Per a source, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, who has required that he approve all contracts over certain thresholds personally, has over 5000 review requests on his desk. Apparently he approves around 15/day.

What a tired, sad senile looking old man.

I was honored to be a co-chair of Bernie Sanders’ campaign. Because for me, his campaign has always been about a better way—America’s promise. And today, seeing the thousands gathered here—and the thousands more rising up across cities and towns— I’ve never been more hopeful.

Wow! They’re estimating that 32,000 people are at the AOC and Bernie Sanders Fighting Oligarchy rally in Los Angeles! Incredible!

Mortgage refinance rejections hit a record high, with nearly 45% of applications denied, per the New York Fed. The spike reflects rising interest rates and stricter credit standards, leaving more homeowners locked out of potential relief.

Yes... the world is watching this nightmare while we live it...

Donald Trump was recorded in the Oval Office happily bragging about how much money his billionaire buddies made off of his shady scheme involving tariff maneuvers. He made $2.5 billion today, and he made $900 million! That’s not bad,” Trump said, pointing to…

Too many members of Congress keep letting us down. This is about more than opposing Trump’s bad nominees — it’s about treating this administration like the authoritarian threat it is and using every inch of power to fight back: indivisible.org/campaign/tru...

REPOST It's only us. There is no cavalry. The next protest is Saturday, April 19th in ALL 50 States! www.fiftyfifty.one Please repost this and all protest notice posts. There's no one to save us. Studies claim that protests work: protests are covered in the media & they influence the media & public.

Invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 suspends Habeas Corpus. Anyone can be detained indefinitely with no due process.

It's exactly what it looks like. Permanent martial law with a suspension of Habeas Corpus. Full blown dictatorship with all rights suspended. The US is on a path so evil that previous incarnations of human brutality look quaint in comparison.

As with the EOs concerning elections, immigration and naturalization is categorically NOT an Article II power. To do this, the executive branch will undoubtedly try to hang its hat on some delegated authority by Congress. The focus now should be on clawing those delegated authorities back

Preparing for the future. Trump and the Nazi Republicans need a large pool of unemployed and impoverished white people to staff the concentration, slave labour and death camps. Additionally the planned invasions and occupation of Canada Mexico Greenland and Panama will require a lot of man power.

Contemporary shower fixtures are only one of the items that rankle the president. He has frequently denounced toilets that he claims require flushing “ten or 15 times” and LED lightbulbs, which he faults for making him look orange. By @peterelkind.bsky.social

The damage is far worse than anyone realized. Listen to Stiglitz. youtu.be/Ixm0tXIsxPs?...

Donald Trump, an ignorant buffoon with no impulse control, thinking he is going to outplay and outsmart China is just one of his many, many delusions.

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

Here we go. Knew it was coming soon. "Christianity" will soon be the official national religion and only "Christian" white males will be allowed to be citizens. Everyone else will have no rights.
