A direct assault on the First Amendment.

"If we buy coffee from Costa Rica and they buy nothing from us (which isn’t true, but just as an illustration), in no sense has Costa Rica taken advantage of America. We gave them dollars and they gave us coffee in return. That is called commerce."

‘Silicon Six’ accused of avoiding almost $278bn in US taxes over 10 years Analysis finds Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, Netflix, Apple and Microsoft averaged 18.8%, compared with 29.7% US average. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... MMAAAN makes me nostalgic for FAANG—& also says Microsoft is back?!

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

Shorter Bukele: The ball is in Trump's court. 1) Bukele says 3x he can't "SMUGGLE" Abrego Garcia into US - i.e., if not legally permitted (by Trump admin) to do so 2) Why THAT question would be "preposterous." 3) Then adds: "I don't have the power to return him to the United States." (Trump does)

If Stephen Miller can lie about Abrego Garcia and his case on national TV, he can do it in federal court under oath. Judge Xinis should demand his appearance, question him under oath, then jail him for Contempt when he commits Perjury. This lawless administration has to be subjected to rule of law.

⚡️ Ukraine detains instructor plotting killings of training base commanders on Russia's behalf, SBU says. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) detained an instructor at a training center in Lviv Oblast who was planning assassinations of the base's commanders, the SBU said on April 14.

WATCH: “The Chinese told the 3 largest 🇺🇸 soybean distributors in China they can no longer do business there.” Tennessee’s #1 cash crop. Another Trump trade war farmer bailout won’t be far behind.

Statement from Trump on Putin’s Palm Sunday Massacre missile attack that killed at least 34, including several children, and injured another 117 people:

NEWS TODAY… 😔🇺🇦 🕯️Sumy, Russian strike, 34 people killed, including 2 children, 117 injured. 💥 A powerful explosion occurred in Orenburg near Sakmarskaya CHPP. 🔥 Fire in the Saratov region is near the Engels-2 Air Base. Support appreciated 🙏 ☕️ buymeacoffee.com/MAKS22 ▪️ PayPal: [email protected]

Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro said his official residence in the state capital was targeted in an arson attack while he and his family were asleep early Sunday morning

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

WELKER: There is currently an exclusion for some products NAVARRO: It's not an exclusion WELKER: The White House called it an exclusion

😔 The Russians in Sumy took the lives of the entire Martynenko family - the boy Maksym, who was in the 6th grade, died with his parents.

I will never trust a country that thought it was a good idea to elect this ridiculous, malevolent man as its leader.

The real impact.

🔥 FARMER: “This I-told-you-so, it’s I-wish-you-would’ve-listened… China is more prepared this time… they just canceled the 3 largest soybean contracts… Trump isn’t playing chess or checkers with China - they’re sitting in a corner playing with themselves.” Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DIW56aF...

BREAKING: Police say they evacuated Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and his family from the governor’s residence after someone set fire to it. No one was injured. Police said in a statement that the investigation was ongoing but they were “prepared to say at this time that this was an act of arson.”

BREAKING: Famed Economist Paul Krugman just told Ari Melber: "This Tariff pause is [still] a tariff rate that is higher overall than Smooth-Hawley. This is a bigger shock to the economy than any trade policy in any country’s history."

@warren.senate.gov: "This is the Trump administration. Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous for the billionaires. Billionaires win and everybody else loses. And they laugh about it."

Frost: They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.

THREAD: Some folks have asked why Donald doesn’t just pick up the phone and bring Abrego Garcia back. Besides the cruelty, what’s the point of defying the lower court’s order? Basically, he wants to see if he can get away with it. 1/

Seems like a waste of taxpayer money

🙏

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

We have the most anti-free speech government in modern American history. (And yet, in true Orwellian fashion, they claim to be champions of free speech.)

😢 Zelensky: Sumy. The world must respond firmly. The US, Europe, everyone in the world who wants this war and these killings to end. Russia wants exactly this kind of terror and is dragging this war out. Without pressure on Russia, peace is impossible.

⚡️A Russian missile strike killed at least 20 people in the city of Sumy on the morning of Palm Sunday, Sumy Mayor Artem Kobzar reported on April 13.

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

🤬 Russians dropped 249 KABs in one day…

Rachel Reeves calls for global free trade fightback to protect UK economy

🤬 Russian terrorists hit the center of Sumy with two ballistic missiles. 🙏 On Palm Sunday, when many believers go to church. A child is injured in Sumy as a result of a Russian attack.

After this, what more proof does Britain need that it cannot ‘cosy up’ to Trump? | William Keegan

"Trump cannot assuage the bond market. He cannot convince it that he is 'normal' and should be given the benefit of the doubt. He cannot scare it into submission. He cannot bribe it. The bond market is not like the Supreme Court or Paul Weiss or Columbia."

💔 There are many dead in Sumy as a result of the Russian strike, — Mayor

One month ago, Ukraine agreed to a full 30-day ceasefire in the U.S.-mediated talks in Jeddah, and Russia did not. Russian attacks on Ukraine have killed over 160 civilians in March alone.

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

"Donald Trump’s erratic and foolish actions have turned the most desirable financial haven in the world into a whirlpool of risk. The safest way to conduct business now is to avoid the United States to the greatest extent possible."

When Rubio announced the agreement with El Salvador in February he touted it as a way to outsourcing the federal prison system by allowing the US to send American citizen inmates there to serve their . This undercuts the Trump administration’s claim to the courts that it can’t get people back.

As Canadians, our choice to boycott all things American is having a HUGE impact! Now is the time to double-down on our efforts, and change our shopping habits going forward. This is one of the biggest impacts we can have as individuals. (And VOTE). #elbowsup Canada! www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAPx...
