Legal expert @stevevladeck.bsky.social joins Jen Rubin to unpack the SCOTUS Alien Enemies Act ruling and what happens now to the people who have been deported without due process. Watch the full interview now:

You can tell who the Good Guys are because they're the ones smashing a car window to drag a mother away from her child while wearing ski masks.

Never fails

Tanking everybody's 401k was the plan all along. This is securities fraud folks!

Lori Beth Denberg reprised her All That librarian character to do a pro-library, anti-book banning reel and I love it so much??? www.instagram.com/reel/DIK0_bD...

This is the worst, weakest, weirdest administration in American history. And yes, that includes William Henry Harrison, who died after only 30 days in office. EVEN HE had a more effective administration.

This fucking criminal bastard just held the world upside down by its feet just to jingle out some money for himself. The billionaires are back to kissing his feet.

Again. Still. It just never ends, as some continue to turn a willfully blind eye - to the great peril of U.S.

Except for years upon years of wrecked financial reputation. We haven't even begun to comprehend the damage.

It’s a scary time. So feel the fear, metabolize the fear and transcend the fear by working with other people to act with courage and stand tall for democracy and freedom.

So we aren’t getting Liberated now? What about Liberation Day?

“I am telling you, these countries are calling us up, kissing my ass,” Trump ranted. “They are, they are dying to make a deal. ‘Please, please sir, make a deal. I’ll do anything sir!’” Trump said, imitating a desperate foreign leader.

No Doubt In My Mind! Criminal Behavior Continues…

BREAKING: Mike Johnson just PULLED tonight’s expected vote on the GOP budget blueprint, for lack of votes.

If you watched the Oval Office, Trump targeted two individuals whose only offense was saying the truth. Then he targeted a law firm because it sued FoxNews. It ended with him totaling the money Big Law firms that have capitulated owe him in pro bono. We cannot give up. We must all commit to fight.

Pee Wee German said last night the global tariffs were the greatest economic strategy ever. Now reversing them is.

Sen. DURBIN to Meta whistleblower: Thank you. You join other whistleblowers who bravely have come before Congress to detail how Meta consistently chooses profits and growth over people and safety.

He’s pulled the knife half way out of the economy’s back, but the injury (no longer a reliable trading partner) will take years to heal. #stupid

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."

Call me skeptical, but I don't think putting a pause on retaliatory tariffs on Saint Pierre and Miquelon, The Falkland Islands, Fiji, Norfolk Island, and Chad is going to counteract the over 100% retaliatory tariffs on our biggest trading partner, China. Seems the markets are being a bit silly.

"Who could have predicted this?" say the people who spent the past year dismissing or mocking those who predicted this.

I've been waiting for this one to come out! @quinnslobodian.com's previous book, "Crack Up Capitalism," sparked my own work. If you want to understand the origins of our current political crisis, read everything he writes. Pre-order! Book club! bookshop.org/p/books/haye...

"Who was dumping the bonds? Somebody asked him if it was China, right? It wasn't. It was Japan," said Charlie Gasparino on Fox Business.

Think about how much of an entitled prick you’d have to be to think calling other human beings “peasants” when you’re the Vice President is an ok thing to do. The world’s worst diplomat strikes again. Also: we don’t borrow money from them. That is nonsense.

"The hypocrisy is really laughable. When you talk about the specific war planning, you have individuals in armed services whose families won't even mention where they're posted out of their own safety. But we have the highest individuals in our intelligence community putting that stuff on a chat."

Don’t blame me, I voted for both of the supremely qualified female presidential candidates who warned everyone this would all happen if the evil diabolical felon was gifted power. I remain proud AF and my conscience cleared.

I don't know . . . maybe it wasn't such a good idea to give so much power to a mean-spirited simpleton with no empathy.

Here’s some unique news: my music has been added to the library of congress www.npr.org/2025/04/09/n...

“Mommy, no. Mommy.” Daughter captures the moment masked ICE agents smash the window of her mother's car in order to take her into custody. The government claims the 52-year old seamstress is an associate of the MS-13 gang. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/community/lo...

Boy howdy!!!!!!

Get involved locally and change your part of the world for the better.

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Total shit show of a White House.

One would have thought that having more money than you could ever spend in a lifetime would have protected one from being a complete worm. Guess one was wrong.

When they loudly scream the quiet part in market manipulations.

This quote from Fundstrat Market Strategy & Sector Research is, sadly, spot on.

Backed down again… Market Manipulation… Plain and simple. Any Questions?!

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

We have 3 branches of federal government. Usually, if one is not working properly, the other 2 can step in. Have we ever had another time in our nation's history when *none* of the branches were working? Yes, the judiciary seemed prepared to step into the breach--until SCOTUS ruined things again.

tbh i didn't know one person could destroy the global economy

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.

I heart @brooke — telling a suicide bomber who blew up the economy due for no reason that he is brilliant is peak beta chode for Ackman.
