Mirroring Russia's 2022 invasion strategy of Ukraine, the US Trump regime will deploy troops along the Panama Canal for what it claims is "training, exercises and "other activities"" after months of threatening invasion. Panamanians say the US of launching a “camouflaged invasion”. #panamainvasion

#BREAKING: Over 36,000 people rallied in Los Angeles today in support of @sanders.senate.gov and @aoc.bsky.social’s OLIGARCHY TOUR — setting a record as their largest stop on this tour.

DC RUMORS: MTG and her mother are being investigated for insider trading.

I said it before and I’ll say it again: Target not only turned its back on diversity it spit in our faces. My wife and I haven’t been back since January — and we won’t be. We take our money where people like us are seen, valued, and respected. Solidarity ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏻

‘Fawning’ is a response where a person gives a servile display of exaggerated flattery in order to gain favor or advantage. AKA: ass-kisser, bootlicker, toady, suck-up brown-noser, etc.

I'm not saying journalists should never interview admitted propagandists. There are journalistic reasons to do so. But if we do, we must be prepared to -- in fact it is our duty to -- challenge vociferously all unsubstantiated claims. Otherwise, we ourselves become propagandists.

Letting Reps with newborns vote remotely is pro-family, Speaker Johnson. Thank you, @pettersen.house.gov, for leading this movement, not just for you and your generation, but for Sam and his.

This is what we're working with

Marjorie Taylor Greene buying Apple, Pi, Qualcomm, Dell, Amazon, and Lam stocks seems a lot more sus before the tariff exemptions on electronics components, smartphones, semiconductors, and computers. Martha Stewart would like a word.

15,000 people have gathered in downtown L.A. for the latest stop on the Fighting Oligarchy Tour featuring Bernie Sanders and AOC!! This event is part of what Sen. Sanders calls his efforts to have real discussions on how we move forward "to take on the oligarchs and corporate interests who have…

This breaks me — because I can see my wife and daughter living through this. I don’t trust DHS, and you shouldn’t either because it could happen to anyone. They’re on a mission, and it feels lawless as hell.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

Forgive the rant, but what the hell is this Administration doing?  Not gonna be easy to undo the damage, folks. But I’ve got some ideas on where to start.

This right here 🔥 “If there was market manipulation, it is a crime. Someone needs to go to jail… I want the documents. I want the Signal chats too, because I don’t trust them — that they weren’t sharing all this information across their Signal chats.” – @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social

Wow! They’re estimating that 32,000 people are at the AOC and Bernie Sanders Fighting Oligarchy rally in Los Angeles! Incredible!

House sparrows go completely silent and disappear from my yard whenever a hawk flies over. They don’t help the hawk. I wish US voters were as smart as birds.

"How MAGA Mainstreamed Fascism Through The Manosphere" MAGA radicalized and influenced an entire generation of young men by weaponizing culture to Trojan Horse their authoritarian politics. This is how we fight back. W/ @ilyseh.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

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

Worst Yelp review ever. 🤡 #UMich (via Michael McDonough)

CLIP: “My middle daughter wouldn’t have been born.” As “Bully” Bulso claimed Rudder’s bill to protect IVF/contraceptives undercuts their argument that life begins at conception, Johnny Garrett spoke from personal experience & helped block it. Full debate: www.instagram.com/reel/DIXW7LK...

Who has two thumbs and told everyone Bill Maher was garbage years ago?

Donold doesn’t deserve a grand birthday parade. He deserves to be marched through King’s Landing with an stern cleric behind him chanting “shame.”

Crows in a lab were able to distinguish shapes that exhibited right angles, parallel lines, and symmetry, suggesting that, like humans, they have a special ability to perceive geometric regularity.

CLIP: “Plan B is legal—it prevents her from ovulating so she does NOT get pregnant.” As Rep. Jody Barrett (R) opposed Rep. Iris Rudder’s IVF/contraceptives bill he proved he is NOT a doctor, getting a female reproduction lesson from Rep. Terry (R) who IS. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DIXW7LK...

Give us proof, not your word.

A witch hunt is underway. We’ve faced many before. Take a breath. Stay grounded.

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

CDC unable to respond to lead crisis due to funding cuts.

I just want to tip my hat to the crack team of White House economists who were able to discover--in just a few short days--that the U.S. is dependent on China for smartphones, computers and semiconductors.

This “genius” genuinely believes that healthcare budget analysts can simply be reassigned to making toasters.

C’mon Simpsons.

Hey MSM – here's a career-making question for you to point blank ask RFKjr: "Please give the American public a succinct summary of the scientific method." He can't answer it.

An estimated 15,000 people are at the Fighting Oligarchy rally with AOC and Bernie Sanders in Los Angeles today. Amazing!

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

8. Governments in fascist nations use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.

NYT page one: @nytimes.com

Alina Habba has launched a criminal probe into New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy over "ICE obstruction." Immigration control is the responsibility of the federal government. States can’t be compelled to assist ICE under the 10th Amendment. It's amazing this failed lawyer passed the bar exam.

77 million people voted for deregulation (Trump). Did they know they were also voting for pollution, cancer, and climate chaos loved ones and future generations? We can now be poisoned on purpose—without a check.

does anyone have a cannon pointed at the sun I can borrow? need to shoot myself into the sun with a cannon

yeah, weird that the left wasn’t present at the Fourteen Words conference

The pre-Liberation Day close is 5671 on the SPX, call it 21.8x a $260 EPS number. Feels like a ceiling to me, but we’ll see early next week.

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.

Accurate.

Law grads, save your soul. Don't apply to these firms. Make them toxic. There are other ways to make money and do good work. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/b...

If you can't prove your citizenship well enough to to vote... ...then you can't prove your citizenship well enough to keep from being deported to a South American prison.

Bravo to Susman Godfrey. My first reaction to hearing they had been targeted was to tell people that it wasn’t in that firm’s DNA to settle. Their late founder Steve Susman would be proud of his firm—as should our profession and all freedom-loving Americans.

Tax cuts account for 38% of the national debt today, while recession responses and spending increases each caused 29%. And now the Republicans want to pass $5.3T more tax cuts. We can’t keep this up. My @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social

Republican inflation expectations are meaningfully above zero for the first time since Trump took office, but they're still absurdly low.
