European Diplomats Issued Burner Phones for U.S. Visits April 14, 2025 at 8:59 am EDT “The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage, a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China,” the Financial Times reports.

Trump has announced that he is suing CBS, 60 Minutes, and Paramount for billions. This comes after their latest interview with Zelenskyy who Trump is attempting to undermine in service to Russia & its invasion of Ukraine. The official excuse the regime is presenting is “election interference”.

A Lot About Trump Doesn’t Add Up www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/o...

When the world loses confidence in the dollar, it will move on as quickly as the felon in chief did to destroy it. They do not have to put up with this nonsense and will move right on without us. Fat chance the U.S. will ever be in a position of leadership again. Impeach these people already.

Taken together, the various projects are approaching $1 billion in paper gains even after accounting for the latest round of trade war-induced market gyrations, according to Bloomberg calculations

I don’t know if this is such a good idea. How’s the president gonna know what hurricanes to nuke?

Trump Is Still Waiting for Xi to Call politicalwire.com/2025/04/10/t... Just like a teenage girl ....

The Society for Historians of the Early American Republic is asking the public to help them track changes the Trump Admin is making to history-- in national parks, websites, wherever. Please share-- and please contribute! thepanorama.shear.org/2025/04/09/t...

BREAKING — All FDIC employees just received an email confirming DOGE presence at the agency. "The DOGE team has neither requested nor been granted access to sensitive bank information." We'll see how long that remains true. Text of email shared with me:

BREAKING — DOGE will descend upon Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) buildings tomorrow, an agency source tells me. FDIC is responsible for insuring all commercial/personal US bank accounts for up to $250k and regulating banks. Scary in light of Trump’s manipulation of markets this week.

Not all “Hands Off” events were in-person. I attended two virtual events centering chronically ill and disabled people for @motherjones.com, who are terrified about attacks to Medicaid, Section 504, research funding, education and more. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

So proud of American Resisters today! #Handsoff

Thousands of North Carolina citizens are in Raleigh today telling the administration to keep their #handsoff our rights and freedoms.

Watch out below ...........

open.substack.com/pub/heatherc... We're all thrilled by what #CoryBooker did. Less attention has been paid to what he actually said. @hcrichardson.bsky.social fixes that & gives a great summary of Booker's full-throated defense of US democracy (& telling contrasts with the behavior of the regime).

As Sen. Booker said during yesterday's marathon speech: We need less people talking about democracy and more people practicing it. Wisconsinites heeded his words—recognizing the stakes & taking action against autocracy.

"The FDA as we've known it is finished." “CDC clobbered. The agency will not be able to function."

"If America hasn’t broken your heart, you don’t love Her enough.” Cory Booker
