There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

🚨Georgetown University Law Center students are detailing which law firms have caved and which have stood up to the Trump regime. They have created this spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets... Please share widely.

Russia - along with North Korea, Belarus and Cuba (you read that right!) - is a rare exception to Trump’s tariffs. Remember: Trump removed U.S. Intel sharing with Ukraine to force it to accept a ceasefire, which it has. Trump has yet to impose costs on Moscow, which continues to defy any ceasefire.

I was thinking that none of those numbers made sense, but holy fuck this is insane

Smart business man 🤦‍♀️

The bodies of eight Red Crescent medics and other Palestinian rescue workers who came under fire more than a week ago have been recovered from a grave in the sand in the south of the Gaza Strip, UN officials said reut.rs/41TTbGD

Imagine any other world leader saying this about another country.

Marco Rubio came to Jamaica thinking he could smear Cuban doctors who provide free, life-saving care across the Caribbean. Instead, the Jamaican Prime Minister shut him down hard, reminding Rubio he doesn’t speak for Jamaica. Rubio came to lecture, left humiliated. GOOD ! Dumb Ass ! B Allen

Goldberg: "Hegseth is promising that US warplanes are taking off in 30 minutes to bomb enemy targets that we know are protected by anti-aircraft batteries. If that's not the most sensitive information, the most secret info in the world, I simply don't know what the meaning of 'classified' is."

😡

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment. Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

In North Korea and Ruzzia you can NOT ignore president’s desires, NOW IN US TOO! What did US become? Already a dictatorship ?

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Nice. I see what ya did there. Welcome to the resistance @merriam-webster.com

Marines learn on Day 1 to never wear their cover inside and damn sure never to eat with it on. Maybe Corporal Correspondent went to a different boot camp than I did.

Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121

Pilot to Hegseth: "You’re going to kill somebody.” For the safety of our troops, Hegseth has got to go.

Trust experts again youtu.be/qKAdujuHvuQ?...

Reminder: the First Amendment protects everyone who resides in our country. It doesn't matter if you have a green card or a visa or if you're undocumented. The Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that any person residing in the United States, regardless of status, is entitled to 1A protections.

What the actual fuck:

Good question. Why DOES Pete Hegseth have a Russian phone number? 🤨

SCOOP: A WIRED review of public data shows that national security adviser Mike Waltz, White House chief of staff Susie Wiles, and other top officials left sensitive information exposed via Venmo—until WIRED asked about it.

This is hilarious. #Greenland

From Fox’s Chief National Security reporter. Who can’t seem to get any airtime lately. For some reason.

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

The founder of Signal releases a response to SignalGate: “There are so many great reasons to be on Signal. Now including the opportunity for the vice president of the United States of America to randomly add you to a group chat for coordination of sensitive military operations.”

It's astonishing to see the number of deluded trump cultists twisting themselves into pretzels to justify or rationalize the titanic Signal security clusterfuck created by people whose job is to PREVENT that from happening. Democrat, Republican, or Independent, you should want America to be SAFE.

Why is Russia bombing schools and apartment buildings, and why are Trump, Vance, Rubio, Witkoff silent about it?

Excellent! Feel free to print this out & hang it everywhere, share with friends, family, & loved ones. 💘

Republican Sen. John Curtis said today on NBC News’ “Meet the Press” that politicians are “not being honest” when they say they won’t touch Social Security.

If you have some retirement savings you can call and ask them to take you out of Tesla stock. Why should you be financing an autocratic takeover of your government?

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of protesters have gathered in downtown Chicago against Donald Trump's planned takeover of the USPS

This isn't DEI. It's a representation of all people in America. Denying it denies we are a multicultural country. That gets this has qualified women and POC.

Psst… take 12 seconds away from doom scrolling, to take a deep breath and relax with these sweet otters 🦦 🔊 🎥Nature

Nothing to see here—just a sitting U.S. president pumping his shitcoin, after countless Americans have already lost billions investing in it. The most corrupt president in history, by far
