“Hey, hey, Elon, How many kids did you kill today?” admittedly doesn’t rhyme as well as the original. But that’s not as important as Elon being responsible for the needless deaths of tens of thousands of kids.

Unearthed video: Trump nominee Ed Martin praises Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, a neo-Nazi white supremacist and convicted January 6 felon: “Extraordinary man”

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

🚨BREAKING: Four more Big Law firms join the ranks of Trump collaborators. A&O Shearman, Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins and Simpson Thacher all capitulated. In a sign of growing inflation, each firm agreed to $125m in Trump approved pro bono. Shameful.

There's another issue here. Immigrants, legal and otherwise, pay huge sums into Social Security. So you're simply cutting off revenue for the Social Security system.

Scoop: Fox News has been all in on Trump’s trade tariffs, hailing them as bold, America-first measures to resurrect domestic manufacturing. But as it turns out, the network is itself manufacturing its merchandise abroad. Details in Status: www.status.news/p/fox-news-s...

Share this everywhere. I believe there should be immigration enforcement. I believe there shld be an immigration enforcement agency. But this one is simply lawless to the core. That fact is just inescapable.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

Elon Musk's "DOGE" has fired National Highway Traffic Safety Administration workers, including many in the office of vehicle automation safety, according to the Financial Times.

Trump is creating giant market fluctuations with his on-again, off-again tariffs. These constant gyrations in policy provide dangerous opportunities for insider trading. 🧵

okay now that you all have gotten a taste of America's rational and predictable new trade policy, everyone who wants to build your new factories here just form an orderly line

I’m not a global Econ guy. I guess take 2 here is slightly less ruinous in geopolitical terms. But it seems maybe even more catastrophic in inflationary terms and maybe growth terms too?

It’s a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident. We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

The new "Trump is ingeniously trying to cause a recession" theory reminds me of a similar moment in the occupation of Iraq. A bit more than a year in, it wasn't going well. The US military was trying to overcome a protracted and deepening insurgency. The last WMD diehards had taken the L.

Watching the stock market go through the 5 stages of grief in real time is... something.

The skeleton key to understanding reactionary conservatism is quite simple: they are scared, all the time, of everything.

Exclusive: Trump administration officials have told some US government employees that Elon Musk's DOGE team of technologists is using AI to surveil at least one federal agency’s communications for hostility to President Donald Trump and his agenda reut.rs/4i5ORZq

For those of who remember that Facebook basically destroyed a big chunk of the digital news industry by faking their video views reports ... yeah this isn't terribly surprising.

There were public pools all over America. They filled them with concrete rather than let Black people enjoy them.

big shadow docket decision coming: can the us government exile you to a torture prison overseas vs no it can't

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

That was hilarious to watch. They misheard Hassett, the market rallied. Then crashed. Again.

Few people are more deserving of what's unfolding on Wall Street than Bartiromo.

Will the market trip the circuit breaker before noon??

Elon must be mainlining ketamine this morning. Tesla stock is going off a cliff.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

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

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4clubLP

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Back to watching CNBC. "This is not a misprint: Dow futures with an implied drop of -4.5%." Each anchor has the vibe of a guy waking up from a years-long bender on the side of the highway with no phone and an empty bank account. Continues to be better TV than almost any show.

Good day to remember that DOGE has already lost the US government at least half a trillion dollars this year alone. And likely more.

It seems clear we are seeing the beginnings of a sustained mass protest movement to oust Trump.

Trying to decide if this is "Denial" or "Bargaining"

It's critical for people to be active, getting organized at the state level not just in conventional political ways but also to operate within and buttress their state govts for Trump's coming onslaught talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/get-a...

SCOTUS cleared the Education Dept. to withhold teacher training money in eight states, intervening for the first time to bolster Trump’s push to wipe out spending he opposes

Trump just departed his golf club, per pool reports. He arrived around 9:45 am and left around 3:30 pm. The Dow plunged about 715 points while he was there.
