Every single thing he fucks up in a day is going to take years, minimum, to fix, if ever.

WIth everything else you kind of forget that the president of the united states is a crypto scammer

This is exceptionally well reported: in case after case Trump has surrendered long time US interests to favor Russia and gained nothing in return. When you put it all together it a staggering surrender. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/26/u...

so, arresting judges should be more than enough reason for complete obstruction at in the house and senate. complete obstruction. anything you can do. interrupt proceedings, deny consent, holds on nominations. everything.

When they start arresting judges we’re all in a lot of trouble

(1/4) It was America and Britain that guaranteed the sovereignty of Ukraine and its borders in return for persuading them to give up their nuclear weapons.

Reuters poll: Trump approval 37% approve 57% disapprove U.S. adults

Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova has been in ICE custody for about two months. Her colleague and friend Leon Peshkin says her case is causing some scientists to reconsider working in the U.S.

NEW: The Trump administration is quietly putting America’s children at risk by cutting funds and manpower for investigating child abuse, enforcing child support payments, providing child care and much more.

If you're broke and struggling to pay rent, congrats. Trump's Education Department is coming for your wages. Not the billionaires hiding money overseas. Not the corporations dodging taxes. You. #StudentLoans #AreWeGreatYet

This will be incredibly popular 🙄

Kanye totally ruined his chances of being named Secretary of Defense with that tweet. Sad.

There is probably a third signal chat group where he invited the Houthis.

They hate America, the constitution, and our democracy, and want a dictatorship instead. They’re not hiding it.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

Enjoy, and… Pass. It. On. 😎✨

A friend of mine has coined the term “Pinocheting” to describe what the government is doing to these prisoners.

Just so we’re clear, Trump is arguing that we could have just put him on a plane to CECOT on January 7th?

Sign of the day…

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

Yeah, this seems VERY important

“Department of Government Efficiency.”

These are not real town halls. They’re fine, but don’t let them claim these are as good as town halls. You totally control the script. I’ve done dozens of em

The new MAGA hat:

If we make it through this dark period with democracy intact, it may be because the administration's incompetence was greater than its depravity.

Trump’s inner circle is floating Kevin Warsh as Powell’s replacement—but even Warsh says don’t fire Powell early. Trump doesn’t care. He’s testing the boundaries of Fed law and market patience. This isn’t just a reshuffle. It’s a full-blown power grab over U.S. monetary policy.

Good thing the Supreme Court had the wisdom and foresight not to give the president yet another layer of unchecked unaccountable power last year

this whole administration is like when they shut off the containment unit in ‘ghostbusters’

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Remember when the rule of law applied the same to everyone in America, whether you were President of the United States or an undocumented immigrant? Now it doesn't seem to apply to either.

Proof of life. It's time.

Please repeat over and over: “Bending to the whims of a bully will not end his cruelty. It will only embolden him. The response to authoritarianism isn’t acquiescence. Bullies respond to one thing, and one thing only: a punch in the face.” —Gov. JB Pritzker

A reminder that there is no human being in the United States whom it would be legal to disappear to a Salvadoran prison without due process of law.

This is in fact what we have done. Foolish, shortsighted, appalling.
