Bash: 64% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of inflation, 65% disapprove of his handling of tariffs, 61% disapprove of his overall handling of the economy. On immigration, 53% disapprove as well

Despite all the good he did, Joe Biden was “too old” for folks. So now we’re stuck with “sleepy Don” — a corrupt bigot for a president. Nice work, America!

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

This happens in North Korea, Russia, and now it's happening here. MAGA is not American.

I feel like we need to keep saying this because it’s so insane: This is a legal U.S. resident who has been detained for over a month now for his political opinions.

Let’s keep this on the front burner, shall we? Oh, if only we had an SEC & DOJ to hold Trump, these billionaires & legislators accountable. Luckily, the NY AG can investigate these thieves of Wall Street. Go get them, AG James! #ResistanceUnited #ProudBlue #OneV1 #MomSky

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Elon Musk has cut somewhere between 0% and 3% of what he promised—and most of what was cut was not waste or fraud or abuse, but simply expenditures Mr. Musk did not personally favor for partisan reasons. DOGE is the biggest program failure in the history of American government.

DOGE IS HACKING THE US GOVERNMENT—building a ‘master database’ of our sensitive info from the IRS, Social Security, HHS & voter rolls. No oversight. No safeguards. Just a surveillance machine waiting to be weaponized. They claim it’s about “efficiency” and tracking immigrants. It’s about control.

Watch this WH video again—this time knowing her grandkids are suing because they haven’t seen a dime from the GoFundMe or four fundraisers held after their mom, Rachel Morin, was killed. Looks like a grift—and Trump’s team still used Patty Morin to smear an immigrant who had nothing to do with it.

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

Trump is breaking the law. How is that not in the headline?

Trump threatens to block all 10,000 international students from attending Harvard unless the school turns over student info they’ll use for new visa revocations and deportations. Every day feels like a fresh round of this country stabbing itself in the face. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/u...

Let me get this straight... Republican congressmen are allowed to take vanity tours in CECOT prison in El Salvador, but Senator Chris Van Hollen is denied entry to check on the welfare of his wrongly imprisoned constituent?

No low is too low for Trump administration.

NOTE: There are more people *in this frame of television* than there are transgender athletes in the State of Maine *All* of this is theater for stupid people

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”

ICE is just a gang of human traffickers run by the White House

Locating law abiding legal immigrants through their (checks notes) IRS records. The very same immigrants the Trump regime states (checks notes again) don’t pay taxes. Their false narratives are all over the place. But MAGA knows, voting for this specifically. These are DOJ weaponized hate crimes.

I cannot imagine why Elon Musk would be interested in downloading internal data at the National Labor Relations Board.

We are losing critical health data at an alarming rate due to RFKjr's HHS cut backs. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

El Salvador won’t return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Meanwhile, Trump is not only refusing to bring him back—he is lying about the Supreme Court ruling compelling him to do so.

I propose swapping the man mistakenly deported to El Salvador with the man mistakenly elected president of the United States

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Yea, so is the world rethinking the dollar. Per @pkrugman.bsky.social "However, even I didn’t expect him to destroy credibility accumulated over 80 years in less than three months. But he has." open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

It gets worse: The order found that the administration was covertly withholding millions in FEMA funds from blue states.

Every time RFK Jr fails – which is painfully often, especially this week – I'm reminded that Senate Republicans had an opportunity to protect Americans from Kennedy. And they failed spectacularly. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

The President’s unprecedented Executive Order yesterday targeting Messrs. Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor for nothing but the exercise of their First Amendment rights is the President’s most constitutionally corrupt Executive Order to date.

BREAKING: Trump moves troops to Panama. No vote. No justification. No legality. Just raw aggression. What they are doing in Panama is a violation of international law — and a disgrace.

BREAKING: Women may no longer be able to vote if their birth certificates don't match married names. You know in The Handmaid's Tale when Gilead suddenly eliminates women's bank accounts in one fell swoop? That's what Republicans in Congress are doing to women's voting rights.

The Supreme Court's confusing order explained: "If the government were acting in good faith here, this order would probably be fine. But the government has made clear that it is not." open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

No Doubt In My Mind! Criminal Behavior Continues…

The tell was that Trump posted it was a good time to buy this am. He needed a few days for friends and fam to get their money in place, bet they made a killing in all this chaos. Such manipulations used to be considered a crime in USA.

“Gratuitous Cruelty: The Supreme Court Just Unleashed Trump” In a cold-hearted decision, writes constitutional law professor @kimwehle.bsky.social for Zeteo, five conservative justices allowed the president to restart his deportation plan. Read/share/subscribe:

It seems that Trump wants a recession. Why? A recession will drive down the prices of real estate, companies, and shares of stock. Trump and his fellow billionaires want to buy up everything on the cheap and then enjoy the ride upward — no matter the cost to working people.

I hope everyone who is upset about "cancel culture" will find it similarly alarming that companies are too terrified of government retaliation to say anything critical about a policy that's seriously harming them. Seems maybe also bad?

Damn Trump! He’s taking everyone down with us!

75 percent.

Keep posting

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!
