Any Questions?! 👇

US consumer sentiment fell to its second-lowest level on records going back to 1952. Worse than at any time during the Great Recession. www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/e...

Here’s an idea for Passover, the Freedom Holiday: When El Salvador’s President Bukele enters the White House Monday April 14 for an “official working visit,” he should BRING MR. GARCIA WITH HIM, HOPEFULLY ALIVE, AND RETURN THE RANSOM HE COLLECTED FOR ENSLAVING THAT LAWLESSLY SEIZED INNOCENT MAN.

Alina Habba has launched a criminal probe into New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy over "ICE obstruction." Immigration control is the responsibility of the federal government. States can’t be compelled to assist ICE under the 10th Amendment. It's amazing this failed lawyer passed the bar exam.

Act like an emerging market trade like an emerging market

It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime. Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed. I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.

I lost my climate job last Friday. Had a new job offer by Tuesday. Their funding was cut Thursday. This is not a cycle I want to be stuck in.

“Facebook's former director of global public policy told a Senate committee that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was willing to do almost anything to get the social network into China - including, she alleged, offering up Americans' data.” www.theregister.com/2025/04/11/m...

In recent weeks, the number of people travelling from Europe to the U.S has plummeted — by as much as 35%. The sharp decline in tourism is a direct response to Trump’s punishing policies — including tariffs and the horrific treatment of immigrants and foreigners.

Murphy: When you see the 10-year bond exploding… when you see markets moving like a sine curve—that’s the opposite of stability. A strong dollar is in our national interest. What we’re seeing now is the opposite of that.

EXCUSE ME? IF THIS ISN”T THE ULTIMATE CORRUPTION I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS!!! Not only is DOGE slashing administration staff, it’s requiring that ALL COMMUNICATIONS go through X. Call NOW & scream bloody murder about this! (202)334-3121 www.wired.com/story/social... H/T @joycewhitevance.bsky.social

Oh this is VERY worrying

BREAKING: An immigration court determined our client Mahmoud Khalil to be removable from the U.S. based solely on his political speech. The fight isn't over — we'll keep fighting for Mahmoud's freedom and all of our First Amendment rights in federal court.

Garcia: She's playing cosplaying as an ice agent, running around the country, going down to El Salvador, to prisons. You know, holding guns, dressing up. She is a joke

Huge thx as ever to @annabower.bsky.social for the play by play. While we await DCt next order, 2 notes: (1) DOJ lawyer says on record the govt intends to comply w/the order; (2) DCt sees Admin is gaming DOJ, so instructs DOJ to tell "client" that failure to produce evidence will soon = no evidence.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

I GREATLY recommend everyone read about how trump has caused investors from around the world to lose confidence in US markets, US bonds and US dollar. I can’t emphasize enough how dangerous of an economic scenario Trump has caused. This is way beyond stocks dropping. This will impact all of us badly

A senior Social Security official was dragged out of the SSA building by security thugs for refusing to go along with a Trump-Musk scheme to falsely list immigrants as dead—just to stop them from working. It’s illegal, it’s monstrous, and they’re doing it anyway. This is openly blatant fascism.

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

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

Some good news from the other side of the pond…👇 Right then. 😎✨

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

Earlier this year, employees began to fear bad actors, could target people for punishment by declaring them dead: “Anybody granted the appropriate permissions within Social Security could mark someone as dead, employees had realized, without having to prove their demise in any way” wapo.st/3RKSQQt

Trump pitched a week for workers—hard hats, factories, Main Street. It ended with Charles Schwab at the White House and Trump bragging Schwab made $2.5B off the markets he manipulated. Insider trading sold as protectionism.

Check out this video of trump introducing Charles Schwab. If you listen carefully, trump says that he made $2.5B while the guy next to him made $900M. This was posted by Margot Martin, special assistant to trump. The tariff stunt was, at least partially, market manipulation.

BREAKING: President Trump brags Charles Schwab made $2.5 billion in alleged market manipulation & insider trading scheme following tariff reversals. "He made almost $3 billion during the crash. He took my advice and bought at the perfect time."

Tariff everyone but Russia? Insider trading tweets? Market manipulation for his rich buddies to get richer off of the backs of smaller investors and their retirements? Cut crypto oversight? The WH and their base are a bunch of crooks.

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc. But it won't be DOJ. It won't be the SEC. It won't be Congress. You know who CAN investigate this? NY AG Letitia James - who has jurisdiction over Wall St.

Flaunting their insider trading – but Trump nor anyone in his circle will be arrested. Welcome to dystopia.

What happened today reeks of insider trading. Trump’s tweet wasn’t random—it was a signal. Someone cashed in, and the public deserves to know who and how much. Follow. The. Money. “This entire White House is one giant grift.” —Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social shining a spotlight on it! 🔥

Proudly bragging about their profits from insider trading market manipulation.

Donald Trump in a nutshell: doing everything he can to make the ultra-rich even richer. We need to find out if Trump's tariff chaos was used as cover for insider trading.

INSIDER TRADING?

MAJOR BREAKING: Senator Elizabeth Warren just told Call to Activism exclusively that she’s calling for a formal investigation into “insider trading” among Trump’s friends: "Did Trump or those with inside knowledge help wealthy investors cash in on his tariff flip-flopping?"

Here's the proof that somebody was trading big-time on insider information this week:

Peter Navarro is begging CNN for "kudos." For what? Needlessly tanking the economy with ridiculous tariffs? Flip flopping on those tariffs? Pumping the market and insider trading before yet another stock market selloff? This guy is a joke.

BREAKING: I’m demanding answers from the White House and Office of Government Ethics about whether anyone in the Trump family or administration profited off of this tariff chaos through insider trading.

2 words: Insider Trading.

Schiff Seeks Investigation into Tariff Pause Amid Insider Trading Concerns

Make Insider Trading Great Again!

💥 "90 day delay except China" was leaked 1 day before the actual announcement. This is the biggest insider trading scheme in history.

The President of the United States engaged in insider trading, and laughed about it. He is not exempt from the law. Where the fuck is Congress?
