Tariffs on, tariffs off, tariffs on again?! WH is now in chaos, markets panicked, and investors are furious. Our weekend bulletin has arrived. Catch up:

How much you wanna bet that soon we’ll find out it’ll cost $100 billion or some such amount to fix everything he broke?

Washington Post: No Evidence Linking Tufts Student to Antisemitism or Terrorism, State Dept. Office Found By @johnphudson.bsky.social | Gift link!

#ProudBlue #MomSky How can they read the ruling to mean anything other than return Garcia to his home. They are starting that the ruling “only requires officials to admit him into the country if he makes it back from a high-security prison in El Salvador.” Wtf?! Their logic is skewed!

A far better plan would be to require a one month waiting period for each testicle...

Last night at about 2AM, my family and I woke up to bangs on the door from the Pennsylvania State Police after an arsonist set fire to the Governor’s Residence in Harrisburg.

Marco Rubio just announced 10 more people were sent to be imprisoned in CECOT. They were flown there from Gitmo to be imprisoned potentially for life based not on any crime for which they were convicted, but on unproven allegations of gang membership with no due process. This is not lawful.

I hate to be that guy, but this is the five-alarm fire, and every elected Democrat and frankly, every Washington reporter should be ringing the bell. If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone. Nobody with a voice should give this administration a moment’s peace about it.

Trump’s press secretary has said Trump plans to start deporting US citizens. This is a trial run.

"What we are seeing is a purge—of the administrative state, of the universities, of expertise—that is consistent with events like the Cultural Revolution in China in the 1960s and ’70s, or the dismantling of the tsarist civil service after the Bolshevik Revolution" www.thenation.com/article/soci...

We haven’t forgotten.

If Trump can claim a "national emergency" to disappear legal residents without due process, what’s to stop him from doing the same to U.S. citizens who oppose him? No one is safe — not even people legally in the country, possibly not even American citizens. Fascism is here.

The attempt to burn down the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion is pretty clearly an assassination attempt, and it's likely an antisemitic hate crime. It should be referred to that way by political media.

ICYMI, this week WIRED broke the news that DOGE is being audited by the Government Accountability Office, an independent auditing, research, and investigative agency for Congress.

Under the Trump budget plan just passed by Congress, a staggering 70% of House Republicans would personally financially benefit from extending major tax loopholes. More money for them, paid for by cuts to YOUR benefits.

All activity on X helps Musk, I wrote this to explain how. Please repost and share everywhere with people that are still using X, we need to educate them about how harmful it is. #HandsOff #TakeDownX

The 22nd Amendment says it plain: “No person shall be elected to the office of the president more than twice.” Bannon on Bill Maher, straight-up said Trump’s going for a 3rd term — and they’ve got a “team” working to circumvent the Constitution. They’re not joking. They’re plotting. Believe them.

Slept in my Dead Kennedys tee shirt but the Nazi punks still haven’t fucked off.

BREAKING: When your foreign policy is so disastrous that even China is the voice of reason — demanding you cancel your clown-show tariffs — you’ve officially lost the plot. www.bbc.com/news/article...

…hyperbolic claims of fascism made by the left?? WE WERE LITERALLY RIGHT!!! WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE

There are some people on this site who don’t think anyone should be experiencing joy right now due to Trump facism. Baby, joy is resistance. If we don’t feel moments of joy then we become completely demoralized, and then we’re incapable of fighting. Which is what they want.

I feel an overwhelming need to revive my long dormant twitter account to scream at him in all caps to show proof of this accusation. Talk me out of it. No one cares what I think, let alone the worst SoS since Kissinger.

Diversity in research populations is required by the way, because women & men are affected differently by cancer treatments, same for racial differences, ethnicity and religion, which by the way gives us a true variety of genetic patterns. #cdnpoli #elxn45 #ProtectScience #ElbowsUp

would love to read a portrait of rubio the person, who seems to be the kind of vacuous, amoral ambition addict who excels in tyrannical regimes

HASSETT: If you look at the latest jobs report, it was way, way above even what I expected TAPPER: You know the jobs data was from before the "liberation day"

Think we could get Bernie Sanders to debate Ron Vara?

And at our Sedar last night, we honored the memories of those we loved and lost, prayed for the Israeli hostages safe return and for those in Gaza who are now terrified because Israel broke the cease fire … The fight against Pharaoh is not a long gone story; it is our fight today…

Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid — essential programs most Americans rely on that Donald Trump’s administration has absolutely no respect for.

Was actually wrong, I'm just two days away form having a full year's worth of stats. It's going to come in at just under 1,100 articles about trans people in the Guardian, Times, Mail and Telegraph over that time, almost all attacks. That's an ave of 3 a day every single day from just those papers

Fuck Bill Maher for not going harder on the EMOTIONAL TERRORISM Trump inflicts on millions of Americans when he pulls his outrageous stunts. I don’t care if the adjudicated rapist is nice to you and Kid Rock over dinner while threatening the freedom, security & healthcare of everyday Americans.

Can’t believe it’s #america 💔

Thomas Jefferson, our first Secretary of State, wrote the Virginia Statute of Religious Freedom, which said "the opinions of men are not the concern of civil government, nor ought they ever to be." He also coined the famous phrase "wall of separation” between church & state.

This is so good and such an important reminder. (Gift article) Palm Sunday Was a Protest, Not a Procession www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/o...
