NEW: Maryland Slams Door on ICE Raids House passes bill to shield schools, churches from warrantless entry migrantinsider.com/p/maryland-s...

Vice President Kamala Harris warned everyone what would happen and many people chose to ignore her. I’ll always be proud AF to have voted for her.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says regular folks won't mind if one of their Social Security check doesn't show up. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says Americans ready to retire don't care about "day-to-day" market fluctuations. These people are robber barons with no empathy for normal people.

Do not normalize children dying from measles. Measles was previously eliminated in the US, thanks to vaccines. When children die from measles, it means that adults have catastrophically failed to protect them because they have rejected basic science.

This is what happens when you’re willing to risk it all over ending pronouns and Black history. Hope those cultural wars pay the bills.

Today on the shadow docket: assisting Trump’s arbitrary deportations to slave prisons

The government is snatching people off the streets and shipping them to foreign prisons from which, the government claims, they can never be extracted. All with no due process. It’s as bad as it gets. And this court is again avoiding the reality of what’s happening at all costs.

We have power!! Together!! Don’t forget!! Keep it up!! #MomSky

I don’t think we’ve fully considered how funny (and tragic) it is that the only thing that prevented a double digit wipeout in the stock market today was a fake tweet

Larry Kudlow schools Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent about why trade deficits aren't actually bad

This should’ve been the majority.

Seeing billionaires and truly top of the financial food chain people have their very first Leopards-Eating-People’s-Faces Party moment is providing the darkest sliver of schadenfreude.

Update: after the appeals court refused to intervene, the Trump Admin went right to SCOTUS, asking for an injunction and a stay. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

“Mr. Kennedy reassigned high-ranking health officials - [incl. Tony Fauci’s wife] - to Indian Health Service locations in the American West, when what the chronically understaffed service really needs are doctors and nurses who are familiar with the unique needs of Native people.”

A federal court just crushed Trump’s illegal deportation scheme, calling it “perfect lawlessness.” He used an 18th-century wartime act to snatch legal immigrants off U.S. soil and dump them into El Salvador’s prisons—without due process. Even a Reagan judge said this trashes the Constitution. 1/2

NEW: The EU Commission has proposed 25% counter-tariffs on a range of U.S. imports to take effect May 16.

Trump aide Peter Navarro lashed out at Elon Musk, calling him a mere “car assembler” after Musk slammed Trump’s tariff chaos. Navarro tried to downplay the rift, but Musk’s brutal takedown—“he ain’t built s—”—shows even Trump’s allies are turning on each other in this collapsing clown car. 1/2

Economist Brent Neiman explains the idiocy of Trump's tariffs formula. First, the idea that a trade imbalance deserves tariffs: "The Nobel laureate Robert Solow explained why when he quipped, “I have a chronic deficit with my barber, who doesn’t buy a darned thing from me.” "

This is the way we fight! Thank you for gumming the works, Senator @schatz.bsky.social

So much of the US Constitution is designed to keep an autocrat from amassing too much power. At this moment, the constitution is failing. Or perhaps our elected representatives are failing the constitution. When a single person can wreck the economy by fiat, something is badly broken.

So Fanta Bonespurs Fuhrer who called US servicemen suckers and losers wants a big shiny military parade in his honour (cost $98m from you, American taxpayers) I think we’re about a month away from him starting to wear a uniform.

Deeply sobering stuff from @schaller67.bsky.social about how hard it is for Dems to gain ground in rural areas: newrepublic.com/article/1936...

🚨The SAVE Act would create BURDENS FOR MILITARY VOTERS, low-income voters, elderly voters, rural voters, tribal voters, survivors of natural disasters, and tens of millions of married women who have changed their names. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/AdcOTHyL

calling trump “orange”? kinda cringe but whatever calling it “orange monday” thereby forcing future generations of economists to explain why its called that? absolutely hilarious

I have been running a trade deficit with the grocery store for years. As much as I buy from them, they refuse to publish any of my columns.

Trump’s cabinet can’t get their tariff story straight—They don’t agree with each other on what Trump’s plan is, but somehow we’re all stuck with the fallout. It’s clear they didn’t see this coming.

Stock traders pounding their computer consoles chanting “BRING BACK PRONOUNS! BRING BACK BLUE HAIR! BRING BACK WINE MOMS!”

NEW: Kilmar Abrego Garcia "sits in a foreign prison solely at the behest of the United States, as the product of a Kafka-esque mistake," his attorneys write in their brief to the US Supreme Court. www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul calls it “outrageous” that Trump tariffed the world but not Russia, the same day the head of Russia’s sovereign fund met with Witkoff. 🤔 Memphis’ @repcohen.bsky.social has thoughts 👇🏽

I have tanked the stocks that were in your 401k and which you were probably saving for retirement

And the markets come crashing back down.

Former staffers of Texas thug AG Ken Paxton’s win $6.6 million in whistleblower case for reporting his corrupt ass to FBI. www.texastribune.org/2025/04/04/k...

God remember that three week period where Harris picked Walz as her running mate and we all thought it might actually be okay? Ahh good times

No, #BrokenPost, you don't write this headline as a question, answering it below. You lead with the truth. This isn't hard. A rewrite: Vitamin A cannot treat measles but children are overdosing on RFK Jr's anti-vaccination lie.

Just remembering how Joe Biden forgiving some student loans was taking the power of the presidency too far.

Judge Harvie Wilkinson, a Reagan nominee to the 4th Circuit who for years has been one of the most reliable feeders of clerks to SCOTUS conservatives, calls out the absolute craziness of what the Trump administration wants here.

Where is GOP Senate leadership?

The group says it’s losing nearly $2.3 million in emergency food resources due to reductions in U.S. Department of Agriculture funding.

"Our words and actions mean everything. Every day comes clearer that individuals too must fight. Must carve out their place in all this. It is only in the aggregate we lose ourselves. But it is also only in the aggregate we can truly be saved." - Andrew Silberstein abovethelaw.com/2025/04/asso...

Wait so the plan is literally to take government workers researching kidney disease and keeping the water clean and have them make iPhone cases instead

“We realize this is a sensitive and complicated topic..." www.12news.com/article/news...

Wall Street bros will be making land acknowledgments and wearing their pronouns on their forehead by the time this is done.

The level of incompetence🤦🏼‍♂️...still doesn't address the issue of them using Signal in the first place. When I was on Active Duty, Airmen got Article 15s and Discharges for way less sensitive security breaches. This whole saga is absolutely unacceptable. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Good morning to everyone who’s in shock hearing that a conservative “think tank” released that Trump’s tariffs were based on a massive error. Trump is America’s massive error. Force him out! #DemVoice1 #Voices4Victory

Just incredible. Hassett never said the 90-day pause thing. The upward move in the market this morning appears to have been entirely driven by fake news started on Twitter/X

This Senate bill to slap limits on the president’s tariff power now has SEVEN Republican sponsors: • Grassley • Moran • Murkowski • McConnell • Tillis • Young • Collins

White House: we want reciprocal tariffs Vietnam: fine, let’s do zero percent White House: fuck you Absolute clown car administration
