No doubt that they've been doing insider trading through all of this.

No, Trump isn't cratering our economy. The entire Republican Party is cratering our economy. The enablers deserve just as much blame as Trump.

This.

They have the power to stop him… THEY CHOOSE TO LET HIM RULE WITHOUT RESTRICTIONS!!!

At this point you could convince me we all died during COVID and are now living in hell.

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

Let's get at least double this number on 4/19! 12.2 million to reach the 3.5 percent rule to topple autocracy. -- David Robson. 5/13/2019. “The '3.5% rule': How a small minority can change the world.” #savedemocracy

The White House admits they sent an innocent father of three to the prison in El Salvador but they are still fighting to make sure he doesn’t come home. The definition of evil.

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!

Enough internet. Time to cheer myself up by writing about how dark energy will eventually destroy the universe.

I hope Wall Street has figured out two things: 1. Trump is a disaster for the U.S. economy. 2. There is no price at which many of us would ever buy a Tesla. I wouldn't take it for free with a $5,000 rebate. I think they have an inkling of the first but are still in denial about the second.

The most infuriating part of this is that he didn’t even hide that he’d do this. He screamed it every chance he got. For years. And people… they just voted for it.

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points. And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

If there's just God, Tom Homan and Kristi Noem are going to the Hague.

Pam Bondi has just announced charges against the alleged Tesla firebomber. "We are seeking 20 YEARS IN PRISON." — we’re cool with pardoning J6 defendants. AG Pam Bondi seeks death penalty for Luigi Mangione — school shootings are cool. And, No, I’m not ok with firebombing Teslas or murder

Thank you Greenland!! 🇬🇱 Your kind door slam was a beautiful sight to behold!! 😍 #MomSky

When people say, "If we're not careful, America will fall into fascism," I respond: "Too late."

Government abductions are unconstitutional. Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional. If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute… They’ll get to you soon enough.

So let’s be clear: in the United States today you can be grabbed in the middle of the street by masked unidentified men and bundled into a van and taken away to God knows where, all because you wrote something that upset the government. That is the United States of America in March 2025.

If someone is not absolutely horrified by the deportations without due process to the El Salvador prison and ready to do what they can to resist the activity, they are at best a MAGA sympathizer and will be treated by history as MAGA. El Salvador is the beginning of our holocaust.

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

Hey guys remember the Hillary Clinton email server? Seems kinda, small today, doesn’t it?

Hey, Politico -- I consider myself to have "long-term standing in the private legal community" and I have been willing to speak out almost every single day. And, I'm not alone. Yes, there is widespread cowardice among law firms, but don't ignore those refusing to bow down. Defiantly, Marc Elias

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you? My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

“President Trump’s goal is clear. He wants lawyers and law firms to capitulate and cower until there is no one left to oppose his administration in court,” Mr. Elias said. “There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf.”

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but “I was only following orders” was rejected as a defense at the Nuremberg Trials.

psssst unions are so scary they took down our website with worker organizing resources sure would be a shame if we all shared this

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

the people who told you to calm down about Roe are the same people telling you to calm down about Social Security, in case you hadn't noticed

Dear World, I apologize. We have a Russian asset in the White House. Trump stands with Putin. He doesn’t stand with Ukraine, NATO or the free world. Many, many, many of us Americans apologize profusely for this. Sincerely, A Ukraine-Supporting, NATO-Supporting American

Fact: They didn’t fear what breaking the Dept of Education would do to their kids. Their kids are in fancy private schools. They are dismantling the Dept of Ed so our kids have no choice but to be undereducated and work for their kids.

This is disgraceful and un-American. The Trump administration defended its removal of articles highlighting the achievements of minority service members, including Navajo code talkers, Marines at Iwo Jima, and famed Black baseball player Jackie Robinson.

If the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with what the gov't is arguing today, that the President has broad Article II powers that would permit it to deport people & there can be no judicial review, then literally no one is safe.

You don’t know who we just disappeared to El Salvador. Think about that.

So who decides now if someone is a gang member or if someone has a valid asylum claim under the law? Tom Homan? A random ICE agent? A local Sheriff’s deputy? A neighbor? An informant? So they just say a person is in a gang and they get disappeared to a prison in El Salvador?

I am tracking 3 separate cases where the government is violating court orders. The question now is whether judges find willfulness and hold officials in contempt.

Horrifying.

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

Come on down to the White House Tesla Auto Mall!
