Never forget: Trump was handed an awesome economy. He was handed the best post-Covid economy of ANY industrialized nation. He was handed an economy with employment way up, consumer spending way up, the markets way up, & inflation down. And in only 13 weeks, he’s fucked it all up.

“The President is 100% committed to ensuring that terrorists and criminal illegal migrants are no longer a threat to Americans and their communities across the country,” Trump’s spokesman said on social media. Except, you know, where’s the evidence of anything? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

Tomorrow’s going to be a good stress test of the press. El Salvadoran President Bukele will visit the White House. At the press availability, every Q ought to be about Abrego Garcia: where is he now? Did US ask you to return him? etc. WH will hate, maybe try to prevent, so all should band together.

Trump: "We're letting people build their own power plants. A lot of them are being built with the AI and beyond the AI. Chips. We're letting them build their own power. Never been done before ... they'll sort of be their own power company. They couldn't believe it when I told them that."

Republicans used to say “undocumented immigrants don’t pay taxes.” Now the IRS is handing their tax data to DHS… So which is it? Seems like you’d have to pay taxes to even have tax data…

A week ago, the Trump administration laid off thousands of people at HHS and its agencies. The cuts were so deep, and touched so much, we're still learning about the impacts. Here are a couple stories that have stood out to me. 1) @levfacher.bsky.social on the gutting of a pain-research office.

Walz: "It's like Trump is stuck in the '80s. His music, his clothing, his thinking. He's been on this tariffs thing forever and every economist will tell you they just don't work ... I think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country is that Trump understands anything about business."

Cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated a deal to stop Iran's nuclear program. Trump, having inherited a vastly improved situation with Iran, deliberately tore it up. The fact that they are now on the verge of having nuclear weapons is entirely his fault.
