Trump regime fires commander of Greenland base. Her crime: she told staff Vance’s criticism of Denmark handling of Greenland “are not reflective of” the base. www.bbc.com/news/article... This is second firing of female military leader in 2 days for saying things Trumpies don’t like.

If it weren't for the tariffs, this would be one of the biggest stories right now.

For the homes still standing after the California wildfires, there’s a growing dispute over what damage is covered, and what is or isn't smoke damage. That's led neighbors in the Los Angeles area to band together to crowdsource the information themselves.

Senators Adam Schiff and Ruben Gallego have asked for "an urgent inquiry" into whether President Trump or others engaged in insider trading on advanced knowledge of his tariff policy changes.

The executive targets his opponents w/bogus investigations. His government disappears people w/out due process and vanishes them beyond reach. He usurps legislative power, controls public funds at will, & consolidates power. Loyalty is expected — or else. Authoritarianism isn’t coming. It’s here.

trump’s net approval on his handling of the economy, first and second terms:

You, go!

Judge rules that White House must allow the AP back into the White House press pool, declaring that it could not punish a news outlet for its content. “All the AP wants, and all it gets, is a level playing field.” @zjmontague.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/u...

We’ve entered a golden age of cowardice, full of people and institutions with historically anomalous levels of money and power who are terrified of stating simple truths. It is pitiful and embarrassing.

The Internal Revenue Service has reached an agreement with immigration authorities to share tax information about some immigrants without legal status, marking a major change in how tax records can be used.

Breaking News: The IRS agreed to share information with ICE to help locate people for deportation, court records show. This is a fundamental change in the IRS, which had gained the trust of migrants and encouraged them to file their taxes.

Trump used an emergency powers law to impose tariffs — but that law contains no reference to tariffs and no president has ever used it for this purpose.

Pro tip: If you must accidentally take a sleeping pill instead of the correct pill, do not do it at 5 a.m. the first day of trial.

Firing a DOJ lawyer for admitting a government error when the lawyer’s duty to the court requires exactly that admission is about as wrong as anything can be. Only in the lawless, topsy-turvy world of Trump and Vance is such absurdity imaginable. Yet here we are! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/u...

Read it. Re-read it. Read it to your family and friends. Recognize it for the warning it is. (Think that's an overstatement? Imagine how it is being read by Stephen Miller. By Tom Homan. By Pam Bondi.)

Instead of preventing voters from participating in their democracy, Congress should pass the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to ensure our democracy works for everyone––no matter their gender or zip code. #HandsOffHerVote

This is interesting. Most national pollsters haven’t yet produced surveys on Trump approval post tariff-induced market meltdown. Rasmussen, on the other hand, though they are notoriously skewed to the right, polls every day, rolling tracker style. Here’s their data for the last 10 daily tracks…

Agree w this framing by Sen Schiff. My parallel argument yesterday fallows.substack.com/p/standing-u...

We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?" This is our moment. This is our time. We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

Took our message to St Paul for #HandsOff! Rally

We're at the "I just explained stock market circuit breakers to my husband" stage of this

Welcome !

I really do think we’re well beyond this point. If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.

Were you out here rallying yesterday? How about today?

Our Hands Off rally begins. #indivisble.org

@jaketapper.bsky.social to Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins: "Why are you putting import tariffs on islands that are entirely inhabited by penguins?" Not The Onion. Not comedy. Legit question based on actual policy. This is where we are in America right now...

The people are awake. The people are angry. And the people are organized. 📍 Chicago, Illinois #HANDSOFF

From St. Augustine, Fla., to Salt Lake City to rainy Frankfort, Ky., and across the nation, hundreds of thousands of demonstrators take to the streets to protest Trump and Musk. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/05/u...

Hoooooooo boy

Tbh, I think crashing the economy to distract us all from Signal-gate is taking things too far.

Half the country be lile

That’s the entire point of Trump though. Trump represents the attempt to restore the old social hierarchy where people who look like Obama “knew their place.” The grifting, impunity, rule breaking, and hypocrisy is the point.

Nailed it!

Paul Wellstone used to say "we all do better when we all do better." With Trump, we all do worse.

I don't understand how any member of Congress can look at today and still believe they'd get some terrible backlash and lack of support from introducing an impeachment resolution, or even saying the word. Stop worrying about the nattering pundits who speak for nobody but themselves. Just do it.

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Old meme, but I'm getting a laugh out of "months"

A resistance is born: Saturday's nationwide Hands Off rallies against Trump are reasons for hope. New by me. open.substack.com/pub/robertma...

Hands Off Durham #handsoff

The U.S. Senate confirmed Harmeet Dhillon, a veteran lawyer with a history of attacking voting rights, to lead the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division.

I know a lot of Trumpers who will never change their mind about the orange one, but I also know they hate Musk. Start there…
