Seriously? Because we were told they were going to deport violent criminals.

Today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks.

Bad Built Butch Body bought BEST.

Amazing that without even mentioning a name, EVERYONE knows exactly who it's referencing.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

That’s right. That all went down yesterday morning. Thanks for getting caught up.

It's flabbergasting. Orwellian. Gross.

Truly.

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock trading—and I've got a bill for that.

Jeez. How did we get humans speaking that are SO uninformed. It's mind-boggling. Truly.

The SAVE Act is voter suppression. Over 900K Oregon women whose name doesn't match their birth certificate could be ineligible to vote. 45.1% of Oregonians without a passport could have to pay over $236M just to register. I didn't just vote 'No' – I intro'd a bill that makes it easier to vote.

You know what to do... Four Democrats voted to help pass the SAVE Act. They voted for voter suppression. Vote them out. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez Henry Cuellar Jared Golden Ed Case

Rep. AOC is accusing Trump of manipulating the market to insiders' benefit. Sen. Elizabeth Warren has called for an investigation into Trump’s volatile change of course and Sen. Adam Schiff warned against the "dangerous opportunities for insider trading.”

No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.

This isn’t a trade war against China and the rest of the world. It’s an economic war against working class America.

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.

Yep.

“He tried to kill his own Vice President. Do you think he cares about you?” -Barack Obama

CNBC's Steve Liesman doesn't mince words about the way the White House calculated its tariff rates: "Nobody ever heard of this formula. Nobody has ever used this formula. So I’m sorry, but the conclusion seems to be the president kind of made this up as he went along... these are off the charts."

Donald Trump stated he believes the tariffs are "going very well" as the markets embarrassingly tumble right in front of his eyes.

You can't fix Stupid!!

Trump fired at least three senior National Security Council officials at the urging of far-right conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer. The firings came a day after she provided a list of administration personnel she considered disloyal to him.

Trump just announced tariffs so wide-reaching, they now cover a sub-Antarctic island group populated mostly by penguins and a Norwegian Arctic archipelago best known for its polar bears.

No tariffs on Russia. Huh?

it was the worst of times, its was the wow somehow it keeps getting worse of times

Burn it all to the ground and buy up the land and water and minerals at rock bottom prices. This a fire sale for the oligarchy. How do I know? They’ve already done it to rural America…

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

With Musk's biggest financial asset (40%) tied to SpaceX, it has received over $560 million in government contracts since January, including $100 million from NASA to launch a telescope on a mission to search for asteroids and comets that might one day threaten Earth.

Last week, the federal government stopped funding updates and maintenance to the Patient Safety Network, a government website that hosts scientific and medical research that doctors often reference.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr is no stranger to wielding government power against companies that conservatives oppose, and he has been very open about his plan to use DEI as a cudgel against any companies he wants.

Now this is wild.

Yeah.

Thurmond was the same age as Booker when he set the record Senator Cory Booker just broke. Thurmond was afforded a bathroom break and read from the encyclopedia. Booker held the floor the entire time and delivered a consistent, cogent speech for more than 24 hours. Incredible.

Yes, finally a little bit of light.
