Through new policies and aggressive cuts, the Trump administration is taking steps that will encourage more pollution while muffling the science that shows its harms. The very air that Americans breathe will likely become less safe, @zoeschlanger.bsky.social reports:

Please watch and share. It can be easy to get a little lost in the details, but the ENTIRE THING they're doing is absolutely built on a foundation of lies and flagrantly illegal.

didn't take much for these guys to go from "big government is bad" to "what's the big deal if you're abducted by the government and trafficked to Mongolia"

"This isn't a battle of your choosing. But it is the battle for which you will always be judged. This is the moment you must show the world and history which side of the Edmund Pettis Bridge you are standing on." - Stuart Stevens

AOC: Some of the Republicans whose districts we visited just warned their leadership that they’re not sure they can vote for Medicaid cuts now. We’ve got them on their back foot. But our job is not done. We will rally every corner of the U.S. We will not stop until they actually vote no.

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal. He was found guilty of 34 felony counts of fraud, found liable for sexual abuse. If he wants to find the rapists and criminals in this country, he should look in the mirror

SCOOP --> The cop who initially attested to Abrego Garcia's alleged MS-13 membership was subsequently suspended and indicted for serious professional misconduct: Sharing case info with a sex worker. This undermines Trumpworld's smears. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1940...

Everyone should ask Rep. Nancy Mace if she supports Trump's destructive tariffs... or if she supports the thousands of Boeing employees based in her district hanging in the balance? They deserve to know, their livelihoods are on the line. Does she care? Call her to ask for yourself: (202) 225-3176

@lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com on Trump attacking the rule of law: We are all Harvard. We are all Abrego Garcia. youtu.be/aPFo2nS19D0?...

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Donald Trump is deporting legal US residents to a foreign gulag, and he has stated publicly that he is moving on to citizens next. This is a Constitutional crisis. Will a single Republican stand up for our Constitution?

“American government, American foreign policy, and American trade policy are slowly being transformed, not to benefit Americans but to benefit the president, his family, and his friends.” www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Trump to Bukele on Salvadoran concentration camps: “Home-growns are next. You’re going to have to build about five more places.”

NEW from me: Amid increasing reports that U.S. citizens have been caught up in the Trump administration’s immigration dragnet, a dozen members of Congress have written to the government with pointed questions. None has received a reply. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Note to fellow journos: If only one "economist" agrees w Trump tariffs—as evidenced by fact that this particular "economist" is now being interviewed and cited everywhere as only "expert" willing to publicly defend them—consider confirming that he's actually an "economist." Check CVs, for example.

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

Trump just denied North Carolina’s request for FEMA relief from Hurricane Helene, calling it “unwarranted.”

“Not Just Measles”: Whooping Cough Cases Are Soaring as Vaccine Rates Decline www.propublica.org/article/whoo...

The🌎economy is in a crisis, & yet the dollar is falling. Investors are turning up their noses at US debt, instead snapping up gold & German bunds as "safe assets" The Trump admin's policies are, to borrow from Bob Gilpin, tarnishing the "prestige" of the US economy & the 💵🧵1/

"A Wall Street Journal analysis of daily financial statements issued by the Treasury Department found government spending since the [Trump] inauguration is $154 billion more than in the same period in 2024 during the administration of former President Joe Biden."

HAPPENING NOW 📈 EURO AND YEN SURGING ⚠️ US DOLLAR FALLING ⚠️ STOCK FUTURES CRASHING ⚠️ BOND MARKETS IMPLODING ⚠️ 10YR TREASURY YIELD SOARING

Dell stock lost "more than half its value" before Greene bought. Now, it is up 9 percent from those lows.

Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

In Nazi Germany, the targeted population was encouraged to self-deport and the state sought to impoverish them to force them to leave.

The US Economic Policy Uncertainty Index just hit such a historic high under Trump that it’s literally exploding off the chart.

VIX basically at its 4th highest level ever right now. Things are breaking.

🚨Every word of this from AOC. "If people are pissed about insider trading here at the House, look at what's happening at the White House.” (🎥 NY1)

If you don't follow this stuff: The WH pool ensures that there is always a reporter covering the president and filing concise, factual information on what he's saying and doing. This chips away at that. I hope someone (WHCA?) is holding onto the reports and can pub them elsewhere.

Elizabeth Warren calls for an independent investigation into whether Trump engaged in market manipulation today when he declared it was “a great time” to buy stocks — hours before unexpectedly walking back his global tariffs, sending markets shooting back up. www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

You lost your 401k... and did Trump make money doing it? He posted "THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!!" just hours before pausing the tariffs. It's time for everyone to ask House Republicans why they aren't fighting for an investigation into this.

JFC. WE ARE STILL WORSE OFF. We still have *at least* 10% global tariffs. Businesses can’t make decisions, as they don’t know what tariffs will be 90 days from now I usually say Trump is great at repackaging the status quo as victory but this is significantly worse than pre-Liberation Day status quo

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

Here’s a bunch of times over the past few days that Trump and his team told us they absolutely, positively weren’t going to pause their tariffs. Total climbdown.

Exclusive: The dirtiest coal-fired power plant in the US and dozens of others are being exempted from stringent air pollution mandates as part of US President Donald Trump’s bid to revitalize the industry

Fox Business Sr. correspondent: "I want to tell you Donald Trump outsmarted the world, but that's not really what happened here" "Make no mistake about it you cannot divorce this decision from what happened last night. ... Those markets were imploding last night, and that's why we have a freeze"

The republicans if they don’t act they will be stained throughout history as cowards. The absurdity of the actions and the governmental malpractices thereto will be long remembered. Irresponsible and traitorous.

LIVE: Fox presenters’ souls leave their body as they’re forced to finally tell the truth about tariffs. Here, the story a small business making products for kids with special needs. Its tariff bill has gone from $26,000 to $346,000. Fatal. A fate Fox deserves for months of tariff disinformation.

You know you’re in trouble when the Attorney General of the United States utters a phrase like ‘save room in our prisons…’ MAGA is keeping space for those they can’t deport. Trump HATES Black Americans, called them ‘n-word’ regularly and refused to advance them on ‘Apprentice’.

Why is this civilian holding a weapon? Was she part of the tactical team? Has she been training with LEOs? Are they bringing her into a hostile environment as support? Or are "responsible gun owners" now into using firearms as props, like drunk Instagrammers with top hats and feather boas?

“It took 75 days of Donald Trump’s second presidency for voters to hit the streets en masse. Millions of people showed up this weekend for more than 1,200 anti-Trump demonstrations—all of them peaceful—throughout all 50 states, from Alaska to Alabama to Arizona.” www.vanityfair.com/news/story/t...

Ackman endorsed Trump. Ackman voted for Trump. NOW he wants to complain?! thehill.com/homenews/adm...

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/...

This is going to end up being a historic stain on America. It is not ok. If u don’t care that innocent people r getting caught up in this, something is deeply wrong with u. Due process is imperative.

I really do think we’re well beyond this point. If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.

Pundits hate simplicity. If something is simple you don’t have to have pundit expertise to explain it. Trump Cabinet now has a public record as the stupidest Cabinet in history. This isn’t complicated. They are stupid rich people. Any analysis that doesn’t begin with their stupidity is stupid.

Swalwell: To Trump I say: Get your ass off the golf course and face the people

Reminds me that I made up a chant today for the rally: “Hey, hey, Donald J., how many balls did you shank today?”
