrankopan.bsky.social Professor of Global History at Oxford University. 1/4🧵

"The satellite program that provides data for weather forecasting and modeling would also be downsized. The longstanding relationship that helps NOAA acquire satellites through NASA would also be terminated." I suspect Elon wants to get control and make the government more dependent on SpaceX.

The dream is dead

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

JUS TIN: Susman Godfrey becomes the latest firm to sue over Trump's retaliatory executive orders. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Per a source, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who has required that he approve all contracts over certain thresholds personally, has over 5000 review requests on his desk. Apparently he approves around 15/day.

The FBI has suspended an analyst on Kash Patel’s so-called enemies list after Patel told lawmakers that the bureau under his leadership would stay out of the political fray and not punish employees for partisan reasons.

Here is an up to date list of Big Law collaborators along with how much in free legal services they have pledged to Trump's causes. Paul Weiss 40M Cadwalader 100M Milbank 100M Skadden Arps 100M Willkie Farr 100M A&O Shearman 125M Kirkland & Ellis 125M Latham & Watkins 125M Simpson Thacher 125M

But muh tariffs 😲

The European Union and China have started negotiations to abolish EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. This is why China WANTS the trade war with the US. The whole world is turning its back on the US thanks to Trump. www.reuters.com/business/aut...

Dismantling free and fair elections, trying to throw out as many Dem ballots as they can.

Exclusive: Researchers at the US National Institutes of Health were told they can't attend scientific conferences and meetings without official permission, even if they pay their way and go during time off, current and former NIH scientists told Reuters reut.rs/4j7rFLT

The cowards at Paul Weiss own this most of all, but they are joined in disgrace by Milbank, Willkie Farr, and Skadden. Trump suggested there are other firms that have agreed to debase themselves, but did not reveal the names.

BREAKING: I’m demanding answers from the White House and Office of Government Ethics about whether anyone in the Trump family or administration profited off of this tariff chaos through insider trading.

Good

Trump cultists are NOT the sharpest crayons in the box. 🖍️

Late-night has been killing with the tariff stuff. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/a...

We are all Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor. It’s just a matter of time: www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

“This was the trade equivalent of the Biden administration’s botched exit from Afghanistan, from which it never quite recovered. But at least Joe Biden got us out of a costly no-win war for which America…is now much better off. Trump just put us into a no-win war.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

I took to the House floor last night because I'm sick and tired of Republicans doing nothing to lower costs. Then today they canceled work for the rest of the week. Republicans in DC don't even pretend to care about Americans trying to make ends meet.

Remember yesterday when tariffs were going to bring all the manufacturing jobs back.

In this thread I show why DOGE numbers are bogus Before today, the last update was March 30. DOGE reported $140 billion in cuts. Today, DOGE updated again and reported $150 billion in cuts. So where did DOGE cut $10 billion? NOTHING WAS ADDED TO THE DATABASE DOGE JUST CHANGED THE GRAPHIC

The US ends lifesaving food aid for millions. The World Food Program calls it a 'death sentence' abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...

Remember SignalGate? (One of Trump's superpowers is being involved in so many scandals all the time that very few of them end up having staying power beyond a news cycle or two.)

Trump has not issued a proclamation that purports to invoke the Alien Enemies Act against MS-13 or Mexican drug cartels

Charlie Kirk doesn’t believe in an abortion exception for rape

BREAKING: Judge McFadden has *granted * the AP’s injunction against the White House’s ban on access to the Oval Office and East Room.

Today, the House Ag Committee held a hearing on the Trump Administration’s plans to cut $230 *billion* from SNAP. My Republican colleagues accused us of fear-mongering. Here’s the reality: To pass their insane budget, SNAP benefits would have to be cut. The American people deserve the truth.

Definitely a sign of rational decisionmaking to be yelling at the world in ALLCAPS.

Reminder: We are not at war with Venezuela. The people deported are not enemies. The law in question should not apply. Among the most dangerous aspects of the SCOTUS ruling is the idea that the president and his people have the right to arbitrarily determine who our enemies are.
