Karoline Leavitt is a liar, propagandist & accomplice to a criminal regime. “There is never going to be a world in which [Kilmar Abrego Garcia] is going to live a peaceful life in MD because he is a foreign terrorist & MS-13 gang member,” she said w/o evidence about a man who's committed no crime.

Trump’s negative policies & poor treatment of Allie’s & foreigners is deterring foreign travel to the U.S., resulting in the loss of billions of dollars in revenue from visitor & tourist spending. This will all contribute to a self fulfilling prophecy of economic contraction and recession.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

Saw two miniature horses out on a walk around a suburban neighborhood this weekend

Sooner or later, we're ALL going to be Kilmar Abrego Garcia

On this Palm Sunday, I am reminded that retribution is not a Christian value. Regardless of your religious tradition, may we all find love, forgiveness, and redemption.

Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Coachella 2025 last night. So he went from the LA rally to Coachella. He's 83 and fighting like this. This should be an inspiration to all of us. If he can do this, we can all do a little more.

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

The Trump administration said on Friday that it had moved a portrait of former President Barack Obama in a White House hallway and replaced it with a painting of President Trump pumping his fist after the assassination attempt last year.

It's not just you — the administration is pretty obviously being awful, cruel, and dehumanizing *on purpose.* Unfortunately, there's a logic behind it. But we can beat it. My four tips on how to talk about cruelty and scapegoating, from @protectdemocracy.org www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/how-not-to...

Do I have to purchase a Twitter premium checkmark and buy a Tesla to receive the social security I paid into?

The Trump administration is recommending the elimination of the scientific research division at NOAA.

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

NEWS: Consumer sentiment PLUNGED 11% this month to a preliminary reading of 50.8, the second-lowest reading on records going back to 1952. April’s reading was lower than anything seen during the Great Recession.

Yeah so don't go on a cruise ever again if you were thinking about it.

Loved this, “FREE” always tastes so good…

He will be good for the economy, they say? Legal organization challenging Trump’s tariffs is backed by some of the biggest names in conservative politics. Tensions continue to rise as factions within the party begin targeting each other. 😂

My 10 year old sister and I got Social Security payments after my father died from exposure to Agent Orange. It helped my widowed mom when the family lost his income. He paid into it his whole life. They even took it from his check while he was serving in Vietnam. Jeanine can go fuck herself.

Price of eggs hit record high but at least the top 0.01% got even richer yesterday w Trump’s insider trading and market manipulation tariff scheme. But pronouns amirite?

As someone who worked through the supply chain struggles of early Covid and the subsequent fluid rationing after Hurricane Helene, I can confidently tell you this is bad.

It always boggles my mind that I, a journalist, am expressly forbidden from trading stocks, but members of Congress, with vastly greater knowledge of market-moving news, are allowed to profit by front-running markets, and so may profit by in essence stealing from the public they represent.

“It’s the most extraordinary attack on voting rights in American history,” Wilentz said. “This is an attempt to destroy American democracy as we know it. www.democracydocket.com/analysis/the...

"Our father, who art in heaven. Seriously?! W. T. Actual Fuck?" ~ Handmaid's Tale

Donald Trump has destroyed relationships with our allies for no reason. Abhorent.

boosting because good and we need more good

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

This isn’t a trade war against China and the rest of the world. It’s an economic war against working class America.

The Internal Revenue Service's acting commissioner is resigning after reaching a controversial agreement to release immigrants' tax data to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). This is the thirds IRS commissioner THIS YEAR to resign. www.axios.com/2025/04/09/i...

. These government layoffs aren’t about “overspending.” They’re about gutting the IRS, DOJ, and watchdogs so Trump & his billionaire buddies can commit crimes without consequences. They’re not cutting costs they’re cutting accountability. I can’t make this any clearer. .

this really took an unexpected turn after about the second paragraph

Reminder: Tariffs aren't paid by other countries. They're eventually paid by us at the check out line. And they're regressive — taking a higher percentage out of the paychecks of working people than out of the wealthy.

The White House press secretary was asked about the public spat between Elon Musk and Trump's top trade adviser Peter Navarro over Trump's tariffs. Her response: "Boys will be boys."

The United States will now be known as the world’s biggest asshole

Reddit is flooded with small businesses owners getting crushed by tariffs — devastated by the thought of raising prices, firing workers, or closing up shop entirely.

What makes this visual even more stunning is that it was made possible by people who said their #1 concern when voting was the economy. What idiots.

SCOOP: Sen. Brian Schatz is expanding his holds on Trump's nominees to include an additional 50 names — along with a batch of bipartisan foreign affairs bills.

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

While the United States has plenty of real problems to deal with, Trump is ignoring them to manufacture fake emergencies. Why? He wants more power — and in the process, he’s subjecting millions to real harm. America’s actual national emergency is Donald J. Trump.

This is why we’re crashing the economy. Donald Trump is taking tariff advice from this imbecile—Peter Navarro.
