Can’t believe I blagged an exclusive interview with Katy Perry!

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

I’m a mechanic, marine, and sports radio host, raised in a trailer park in Mason City, Iowa. I'm fighting for a Democratic Party that people like me actually want to be a part of. I'm Nathan Sage. I'm running for US Senate. And I'm going to kick Joni Ernst's ass next November.

"And now we bring you a Fox News exclusive interview with President Trump ..."

Thin-skinned Trump now targets Susman Godfrey, the law firm that represented Dominion Voting against Fox News. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

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

Every damned word of this 4-graf brief, except ā€œBy WSJ Staff,ā€ should scare the bejeesus out of you this morning. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Attn: Trump stated, ā€œTHIS IS A GREAT TIME TO GET RICH, RICHER THAN EVER BEFORE!!!ā€ Many have interpreted this as an indication that he or his allies are using knowledge of tariffs for personal financial gain. This raises serious concerns about insider trading and market manipulation.

NEW: The Supreme Court took 6 months to decide immunity, but just 6 days to effectively strip the rest of us of due process. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-corrup...

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.

Just a legal historian here reminding everyone that ā€œhigh crimes and misdemeanorsā€ do not need to be felonies. They can include political abuses and stupidity, like, hypothetically, destroying the economy and wiping out people’s savings in 3 days.

Over 1000 people showed up in super red Bismarck ND. People were lined up along Boulevard Avenue in front of the capital. For every middle finger we got, 20 cars were honking. #handsoff

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

How capitalism actually works: American product: $10 Chinese knockoff: $9 <Trump tariffs> Chinese knockoff now: $15 American product now also $15 for some reason.

On April 2nd, 4 US Army Soldiers died in a training accident in Lithuania. šŸ•Šļø The Lithuania Govt. showed more respect than our own govt Staff Sgt. Knutson-Collins, 28, Michigan Sgt. Duenez Jr., 25, Illinois Sgt. Franco, 25, California. Pfc. Taitano, 21, Guam. Much Respect šŸ™šŸ» šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø #SheShed

@schumer.senate.gov So glad the government was kept open so the world’s economy could be crushed.

Who did this?

BOLDUAN: The foreign minister of Norway says the tariffs could violate an article of the NATO treaty that orders members to promote economic stability. If this is a breach of the NATO treaty, will the president reassess his approach? LEAVITT: No

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.

ATTN FEDERAL WORKERS: It has come to my attention that several agencies are now offering WiFi for you to use with your PERSONAL devices. If I were you, I would NOT use that WiFi. I suspect it's a way for DOGE to monitor your personal communications.

This is not an Emperor Penguin. Not even a King Penguin. Sounds a lot like our Southern Elephant Seals though.

Straight down seems bad

This was a choice. Fine won by 8 pts in the district Mike Waltz won by 30 pts just 5 months ago. That the NYT frames it as ā€œeasily wonā€ is a leading reason we are where we are. Headlines matter. Framing matters.

Congratulations @booker.senate.gov. Listened and watched all day yesterday. An amazing speech that made me tear up a few times. Thank you for letting people's voices be heard! You make me feel like I matter! šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘

If Corey Booker can stand and speak for 25 hours, can't we citizens pledge to stand for a couple of hours on Saturday, in defiance of the desecration of our Constitution? If this isn't important to you, what is?

Wonder why the difference…

Don't rank corrupt Eric Adams or sexual predator Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for NYC mayor but, IMPORTANTLY, fill all 5 slots with other, better candidates. Don't let them slip in. Don't give up your say by leaving some rankings empty.

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm. "Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

Padilla: By the time the water was released, the fires were already contained. There was no way that water could even make its way to Southern California. When the hot, dry months come and farmers need that water for irrigation, it’ll be gone. And you can’t get it back.

so my favorite dive bar in WI passed up showing tonight’s Bucks game so they could show live poll results. when the election was called for Crawford, the whole bar started chanting, ā€œFuck El*nā€. the bartender pulled out the good stuff and handed out free shots to us all—an absolutely electric nite

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.

BREAKING: In a massive defeat for Donald Trump and Elon Musk — who poured millions into the race — Democratic-backed Susan Crawford has won the race for the vacant seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, defeating MAGA Republican Brad Schimel.

Two people died so he could duck down and discharge a WWE blood pellet next to his ear and then pose for a photo op I’ll go to my grave believing this was staged.

If you were a halfway decent human being and you knew an innocent man was rotting in foreign prison—likely suffering nightmarish conditions—because your administration screwed up and send him there, you’d do something about it immediately instead of shitposting lies all day.

They meant ā€œdoing fraud waste and abuseā€ not ā€œfinding fraud, waste and abuse.ā€ www.wired.com/story/doge-t...

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

Reminder: Typos in official communications are intentionally included by the administration to identify potential leakers. Please exercise caution with anything you share.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

Canada is a trading nation. That doesn’t happen without Canadian workers. In this time of crisis, we will protect our workers, fight U.S. tariffs, and build a stronger Canadian economy.
