NEW: TIME publishes interview with Trump. This is a REAL section of the transcript. It is impossible to read this and not conclude that Trump is suffering profound, cognitive decay.

Never seen it framed this way by all recent elections Wild

Every dictator in history has claimed that they’ll only use their powers to go after the worst of the worst. Every dictator in history has lied. Donald Trump is no different.

A U.S. citizen born in the state of Georgia has been arrested for entering Florida as an “unauthorized alien.” During a hearing in Leon County, his mother presented his birth certificate and Social Security card, but the judge said she had no authority to release him.

We're told the FDA is now making plans to end most of its routine food safety inspections That oversight work would be effectively outsourced to state and local authorities, under this plan www.cbsnews.com/news/fda-foo...

Very informative chart from Washington Post

I'm not going to stop saying this. We need to stop calling it "deporting." It may not always be fair or humane, but deportation has a process. And it means you're sent back to where you came from. These people are being trafficked and sold to slave prisons. Not deported.

It’s sounding more and more to me like part of the tariff reasoning is that we want to get in position to be able to launch a major war (Iran? China?) and want to be able to manufacture our own wartime goods. “National Security” keeps coming up

The message is: crowd large. Many politicians, administrators, and business leaders, in bowing to Trump, have drawn confidence and comfort from the perceived vibe shift. Events like this puncture that delusion.

THIS. #HandsOff

This is a man in his athletic prime

One thing the Democrats can do (and don't seem to be doing) is coordinate on/publish a 'here is what we we will do to reverse Trump' set of proposed measures. Republicans made it clear that they would overturn JCPOA, damaging its credibility from outset. Dems should do same for the shitty stuff.

We are speedrunning the Declaration of Independence, folks.

"We now have the techniques and the resources to get rid of poverty. The real question is whether we have the will." — Martin Luther King Jr., March 31, 1968

Ohh "America First" was a hit list

Trump: "An old fashioned term that we use -- groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it."

Elon ruined his reputation and the reputation of his businesses for 3 months in the Trump administration. His biggest accomplishments were making everyone hate him and getting a liberal judge elected in Wisconsin

How it started // how it's going

Cutting funding for medicaid, social security, veterans, cancer research, humanitarian aid, museums, libraries, scientific research, health and human services, national parks… Firing hundreds of thousands of workers All to pay for tax cuts for people who already have billions of dollars Efficient

The only good thing this administration is actually effective at is showing how bad, ineffective, and unpopular the far-right agenda is. Most people are quickly growing to hate the state of the country brought on by the republican authoritarian agenda. Dissatisfaction will grow as things get worse

These should be reported as “disappeared” or “kidnapped”, not “arrested” or “detained” like NBC and other news outlets use. These students came here following the legal immigration process and there are no charges against them

The Senate voted Thursday to strike down a rule capping most bank overdraft fees at $5, a measure adopted late last year by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau that had been expected to save Americans billions of dollars per year.
