MEEKS: Does trade deficits constitute a national emergency? BESSENT: Yes MEEKS: Do you know that for the last four decades we have trade deficits and nobody said it was a national emergency?

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

Linda McMahon, Secretary of Education, sent Harvard a letter. They graded it. Bwahahaha.

Trump’s back in the White House—and his kids are cashing in. Saudi towers, Qatari golf deals, crypto schemes. This isn’t public service. It’s a shakedown. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-trump-...

The Attorney General of the United States gushing on camera that the President has saved two-thirds of the entire population of America from dying of a fentanyl overdose was a gut-churning lurch towards the absurd flattery lavished on personality-cult dictators by fawning subordinates.

NEW: In an interview with Democracy Docket, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) warns that the danger Trump presents to democracy is unfolding in real time and says “the majority of Republicans in Congress are signed up to put Trump in power forever.” From: @yuniorarivas.bsky.social

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

“As we navigate the recent tariff changes, we've made the considered decision to temporarily pause shipping to the United States.”

Repeatedly.

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

Booker: Do you think we got the right to vote for women because a bunch of men on the House floor got together and said “on the count of three, women get the right to vote..” That’s not how it happened… Change doesn’t come from Washington. It comes to Washington.

NEW: The Supreme Court took 6 months to decide immunity, but just 6 days to effectively strip the rest of us of due process. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-corrup...

Utah Mormon psychologist & pornography addiction book author Robert Dindinger has been arrested for convincing child patients to undress so he could secretly record them. www.fox13now.com/news/crime/o...

We live in a time that people are more inclined to obey an unlawful executive order than they are to follow a court order 🤦🏾‍♀️. Dictators are created due to cruelty, cowardice, & compliance! IF THEIR ASSES will ignore the Supreme Court, we can definitely IGNORE HIM!

My eldest daughter Claudia once asked me why there isn’t a provision that says that convicted felons can’t be president and this was *exactly* my answer

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Steven Levitsky on why the U.S. is now a competitive authoritarian regime and can't be considered a democracy. www.npr.org/2025/04/22/n...

Republicans can't govern. They come in, steal a bunch of money, and leave the wreckage for Democrats to fix. Then they whine that Democrats are not fixing things quickly enough. Over and over and over.

If you are running a TV news show, like 60 Minutes, and the Trump administration is trying to censor your inconvenient content, the courageous thing to do is not to quit, it is to say, "Fuck you."

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

i’m getting van hollen pilled

Lisa Murkowski has the ability to fight back more effectively than most. Rather than giving into fear, she should give in to anger. And then she should do something about it by refusing to cast one more vote in support of a president and an agenda whose primary mission is to instill fear.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Agreed! 😂😂

Folks who are citizens of other countries and are considering travel to the United States for a vacation or work or whatever: I strongly advise against it. You will not have protection from the illegal actions of this administration. It's not worth it. Don't roll the dice by traveling here.

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

They are obviously slow learners
