Revealing just how selectively this administration respects national sovereignty. With Canada and Greenland, Trump threatens invasion enthusiastically. With El Salvador, Trump sees sovereignty as sacrosanct.

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

What a terrible day to have eyes and ears

Former Canadian Conservative leader Andrew Scheer, everyone! Strong contender to be Canada’s answer to the “call a crackhead” clip

If you are actively culling your library to keep books like "The Bell Curve" while removing criticisms of the book, you are building a white supremacist library.

“Trump administration overrode Social Security staff to list immigrants as dead” A senior exec who objected was “marched out of his office” and put on leave. @WashingtonPost.com scoops wapo.st/3RKSQQt

"People will write books about April 2025 the way they have about July 1944, August 1971 or September 2008." www.axios.com/2025/04/11/t...

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

The thing about this guy is that he’s a total product of right-wing affirmative action and you literally would never have heard of him if he was a liberal.

Elon Musk, before the election: I'll cut $2 trillion Elon Musk, during the transition: I'll cut $1 trillion Elon Musk, now: We're "anticipating" cuts of $150 billion. Elon Musk, soon: Who said anything about cuts? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Been talking to international investors all week. They are questioning the basic competency of US policymakers in a way I have never heard before. Yes the Fed etc makes mistakes, but we have never seen such pure recklessness

They are obviously slow learners

Federal spending is *up* under Trump according to the Wall Street Journal. Chaos is not actually the same as cost savings. Actual budgeting is a kind of actual policy-making and takes real work spread over real time. Running around breaking stuff isn't that. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink resigns Earlier, Zelensky expressed disapproval that Bridget Brink did not mention a Russian missile as the cause of the deaths of children in Kryvyi Rih. Later, she wrote a post acknowledging Russia's involvement in the tragedy.

Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

🇺🇸U.S. 30-YEAR TREASURY YIELDS RISE TO 4.95%, BIGGEST WEEKLY INCREASE SINCE 1982.

With Yoon removed from office today, by my count that makes 34 democratic leaders convicted since 2010. Only one—Trump—faced no real consequences. Trump's actions weren't uncommon. What was exceptional was how our institutions failed to hold him accountable.

Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.

I am but a humble cable news host with a bachelor’s in philosophy, but I feel like at some point the bond market is also going to notice that the GOP is going to pass a deficit financed 5 trillion dollar tax cut. Maybe?

this is the guy who told you not to freak out about tariffs. the Onion model for "Coworker Looks Like He's Going To Do It Today"

Law firms if you make a deal with this man keep in mind that you’re also signing up for him to publicly humiliate you like this every few days

The US Economic Policy Uncertainty Index just hit such a historic high under Trump that it’s literally exploding off the chart.

Trump on the cause of autism: "Maybe it's a shot."

"I'm a rich guy likes to buy access to public officials, and its a lot easier to do that with the Trump administration" is a compelling message.

According to a source, when Musk privately messages associates and confidants about reports from federal staffers about how their lives have been wrecked, the Tesla CEO is known to react with laugh-crying emojis. Story: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

NEW: Sen Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) requests "an accounting of which White House or Trump administration officials were part of the deliberations on the change in policy or announcement, and whether those individuals made stock transactions or communicated with financial proxies ahead of the announcement"

White House officials appear to be withholding pool reporters' dispatches that contain information the Trump administration finds inconvenient or unflattering (Oliver Darcy/Status) Main Link | Mediagazer Permalink

This is a 12 alarm fire for the economy. If being friends with the president and giving him kickbacks makes you exempt from large import taxes Vs your competitors, it will stratify the whole economy and push corruption and loyalty and political controls deep into the private sector

Scoop: The White House is choosing to censor some White House pool reports. Details in @status.news: www.status.news/p/white-hous...

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

Imagine laws, but for rich people.

The 10% tariff alone is a $2500 per household annual tax hike!

First JPMorgan, now MetLife keeps its 60% recession call — titling today’s note “Damaged Goods”: “Even if there is a near-term resolution of the tariff and other trade issues, damage has been done to the economy and to consumer expectations.”

Trump claims it’s proven that the 2020 election was rigged, citing the fact that law firms are giving him money

We found the voter fraud!!!!!
