I'm attending Indivisible's event, “Tesla Takedown--Tysons Corner” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

Powell got asked about whether a June rate cut was possible. Normally he’d say “every meeting is live.” This time? He changed the subject. That’s as clear as Fed-speak gets, and he's saying: Not happening.

Who’s gonna tell this clown the news?

More in No, Other People: New poll: “America would be better off if more people worked in manufacturing.” • 80% of Americans agree • 20% disagree “I would be better off if I worked in a factory.” • 25% of Americans agree • 73% disagree • 2% currently work in a factory

It really is so disgusting seeing all the photos coming out of Russia of Witkoff’s trip and meet with Putin. He is whitewashing a terrorist state that is committing genocide and just last week murdered Ukrainian children at a playground

While small businesses scramble, stocks plummet, and prices prepare to surge, Trump is taking national security advice from a 9/11 truther and going golfing.

Gen Z and Millennials: In ten years when we’re still without a cure and you’re caring for your parents, remember what he did.

There's no question that today's tariff announcement will give the United States the highest tariff rates of any industrialized country. And it's not even close.

Winner.

What a perfect day for Newsmax to ring the opening bell on the stock exchange.

BREAKING NEWS: Billionaire JB Pritzker BEATS Elon Musk. Two billionaires poured money into Wisconsin: Elon Musk spent $82 Million. JB Pritzker spent $500,000. Pritizker’s response? “Elon Musk is not good at this.”

If people hate Elon now what will they do when they find out he made it more likely they’ll die of cancer and never get their social security checks?

Our economy is far larger than it was decades ago. Where have most of the gains gone? To the top. Any path forward must include a fight to restructure the economy toward more widely shared prosperity. This isn’t a blue state vs. red state phenomenon. It’s a class phenomenon.

I don't want Canada or Greenland… I want PBS, Social Security, and The Smithsonian. CAN YOU SAY THE SAME?! 🤚

Does anyone know the unemployment rate for Veterans ? If 30 percent of the federal workforce is Vets, the number could get ugly quickly. Any data out there ?

This is a point that can’t be repeated enough right now.

Exactly

This entire cynical, arch, faux administration preys on a single quality: greed. It assumes people of every stripe of power, from senators to professors to lawyers, will fold for money, to hang on to it or avoid losing it. So far they're right.

Obviously, Jeffrey Goldberg has the texts that Hegseth claims that he doesn’t have. The Senate or House Armed Services Chairs can easily and quickly verify who is lying about this. If Hegseth blatant lied about this on camera tonight, how in the world can he continue in this job?

Columbia folds over government funding. Senators fold over fear of lost donations and expensive primary-ing. Lawyers fold over fees. Cure the money problem.

imagine explaining to someone in 2016 that Bill Kristol had united in a AOC/Bernie popular front against fascism

For folks who don’t know, ethnic studies programs like African American/Africana Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicano Studies and the like come directly from civil right era campus activism. Attempts to disempower such programs should be framed as attacks on civil rights same as much else rn.

Not to get all hyperbolic, but between Trump’s “l’etat c’est moi” and Bessent’s “let them eat cake,” it does feel kind of pre-French Revolution-y around here.

This is criminal behavior.

Over $1.75 trillion was wiped out from the US stock market today. Trump owns all of this.

So much winning:

Kill the bird. Save the world.
