That pulled quote is straight out of the plot of “Major League”

This is the exact kind of brave behavior I want to be seeing from our politicians.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Shame!!!

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Connecticut libraries. #beautiful #Connecticut #Nutmegsky

Nothing to worry about, just a Trump official threatening to prosecute and imprison other public officials in the US

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

wrote about the most terrifying potential consequence of Trump's tariffs war—that other countries and international traders no longer view the U.S. dollar as a safe investment, thus upturning the core engine of the global economic order. (tbc we are not there yet! but … ) slate.com/business/202...

A strong sign that South Carolina is likely to lose its case over kicking Planned Parenthood out of Medicaid is a very pathetic blog post its attorney wrote in Bloomberg Law. Me in @ballsandstrikes.org:

The federal government has revoked the visas of some international students who attend UConn and Yale, the universities said this week. www.ctpublic.org/news/2025-04...

The Jewish community has long history of supporting immigrants and partnering with the Black community. Terrorizing immigrants and dismantling DEI in the name of antisemitism is a lie that is meant to divide our communities and disintegrate multiracial coalitions. It is a tool of white supremacy…

Whatever fraud there is in Medicaid is largely on the provider side, not beneficiaries. It's health insurance, its not cash. "Fraud" here means going to a doctor if you are unemployed.

A list of things wiped out by Trump and Musk is pretty much just a list of research projects in STEM and Humanities, no direction, no discretion, just destruction, because public money spent on public goods is definitionally “waste” as far as crooks are concerned

Trans woman made into national spectacle for participating in mixed gender sport, then removed from her school's fencing team, then scrubbed from the historical record.

New Buying Power: I wrote about how America built the postwar world order and its own society on “consumer choice” and cheap goods, and what happens if Trump strips that out while also gutting the social safety net. Gift link: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!

News: Diana Greene Foster, the MacArthur-winning author of the Turnaway Study, learned her NIH grant — funding a multi-year study on Dobbs' impact — has been pulled. She was told its bc the govt won't study "gender identity." Her work has shaped our understanding of abortion bans' consequences.

Remember: The recipe for economic growth isn’t tax cuts for the rich. It’s investment in our people — in health care, infrastructure and education — to build a strong middle class.  You don't grow the economy through trickle-down nonsense.

Welcome America. Welcome to an abusive relationship.

i love this thread and strongly agree with its proscription

Reddit is flooded with small businesses owners getting crushed by tariffs — devastated by the thought of raising prices, firing workers, or closing up shop entirely.

roberts et al have divined the Actual Intent of the constitution, which is to allow the government to exercise nearly unaccountable power to strip people of their rights. it is why we fought the revolution!

whew

very excited for what will likely be The Monday of (Financial) Doom

🤣

Goldman Sachs says the chance of a recession now stands at 45%. JP Morgan has it at 60%.

Back to watching CNBC. "This is not a misprint: Dow futures with an implied drop of -4.5%." Each anchor has the vibe of a guy waking up from a years-long bender on the side of the highway with no phone and an empty bank account. Continues to be better TV than almost any show.

Ok UConn!

Capital P… phony

We can only hope!!

Just the tip of the iceberg.

The 5 largest single day $DJIA drops and their corresponding President. There seems to be a pattern here but I can’t quite figure it out.

Love the taste of geopolitical suicide in the morning! 😒
