Since Trump is illegally “deporting” US citizens, without warrants, due process, nor authorization from Congress…this action constitutes “human trafficking “ and he should be on trial. Furthermore, many of Trump’s victims are treated with cruelty which further exacerbates his legal predicament.

@billshaner.bsky.social reports from the scene of a brutal ICE arrest in Worcester, Massachusetts: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

This is Gunner. He is a big strong dog who happens to not be able to sleep until he's tucked into bed with two pillows and his Eeyore stuffy. 13/10

Trump said he would cut costs, but 100 days in, federal spending has actually increased. Meanwhile, essential services are being gutted and Americans are footing the bill for Trump’s grift.

It’s true

Sen. Chris Murphy on the U.S.-Ukraine mineral agreement: "It's nonsense...This agreement doesn't really mean much if Russia continues to own eastern Ukraine...Trump's policy is to hand Ukraine to Vladimir Putin. In that case, this agreement isn't worth the paper it's written on."

The list could go on and on….and on. But here are 5 diabolical, disastrous, deplorable, detrimental dumb decisions by Don.

The US health care system is broken & wildly expensive. The function of a health care system is not to provide billions in profits for insurance & drug companies. It is to provide quality care as a human right. The time is NOW to pass Medicare for All.

Cooper: Wow, his image is being shown on a monitor.. that's why you hear people actually applauding. They're applauding President Zelenskyy when he appeared on some of the Jumbotrons

Our cover this week.

Trump might circle the wagons for Hegseth - or he might throw him under the bus and declare victory. If the latter, he might be thinking something like this. Today's Morning Shots from @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social and @eggerdc.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/when-will-...

…there has been a void of consciousness in the masses that wants “others” to do the heavy thinking. Verve and drive have been dormant. We can’t allow our spirit to be smothered by narcissistic opportunists. An “awakening” is beginning to germinate in America to combat complacency and corruption.

I’m honored to be named Advocate of the Year for the 29th Annual Webbys! Every day, I fight to make sure our communities are seen, heard, and protected—so to be recognized for that work at the Webbys means the world. Follow along on Monday, May 12 at #Webbys.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

It's working! Let's speed it up and kill his brand. He must learn the lesson that empathy and social responsibility are fundamental for success in Western society

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

Horrific.

Cuddling a water sausage.

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.

Sanders: We look to these law firms who have hundreds of well-paid lawyers to defend the constitution, to defend the rule of law. They were more interested in getting millions of dollars from their lobbying.. They should be ashamed of themselves.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants. So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House. The hypocrisy is outrageous.

Rep. Steven Horsford to Greer: "So the trade representative hasn't spoken to the POTUS about a global reordering of trade, but yet he announced it on a tweet? WTF! Who is in charge? It looks like your boss just pulled the rug out from under you. There is no strategy ... is this market manipulation?"

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Raskin: We even have the right to call the president deranged for crashing our economy, destroying $6 trillion of wealth and turning our 401(k) Into a 201 (K). And the press has the right to call the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of Mexico.

Meanwhile, South Korea has successfully impeached their president www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

This is a real exchange I just had:

Trump not only ignores common wisdom that tariffs are actually taxes on us…but he’s even baffling penguins and polar bears…this is like a demonic plague descending on the planet. No one is safe.

🤦🏼‍♂️🤡😳🤦🏼‍♂️🤡😳🤦🏼‍♂️🤡😳🤦🏼‍♂️

The only thing being liberated today is money from the bank accounts of hard-working Americans.

Crockett: To have the sitting AG go on Faux News and decide that she wanted to send a threat to me was wrong.. I don’t like Elon Musk. I’m going to say it 50,000 times.

Walz: It's like trump is stuck in the 80s. His music, his clothing, his thinking. I think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country that Donald Trump understands anything about business. He's bankrupted every single one he's been into, and now he's bankrupting this country

we're living a journey in time. Back to the 1930s.

This was….five months ago

Trump and his family stand to gain substantially from their corrupt crypto ventures. The rest of the economy will be subject to large and unregulated risks. Beware. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-crypto-inc

Wow. Rep. Jake Auchincloss minces no words about Signalgate on Piers Morgan: “Pete Hegseth is lying to the American people, lying to Congress, lying to the military.” “It’s incompetence incarnate…It’s embarrassing & it’s dangerous.” This is how it’s done.
