New records reveal that Marjorie Taylor Greene bought thousands of dollars in stock right before Trump’s tariff pause announcement caused markets to surge.

CARRIE FISHER (the dog!) headed home to the East Bay with her new mom! She'll have a doggie pal & some kitty sibs. After being found wandering in the Yuba City area, she'll be loved and looked after forevermore! Congratulations! 💞

Everything Musk touches turns to shit.

As we’ve warned before, the Trump administration has subjected around 80 staffers to lie detector tests. America, please understand—this is not normal.

My law firm is currently litigating 49 voting and election cases in 21 states. States with the most cases: AZ, GA, NC, NV, FL, LA, PA. I expect new cases will be filed this week.

Trump has just replaced President Obama’s official presidential portrait in the White House with a painting of himself.

A fifth law firm capitulated today and agreed to become a Trump collaborator. Shameful.

Cost of extending the Trump tax cuts for the rich: $4.6 trillion Cost of cutting corporate tax rate to 15%: $1 trillion Remember this as we hear about "wasteful government spending."

Trump administration opens half of National Forests to logging. An emergency order lifts protections on over half of U.S. Forest Service lands as the Trump pushes to increase timber production.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Here is an up to date list of Big Law collaborators along with how much in free legal services they have pledged to Trump's causes. Paul Weiss 40M Cadwalader 100M Milbank 100M Skadden Arps 100M Willkie Farr 100M A&O Shearman 125M Kirkland & Ellis 125M Latham & Watkins 125M Simpson Thacher 125M

@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?"

Before #PRINCESSLEIA was a Princess, she was a stray dog in Modesto.🥺

Here are the Democrats that voted for the Save Act

“This does not just affect North Carolina,” Riggs said. “This is like dropping a match in a really dry forest. And if we let this kind of anti-democratic effort take hold, we will not be able to contain it. So this is a fight for the very soul of democracy. Today’s decision was deeply misinformed.”

Yes but you see the price of eggs was up one entire dollar so what choice did we have

#PleaseShare Lost in #PaloAlto

Lots of adoptions this past week, including AMIDALA! Her last guardians lost their housing, but she all smiles now as she has a new beginning with Shannon and her husband. Shannon said "We have fostered and we love the mission. We are all about giving a good home to a dog in need." 💞

TOBIAS came to us from Sutter County, his mouth was a mess and he wasn't neutered. We took care of that and this lovely couple from Napa had to have him! What a cute picture! Enjoy your new life, Tobias!

ALPINE, how could you have survived as a stray in Los Banos? That part of your life is O-V-E-R, you've got a new dad! 👏#AdoptDontShop Thanks for adopting Alpine, Steve!

OPINION by @stevebenen.com: “If Trump is going to set the global economy — and your retirement savings — on fire, it’s hardly unreasonable to think he should present his vision in a way that had a tangential relationship with reality. He did not.” READ MORE: www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Trump just pardoned crypto firm BitMex for violating money laundering laws — making him potentially the first president in American history to pardon a corporation. It's truly a new Golden Age for corporate crime.

The worst news of the week. "The U.S. Senate confirmed Harmeet Dhillon, a veteran lawyer with a history of attacking voting rights, to lead the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

“I think we’re all familiar with the old adage, 'When the going gets tough, the tough get going to Florida for a Saudi-backed golf event'...” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Russians just launched a ballistic missile at a residential area. More than 50 injured, 14 killed, including 3 children Anyone in DC who shook this man’s hand today will never wash the blood off

Oh, Bob. 🫠 Once a stray, he's so grateful to be cared for in his foster home. He's ready and waiting for his forever person! muttville.org 💕

$5 trillion in retirement accounts and investments erased and Donald Trump is... golfing. But those billionaire tax cuts? The Senate is working nights and weekends to make that happen for him. Gotta have priorities.

George HW Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Clinton (D) got us out. George W Bush (R) got us mired in a recession. Obama (D) got us out. Trump (R) got us mired in a recession. Biden (D) got us out. Trump (R) is yet again ushering us into a recession. Starting to notice a trend?

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

Over $2 trillion has been erased from the stock market so far today.

I love this

The IRS unit that audits ultrawealthy earners has lost 38% of its employees this year. This will starve the government of revenue by making it easier for the rich to evade taxes — which the top 1% already do to the tune of $163B a year. See what DOGE is really about?

Remember how Mark Zuckerberg started cozying up to Trump as Meta donated $1 million to his inauguration? Well now Zuckerberg is trying to cash in — reportedly lobbying Trump to settle the FTC’s antitrust lawsuit against Meta. This is why you always follow the money.

There is now reporting that the Department of Homeland Security has deported the wrong person due to “administrative error.” This is a massive violation of people’s rights and due process. Must be fixed.
