Trump to Bukele: "Home-growns are next. The home-growns. You gotta build about five more places. It's not big enough."

The administration that called Canada “the 51st state” and said “we’re going to get” Greenland is suddenly cowed by sovereignty.

"I just heard about it" -- Trump opined at length about the Masters while talking to reporters this morning but played completely dumb about the arson attack targeting Gov. Shapiro

MILLER: “A DOJ lawyer, who has since been relieved of duty, a saboteur, a Democrat, put into a filing that this was a mistaken removal. It was not.” Astonishing stuff — DOJ conceded even to SCOTUS that the deportation was “administrative error.” Is Trump’s Solicitor General also a saboteur?

After watching 60 Minutes tonight, Trump calls on FCC Chair Brendan Carr to revoke CBS’s broadcast license.

Remember when a Cabinet secretary would say something and you could just assume it reflected the unified thinking of an administration and not merely one tiny part of a six-sided screaming match?

I saw headlines about Trump's education secretary making this mistake, and I just assumed she was reading, because I have mistaken that word myself while reading. But she was not reading. Jesus Christ, she was not reading.

oh come ON

DHS propaganda getting pushed to Vizio TVs as an "ad."

Chuck I implore you to stop talking about this amazing future where everyone will realize what a terrible time this was when we are experiencing the terrible time right now

Peter Navarro to Kasie Hunt: "Kasie, please, would you give us some kudos here?"

students are being deported for writing op-eds, not vandalizing a library. Taking part in a protest, not taking over a campus. Rubio is making claims about guilt without offer any evidence.

there is no “epidemic,” he is almost certainly going to say it is vaccines and, well, stay safe everyone.

on some level it’s at least a little funny that these idiots seem to be going “what do the other evil guys do? we need something that says ‘evil loser’ to everybody who’s seen a Star Wars movie”

If this quote doesn’t sum up the current corporate paralysis, I don’t know what does. $AEHR

Per NYTimes, this is what caused Trump to flinch, because the clowns running America apparently didn't think it was possible that irrationally destroying U.S. trade and triggering an equity meltdown might also cause problems with the Treasury bond market. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/u...

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.

Picking up some subtle clues, perhaps elusive to NPR, that the administration doesn’t sincerely care about antisemitism. Well, except insofar as they think it’s awesome!

Whoa…this 🔥🔥🔥 Trump called out for “Market manipulation” by @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

He just testified all morning about the reasons why the tariff policy was going to make America great. Then he checked his phone and realized everything he just said was canceled on Truth Social.

McGovern: "How is any company supposed to forecast for their future, build a plant, hire workers, if they have no idea what the hell this president is gonna do in his next tweet? ... I need a neck brace to be able to get through all this."

the thing about this presidency is that there is zero doubt he is letting all his friends and family know before any trade move he makes, which would be in a top 10 presidential scandal of all time, but it doesn't even register with Trump because he does so many crimes & media gives him a pass

one of the most accurate memes out there

I would like to get off this roller coaster.

Crockett: It has taken Texas’ largest measles outbreak in 30 years with more than 500 confirmed cases and the deaths of two children for the secretary of health and human services to say what we already knew. The most effective way to prevent the spread of measles is the vaccin

Trump and Musk are compiling all the data the government has about you in one place. It's the kind of thing you'd do if you wanted to create a police state--which we should assume they intend to do.

My column today is about the weird misogyny and misplaced anti-elitism of the "men should in factories" rhetoric about tariffs. But I do take time to point out that manufacturing was already on an upswing, without gutting the world economy. Gift link: wapo.st/4jiEAds

WARNER: Can you explain how it helps natl security or our trade balance - I loved your fancy Greek formula which was bad math on steroids - how with a trade surplus Australia got hit with a 10% tariff as well? GREER: Australia has the lowest rate available WARNER: We have a trade surplus!
