Paul the other one...

It was never about saving money—or rooting out waste, fraud, and abuse.

Musk bought himself a presidency, and in exchange, Trump handed him the keys to our government so he could tear down anything in his way, siphon off our data w/his hackers, and line his pockets w/more fat government contracts.

My law firm is currently litigation 47 voting and election cases in 20 states. Democracy is still on the docket and it is winning.

Pam Bondi claimed that seizing 22 million fentanyl laced pills (questionable) saved over 119 million lives, and James Surowiecki humorously pointed out that she is claiming that without her efforts, one third of Americans would've died.

OK, I needed a good laugh today.

🚨 BREAKING: SPENDING SOARS IN TRUMP'S 100 DAYS

Trump promised to cut SPENDING. Then blew through $220 billion more in his first 100 days than the same period under Joe Biden, according to official records.

But sure, he’s “fiscally responsible.” Where the hell is DOGE when you need it?

Walz: So, it's 100 days of just crap.. we’ve got 500 plus till the midterms, but the work has started

Raising the income cap on Social Security taxes could fix up to 73% of its funding gap—without cutting benefits or raising the retirement age. Tax millionaires fairly, protect working families. #SocialSecurity #FairShare #MuskMyth

Disability protection groups in two states pause services after missing federal funds "We are fighting for our very survival."

State organizations that advocate for disabled residents in New Jersey and Arkansas announced that they will have to limit their work after not receiving the full funds they are owed by the US federal government.

This is what fascism looks like.

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.

We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

Stop what you’re doing & listen to this!

Canada has $350 Billion in US Treasury bonds.
Prime Minister Carney met with other world leaders to coordinate a slow burn on Treasury bonds. After Trump rang Carney, he postponed the tariffs for 90 days.
He hasn't mentioned the 51st state ever since.
Every American owes Canada $1000.

Given the literal definition of deportation is removing a foreigner or noncitizen from the country, we - journalists, media orgs - should probably all stop referring to the ‘deportation’ of a 2 year old US citizen. It’s NOT a deportation.

I’m not sure what it is. A kidnapping?

Thousands of countries are knocking on the door, thousands!

Mike Waltz on the war in Ukraine:

"Just 100 days ago, Biden and his team had no end in sight."

Uh.

There is no end in sight under Donald Trump.

Bro's literally begging Putin and Russia to stop bombing Ukraine via social media posts.

🙄

He’s so good at this.

Hegseth Set Up Signal on a Computer in His Pentagon Office The app facilitated communications in a building where cell service is poor and personal phones are not allowed in some areas.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had the consumer messaging app Signal set up on a computer in his office at the Pentagon so that he could send and receive instant messages in a space where personal cellphones are not permitted, according to two people with knowledge of the matter.

Last place. Loser.

Enough is enough.

U.S. Texts Barnard Employees and Asks if They Are Jewish A questionnaire from a federal commission also inquired about whether professors and other college staff members had been harassed.

Ah yes, the government asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews. No way that could go wrong www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/n...

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND A SUPERSTATUTE AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNDO IT.

sincerely,

a constitutional law professor who also teaches employment discrimination

these people hate DEI because they would be unemployable in any system where they couldn’t rely on favoritism and nepotism

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

The same shit, different assholes

Trump Meets His Match: The Markets The president has softened his economic and trade stances in the midst of market turmoil.

Surrendering to Russia, losing to China and tanking the US economy. Aren’t Presidents supposed to work FOR the country they lead?
