The Attorney General of the United States gushing on camera that the President has saved two-thirds of the entire population of America from dying of a fentanyl overdose was a gut-churning lurch towards the absurd flattery lavished on personality-cult dictators by fawning subordinates.

What the big stores should do is for every item on your receipt, a separate line listing the tariff cost applies for that item. It would show the cost of the tariffs front and center, and Trump could no longer say the exporter is paying it because you see it in black and white.

Remember, when they try to blow smoke up your ass, it means a new Secretary of Defense has been chosen.

Great @sulliview.bsky.social column. “Media credulity does harm because it feeds Trump’s ego and makes the public feel powerless. Or maybe it’s not credulity but the media’s insatiable appetite for getting clicks and ‘engagement.’” I’m not sure which is worse. open.substack.com/pub/margaret...

"A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else." - John Burroughs

If you can't manage a company, you can't be a president. If you can't protect a bag, you can't protect a country. If you can't even hold a trophy without breaking it, you shouldn't be vice president. If you can't keep military secrets, you have no business being in charge of the military.

Hands and heart three sizes too small..

Support Tariffs? Watch this: www.youtube.com/shorts/jv3RZ...

Oh SNAP!!

NYT: "The White House scoffed at the prospect of returning a Maryland man who had been mistakenly deported, despite court orders urging it to pursue his return." I'd like to draw your attention to the word "urging." Courts don't "urge." That's not how courts work, NYT. Stop laundering his fascism.

We’re sending the guy with 0 felony convictions to a horrible prison in El Salvador and keeping the guy with 34 to run the country? Insane.

pretty crazy watching the american president on live tv in the oval office planning the construction of concentration camps in a foreign country to house americans

Everything is breathtakingly stupid

3 years from now......

Just this

Such an enlightened long range perspective. #writingcommunity #poetry #artistscommunity #musiccommunity #blueskycommunity #philosophy #psychology #funny #truthhurts

You don’t get to be HHS Sec unless the Senate allows it. I will never understand why we just rolled over and let Rs install all these comic villains.

CDC unable to respond to lead crisis due to funding cuts.

This weasel has got to go.

If you want to win a trade war, you gotta have something to trade that other side wants. And we're in a trade war with the very people who make all the things WE want. You're not going to win that.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

NEW: WIRED has obtained a service agreement between DOGE and the Department of Labor. The agreement calls for the DOL to pay DOGE up to $1.3 million for work done by four DOGE operatives. That's around $217,000 per person as annualized salaries. www.wired.com/story/depart...

NEW: Yesterday, the Justice Department sent armed marshals to warn former U.S. pardon attorney Liz Oyer not to disclose internal DOJ information during her Senate testimony. Today, Oyer is speaking out to condemn the DOJ’s actions and defend the rule of law.

“I guarantee no recession” - Peter Navarro. Mark it. 4/7/2025.

So the US lost $15 TRILLION so far as of 4/8 since Trump took office. Our trade deficit is currently $1.06 Trillion. We could have paid the entire trade deficit for 14+ years with the wealth lost in the last 2 months. Or, we could have reduced the National debt by 40%. None of this makes sense.

There's no way other than an election to remove bootlickers from Congress. Since they don't listen or represent the American people, it's time to talk about a national strike. It's the only thing left to us since our elected officials will not follow their oath and represent the American people.

Tariffs are paid for by the people who buy the goods. So Trump's plan to make everyone wealthy is to tax us until we become wealthy?
