China just halted orders of all Boeing planes. This is a major strategic failure for Trump.

Trump is one of the worst smelling people. Just look at him… that’s the smell. It’s honestly dirty

French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean-Noël Barrot called on the European Union to impose the toughest sanctions against Russia "to suffocate its economy and prevent it from fuelling its war effort" "This weekend,the horror in Ukraine reached its climax with the Palm Sunday massacre…

Saratov airport in russia is on fire for some reason 👀🔥

More tariff exemptions. So again, the question: If tariffs are so great, why so many exemptions? www.mediaite.com/news/breakin...

🚨BREAKING: Four more Big Law firms join the ranks of Trump collaborators. A&O Shearman, Kirkland & Ellis, Latham & Watkins and Simpson Thacher all capitulated. In a sign of growing inflation, each firm agreed to $125m in Trump approved pro bono. Shameful.

Our government mistakingly put an innocent man in a foreign jail, and our Justice Department is now arguing to keep him there. Under Trump, our Justice Department is now working AGAINST justice.

Gov. Whitmer stands in the Oval Office as Trump signs a disgraceful executive orders targeting Chris Krebs and Miles Taylor. She doesn't walk out. She doesn't say anything right after to the media. Later on, her office puts out a weak statement. Be better, Gov. Whitmer. Be like Gov. Mills.

US plans to withdraw up to 10,000 troops from Eastern Europe, — NBC News If this happens, it will primarily hit the defense of the Baltic states and Poland.

Audi halts deliveries to the US due to US tariffs, — Automobilwoche.

The youngest couple killed by the Russians💔 Alina Kutsenko and Danylo Nikitsky. They were both 15 years old. They were dating and loved each other. Today, they are being buried together. Danya and Alina were killed by Russia on April 4th in Kryvyi Rih.

This continues to be the biggest story in the country: DOGE has already squandered half a trillion dollars in 6 weeks. Not billion. half a trillion, $500 billion talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/irs-p...

Russia is losing on the front. Only 2 small gains on the whole eastern frontlines. Meters for thousands of casualties... +the barbaric state they're in. So desperate they hitting civilians & call it soldiers.. #Ukraine #Russia #Ukrainewar #NAFO #RussiaIsAterroristState

Definitely a sign of rational decisionmaking to be yelling at the world in ALLCAPS.

🇪🇺 Reporter: "EU imports almost no U.S. pork because of ban on hormones used there. It's not about tariffs." 🇺🇸 Agriculture Secretary Rollins: "No, no, no. They're using bad science and unsubstantiated claims to keep our products out."

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

Germany plans to repatriate its gold from the mafia-ridden USA: 1,200 tons worth €113 billion — Politico Berlin is outraged by Trump's erratic policies and now views the USA as an unreliable partner.

This isn't just donalds doing. The Republicans in Congress own this. They had the ability to stop him and they didn't. This isn't donalds economy, this is the republican economy.

"We cannot overstate what has just happened. It took just 71 days for Donald Trump to wreck the American economy, mortally wound NATO, and destroy the American-led world order" from @jvl.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/the-americ...

There it is. That’s a HUGE part of the reason Trump & the oligarchs love the Gilded Age — the era before the income tax. They want to shift the tax burden back to consumers & working people while the robber barons celebrate their biggest tax cuts in US history. That’s also why Elon decimated govt.

We were cleaning Chinas clock economically. Many predicted they would surpass us by now, and they haven’t. But this tariff stuff will close the gap. Idiots

It's unfair to say that what Trump's doing is unprecedented. Ninety-five years ago, the Smoot Hawley Tariff Act helped turn a recession into the Great Depression.

I woke up this morning feeling damn proud again that I worked my ass off to try to help get Kamala Harris elected.

every Republican TV hit today

The story of this employee's final days at USAID exposes two Trumpist lies about the agency: that its work was not important and that its employees were corrupt. New from Nancy Clair:

Guess who supplies the wifi? Starlink. Is anyone surprised?

Up against the richest man in the world spending more than anyone's ever spent in a judicial race, Susan Crawford never wavered. Never cowered. Kept fighting. A lesson, there.

In Pete Hegseth’s DOD there is only room for Pete. I looked at the pathetic public response to the loss of four good soldiers in Lithuania while Hegseth did pushups and recorded a travel diary of the Indo-Pacific. Our troops and their families deserve so much better than this walking ego. My latest:

The tariffs constitute “a means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.” Exactly.

This was….five months ago

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.

❗️NATO Allies have pledged to allocate over 20 billion euros for military support to Ukraine - NATO Secretary General Rutte

🧑‍🧒‍🧒🇺🇦 "No deal will be good unless 19,546 Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia are brought home", - RAZOM for Ukraine 🇺🇸🙏 This video, calling on U.S. President Donald Trump and his administration, has been airing on the Fox & Friends morning show on FOX News for a week.

The same people in DC who got us into this mess are not going to be the ones to get us out of it. Today I'm announcing my campaign for U.S. Senate. Because we don't have a minute to wait.

Over last 3 years, US has spent around 2.34 Trillion on defense preparing for, among others, Russia. In same period we spent $187 Billion supporting Ukraine beating Russia. So: just 7.8 percent to defeat one of our biggest enemies, with no US losses Pretty good deal

Strom Thurmond had the longest filibuster on record - to block civil rights. @corybooker.com is about to break his record fighting for our freedom. This is the kind of record worth breaking.

⚡️ Germany has deployed its first permanent military brigade abroad since WWII, stationing 5,000 troops in Lithuania to reinforce NATO’s eastern flank amid ongoing tensions with Russia.

So the administration ADMITS it mistakenly arrested and sent a father to El Salvador, but then can’t right the wrong because, well, he’s in El Salvador? Is this right?

Dear Trump Supporters, If you accept a government that has the power to deny due process to certain people, then be ready for a government that has the power to deny due process to you. Sincerely, A Former Trump Supporter

No lies told here.

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

Poland is preparing its population for war with Russia. The Chief of the Polish General Staff, Wieslaw Kukula, announced that the country's authorities will offer courses in civil defense and medical care for those who have not served in the army.
