100 days of losses for Trump, 100 days of wins for The Contrarian open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

What happens when the wealthy pay their fair share in taxes like everyone else? We can invest in a stronger, fairer America — where every kid has a quality education and families aren’t bankrupted by one medical diagnosis.

A headline from Hell. @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

“Kimmel rolled a super cut of Hegseth using the word ‘leakers’ repeatedly, ending with him saying, ‘I don’t have time for leakers.’ “‘You don’t have time for leakers?’ Kimmel repeated in disbelief. ‘You are the leaker!’”

If you weren’t raised in an evangelical church, you might not know that those “Christians” think the Pope is burning in hell…

The key chart right now: Usually US economic pain is cushioned by falling bond yields and a strengthening dollar, which mean lower interest rates and more spending power for consumers. This time we’re seeing the opposite, meaning the pain will be amplified.

The only reason we ever became concerned with a “trade deficit” was in the 80s when Japanese car companies were eating American companies lunch. That’s it. It’s not meant to be an economic strategy. I have a trade deficit with Applebees but we’re fine

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

Which chicken shit House Dem said this off the record? Which one of you is too cowardly to add your name to this horrid statement? Speak up so we can primary your ass back to the stone age.

This is a huge deal. Casey DeSantis started a little pet project to “graduate” people off Medicaid but in actuality stole court settlements from FL taxpayers and funneled that money into political campaigns to fund opposition to medical marijuana and abortion rights amendments.

The unlawful arrest and deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a legal tragedy, a human tragedy and a moral outrage. Stand up and speak out now.

Fed Chair Jerome Powell at the Economic Club of Chicago: "The level of tariff increases announced so far is significantly larger than anticipated, and the same is likely to be true of the economic effects which will include higher inflation and slower growth." This isn't a good thing, MAGA.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez pulled in a massive fundraising haul amid progressive calls for her to launch a 2028 primary challenge against Sen. Chuck Schumer

Harvard calls Trump's bluff by turning down $9B in federal funding https://twp.ai/4imdDv

The lies Pam Bondi and Stephen Miller just told about Abrego Garcia on national TV... ...I have no words for them. I am sick of calling things obscene or deranged. These are obviously evil people charting an obviously evil course for our country. The idea of Hell was devised for people like this.

What do these corporations have in common? Netflix Ford Tesla T-Mobile Duke Energy DISH Network Metlife Dominion Energy United States Steel In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes. This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.

When he releases his taxes..

“You can turn away, and you can ignore what goes on, but if you do that, you do it at your own peril," Bernie Sanders told the crowd at Coachella last night during a surprise appearance. New @motherjones.com: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

The ACLU is no longer posting on Twitter. They have abandoned their 1.6 million follower account and are now posting on Bluesky. bsky.app/profile/aclu...

“We’ve never gone through anything like this, but this is what I do want to say. Despair is not an option. Giving up and hiding under the covers is not acceptable. The stakes are just too high.” Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Turns out autocracy is bad for business

He's manufacturing chaos because he has nothing to offer. No vision. No ideas. No interest in building anything. Just tearing down what others have built.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

It's long past time to ban insider trading in Congress.

With Trump’s blessing, Elon Musk has engineered a climate of fear. If DOGE’s “nerd army” demands are not immediately met, Musk’s minions have snapped at senior government officials: "Do I need to call Elon?" 🔗 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Are you a woman who changed your name when you got married? Congress is considering a bill that could make it much harder for you to vote. Call your rep—this is not a drill. indivisible.org/resource/cal...

This is what happens when everyone knows gramps shouldn't be driving but no one wants to take away his keys.

The tariff policy changes every ten minutes. What a joke. It’s nuclear grade incompetence that would be laughable except they’re ruining people’s lives for sport. Just shameful.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

When Trump tells us that the markets are bouncing back because he is such a good businessman, let’s be ready to remind him that this is only happening because he had to roll like a dog and reverse his tariffs.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

If you abduct someone and send them involuntarily and without recourse to a country where they've never lived to be imprisoned, that isn't deportation, it's human trafficking
