Reuters poll: Trump approval 37% approve 57% disapprove U.S. adults

OUT: Free market conservatism IN: Trump owns America and sets the prices

First thing I'm aligned with

BREAKING: Trump announces he would sign a ban on Congressional stock trading.

Look at this. Representative George Whitesides sold millions in stocks on 03/24/2025, before Trump's tariff announcements. The market hit a year-to-date low after. Unusual.

Let's wake up. He's REALLY unpopular for this early in a term or really ever. President's this unpopular are already losing. Power becomes harder to assert when your power is fading.

NEW: The total loss of NOAA’s office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research —a nerve center of global climate science, data collection and modeling — represents a setback for climate preparedness that experts warn the nation may never recover from. By @abrahm.bsky.social

Trump was never serious about a real negotiation to end Russia’s war in Ukraine. Now Vance says they’ll “walk away” if Ukraine doesn’t accept terms that serve Moscow’s interests. Bullying is not negotiating. Nor is pretending to be a negotiator when you’re just there to serve Putin. Appalling.

Remember when Trump and MAGA influencers falsely claimed the Biden Administration was doing nothing during Hurricane Helene and other storms, despite FEMA providing hundreds of millions in aid? Remember their lies about FEMA funds being diverted, which sowed distrust in recovery efforts? 1/

Bookmarked for the inevitable surrender.

💥 BREAKING: Goldman Sachs shareholders voted today to reject two anti-DEI proposals, both by 98-2 percent. GS Board urged shareholders to vote to reject proposals. "We believe that diversity, including diversity of thought, experience and perspectives, is important to our commercial success."

Solid.

They are deadly serious about this. They are planning to throw millions of people off their insurance in order to afford a trillion dollar tax cut for the wealthiest 1%.

Robert Wolf on Fox News: "I've been in finance for 40 years. This is probably the biggest manufactured crisis I've seen with a bunch of unforced errors. The execution of 'liberation day' was pathetic."

Inquiring now and again, who is the leader of the @democrats.org ? Sorry, not sorry, it's not @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social nor @schumer.senate.gov Don't wait for 2026. #Democrats

Oh look, Ron DeSantis is totally not corrupt — he just sent $10 MILLION in taxpayer money to his wife’s “charity,” which then “magically” funneled $8.5 MILLION to a PAC backing his crony. Nothing to see here, folks. Just good ol’ wholesome Florida family values. 🙃 #DeSantisScandal

Today is Day 11. Still no deals.

"The FDA is suspending a quality control program for testing milk and other dairy products due to reduced capacity in its food safety and nutrition division... Another disruption to food safety programs after the termination and departure of 20,000 HHS employees..." www.reuters.com/business/hea...

The NSF has stopped funding research into disinformation, a disinformation researcher highlighted why this is such a bad idea: “We know false information is out there, we know it spreads widely, and it’s important for people’s health and for democracy to understand what we can do about it.”

As bad as Tesla’s earnings report was, it includes *hundreds of millions of dollars* of regulated rebates. Without those, the company would have reported a LOSS. Remember that next time Elon rails against government regulations.

@cnbc.com talking about #TSLA valuation based on a robotaxi future. Ridiculous and stop making excuses. Waymo is already doing 150,000 rides / week. Actual results that matter.

Quote on @cnbc.com this morning - "We are off to the worst April since the Great Depression." #MAGA

Starmer is against restoring Freedom of Movement. Please repost if you want our Freedom of Movement restored. We were robbed of our right to live, work, study, and love in 30 countries by the worst abuses of democracy in modern British history.

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen. She has been on a govt salary for years. Something aint right

This

*Of course* advance information on US combat operations is classified. Pretending otherwise is an insult to our troops, who all know this. The Secretary is unfit to lead.

@governor.ca.gov has this totally wrong. This is a stand for due process. It's not a mere distraction, it's a red line.

@cnn.com @msnbc.com @foxnews.com.web.brid.gy @nbcnews.com @meidastouch.com @vox.com @wired.com - please ask what's being done about the Aryan Brotherhood of #Texas, who significantly out numbers MS-13. What is this administration's plan here?

The funniest thing about this is there’s an entire universe of consultants and Dem leaning pundits that basically lose their minds if you so much as mention this, let alone if you attempt to address it in some kind of systematic way.

Today is Day 9. 0 deals.

Where are all the Fortune 500 CEOs? Silence. #tariffs #tradewar

Venkatraman Ramakrishnan, the structural biologist who has devoted his life to studying the processes behind aging, discusses the surprising things he has learned and the public misunderstandings about longevity.

Realize, the kind of #medical and scientific #research our government funds is they type that private industry won't. This is part of #American exceptionalism that we are allowing to erode away. Consequences for generations.

To Fortune 500 CEOs: #Leadership = Doing the right thing when it's hard. Y'all are failing.

BREAKING 🚨: Federal Reserve The Federal Reserve has now lost a combined $192 Billion over the last 2 years 👀 Probably Fine
