Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but that’s just me

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

MPS had asked the CDC for help taking care of lead contamination in several of its aging buildings. On April 3, the district received word that their request had been denied - not because it wasn't valid, but because the entire lead poisoning prevention branch of the agency had been eliminated.

The Trump Administration is busy baselessly firing tens of thousands of federal workers, including thousands of our veterans. Here in Wisconsin, we welcome work and talent.

Markets in chaos, ignoring Trump's pleas to 'stay cool.' Retaliatory tariffs unleashing price increases. No rate cuts rescue from the Fed. So he turns to Republicans in Congress to slash taxes for billionaires — his only play left in the book for the new 'Golden Age.'

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

Trump's cuts put children in danger. The CDC’s Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch, which helped cities like Milwaukee address lead hazards in schools, has been eliminated. Without public health experts, kids at risk won’t get the help they deserve. edition.cnn.com/2025/04/02/h...

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

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.

The new tariffs are estimated to decrease US GDP in the long run while slightly boosting European and Mexican prosperity. The only country that’ll suffer more is Canada. How does that make sense? My @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social Chart

The tariffs are catastrophic. But so too are the abuses of power, so is the corruption, so are the police state tactics, so is the destruction of our health care infrastructure, so are the ways our national security is being endangered, so are the attacks on our core freedoms.
