Repeat after me - there is no plan. The entire global economy hangs on the whims of one guy. Also, Howard Lutnick promised me all those millions of jobs screwing tiny screws into iPhones were coming back to the United States.

We stand by our reporting.

The U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services has repeatedly claimed: “If you’re healthy, it’s almost impossible to die from an infectious disease in modern times.” That is dangerously false. www.medscape.com/viewarticle/...

The agency forecasts weather, manages fisheries, and researches the world's oceans, atmosphere, and climate. The proposed budget cuts would slash the climate work entirely.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

What a pathetic little man

This really just happened.

This, for the love of Pete, this

🚨NEW: The NC Supreme Court's GOP majority will retroactively nullify 2,000 to 7,000 ballots from military and overseas voters unless they quickly prove their identity—but only those who voted in a few Democratic counties.

He’s a dictator now. Not just a wanna-be dictator. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

the three of us are having a conversation

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... “The head of the US military base in Greenland has been fired for criticising Washington’s agenda for the Arctic island after JD Vance visited two weeks ago.” Our Military leaders are expected to cowtow to Trump. He won’t stop there if we allow him to continue.

Just in case you needed a reminder of how brilliantly tRump is executing financial leadership…

THREAD: Under a new law, thousands of prisoners in Louisiana have been cut off from ever getting a chance at parole. Why? Because an algorithm said so. 1/

Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

I checked again. This is still a real thing:

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

there is no “epidemic,” he is almost certainly going to say it is vaccines and, well, stay safe everyone.

The European Union and China are now starting negotiations to abolish EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. This is a major strategic failure for the United States.

Pee Wee German said last night the global tariffs were the greatest economic strategy ever. Now reversing them is.

A play in two acts.

There’s some slippery on this slope… www.npr.org/2025/04/09/g...

Just a POTUS using the federal government to persecute someone for doing their job (again). Completely normal stuff… www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Huh? www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

If seen North Koreans lacerate their hands by clapping less furiously

Sure was a lucky break for those billionaires to be at the White House today when the tariffs were reversed. Good day in the market for them.

The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

imagine being this pathetic, servile and eager to gulp up the slop

No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.

Stable genius.

JFC. WE ARE STILL WORSE OFF. We still have *at least* 10% global tariffs. Businesses can’t make decisions, as they don’t know what tariffs will be 90 days from now I usually say Trump is great at repackaging the status quo as victory but this is significantly worse than pre-Liberation Day status quo

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

Just unbelievable fascist shit every single day. WTF…?

“So, back to where it always was,” said one Indiana field office employee. “What a waste of our time.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Jesus—Trump just said that he will be looking at exempting certain US companies from tariffs. Reporter asks: “How will you determine that” Trump: “Instinctively”. Sounds like whoever will bend the knee and kiss the ring.

Uh huh… www.mediaite.com/tv/trump-off...

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Markets want certainty, stability, and predictability. That’s how businesses plan, hire, and grow. What they don’t want is an unstable narcissist playing economic roulette on social media. Don’t be fooled, tariffs are still much higher on the world than before he was inaugurated.

SCOOP: An unsigned agreement between the US DOGE Service (USDS) and the Department of Labor (DOL), obtained by WIRED, calls for the DOL to reimburse the USDS up to $1.3 million for work done by four DOGE affiliates, or “a slightly different number,” over an 18-month period.
