More conservative leaders, like judge Luttig, need to speak up against this authoritarian admin

Trump administration practices selective vindictiveness against states that resist his authoritarian executive orders. www.kuow.org/stories/pres...

Turns out autocracy is bad for business

John Oliver on the administration's tariff math: "It'd be like trying to figure out the square footage of your home by dividing your phone number by your dog's age."

Any judge found to be unethical while on the bench should recuse themselves or remove themselves from their bench. This is getting shameful in a time when our other branches of government are cracking.

This is terrifying in America. ICE agents are showing up masked—these abductions must stop. If you’re going to detain someone, show your face, present a warrant, and proper ID. Disappearing people from their families without evidence or accountability isn’t law enforcement—it’s state-sponsored fear.

Attended this weekend's Autism Health Summit, an anti-vaccine conference peddling false cures. Kennedy beamed a message in from DC, Peter McCullough praised Andy Wakefield and bad research, Del Bigtree urged patience with RFK Jr. and the whole thing made me so sad. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

They are obviously slow learners

RFK Jr is incompetent and should resign!

Trump revealed his hand and (as he told Zelensky) he doesn't "have the cards" - at least for the bet he made. Now he's backing down and claiming it's a negotiation technique. F'ing BS. He and his econ advisors are either winging it or manipulating the market.

Guess what? A 10% tariff on the world is STILL a MAJOR blow to small businesses and consumers. And raising tariffs on China to 125% with NO PLAN is a recipe for disaster. Small businesses like grocery stores run on thin margins. Congress NEEDS to reverse these tariffs.

pro tip: if your government claims to have no money for children's heathcare but will eagerly waste millions on a gaudy military parade to stroke the fragile ego of a broken-inside president, you just might live in a shithole country

The President of the United States seems oddly focused on me. Shouldn't he be focused on the economy he's crashing?

Germany finances Ukraine's use of Starlink alternative Eutelsat. A French company. Good.

I was unaware: Larry Summers weighed in on Trump's tariffs and pulled no punches

Nobody is coming to save us but us. Yesterday I launched my campaign for U.S. Senate because we deserve – and we need – a new path.

The European Union plans to slap Elon Musk’s X with a massive fine of over $1 billion and mandate changes — all under the Digital Services Act. EU regulators assert Musk’s social media platform is violating the landmark law “to combat illicit content and disinformation.” Penalties are…

Taking tariffs one step at a time... 🤣

The Sec of Commerce is an idiot. He thinks Trump repeating the same claim for 35 years is evidence that Trump is "right". He trusts a self-proclaimed "stable genius" with 6 commercial real estate bankruptcies. Those losses were not Trump's assets, they were bank loans $. Trump is the sell out!

Any farmers out there that can speak to whether they can get info for planting season ? Or loans to help them get through this ? Are federal offices open to even process loan requests ?

Fox removed the stock market ticker from their broadcasts.

Finally *liberated* from a strong economy, record stock market, and historically low unemployment.

Did Trump say ANYthing today that was true?

If you’re upset about the chaos and corruption Trump is inflicting on your country—whether your focus is the nihilistic dismantling of government, the economy, our foreign relations, or his threats to the rule of law—please join the nationwide marches on April 5. Learn more here 👉 handsoff2025.com

I.e., "As the cynical host paid to claim government is inefficient, allow me to interrupt your insightful answer to my previous question, change the topic, and then stick some words in your mouth"

Incompetence, personified

Kill a white millionaire, get the death penalty. Kill two black protesters, get invited to CPAC to be celebrated.

X is not worth 33 billion. He basically just paid himself $33B from another company, presumably to pay off his debts from the initial buy because he knows he'll never be able to raise the capital from X itself. He is his own ponzi scheme.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income. Who agrees it’s time to scrap the cap?

Man who peddles in lies and debunked myths is on the attack against networks that deliver some of the most objective news and educational content. The US will only be weakened by his continued assault on an educated public thehill.com/homenews/med...

A perfect example of low life trash.

They’re not going to get out of this by playing semantics. Sending detailed information about an upcoming military strike on unclassified channels (and even to the wrong guy) is wrong, reckless, and obviously a threat to American troops.
