It was never about saving money—or rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse. Musk bought himself a presidency, and in exchange, Trump handed him the keys to our government so he could tear down anything in his way, siphon off our data w/his hackers, and line his pockets w/more fat government contracts.

Trump’s DOJ ordered ICE agents to conduct home raids without a warrant, in clear violation of the 4th Amendment. And three American children were just unlawfully deported, including one with cancer. Where is the outrage from the so-called “party of freedom”?

If Trump's suit against CBS News isn't legally frivolous, it's certainly frivolous-adjacent. What Paramount is considering here is more accurately labeled a payoff than a settlement. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/b...

Only Congress is authorized to create departments. Yet Congress, which is led by Republican allies of Trump, has largely chosen to remain silent as the administration fires federal workers, shuts down government programs and closes federal buildings.

Despite knowing the people on the search warrant weren't there, the ICE arrest team STILL took this family's phones, laptops, and life savings — and refused to leave a BUSINESS CARD so they could ask to get it back! This stuff is sadly not unique to ICE; it happens with regular police raids too.

The Economic Policy Uncertainty Index shot up from 426.16 in March to 766.50 in April, which is the highest this index has ever recorded for the US. The next highest month? September 2008. Which is when the US government put Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac into conservatorship during the GFC. #EconSky

If he cannot carry out his agenda without breaking our laws, violating our Constitution, ignoring the judiciary, alienating our allies and crashing the economy… It’s a criminal agenda.

I really wish reporters would stop saying that there is an effort by the Trump administration to combat antisemitism. It is quite the opposite. There is an effort to foment antisemitism. forward.com/fast-forward...

This doesn’t create the “appearance” of corruption or set up the “potential” for conflict of interest. It is corruption, and it’s a standing conflict of interest. Patently, and historically.

A shameful, pathetic act, underscored by the fact that the ICE statement was issued by a spokesperson who refused to be identified. Challenging the government is a duty of a free people.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

⚠️ First, Trump targets sites like ActBlue that help fund his opponents. ⚠️ Next, it’ll be the voters themselves. And we better take that seriously.

Another red line warning: State Dept “will no longer call governments out for such things as denying freedom of movement and peaceful assembly. They won't condemn retaining political prisoners without due process or restrictions on ‘free and fair elections.’” Is this signaling what’s to come here?!

Almost nobody is ok with it. But was it on your local news today? If not, nobody is going to know about it in order to not be OK with it. Ppl oppose almost everything this administration is doing, when they’re told what those things are. But most people aren’t!

Really need journalists to push back on this bullshit. When they say this, just ask them point blank: "Are you saying that because one Latino man committed a murder, another Latino man deserves a life sentence? Do you think all Latino men interchangeable?"

To put a finer point on it. Trump’s contention isn’t just that he can deport people without them appearing before a judge, but that he can render them into a life sentence in a foreign dungeon with no process whatsoever.

Last Friday, Trump's EPA shut down a Biden-era website mapping locations of dangerous chemical plants. The chemical industry, which gave over $1M to Trump's inauguration, heavily lobbied the Trump administration to scrap the website. See how this works?
