Warren: "There is no tariff policy. It's just all chaos and corruption. That's all we have going on. And how can you believe any of these guys?

Disappearing people without any due process is fascism ā€” full stop. Iā€™m sick to my stomach and we all should be.

100%. It really is time to go there. Again.

Exactly

Thereā€™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.

guarantee they're going after foreign students because they're a fucking easy quota point, just like going after immigrants who have been keeping all their appointments with the government 'we're deporting criminals' was always a fucking lie

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 donā€™t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

Biggest insider trading market manipulation scheme in history. They aren't even bothering to hide it.

Donā€™t be fooled ā€” the SAVE Act is a Voter Suppression Act. Letā€™s call it like it is!

Crockett: Like the fact that they sat around called Joe Biden sleepy Joe Biden. And as I said before, at least you could sleep at night because you didn't have to worry about your 401 K disappearing.

No lawmaker in Congress should be able to own, buy, and sell individual stocks. We need to ban congressional stock tradingā€”and I've got a bill for that.

Sure was a lucky break for those billionaires to be at the White House today when the tariffs were reversed. Good day in the market for them.

Maddow: They cannot defend what they're doing, they cannot commit to what they're doing, but they also can't even reverse what they're doing when they try to reverse it because they are so incompetent, they can't even fail properly

Gasparino: Let's be clear what happened, who capitulated here and why? You know, I don't want to say this because I am a patriot, I am an American, but it is The White House who capitulated based on everything I hear and all my sources

Exactly. Heā€™s a malignant narcissist, a narcissistic sociopath, a megalomaniac. Itā€™s all about this. Some of us tried to warn everyone.

My friend @aprildryan.bsky.social says ā€œI donā€™t recognize who we areā€ as Trumpā€™s team tries to erase the history of people like Harriet Tubman on a National Park Service website. April notes some of us in the press predicted Trump would be more radical this time around. youtu.be/LFP12eKpELg?...

President Trump is using the Abrego Garcia case to establish a truly chilling proposition: that no one can stop him from imprisoning anyone he wants anywhere else in the world never to be seen or heard from again. His dream is to preside over a police state. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/o...

Never forget that the chief complaint against Biden was ā€œthe economy is terrible.ā€ You utter imbeciles

Once you get into business with the Mob, you can never get out.

What kills me is I know a bunch of very rich very stupid people who voted for him because they said heā€™d be good for the economy. Anyone alive during 2016 to 2020 wouldā€™ve been able to tell you that Trump is completely nonsensical and moronic. we are the United States of amnesia.

NEW: China is furious at JD Vance following the VP's crude remarks about "Chinese peasants." China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs calls Vance's comments "ignorant and impolite." Vance has once again made a massive blunder on the international stage.

Booker: For people with 401(k) accounts and retirement savings, theyā€™ve lost thousands. Iā€™ve been hearing from people who had hoped to retire this year after working 25, 30, or even 35 years, but now they donā€™t think they have enough money because heā€™s taken $6 trillion overall out of the markets.

Imagine a billionaire wanting to bring America back to the Robber Baron Gilded Age that caused the Great Depression, and using racism so gullible non-millionaires will let you.

Trump has now officially wiped out an entire YEAR of economic gains in four days. But hey, egg prices right?

"Trump administration orders half of national forests open for logging... "An emergency order removes protections covering more than half the land managed by the U.S. Forest Service..." www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

And if you want a business man, why choose a multiply-bankrupted one?!

A very important, elemental concept that I wish more people writing about policy understood is this: ***one personā€™s cost is another personā€™s income**** Itā€™s the source of a whole lot of confusion and also an inherent source of conflict between different interests.

I would never let my kid get behind the wheel of a car drunk, so why are we letting a convicted felon get behind the wheel of our country and wrap it around a tree?

ā€œYour 401(k) isnā€™t my problem. Iā€™ve got a golf game to win. See ya around, rubes.ā€

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

Whatā€™s really going on with the economy? I believe Trump and his billionaire buddies ā€” the American oligarchy ā€” have a plan. They want a recession. robertreich.substack.com/p/why-trump-...

Iā€™ve been asking myself the same question for 10 years.

Chief Justice Roberts has stayed the order requiring the Trump govt to return Abrego Garcia to the US today. He has given his lawyers until tomorrow to respond.

Donald Trumpā€™s policies are tanking 401Ks, ruining relationships with our closest allies, and jacking up prices for working families. Meanwhile thereā€™s not a peep from Juan Ciscomani. He is complicit. He does not care. #AZ06 deserves better.

This is well worth reading: "Whatever dam of despair that kept so many Americans quiet or despondent has now broken..." slate.com/news-and-pol...

HRC was right about everything.ā˜¹ļø

he did this just *after* going to the funeral of an 8 year old girl. he walks away from where the hearse is idling and immediately starts hyping this stuff again. www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Trump loves to save the public from a crisis he caused but also hates showing weakness but also loves to make a deal but also loves to inflict pain, you can imagine the emotional tumult this is causing, my heart aches for him

The same damage being done to the stock market is being done to our health, securities & environment, there just isn't a stock ticker to show how bad it is for the others.
