Indeed!

Trump is terminating grants for a program that helps advocate for children who have been the victims of abuse and neglect. Is that the Republican Party's platform now? Abandon child victims of crime to make room to cut taxes for billionaires?

The final honor guard for Pope Francis included migrants, prisoners, transgender people, the homeless and others selected by the Vicariate of Rome as a symbol of the late pope’s mission of inclusion and outreach. Read more from the funeral: wapo.st/3YdDGqM

I was denied permission to host a roundtable at the Puget Sound VA to hear from women veterans about their health care. I have NEVER been outright denied from having open & honest conversations with VA—until this administration. I'm demanding an answer from VA Secretary, Doug Collins.

Tonight is the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere’s midnight ride. May his memory remind us all to resist the tyranny forming in our government.

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

This is some sick shit

oh my god

We are nearing the end.

•••IMPORTANT UPDATE••• The top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, Rep. Gerry Connolly, is calling for an investigation into DOGE's access to the National Labor Relations Board following NPR’s bombshell reporting on the sensitive data DOGE has allegedly been manipulating and stealing…

🚨BREAKING: Trump's IRS nominee Billy Long just had his personal debt paid off by donors whose firms have business before the tax agency he’d lead, according to documents reviewed by The Lever. If confirmed, Long would be able to do favors for the donors. www.levernews.com/trump-irs-pi...

When Trump and Musk tout how much money they're saving by gutting cancer research and Social Security services, know this: Their IRS cuts will cost $500 billion in tax revenue just this year. That's more than half the Defense budget. None of their destruction is actually about saving money.

Sounds more like the kind of person we should be working hard to persuade to stay here in the US. We need more like him and far fewer people like those who are trying to remove him.

From Fox Business analyst, after Howard Lutnick said this morning on the Sunday shows that the tariff exemptions on tech were only temporary.

Gone from the Naval Academy library after Trump book purge: "Memorializing the Holocaust." Still on the shelves: Two copies of "Mein Kampf." @johnismay.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

The “SAVE Act” is nothing but a brazen attempt to suppress women’s votes because Republicans know they always lose women.

HEGSETH: We're taking back the canal TRUMP: We've moved a lot of troops to Panama

What's the sense in this? How does this make America healthier? RFK Jr. is running a scam.

In any normal administration, the Director of National Intelligence committing voter fraud would lead to an immediate resignation and criminal investigation.

if you're wondering why Trump changed course... ...it's because his owners told him to "or else."

“J. D. Vance’s selection as Trump’s running mate suggests that Vance’s benefactor, Peter Thiel, is running the show, reprising an aborted effort to run the show from 2016. He seems to have learned from his mistakes.” By @davetroy.com, 7/30/24 1/

You lost your 401k... and did Trump make money doing it? He posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" just hours before pausing the tariffs. It's time for everyone to ask House Republicans why they aren't fighting for an investigation into this.

My law firm is currently litigating 50 voting and election cases in 21 states. I expect new cases will be filed this week. States with the most cases: AZ, GA, NC, NV, FL, LA, PA.

WSJ EDITORIAL BOARD: “President Trump’s across-the-board tariffs will change the world order in many ways, and one winner is already emerging: Xi Jinping. The Chinese President has had an excellent week.” 👉 www.wsj.com/opinion/xi-j...

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

TODAY: It’s time to take to the streets nationwide to let Trump and Musk know they can’t intimidate us into submission. Nearly 600,000 people are signed up to attend 1,400 events in every state and seven countries. Find out what’s happening near you and join us: handsoff2025.com?SQF_SOURCE=i...

This is a real exchange I just had:

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”. He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”. The job was helping people with disabilities.

The Dow was down another 2200 today. People planning on retiring have to rethink their decision right now as 401k’s take a major dive. All because an orange wannabe dictator wants countries to bow down and beg him.Families will have a hard time just feeding their families due to his tariffs.

🚨MUST-WATCH: “Something very fishy is happening.” @mrglobaltoo.bsky.social deep dives on Strategic Storage Partners, the shady self-storage real estate company Trump’s Secretary of Energy just awarded $1.4 BILLION to manage our strategic petroleum reserve🤔 Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DIAXDvj...

COLLINS: China has this 34% tariff. There were already 20% tariffs on China. So is that 34% on top of that, meaning it's a 54% tariff on China? BESSENT: I believe it is

Curtis Yarvin and his pals Simone & Malcolm Collins are all Peter Thiel “pro-natalists” who believe their DNA is so amazing that they have a responsibility to share their magnificence with the world before we go extinct. They, apparently, own no mirrors.

Spelling and grammar are woke.

Warner on Fox News Sunday on Navarro's case for tariffs: "He's talking about tariffs in the first Trump administration. He should've looked a little more at history. I think they were called the Smoot-Hawley tariffs in the 1920s. That policy led to the Depression."

Hitler used a failing economy to secure power. That’s why Trump is destroying ours.
