Obama: Imagine if I had done any of this. Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials. Imagine if I had said to law firms that you will not be allowed into government buildings.

It’s unimaginable that the same parties that are silent now would have tolerated behavior like that from me

When are people going to accept the hard truth that this is by design?

It’s as if he’s a Russian asset, trying to destroy America from within.

It is hard to express, without resorting to expletives, how utterly stupid it is to suggest that the United States, world's richest economy with a population of 334 million, should have a bilateral trade balance of zero (no trade surplus, no trade deficit) with every country in the world.

A relief to hear this said. Trump operates from the same untested, blustering ideas he had in the 80s. They weren’t good then and even less so now.

It would be great if BUSINESS LEADERS were prepared to say what they clearly know - that Trump only knows how to run a muscle racket. And here we are.

My hometown paper ☕️💅🏽

Are you tired of winning yet?

Everyone wants there to be a grand scheme behind all of this but the terrible truth is that extremely stupid people are in charge and they have a fanatical devotion to wrong, childlike concepts of society and economics cooked up by right wing radio hosts in order to sell tainted dietary supplements

Federal Judge Allows DOGE to Take Over $500 Million Office Building for Free It’s the culmination of a weeks-long standoff between Elon Musk’s DOGE team and the United States Institute of Peace.

A federal judge did not stop DOGE from gifting itself a $500 million building because it turned out DOGE had already done it on Saturday. www.wired.com/story/judge-...

‘One of the darkest days’: NIH purges agency leadership amid mass layoffs In shock move, four institute directors at the US biomedical agency are removed from their posts.

“This will go down as one of the darkest days in modern scientific history in my 50 years in the business,” says Michael Osterholm, an infectious-diseases epidemiologist at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. “These are going to be huge losses to the research community.”

Trump has already damaged the economy with his abysmal foreign policy and loyalty to special interests, but the worst is yet to come. Trump’s “Day of Liberation” will be remembered like Black Tuesday. He will own the destruction that follows.

Stocks Mark Worst Month in Years as Trump’s Tariffs Loom Markets around the world have wavered as fear and uncertainty over tariffs and trade wars rattle investors. The S&P 500 just recorded its worst month since 2022, shedding 5.8 percent in March.

Don't let anyone tell you tax cuts for the rich cost nothing.

The less revenue we collect, the more the deficit runs up.

The more deficit we run up, the more Republicans will threaten Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

Tax cuts for the rich are the real Ponzi scheme.

Facebook is deleting Historian Heather Cox Richardson’s daily newsletters…

Elon Musk went to Wisconsin where he said the "destiny of humanity" rested on the election. Tonight the voters agreed and rejected his and Trump's undemocratic vision for the country.

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

If Trump & Musk have suffered an unprecedented number of judicial injunctions, it is because they have committed an unprecedented number of illegal actions. We don’t have rogue district judges, we have a rogue president violating the Constitution & breaking the law every day. Watch my statement:

That asshole blew $24 Million dollars and won't learn a thing.

So Speaker Johnson threw a tantrum today & canceled votes for the rest of the week because he couldn’t wrangle enough support to block new parents from voting in Congress. I guess when you don’t get your way, you just shut it down and send everyone home? The American people didn’t elect us to pout.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

Of Course Trump Will Tank the Economy. It’s What Republicans Do. As the president’s “Liberation Day” nears, it’s time to liberate ourselves from the vicious cycle of Democrats having to clean up the GOP’s messes.

One statistic for you:

→ Net jobs created under Clinton and Obama: 33.8 million.
→ Net jobs created under Bush, Bush, AND Trump: 1.9 million.

That is not a typo.

Judge releases detained Venezuelan couple with temporary protected status The judge said the detention of the couple was baseless and unlawful.

“There is no reason why they’re being held,” the judge said.

“If this was a criminal case. … I’d throw you out of my chambers.”

Zack Beauchamp (@zackbeauch ...) posted on X about a man, Alvarado, sent to a Salvadoran torture camp for having an autism awareness tattoo honoring his brother. Alvarado’s sister, Maria, said he has no ties to Tren de Aragua and taught swimming to kids with disabilities. Despite this, ICE detained him in February due to his tattoos, as they were targeting people with tattoos. Maria emphasized Alvarado’s good character, noting the family’s devastation over his unjust detention.

If you don’t think this administration is so incompetent or callous as not to do this, you haven’t been paying attention.

Prices are soaring, your 401k is in the tank, Social Security phone lines are hours long.

Instead of addressing any of that – this administration is picking a fight with Denmark.

On the left: Hegseth's message.

On the right: the applicable CENTCOM classification guide provisions.

This is all very plainly classified at the SECRET level.

They all lied. They should all lose their jobs.

Lawmakers were set to bring over $15 billion back to their home states. Then Congress passed the GOP's government funding bill. Over $15 billion in earmarked funding won't be spent this year. It's vulnerable Republicans and their districts who stand to lose the most.

Well, they lied. Obviously.

Them: “no ‘war plans’ were discussed”

Also, fwiw, Waltz looks like he's absolutely fighting for his life in this interview.
