Music lover of all things Brit Rock 🎧 My very first date was seeing Bowie's Ziggy Stardust US Kickoff concert at Music Hall. It was life affirming as a freshman in high school. Proud compassionate liberal. Beyond concerned for this democratic republic.

It'll be his 7th and most consequential bankruptcy.

This government? You mean Bondi?

That's the reason the bond market isn't coming back. Countries are selling their treasury bonds. Because they have no faith in a U. S. run by Trump. He will have us bankrupt by June. It'll be his 7th bankruptcy. And the most consequential.

Toss Bondi in a detention cell and let's see how quickly things get sorted.

I would love to believe that there might be at least one journalist who will be willing to ask the tough question to the El Salvadoran leader. But, they'll probably just continue to fawn over Trump's lucidity and physique. #dearleader

No, I meant their call to staff up this operation for Project 2025. The GOP has always been an extension of the KKK.

Yep! And that's when they take over dividing up the lands and set up their crypto fiefdoms....I wish I was kidding. This is all part of Peter Thiel + Curtis Yarvin's plan.

Stay vigilant. This can't last. The GOP doesn't care about us. But if the bond market keeps tanking, they may do something yet! Stay safe. x

Maddow had the footage of her saying it. The ignorance is the point.

I read many of these ICE agents are fired policemen who violated protocols. You can imagine what a person like that will do when he's being encouraged to use whatever force necessary to fulfill these quotas. I've also head the feds have been stockpiling weapons at local police forces. Future plans.

He ran on cheap eggs + no wars. He's wrecked the value of the dollar and is starting military economic wars around the globe.

It's every member of The Heritage Foundation (THF) along with his cabinet. THF put out a call a year ago for people to hire they staffed up so they could hit the ground running on day one. THF is the deep state they've been talking about. Vought, Roberts, Miller were all authors of Project 2025.

Not that Trump needs any help on that score.

Ridiculous if he can't negotiate a deal with a third world country like El Salvador who he's paying a fortune to. Then, I doubt he can negotiate with a powerful nation like China.

Can this administration stick to one message for longer than 24 hrs.? On anything?

Depends, I remember a couple of years of Latin Mass so it's not novel. But for many born after the Second Ecumenical Counsel in 1965, it would be.

I think I read most of them are police who were fired for being too brutal or not following proper procedures. So you can imagine.

This administration is spending way more....That was spent using Air Force One to take them to Miami last night.

This is not to be underestimated. This has the backing of The Heritage Foundation, Curtis Yarvin. And a bunch of billionaires. This is what happens when billionaires not only buy politicians but Supreme Court Justices.

We need to be more persistent and vigilant than they are.The world is actually done with Trump after last week.They are all working together to fill our gap. They'll continue to sell our bonds. They don't trust in a Trump led America.The GOP's implacability is destroying the U.S. dollar.

That right! Be as persistent as they are. There are far more of us than there are of them.

Also, Bernie + AOC had a crowd of 36,000 in LA that afternoon on an off election year. How many people went to Trump's fake boxing match? Everything about him is a fraud.

What he's accomplished is to destabilize the world economy and to offend the world community. Including countries who who hold our debt. And they've started to unload our treasury bills. The only one who will lose is the U.S. dollar. This is his idea of four-dimensional chess.

The Latin Mass is a novelty. Most people derive more meaning at Mass when it is said in their own language. It's those Opus Dei folks who insist on many outdated practices. Having a priest with his back to the congregation mumbling in a dead language isn't going to bring anyone back to the Church.

Back it all the way up to crypto gate. At the very least it's a violation of the emoluments clause. But, lots of people lost a lot of money buying his and Melania's meme coins.
