Watch a major campaign being born.

The bill has moved to the Senate. Tell your Senators to stop the voter suppression SAVE Act here: bit.ly/3XoEskc #ResistTrump

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

The Trump Clusterfuck Trade Tariff Plan. www.yahoo.com/news/um-turn...

If you’re a woman who took the last name of your spouse, and you need to pay to get a passport in order to vote, that would be a poll tax. Poll taxes are unconstitutional.

Good way to see the current tariffs, as of literally today, is no tariffs on high value add manufactured goods marketed to middle and upper middle classes. Massive tariffs for cheap consumer items which amount to the biggest economic privilege of working class/middle class life in US.

We need to encourage businesses to show the Trump Tariff Tax on their receipts and invoices. 👇

They’re literally plundering the Treasury and it’s still not enough - they’re after EVERYTHING we have. Understand, THEY WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED. They have an event horizon in place of a soul; insatiable by nature.

"Art Of The Cave"

Trump's EPA just moved to reverse state and local bans on toxic "forever chemicals" that can lead to birth defects and cancer.  So much for "Make America Healthy Again." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/05/trump-pfas-toxic-forever-chemicals

Donold sends people with soccer tattoos to El Salvador and lets people with swastika tattoos go free.

the other insane thing about these new tariff exemptions is that they exempted the machinery used to make semiconductors because that’s obviously counterproductive to re-shoring semiconductor manufacturing but have not extended that logic to ***all the other types of machinery***

Trump administration opens half of National Forests to logging. An emergency order lifts protections on over half of U.S. Forest Service lands as the Trump pushes to increase timber production.

77 million people voted for deregulation (Trump). Did they know they were also voting for pollution, cancer, and climate chaos loved ones and future generations? We can now be poisoned on purpose—without a check.

Did you know? The word “trumpery” appeared in the 15th century with the meanings “deceit” or “fraud”. 100 years later, it was being applied to objects of little or no value. Then in the 1900’s, it came to mean “showy but worthless”. — Today, it is equated with “fascist shit”.

Amazing that the government isn’t even collecting Trump’s tariffs, which means Americans are paying higher prices and the country isn’t even getting the tax revenue. Even for them, it’s unbelievable incompetence.

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.

"The bond market is not like the Supreme Court, or Paul Weiss, or Columbia University, or any of the other institutions Trump has conquered, co-opted, or corrupted." "He cannot scare it into submission. He cannot bribe it." from @jvl.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-fina...

They are obviously slow learners

Creepy MAGA insurrectionist Mike Johnson pretends every day that he’s a decent god loving Christian. He just voted to cut Medicaid when over 40% of the people in his district rely on Medicaid. Moral of the story, he’s not only a disgusting liar, he’s also incredibly evil.

MAGA Education Secretary Linda McMahon has been seen and heard referring to AI as “A1” steak sauce whilst she’s working to dismantle public education. We are living in the dumbest of times and the stupidity is endless.

Forcing people to pay $130 for a passport in order to vote is just a Jim Crow poll tax by another name. It is blatantly unconstitutional.

Wild that Rand Paul is out here making a clearer, more forceful case against Trump’s disastrous tariff policies than most Democrats eyeing a run for president.

Another betrayal to the service and sacrifice made by the officers who defended the Capitol. Trump directs the justice department to reimburse Jan. 6 rioters for refunds of the restitution payments they made to cover damage to the Capitol. He doesn’t support the police…he never has.

I like how he’s openly admitting to shaking down private companies and nothing will be done about it. Ever. Pretty, pretty cool.

Mark Carney says he has 'seen this movie before', and believes that the US economy is heading for a Brexit-style downturn www.thelondoneconomic.com/politics/us-...

We wouldn’t be here if SCOTUS had allowed the January 6th trial to go forward as scheduled.

I do not read anything in the Trump White House's appeal to the Supreme Court that would, as a practical matter, prevent the government from legally disappearing *anyone* to a foreign torture prison by "mistake" ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is leading Chuck Schumer by double digits in a new poll of the 2028 New York primary. The survey by the liberal firm Data for Progress, found that among Democratic likely voters: • 55% leaned toward Ocasio-Cortez • 36% leaned toward Schumer • 9% were undecided

NEW: The Fourth Circuit UPHOLDS Judge Xinis’s order to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the US by midnight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Call the Republicans. I have been goddamn obnoxious about this.

Congress could end these tariffs today if they wanted to. Every day they don't is a shocking abdication of its responsibility and duty to govern.

Not joking: as of today Donald Trump is the absolute greatest destroyer of wealth the country has ever had

Finally, some good news.

There has never been a more ridiculous argument made by an American President than that somehow on the other side of this there is something better. There is only worse. Far, far worse.

That is about fight!
