Donald Trump wants to pretend that he’s succeeded in bringing grocery prices down like he promised. But new data today shows he’s shrinking the economy and raising the cost of your groceries—all in under 100 days.

Once again, not a immigrant. Not a drag queen. Just good ol' homegrown "Christians".

Well deserved!! bassmagazine.com/carol-kaye-t...

Yeah. No. That’s not how this works.

the face of a man calling a PDF published on a conservative website a "study"

'We're citizens!': OKC woman says she and her three daughters are traumatized after ICE raided their home, forcing them outside in the rain in their underwear. Names on the search warrant matched mail still arriving in the home they just moved into. (1/2) kfor.com/news/local/w...

I had to upload the clip here because it's frankly insane. Possibly the most insane trump clip yet. His brain is pudding

This passage from @benjamincarterhett.bsky.social's book on Hitler's rise to power has long haunted me for the way it describes how so many ordinary Germans had their minds & souls gradually rewired by the changing political climate of the 1930s. Watching something similar happen here is terrifying.

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

🤔

Anyone else find it strange that a man with a 14-year heroin addiction is railing against Narcan—the lifesaving drug that helped drive a sharp drop in overdose deaths after a federal distribution program? No one said Narcan cures addiction. It prevents funerals. That’s the point. The facts 👇🏾

Vets for Trump can kiss my fucking white ass!

Donald Trump issued an Executive Order effectively repealing the Magna Carta.

They really don’t care.

I can't wait to pay "import charges" for my Amazon items. This will go down as the largest tax increase on the middle-class in history.

Dear America, what you’re experiencing is called regret. To learn more, please contact any of my ex-girlfriends.

Corporations and the ultra-wealthy donated a record-breaking $239 million for Trump’s inauguration. Trump gets a big party. Donors get nominated for Cabinet jobs. Corporations get billions in taxpayer-funded government contracts. Working people get screwed.

Interesting that if you shop at Whole Foods, a lot of money is spent making it feel like a place that respects workers and embraces progressive values, but it is not. Costco just feels like a warehouse but they treat their workers pretty well and has rejected anti-DEI BS

The thing with Pedro Pascal is he not only gives a fuck; he knows he's huge enough to spend all day trashing bigots safely because entire franchises are built around him atm. He's no dispensable Gina Carano-tier secondary guy. This also underlines how most famous artists as big as him are cowards.

Trump is granting ad hoc exemptions to tariffs — government at its worst & a recipe for corruption — while regular Americans pay more & businesses are thrown into chaos.

I interviewed @cyndimunson.bsky.social about her bid to become Oklahoma's next governor.

On his 100th day in office in 2017 Trump headed to a PA wheelbarrow factory to launch his trade policy and put the US on the path to today’s tariffs. Eight years on that factory is closed. The wheelbarrows are now made in China. My latest for @bloomberg.com: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

DOUCHE

When you dump your human shield….

So while Team Trump is cutting money for cancer research and Americorps, their allies are trying to add $150 billion to the Pentagon budget -- including $25 billion for the "Golden Dome" missile defense initiative, AKA Star Wars 2.0. breakingdefense.com/2025/04/ship...

🧵1 The Trump admin torched $600M in grants that trained new teachers—just when schools are desperate for help. Why? Because the programs supported diversity and equity. They’re not just gutting funding—they’re gutting the future of public education. This is deliberate sabotage. @aft.org

This was part of the $250M election donation deal.

THIS is what Trump’s Panama Canal flip out is about. Sadly not even joking. Yes, Trump is this petty. Trump sold condos to South American Narcos and the Russian mob, out of a Trump-licensed tower in Panama. Many of the units went unoccupied. Strictly money laundering op. 🔄 #TrumpOceanClubPanama

Call me CRAZY, but I don’t think we should be spending $92 million on a military parade for a draft dodger. While VETERANS don’t have housing, healthcare or food.

If they’re arresting judges and deporting American toddlers, they will start arresting school staff for not allowing ICE into elementary schools.

This line is going to stick with me for a very long time. “One of them is a 4-year-old with Stage 4 cancer who was deported without medication or the ability to contact their doctors…”

Russia launched almost 150 drones on Kostyantynivka in the Donetsk region in Ukraine overnight. Yet Donald Trump is just now figuring out that Putin doesn’t want peace? Donald has been repeatedly played like an oversized fiddle.

If you think a just-fertilized ovary is entitled to life but are indifferent to what happens to a kidnapped 4-year-old with cancer, sent to a dangerous country without meds, you don’t give a fuck about the lives of children. You are just in a cult that fetishizes being against abortions.

- 🌊💙 ☮️ #PamelasSundaySanity from George Carlin, US Air Force Veteran He needs money! He always needs money! He's all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can't handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. -

If Bill Clinton raped girls on Epstein’s island or other properties, he should rot in prison for the rest of his life. If Donald Trump raped girls on Epstein’s island or other properties, he should rot in prison for the rest of his life. That wasn’t so difficult, was it?

The Trump administration now says they are allowed to enter your home to look for migrants without a warrant. They claim their actions are unconstrained by the Fourth Amendment.

"You're telling me Putin's responsible for the war?" "Yes, Mr. President." "That's not what I hear." "He invaded our country, bombed civilians and kidnapped thousands of our children." "Vlad did that? Why would he?" "He wants to take over all of Ukraine." "This is the first I'm hearing of this."

If you think fertilized eggs have rights but 2-year-old US citizens with cancer don’t, stop pretending your concerns are “the children.”
