WHAT THE F**K!

Remarkable. A whole article that might be titled how all us super powerful people turned out to be Donald Trump bitches www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

He’s tanking the economy, destroying our standing in the world, depriving women and LGBTQ communities of their fundamental rights, attacking the environment, disappearing legal immigrants, gutting Veteran’s benefits and Social Security. And he’s making you pay for his golf trips while he’s at it.

it is because they want to impoverish the country! they don’t want high end manufacturing. they want americans working subsistence wages making t shirts and clothes hangers

Shorter Jeanine: down is the new up.

Anyway, like I keep saying… The Courts WILL NOT save us from this madness.

Racists gonna racism.

But sure, Dems, keep going along in Congress as if it's business as usual. All very bipartisanshippy. Reach across the aisle why don't you? Maybe give Mitch a hug and thank him again for holding up Garland's nomination?

The TikTok ban is bad policy—if Congress is concerned about data privacy, they should pass a data privacy law—but this is still toxic to the rule of law. If the law is bad then Congress has to repeal it! We can't have the President just say "nah" to statutes, that's how you get DOGE!

Interesting. In a hypothetical senate primary matchup, AOC crushes Schumer 55-36. Recall that AOC got her political start by primarying an out of touch member of House leadership. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

“Republicans are the party to trust on the economy”

Every single paper in the U.S. would be excoriating a Dem President who was golfing while the stock market melted down. We all know this. The editorial boards would be screeching, state tv ie Fox would be playing NONSTOP clips, etc. etc. It's worth remembering.

big week for the guys in this photo! (left) charged with rape (middle) decimated the US health infrastructure (right) confirmed head of centers for medicare and medicaid

F*ck just imagine. It's time to "Remember Lithuania" the way we were all bludgeoned with Benghazi. Trump and the GOP do not get a pass on this - not on what happened in Lithuania itself, but on this disrespect. We the people endured >10 investigations and >30 hearings at a cost of >$20M. Payback.

This is the thing. Manufacturing jobs 100 years ago were dangerous, precarious, and poorly paid. Manufacturing jobs 70 years ago were a golden ticket to the middle class. The jobs didn't change. What changed was the New Deal and unions.

Thinking about these guys

“.. The new tariff regime is not reciprocal to anything, but instead is retaliatory in proportion to how big a surplus in goods trade a country happens to have with the US. This chart from @exante.bsky.social illustrates it beautifully.”

NEW: For decades, the Wilson Center in DC has produced valuable research on foreign policy for US policymakers and the public. Today, its 130 workers were put on leave and will be fired because of Trump and Musk ordering a shutdown. Our @nytimes.com story: www.nytimes.com/2025/04/03/u...

Just read that McConnell says the Rose Garden Tariffs are a “bad policy”. You know what else is a bad policy? Not impeaching a seditious insurrectionist.

Tell us you don’t know anything about Ayanna Pressley without…

In case you were wondering where 47 was off to (below), we have our answer: bsky.app/profile/meid...

Only 15 U.S. Senators voted to disapprove pending arms sales to Israel, while Trump and Netanyahu openly plan to ethnically cleanse and annex Gaza. Inexplicable 'nay' votes by Ossoff and Warnock, who voted in favor of a similar resolution in November.

StateNews Media misrepresenting facts of story to fit a narrative sounds like another day ending in Y. How these people sleep at night is the real question.

Palestinians are suffering because of bipartisan American bombs and bipartisan American policies. Decades of it. There’s no way to see what’s happening now as anything but the reaping of what was sown. The universe never forgets.

Spoke with someone today who worked on nuclear subs for military. Their friend who still works there was driving govt car and went to refill gas. Small purchase transactions stopped by Doge so they left the car at the gas station and had someone from home come give them a ride.

It'd really be nice to start organizing nodes about saving libraries. Bc that'd engage a lot of people who otherwise might not come out.

corruptus in extremis

Apropos of nothing: Kamala Harris predicted this exact moment happening: “Understand that part of Trump’s plan is to put in place a national sales tax of at least 20% on everyday goods and necessities.” She warned us over & over again & she was so right.

Bill Burr is a national treasure 🎯! "You journalists need to get your balls back"

Hopefully ratings are worth less than become state media, @cnn.com @msnbc.com @60minutes.bsky.social @washingtonpost.com @nytimes.com

Tufts University petitions a federal judge to release student Rümeysa Öztürk, who was grabbed off the street by immigration officials. The move is some of the strongest public pushback by a school against the Trump administration's arrests of foreign students.

These aren't tariffs. They are a horse's head in the bed of (almost) every world government and business leader.

Reckless speech at the expense of others, the cycle ad infinitum. “We can’t possibly police this and keep our shareholders happy and the latter population? Waaaaay more important than [protected group status]…”

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.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney: "If the United States no longer wants to lead, Canada will." This is what real leadership looks like.
