Trump will Make America Screwed Again.

Only a majority-idiot state would elect a senator who was this much of an idiot.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The president retweeted a post that said the market drop was part of a deliberate strategy. Is that the president's strategy? HASSETT: Heh ha. The bottom line is the president has been talking about tariffs for 40 years. He's allowed to have an opinion. S: So that is his strategy.

“When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another…” The words from the Declaration of Independence resonate now more than ever given Trump.

Exactly what part of Trump's past says anyone should trust him with our economy: His SIX bankruptcies? His felony convictions for cheating in 2016 election? The fact he is the only President since Herbert Hoover to end first term with less jobs than when he took office?!

Quite literally whitewashing the purpose of the Underground Railroad www.washingtonpost.com/investigatio...

Free Trade, zero tariffs Elon vs Full Tariff Trump is going to be interesting to watch. The stakes are enormous for the American People Who comes out on top ? I think unfortunately for the economy, in this case , it's Trump.

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.

“Yes, we deliberately crashed the plane into the ocean, but everything with the evacuation procedure worked very smoothly. So our passengers can take great comfort in that.”

Trump's DHS erroneously sent an email to Ukrainians legally living in the U.S. under a humanitarian program telling them their status had been revoked and they had seven days to leave the country or the "federal government will find you."

Republicans, Independents, and Democrats all want reforms. Trump tapped into people’s rightful anger on one thing: for too many, the status quo wasn’t working. But the answer isn’t to burn it all down. It’s time to build something new that *actually* delivers on the promise of the American dream.

how did you think they made the eggs white

Definitely a sign of rational decisionmaking to be yelling at the world in ALLCAPS.

"'I don’t know how you can say the border is closed and safer than ever and then say there’s an insurrection that needs to be put down,' immigration lawyer Charles Kuck said. 'They’re starting to get pushback from their own voters.'" ICYMI @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social:

More than 1,200 demonstrations were held across the country on Saturday against the policies and actions of President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. See images from some of the protests in California, Florida, Washington, D.C., and more.

Yes, whenever there’s an outbreak of a deadly preventable disease, the first person everyone wants to see is RFK Jr. and his wagon of tinctures and beef-tallow products.

HOWARD MARKS: “This is the biggest change in the environment that I've seen probably in my career. We've gone from free trade and world trade and globalization to this system, which implies significant restrictions on trade in every direction and a step toward isolation for the United States." 🇺🇸

US Senators from every one of these states—AR, TX, KY, MO, OK, MS, TN—(1) approved Trump/Musk/Doge cuts to NOAA and FEMA, and (2) said Calif would need to change its internal policies before getting federal help for LA fire disaster. Every one of these US Senators happens to be MAGA/GOP.

Mark my words and please understand: They erase your history so that they can erase your rights.

Sometimes I remember I wrote this in 2019. "Trump had lived & breathed & preyed on women & contractors for 70 yrs [& had] never been held accountable for his degenerate behavior, business failures, or blatant racism—if for nothing else, Trump can be forgiven for thinking 2016 meant he never would."

The Secretary of the Interior requires his staff to make him cookies and serve him meals. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Swalwell: To Trump I say: Get your ass off the golf course and face the people

Reminder: no matter how many times Republicans say otherwise, there is *no way* they can pay for their proposed tax cuts without gutting Medicaid and other programs that millions of people rely on. Don't believe their lies for a second.

@hcrichardson.bsky.social Downtown Cheyenne, Wyoming state capital

What we're seeing at #handsoff protests nationwide today and what we saw at the ballot box on Tuesday are not unrelated. The public is furious. It will not be silenced. And those who side with Trump and Musk—or refuse to fight back—will be swept out of office.

"We are the guardrails now" – the Raging Grannies (including my mom!) - at Hands Off protest in Madison

a friend sent me this one

NYC’s Hands Off march completely shuts down 42nd Street! #handsoff

#HandsOff SC The crowd was incredible and the passersby honking their horns in solidarity was invigorating. @maddow.msnbc.com

Hundreds of thousands of Americans around the country are showing up for democracy today and standing against Trump and Musk’s reckless agenda!

So proud of Trump stronghold Knoxville, TN for a massive turnout that stretches at least six city blocks! cc @hcrichardson.bsky.social @gtconway.bsky.social @mollyjongfast.bsky.social

Augusta, Maine

Salt Lake City showed up

This is a terrific view of the chicago protest but the crowd was even bigger than this. Tons of spillover into the surrounding streets, too. People are ticked off & determined.

Reminds me that I made up a chant today for the rally: “Hey, hey, Donald J., how many balls did you shank today?”

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

Indianapolis, IN 50501 Hands Off 2025 Protest, 4/5/25

New York Fucking City. A full mile of people filled to the brim. Fascism is going to lose.

People are losing their jobs and savings, prices are rising higher, and the entire economy is on the brink of disaster—but Donald Trump couldn’t care less. His billionaire political donors will be just fine.

WHAT THE F**K!

"Donald Trump and his allies have been using 'anti-Semitism' as a pretext to advance a radical agenda that has nothing to do with Jews at all—and that most American Jews do not support," @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social writes:

Mark Kelly: "This is not surprising. Here's a guy who told Americans to inject bleach into their bodies, who sent a mob to Capitol Hill. And now I think it's fair to say he stands out as singlehandedly destroying more wealth with his bad decisions than anybody else who has ever lived on this planet"
