Here's a description of the Russian attempted access to NLRB from the whistleblower complaint. whistlebloweraid.org/wp-content/u...

Asking for, um, a country?

JFC. So far, Trump has caused markets to lose about 14%. Here's how the same period to date looks under other recent presidential terms

In theory this nightmare could end today:

He was working for Blanche before. Now he’s just made it official.

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

Now do Trump.

"Trump was so certain that every other world leader would capitulate because he has such a distorted perception of how people act, in that he is surrounded by the most groveling, sycophantic, obsequious hangers-on with their mouths latched onto his ass."

"If people start calling Donald Trump ‘Liz Truss in drag,’ it will be because he blew up his government with a financial crisis entirely of his own making..." www.marketwatch.com/story/iwas-i...

I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

Trump does care about the pain, chaos, and turmoil he’s causing—in the following sense: He loves it. It makes him feel powerful.

The only people worse than Trump are his lackeys and apologists.

Howard Lutnick when Tesla was at 288.14 a share: “Buy Tesla! It will never be this cheap again. People are going to dream about today and say they should have bought Musk’s stock.” Tesla is now 216.66.

He spent the last 3 days playing golf. Now he’s back in DC working hard.

SCOOP: Elon Musk’s DOGE has plans to stage a “hackathon” next week in Washington, DC. The goal is to create a single “mega API”—a bridge that lets software systems talk to one another—for accessing IRS data, sources tell WIRED.

Yes, they know to not shit where they eat. This crew in the White House does not.

"Waltz’s team set up at least 20 Signal group chats for crises across the world" With this many active Signal chats, how could they be complying with records law?

Imagine the hubris that goes into saying that you are going to reset global trade and just pull the plug on the entire economy. These fools are making shit up and have no idea what they are doing or even why. But don't worry. They went long ages ago.

While the US puts up barriers to the rest of the world, the rest of the world shows it can offer increasingly competitive AI. If isolationism and attacks on higher-ed continue, the US might soon find itself playing catchup. www.wired.com/story/stanfo...

I feel for the Silicon Valley & Wall Street types surprised by Trump’s tariffs. Who could have even thought to pay attention to his speeches, the positions on his website, hundreds of newspaper articles, or nationally televised debates. The information was practically impossible to come by

Putin’s bluffing. Time to call him on it. thespectator.com/topic/play-p...

OK, he’s wrecking the economy. But at least he ended the war in Ukraine in 24 hours with his secret plan like he promised.

In 3 sessions, S&P 500 futures have plunged about 15%. Legit market crash

Exactly. Occam would never have made it on cable TV.

The Democratic strategist warned that history won’t be kind to those complicit in the president’s “anti-patriotic” power grab.

Top officials at the Department of the Interior were placed on leave late last month after declining to immediately give affiliates of DOGE access to a payroll system that would in theory allow them to stop individual Supreme Court justices’ paychecks.

The Shining City on a Hill has turned into a steaming pile of shit.

Worst two-day stock market crashes in the U.S. by percentage loss: 1. 1929 (the Great Depression) 2. 1987 (Black Monday) 3. 2008 (the Great Recession) 4. YESTERDAY AND TODAY And while this happened, the man responsible for it was golfing and dining with enemies of America.

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"

I wonder why Trump’s Ambassador to Ukraine can’t even name the country to who did this? Just gross that this is what is representing us in that embattled country.

Talked to a business friend deeply involved in CEO world, knows Trump and Scott Bessent. Calls Trump “a drunk driver taking the economy off the cliff into a needless recession,’ says Bessent told him he agrees. Predicts “he’ll be the shortest tenured Sec of Treasury in history.”

funny how Jeff Bezos pivoted to " We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets" thinking that would be obviously pro-trump

“I would be lying if I said I don’t worry. I do. But as I wrote last month: “Despite that worry, I cannot stop standing up for what is right. I cannot turn a blind eye to injustice.” — @marcelias.bsky.social (4/5/25). Me too, Marc. In solidarity, LHT

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."

He hates the military. We are just props.
