The gold standard for headlines.

roberts et al have divined the Actual Intent of the constitution, which is to allow the government to exercise nearly unaccountable power to strip people of their rights. it is why we fought the revolution!

Protest

Big crowd

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.

Millions of Americans are watching their retirement savings disappear as the market continues to crash and a recession looms.

Donald Trump:

Tweet from user 'Chris Hayes' reads, "The libs were right about Trump and it's only a matter of time until the overwhelming majority of Americans accept it."

He’s worse than most of us even said he’d be. I personally didn’t think he’d crash the economy quite so quickly, but never underestimate his idiocy.

The chaos and crisis is the point, because it justifies declaring an emergency and claiming extraordinary powers. And Republicans in congress are complicit. They could stop this at any point.

“Americans built the richest and most prosperous society ever to exist, and one part of that was the creation of an endless stream of handheld entertainments, which told them they were miserable and impoverished, and consequently the country committed immediate political and economic suicide”

Why is this surprising to anyone? We know that he’s stupid. It’s been incredibly fucking obvious for nearly a decade now.

This. All day long, this.

For any non-attorneys reading this: This is absolutely, definitely, very clearly not okay.

The American people have risen up and they are PISSED AS HELL.
#HandsOff

Millions of people took part in protests against President Donald Trump and Elon Musk across all 50 states and globally on Saturday: cnn.it/4hYKFL3

How Did America Not See This Apocalypse Coming? Trump is doing what he promised on the campaign trail: wreaking economic havoc on America and destroying the rules-based international order. Voters chose him anyway.

Musk is using DOGE to gut Social Security, defund disaster relief, and hand power to billionaires like himself.

Don’t let him get away with it! 🚫🗳️ #FireElonMusk

Good day to remember that DOGE has already lost the US government at least half a trillion dollars this year alone. And likely more.

Pundits hate simplicity. If something is simple you don’t have to have pundit expertise to explain it.

Trump Cabinet now has a public record as the stupidest Cabinet in history.

This isn’t complicated. They are stupid rich people. Any analysis that doesn’t begin with their stupidity is stupid.

AFL-CIO President @lizshuler.bsky.social: “I have not met one person who says, yes, Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos need more tax breaks — and that money should come from my mom’s Medicare, or our Social Security!”

Watching Trump voters crying out in pain like this should be ASMR for us, just like the WH said deportations were like ASMR for them. But we’re not assholes like them, and we don’t actually want anyone to suffer. Not even these fools who totally deserve their self-inflicted wounds.

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

Laura Loomer Is a Warning No one else with direct access to the president has been as outwardly bigoted.

Laura Loomer is a testament to how much further to the right Trump has moved since his first term, and how much further he may be open to going, writes @alibreland.bsky.social.

One really important thing to notice about the tariffs is that there are at least half a dozen explanations **from their proponents** about what they're meant to accomplish. Meanwhile there are another half dozen explanations from their foes. It is highly reminiscent of 2002 during the build up ...

So many hundreds of thousands of words of ink, so many countless hours wasted, explaining how this man was secretly savvy, and it turns out he’s just dumb as a rock, clueless about basic economics, and driven by a malicious paranoia that conniving foreigners are ripping us off

Dear @nytimes.com why is there no coverage of the massive #HandsOff protests across the nation yesterday anywhere on your app. I scrolled through at least 40 articles in various subjects and NOTHING. Shameful.

Republicans in Congress can repeal every tariff tomorrow and take Trump’s tariff authority away from him. But they choose not to. So every Republican in Congress owns EVERY SINGLE BIT of this. You can’t hide from the voters forever.

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.

You can stop asking where the mass opposition is. It's everywhere. People poured out to protest not only what Trump has done—but what they fear he will do next.

Trump administration deports gay makeup artist to prison in El Salvador A gay man with no known criminal record sought asylum in the U.S. He's since become one of 238 Venezuelan migrants deported to a notorious prison in El Salvador by the Trump administration.

60 Minutes could find no criminal records for 75% of the Venezuelans the U.S. sent to a notorious mega-prison in El Salvador. https://cbsn.ws/4clubLP

This is really unfair to everyone who just voted for him for the racism.

So, if you complain about not getting your SS check, that means you’re a fraudster? WTF?

Trump v. Boasberg: If This Isn’t a Constitutional Crisis, What Is? Attorney General Pam Bondi has joined the president's campaign to get the judge impeached. This is attempted dictatorship.

DOGE is not an arm of the government. It’s a quasi-private goon squad taking a machete across D.C., at the personal whims of two billionaire men.
