I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It’s the evil laugh at the end for us 😕

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

@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"

He just testified all morning about the reasons why the tariff policy was going to make America great. Then he checked his phone and realized everything he just said was canceled on Truth Social.

I wanted to share this news from over the weekend: During Senate Republicans' all night voting marathon on their billionaire bailout, I offered an amendment to protect Medicaid. It didn't pass, but 3 Republicans voted for it. Here's why that's important:

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

Do you feel it? Do you feel the momentum shift? The will of the people is strong. And we all know the only way out is through & the only way through, is together. Resist. Persist. Standup. Speak out. Fight. We can do this. We WILL do this. We ARE doing it. And we will not stop.

Break down of what small business owners are facing. #tariffs #EconSky

Fox is not journalism. It’s anti-journalism. The more you watch, the less you know. Here’s an example of Fox disinformation cited by the New York Times:

Stop calling them “tariffs”. Call them “import taxes”. The idiots will understand better

The @financialtimes.com is not mincing words "America’s astonishing act of self-harm" on.ft.com/3YjtOLV

UVA professor Siva Vaidhyanathan makes the case for sticking by America—and fighting for it. "My family chose this country in the late twentieth century, so to abandon it when it is most in need would betray my father’s dreams and hopes. We love this country deeply because we chose it."

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “TRADE DEFICIT”—IT’S JUST CALLED “BUYING THINGS.” YOU DO NOT HAVE A TRADE DEFICIT WITH YOUR DENTIST JUST BECAUSE HE NEVER BUYS ANYTHING FROM YOU.

Cory Booker as he breaks Strom Thurmond's speaking record: "I'm not here because of his speech. I'm here despite his speech. I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people are more powerful."

They meant “doing fraud waste and abuse” not “finding fraud, waste and abuse.” www.wired.com/story/doge-t...

Meaning: if Republicans lose the Senate, he will be against it. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Have I ever mentioned the fact that MAGA is a cult of the dumbest dumbfucks who ever dumbed?

If Trump can disappear green card holders for protesting war, he can disappear you. If he can disappear visa holders for criticizing him, he can disappear you. If he can disappear asylum seekers for tattoos, he can disappear you. We must speak out now — before there is no one left to speak out.

Cartoonist: Adam Zyglis

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

This is hilarious. #Greenland

my goodness you can see Tulsi Gabbard trying to come up with evasive answers to Kelly's questions in real time

Stop crying about the deported Venezuelans, liberals. America is no home for people with provocative tattoos. by Pete Hegseth

Imagine if The Atlantic’s editor chose blackmail over journalistic integrity. There’s a lot of blackmail potential here. Isn’t that exactly why security clearances get denied?

is that bad? Seems bad

Seems like Pete Hegseth thinks Pete Hegseth should resign.

Yes. This.

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

I had legit completely forgotten this.

Goldberg: The Secretary of Defense seems like a person who is unserious and is trying to deflect from the fact that he participated in a conversation on an unclassified messaging app that he probably shouldn’t have participated in

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

Elon bought the White House, now he's trying to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court. This is exactly what oligarchy looks like. Wisconsin, on April 1st vote against him by voting Judge Crawford.
