"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

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.

Did anyone tell Trump that his so-called mandate to lower prices didn’t mean our retirement accounts? Now he’s doubling down, threatening a 104% total tariff on China. When malignant narcissism meets unbridled ignorance, bad things happen. Who knew?

“If it endures, Donald Trump’s decision on April 2 2025 to enact sweeping ‘reciprocal’ tariffs on US trade partners will go down as one of the greatest acts of self-harm in American economic history.” — Financial Times

Raskin: "My colleagues would rather go all the way down to the end of the field with Donald Trump rather than admit that that is a blatant violation of American due process and all of our constitutional values."

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

🇺🇸 Cory Booker is now into his 20th hour of urging Americans to get into "good trouble ... necessary trouble." 🇺🇸 “This is not right or left, it is right or wrong,” he said but an hour ago. “This is not a partisan moment, it is a moral moment. Where do you stand?” 🇺🇸 With YOU, my very good man. ✊🏼

I'm thinking about a quote by British author Elizabeth Bibesco in 1934, amid Hitler's growing horrors: “The Nazi regime benefits from the fact that its atrocities overstep the limits of credibility.” Today, many Americans suffer from that same failure of imagination. It could be fatal.

Secretary Hegseth must resign. He lied. Now, we have new reporting about Hegseth’s wife. If the White House doesn't provide more facts, then this raises all sorts of red flags.

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

Yes! At the very least, the incompetent Pete Hegseth should be fired immediately.

When the stakes are this high, incompetence is not an option. Pete Hegseth should resign. Mike Waltz should resign.

If Pete Hegseth had even a tiny bit of honor and sense of responsibility, then he would hand in his resignation this morning.

1. The astronauts were not “rescued.” They were never “stranded.” 2. USAID never spent $50million on condoms for Gaza. 3. Haitian migrants were never eating peoples’ cats & dogs. 4. Trump did not win the 2020 election. Trump’s greatest legacy is the destruction of truth.
