Does anyone remember Signalgate?

Following Israel's massacre of 15 humanitarian workers in Gaza -- what else can we call it? -- the UN humanitarian agencies have issued a joint statement condemning the "utter disregard for human life" in Gaza. Sadly, Netanyahu also has utter disregard for the UN.

The Senate is about to go on a multi-week recess with the markets plunging by the most since COVID.

Over $10 trillion.

🚨CALL YOUR SENATORS Vote NO on the SAVE Act BILL CREATES BARRIERS TO VOTE FOR: *Women *Trans People *The Poor *Rural Communities "Under the SAVE Act, anyone who has changed their name after birth will face increased barriers to voting." #MomSky #HandsOffHerVote nwlc.org/how-the-save...

Any guess why Trump seems so responsive to Laura Loomer and why his staff seems so extremely focused on keeping them apart and yet seems again and again unable to do so?

The only people worse than Trump are his lackeys and apologists.

Social Security is the new Space X rocket

"the global economy is being held hostage by the whims of just one man, which is not usually how we like democracies or economies to work."

"After the last soldier was found, the Lithuanian government planned a procession for the soldiers’ departure on Thursday, with schools closing early and thousands lining the streets of Vilnius." That's behaving like an ally.

Two nauseating world leaders in one image.

I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

Today, Trump’s 10% tariffs go into effect which serve only to raise costs for the American people. Here’s a statement the White House released today: “The President won his second round matchup of the Senior Club Championship today in Jupiter, FL, and advances to the Championship Round tomorrow.”

Justice Riggs won her election for the NC Supreme Court. Republicans are trying to steal it.

I’m a big man who rides the subway every night because I’m not a terrified hysterical neurotic

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”. He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”. The job was helping people with disabilities.

But I am, we told you so.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse. 2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report." 3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes." This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Also I hope we're all on this same page EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole they were ALL wrongfully deported. I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan' but NO ONE should've been sent there

Omg this is so stupid I can’t believe how stupid this is

Howard Lutnick on CNN slamming people who buy Toyota's because it doesn't add to GDP. Toyota has 11 factories in the US and produces 12 models. 39,000 American workers. He knows this, but he chooses to lie.

Senator Ron Wyden on Dr. Oz: "If confirmed, the person running the Medicare program thinks it's acceptable to not pay the taxes he owes into the program he's running." Dr. Oz is unfit.

The 5 largest single day $DJIA drops and their corresponding President. There seems to be a pattern here but I can’t quite figure it out.

THEY PAID PEOPLE TO VOTE, AND THEY STILL LOST IN WISCONSIN! 😂 Tell me again, how 2024 wasn’t rigged?! I’ll wait…

MSNBC just showed a montage of world leaders calling the USA idiotic, illogical, hostile, unhinged.... literally never seen anything like this. From the shining city on a hill to an object of global derision and contempt.

Senator Angus King: "I have to point out, Mr. Chairman, in the hour that we've been sitting here, investors in the United States stock market have lost two and a half trillion dollars."

What Cory Booker did was create a potential pivot point. Through his courage and determination he has inspired and energised people. @schumer.senate.gov you need to recognise this and do the right thing. Have the courage to see this moment as one to hand the baton over.

The absolute callousness of announcing a 44% trade tariff against Myanmar this week, of all weeks.

Measles and tariffs, what century is this?

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Disgusting….RFK Jr. fired the entire staff of the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)….cruelty is the point and always has been t.co/DDrag1YQoV

“Grandpa, what did you do on Liberation Day?” “I bought duct tape so I could reattach the front bumper of my car because I sure as hell wasn’t going to go out shopping for a new one.”

Walz: "My beef on this is that this guy is out there crying about his portfolio, and my mom's Social Security check this month is late. That he's attacking the portfolios of working Minnesotans and working Americans who have paid into these programs that he calls a Ponzi scheme."

It never had to be this way. We had an opportunity to vote for Kamala Harris an intelligent and worthy leader who understood this stuff and wanted good things for our country but folks voted for an ignorant and evil orange monster instead. 💔 #Tariffs #JoyfulWarriors

Was explaining to David (11) the tariff stuff and what a tariff is and he was like “you mean like what started the revolutionary war?” And I was like; yes exactly.

I wonder how many people realize the tariff on auto parts causes car insurance premiums to go up?

The US once led the world in attracting global talent—students, artists, scientists. Now they are fleeing to places like Canada. Thanks to Trump, the US is not only losing brilliant individuals but its economic and social future. A brain drain is coming and it will hurt the US for generations.🧵

IMO this isn't getting enough attention. www.youtube.com/watch?v=RA1b...

How is Fox News gonna spin this for Dear Leader? Poverty is actually good now? Never being able to retire is good?

love how everybody's like "why would a Russian asset crash the US economy?"

Dark Pence is back.

Americans will destroy themselves with an unnecessary trade war and a potential depression because they can't stand seeing people of color and women moving up a bit and getting a small piece of the pie. Same as it ever was.

Time for the annual Swapping of the Tech Bros.

Officers recorded over 25,000 stops last year, a 50 percent increase over the previous year. Nine in ten people stopped by the NYPD last year were Black or Latino. --New from @nysfocus.bsky.social nysfocus.com/2025/04/02/n...
