FOTUS wants a 4 mile military parade through DC for his 79th b-day. This is the same guy who dodged the draft and now wants tanks and flyovers to mark his “accomplishments.” Remember when the last one was canceled because it would cost $92 mil? DOGE - I think this qualifies as wasteful spending 🙄

Reminder: We are not at war with Venezuela. The people deported are not enemies. The law in question should not apply. Among the most dangerous aspects of the SCOTUS ruling is the idea that the president and his people have the right to arbitrarily determine who our enemies are.

I don't always feel comfortable giving the #middlefinger to #tesla drivers, but I do stick my tongue out at them🤷😛👍 #musk #fmusk #trump #ftrump #resist #screwtesla #ice #tariffs

If I were criminally wealthy & wanted to be liked I would build giant puppy retreats where all the dogs who aren't adopted could go play & run free & bus orphans out there to visit them & serve everyone pizza & cake. Then there's whatever tf Musk is doing.

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

EXCLUSIVE: House Democrats launch an investigation into potential conflicts of interest between NASA and Elon Musk

CNBC's @andrewrsorkin.bsky.social makes a rare and bold (and likely spot-on) observation about the real potential that Trump, his administration and/or elected officials participated in insider trading just prior to Trump's disastrous "Liberation Day" tariffs announcement. #CORRUPTION

Today Trump and Netanyahu talked about their plan to have Palestinians "voluntarily" leave Gaza. Let's be clear: nothing about this is voluntary — it would mean the coerced deportation of 2 million people from Gaza and U.S. taxpayers should have NOTHING to do with it.

"Because even ghosts carry memory. Even silence echoes. Even in the ashes, people are writing their names. And that, perhaps, is what terrifies them most: That no amount of spin will ever make Netanyahu look like a peacemaker. That the world is starting to see not just the ruins—but the architects."

#SignalGate #GmailGate

Just so nobody forgets : the Trump administration is complicit in THIS. By forcing Ukraine to comply to its abject greed, instead of exerting the smallest constraint on Putin’s terrorist regime. #trumputin #impeachkrasnov #krasnov #trump #signalgate #ceasefire Impeach. Remove. Jail. 🇫🇷🇪🇺🇺🇦

Better question. Why is Pete Hegseth still employed? #SignalGate

How about? Ignore the noise. #GoodTrouble #SignalGate

#crowdsource funded #lottery where the winner gets enough money to #emigrate out of the #usa and start a new life.

Sort of astonishing, isn't it? The Rs are just chortling with glee that this will create warehouse jobs for everyone. The, um, Dem Presidents wanted you to own your business and house and earn a living wage. Where ARE the "both parties are the same" assholes these days?

$15 billion. That’s how much NASA has funneled to Musk’s SpaceX—while he runs DOGE, shapes policy, and cashes checks. Democrats just launched an investigation. Because this isn’t space exploration. It’s self-dealing in orbit.

#magaf*ks just keep calling Garcia a "terrorist" like they really think if we hear it enough we'll be #brainwashed into believing it. If NOTHING else, the fact that the #trump administration is "incapable" of returning Garcia, is just more evidence of their appalling incompetence.

From @keithwillwynne.bsky.social on Dead🐦: #ICE handcuffed and detained three 3rd graders in Sackets Harbor, NY this week The small town with a population of ~1500 came out to protest with 1000 people in attendance. ___ Hashtag mine. #Immigration www.wwnytv.com/2025/04/04/7...

3RD GRADERS?!?!?!?!?!?! Get him & his admin out of office NOW.

This is what happens when whidentity politics voters prefer a Grand Wizard of the White House over a President. 3rd Graders arrested in door to door “papers please” searches. If they can deport without trial, they can snatch anyone they want, regardless of status. Citizens have no rights either.

Is this who we are? 😳🇺🇸

Trump, who campaigned on ending Russia’s war against Ukraine in 24 hours: “We’re talking to Russia. We’d like them to stop. I don’t like the bombing. The bombing goes on and on. Every week people, thousands of young people are being killed and it’s a horrible thing…”

#Bluesky needs to fix the bugs😶...like the janky #gifkeyboard, why do we even have to use it? I tried for like an hour to post the right gif, just gave up on it. Today ig the tag search feature is down 😑 #bugsky

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

Neither side can have an actual honest, productive conversation about literally anything because everyone's been so brain-poisoned by online rhetoric & team sport mentality that they think 60 second clips of assholes talking into their iPhone cameras contain solutions to complex societal issues

Trump is on vacation and the Dow is down over 2000 points, and negative on the year. Oh he also skipped the dignified transfer of troops killed in Lithuania. Fox completely silent.

Boyle: It’s pretty striking that literally all Donald Trump had to do was nothing. He could sit there, watch Fox News all day, sit with the remote control, occasionally tweet, and then on weekends go down to Mar-a-Lago and play golf. But instead, he purposely went about ruining this economy.

This morning #frump has courted #foreigninvestors to swoop in and buy up all our stock while the markets down, and is considering lifting #tarriffs for #communist Vietnam...? 🤕 #maga?

Frumps attacks on law firms like #PerkinsCoie directly violates a legal precedent that the #NRA helped to set...lol, when #dems take the white house maybe we'll make it illegal to do business with the NRA, or #fox,... or the #NFL! 😆 abovethelaw.com/2025/04/seve...

Oh, to have to confidence of a Trump supporter who has no clue what she’s talking about.

TRUMP DITCHES FALLEN SOLDIERS' DIGNIFIED TRANSFER FOR GOLF DINNER Trump won't attend the dignified transfer of 4 U.S. soldiers at Dover AFB who died in Lithuania. He'll be at his Saudi-backed LIV Golf dinner in Florida instead. The soldiers were honored by Lithuania's president.

It has been two weeks since a Georgia woman was arrested for her miscarriage, and not one major national outlet has covered the story

He hates the military. We are just props.

I find it outrageous as well.

#Shetoldyouso 😑 #Kamala #Harris #imissher

BREAKING: The Department of Defense Inspector General has launched an investigation into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for sharing secret attack plans against the Houthis using Signal.

Don't let up on Signalgate. The Mueller report cited rampant use of Signal as a means of obstruction of justice. The entire discussion is fait accompli. Also guarantee it is how everyone inside this thug WH communicates. Which means the law is being knowingly & deliberately violated every day.

📌Aside from completely wrecking the economy ... It would be great if everybody focused on why no tariffs were placed on Russia. (Hint: He's compromised.) -Thanks

The spit will be flying at Fox News as they act performatively irate we aren’t all worshipping the infallible Trump’s oh-so-smart tariffs. They HAVE to spin this calamity. And blame Democrats.

I can't believe Lucas was right about the fall of the republic happening because of arcane trade policy
