This headline needs to include the word “illegal”. As the article states, it is against the law for the president to order the IRS to target specific entities. Everyone is talking about how bad it is without talking about how it is 100% illegal www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/u...

Constituents to Chuck Grassley: "Are you bringing back that guy from El Salvador?" Senior Citizen: “If I get an order to pay a ticket to pay $1200 and I just say ‘no’, does that stand up? Because he just got an order from the Supreme Court and he just said ‘screw it’” “I’M PISSED!”

Elon Musk now admits his Department of Government Efficiency will produce only 15% of the savings it promised. But even that estimate is inflated with errors and guesswork. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/u...

I’ve taught 20 yrs of students Constitutional rights like due process & equal protection. Now, I’d be lying to them to say these laws, literally written into our Constitution, are followed. These basic rights prohibit shipping people off with no due process. All Americans should be outraged.

Love being in my late 50s and watching our retirement savings evaporate and our social security benefits stolen at the same time we are becoming unemployable for our age.

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.

When elected officials see mass protests and then immediately adjust their behavior in response, that is a good thing. That's how this should work! Celebrate Blumenthal for this. And then ask your own Dem senator what they're doing. And what Schumer is doing.

The amount of ignorance about US history you would have to possess to make a statement like this with a straight face is staggering. But it’s no surprise.

Worth remembering that the main guy behind the self-imposed destruction of global markets just got out of prison last July. And now he's decimating your retirement. www.cbsnews.com/news/peter-n...

The economy is crashing, people's retirement accounts are being incinerated, recession fears are mounting, and Trump is at a golf tournament. He could not give less of a shit about anyone other than himself.

If you were a halfway decent human being and you knew an innocent man was rotting in foreign prison—likely suffering nightmarish conditions—because your administration screwed up and send him there, you’d do something about it immediately instead of shitposting lies all day.
