The cover of this week’s Economist.

It’s incredible that now the *best case* scenario is basically Trump engaging in a humiliating climb-down, but having already inflicted permanent damage and uncertainty that never be undone.

"One NATO official, when asked for a reaction to the plan, replied, 'Did Putin write this for him?'...ā€ www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

"Multiple sources told CNN that as Hegseth has grown increasingly paranoid about the potential of leaks to the media within the Pentagon and has begun largely depending on a small circle for counsel, including his wife..." www.cnn.com/2025/04/23/p...

NEW: Harvard Faculty of Arts & Sciences announces pay freeze through 2025-26 academic year as well as "pausing all non-essential capital projects and spending" to conserve resources for lengthy legal battle.

Trump has no idea how to deal with Putin on war and no idea how to deal with Xi on trade. Total clown show.

Trump and Republicans are gearing up to eliminate Head Start programs, which provide vital childcare to nearly 1 million kids. SNAP, which helps feed nearly 14 million children, is also on the chopping block. And they wonder why more people aren’t having children. Hello?

Have I shared this yet? If so, once is not enough!!!

The EPA is firing employees focused on children’s health simply because their job descriptions include DEI. These 10 regional children’s health coordinators have worked closely with schools and local institutions to prevent and address environmental hazards that put kids at risk.

The Trump administration has given Wall Street executives early notice of an impending trade deal with India, Fox Business’s Charles Gasparino reported. I.e., Donald Trump is doing insider trading again.

House Rep. Gerry Connolly is pushing CDC leadership to explain why the personnel who handle FOIA requests lost their jobs, noting that that the public has a right to access federal records.

Trump's approval rating is tanking just like the economy.

Toddlers are representing themselves in immigration court. The Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), passed in 1952 & upheld in 2018, says these children don’t have the right to an attorney. This administration is taking advantage of this. This law must be changed. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

The people trying to ruin these folks' lives are evil.

22 states and the District of Columbia are suing Trump and his regime. Come on, people! We can do better than this.

BREAKING: The Interior Dept just used a fake ā€œenergy emergencyā€ to greenlight gas and mining projects on public lands. It’s a lie. There is no energy emergency. This is a giveaway to big oil.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says her government plans to ban advertisements from the Department of Homeland Security, which show Secretary Kristi Noem warning migrants not to enter the United States illegally.

"Home-growns are next." We cannot let the 24 hour news cycle forget what Donald Trump wants to do with American citizens. Spread the word.

"Unfortunately for Tesla, the great disruptor of the automotive industry is beginning to feel a lot like a ā€œlegacyā€ car company, struggling to figure out what’s next and getting lapped by newcomers." www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

So let me understand this, the orange felon decided to hurt Americans with his trade war tariffs and is now caving to China because he didn’t think they’d retaliate. He’s a dangerous stupid con artist.

So the Republican Party has historically blocked: -Paid sick leave -Paid family & medical leave -Universal childcare -Universal pre-K -Expanded Child Tax Credit -Programs to support reproductive health And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

This is the stupidest argument - in that time period the people with the money were Carnegie, Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, Astor and a few others. The rest of America was horrifically poor. "WE" didn't have more money, the robber barons did.

What folks love about @repjasmine.bsky.social is simple—she keeps it real. No sugarcoating, no political gymnastics. She says what the rest of us are thinking but don’t have the mic to say out loud. She’s right—this is a ā€œnightmareā€. And we need more voices like hers, calling it out—no apologies!

1. Jose Hermosillo is US citizen who was wrongly jailed in an immigration detention facility for 10 days The administration says he "turned himself in" to the Border Patrol and told them he was a Mexican who crossed the border illegally. I interviewed Hermosillo. He says the government is lying.

ā€œHe did say he was a U.S. citizen, but they didn't believe him,ā€ Layva said. ā€œI think they would have kept him..." www.azpm.org/p/headlines/...

šŸ“ŒBREAKING: ā€œ60 Minutesā€ Executive Producer Bill Owens, resigns saying, ā€œOver the past months, it has become clear that I would not be allowed to run the show as I have always run it, to make independent decisions based on what was right for ā€˜60 Minutes,’ right for the audience.ā€ šŸ“ŒCHILLING

Breaking News: Three federal prosecutors who worked on the criminal corruption case against Mayor Eric Adams said that they would resign rather than admit wrongdoing in refusing to abandon the case, according to an email obtained by The New York Times.

So, so tragically careless with human lives. Like when he was separating kids (some of them babies!) from their families and erasing all chances of reunification by losing track, or never keeping track. šŸ˜”https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/22/us/venezuela-immigrant-disappear-deport-ice.html

Rinse and repeat for the foreseeable future.

The Channel Islands are one of California's greatest treasures. Yesterday, I got the chance to visit them. The exquisite beauty, the unique wildlife found only there, right off our coast. We must protect these lands for generations to come.

Remove him. Now.

When it comes to Trump’s harmful tariff war, White House officials are not playing chess, and not even checkers, they are playing Magic 8 Ball. 1. Start disastrous tariff war 2. Say oops, the tariffs are ā€œunsustainableā€ 3. Now ask countries, will you please, please do a deal?
