Has Trump said a single word about this?

“History repeats itself, first as a tragedy, second as a farce.” — Karl Marx

"What the U.S. is doing now is not reform. It is rejecting the very system it created." - Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong (April 8, 2025)

60 Minutes found no criminal record for 75% of the Venezuelan migrants the U.S. sent to a mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4lC4Vp5

RUSSIAN TV: “Prices will go up… Trump destroyed trust in the global economy… let’s build him a monument… well done! You really socked it to them!” Russia (not on the list) on why Trump’s tariffs & isolationism is “pure buffoonery” Full: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TFt...

Anonymous, if you’re listening… Please hack Fox News and disable them for at least 3 months. We will have a new country if you do. Thank you… Signed, Sane America 😎✨

Seems like this should’ve been a bigger deal. 🤷🏼‍♂️ www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

There’s no denying it anymore: the pro-democracy movement is finally back on offense. Trump’s presidency is an unmitigated disaster. MAGA is imploding under the weight of its own lies, grifts, and failures. They’re not strong—they’re desperate. They’re flailing. And they know it.

Over 5 MILLION people showed up to make their voices heard yesterday. In over a thousand locations both here and abroad. Their messages were clear. The rampant destruction of Elon Musk and Donald Trump must end. We reject the oligarchy. Democracy is worth fighting for. America is worth saving.

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL. #HandsOff

If Musk goes away, does DOGE and his evil minions go away too?

Things Democratic Senators could do that would be useful: - Withdraw unanimous consent from all Senate business until constitutional rule was restored - Refuse to vote for any legislation until constitutional rule was restored - Boycott as a caucus until constitutional rule was restored

The mainstream media ignores or at best severely downplays unhinged lunacy like this but every cough and gaffe from Democrats is huge front page news for days. People are going to die because of it, just like they did under Reagan, Bush and Bush II. The msm is cancerous.

used to not have toilets, shade or drinking water cause bosses said it was too expensive. With pesticides we would work too close to the spray. Thanks to Cesar Chavez they changed those things. Join us in marching for Cesar Chávez - Francisco, CA farmworker, 28 yrs #WeFeedYou

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

IT GETS WORSE Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brought his wife, a former Fox News producer, to two meetings with foreign military counterparts where sensitive information was discussed, according to multiple people who were present or had knowledge of the discussions. New via @wsj.com:

Are you that discontented DOGE staffer? It might be time. You can reach out to me on Signal at joshtpm.99 (I'm not like Mike Waltz; I know how to use it.) You can also get me at joshtpm at protonmail dot com. Are you a federal worker with information I need to hear? I want to hear from you too.

From Fox’s Chief National Security reporter. Who can’t seem to get any airtime lately. For some reason.

For American readers, this is from one of the UK's leading right-wing newspapers today. The game is up. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/comment/2...

18 USC 793(f) makes it a crime to remove national defense information from its proper place through gross negligence. Doesn’t matter whether info was classified. Signal chat is not a proper place.

It's critical for everyone to remember what an Executive Order is. It is the President communicating orders to members of the executive branch. Policies to pursue, actions to take, etc. They are not laws. They are not close to being laws. They are formalized memos to employees. That's all.

Threads is down … again

“It’s so unbelievable,” a former White House official, granted anonymity to discuss The Atlantic’s report candidly, said Monday. “These guys all have traveling security details to set up secure comms for them, wherever they are.” www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

A Pentagon-wide advisory that went out one week ago warns against using the Signal, the messaging app, even for unclassified information.

🔑 under-discussed point — why they were on signal:

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

Trump has bestowed upon America the most incompetent administration in American History.

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

18 U.S.C. § 793(f) makes it a federal crime to for people entrusted with information related to the national defense to, with gross negligence, disclose it to others in violation of that trust.

From 2010 to 2016 (latest data I have ), NIH research contributed to EVERY drug approved by the FDA

Folks always ask me how they can make a difference. Find an elderly person who isn’t tech savvy. Help them confirm their Social Security information online. Starting March 31, phone verification will no longer be allowed for Social Security benefits, and in person will be slower as offices close.

I stand 100% with Jack Schlossberg and his Grandfather.

I can’t believe this has to be said, but: You cannot tell the story of Jackie Robinson—as a ballplayer, serviceman, or human—without discussing our country’s history of racism. From Around the Horn:

The UK has now issued a travel warning for the US: possible arrest or detention for failing to meet entry requirements.

I think Harry, Megan and the kiddos should leave the US for safe haven in Canada if they aren’t going back to the UK. This administration seems pointlessly interested in the charming ginger.

Something to think about

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Porter: I think what we should be asking Elon Musk and pressing him on is: what makes this change efficient? Imagine a clinical trial that is near completion, only to unravel and lose all that progress—just because Elon Musk decides to pull the plug. That’s not efficient. It’s just destructive.
