anyway periodic reminder that congress can at any time they wish, and should tomorrow, end this

Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

🚨BREAKING: Federal District Court REJECTS Republican effort to overturn North Carolina Supreme Court election result. Orders the state to certify the results of the election and not proceed with the cure process. Congratulations to our clients, the ELG team, Justice Riggs and the voters of NC!

This is a shockingly mistaken understanding of due process by Stephen Miller. It is likely this misunderstanding that is informing the President’s misunderstanding.

McCarthy: What’s interesting—for the media—you think these Sunday shows are all-important? More people listen to Joe Rogan on a podcast.. Swisher: Although he’s slipping to the Meidas group…

Rubio has like 9 jobs right now and he couldn’t even handle the first one.

🚨DOOMSCROLLING CHECKPOINT🚨 Drop your shoulders. Unclench your teeth. Take 3 deep breaths. Go drink some water. *excuse me while I take my own advice*

Oof

🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m pleased to say my paperback is currently on sale with WH Smith for only £4.99, so do grab a copy if you fancy. And thank you if you do! Link is here: geni.us/GuiltyWHS

Is that stupid person in the room with us right now?

April 28, 2025: Migrants are making SOS signs out of their bodies so drones can see them at our country's concentration camps.

Let’s normalize putting the name of the corporation that owns the private prison in the headline whenever something like this happens

This from @oliverdarcy.bsky.social is very worrying and also important

BREAKING: The MeidasTouch Network will host the first-ever Democratic Governor Virtual Town Hall tonight at 8 PM ET / 5 PM PT right here on YouTube! Govs. Pritzker, Walz, Healey, and Hochul will join us LIVE to take on Trump’s disastrous first 100 days. (link in reply)

Great article clarifying false statements by RFK on autism with evidence and studies www.factcheck.org/2025/04/rfk-...

O Canada! Your neighbors to the South are extending support on your elections tomorrow. Please make the right choice -- Pierre Poilievre has shown that he is a Trump shill. You have seen what's happened here and we want better for you. The world needs our Canadian health partners strong and free!

Not a single international cargo ship at the Port of Seattle. The port is dead. The last ship from China will dock at a West coast port on the 29th, and the last Chinese ship will dock on the East coast around May 10th. After that, there will be no more shipments arriving from China. We’re screwed.

Pew Research poll: Trump approval 40% approve 59% disapprove U.S. adults

It doesn't matter what the rest of the sentence says, the opening 10 words in themselves are the scandal: "President Trump on Thursday directed the Justice Department to investigate ... "

They want you to think boycotts and protests don’t work. 71% drop in income says otherwise. Keep going.

MANY PEOPLE ARE SAYING I SHOULD BE POPE

The fact that I know more about Katy Perry and Lauren Sánchez’s 11-minute space trip than I do about Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito’s decades-long crime spree shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

4K video of the Hands Off protest at Reid Park in Tucson, AZ. Stay until the end to see how massive the (spread out) crowd was! @50501movement.bsky.social @50501az.org #handsoff #protest #tucson youtu.be/dcjJkjUk-fU

A must watch discussion from @hcrichardson.bsky.social "This is serious. This is an attack. It's an attack on the constitution." - Senator Angus King www.youtube.com/live/5YHvpx3...

NEWS: Hong Kong has suspended postal service for all goods being sent to the United States, saying the U.S is "unreasonable, bullying, and imposing tariffs abusively."

My “spidey-sense” is saying we should keep our eyes on this. www.reuters.com/world/us/top...

Dear universities and law firms, You can't "buy Trump off." If you do what he asks, he'll think he owns you and he'll demand more and more. You'll never be done with him. Appeasement is surrender. Resist. Sincerely, Mark

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

You'll laugh. You'll cry. Both are equally acceptable.

Friendly reminder that this Saturday is another nationwide protest at your local Capitol buildings. I know it’s the day before Easter Sunday. Please don’t shoot the messenger. I was not involved in the planning. And I think Jesus would approve anyway. It’s what he would do, or so I’m told 😉

The American Public Health Association is not mincing words. @apha.org apha.org/news-and-med...

This past week, the Chinese learned 1) exactly where Trump's pain points are; 2) how much to squeeze them before he flinches; and 3) how little America's partners and allies want to help this president. Highly useful information.

Elections have consequences

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

Me too

Guys, guys, guys. It’s not math. It’s not finance. It’s not economics. It’s all about psychology. Abnormal psychology. Read the DSM-5’s chapters on Cluster B personality disorders. And then it all becomes clear. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/b...

Claim by the White House: The Supreme Court ruling made it “very clear” that Trump was “well within his constitutional authority” to carry out deportations under the Alien Enemies Act. What the Supreme Court actually ruled:

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.
