As Americans go hungry, Trump’s out golfing on your dime using your tax dollars. Don’t worry, it’s only about $3–4 million per trip.

Missing the days when, if a scary masked man approached us on the street, WE pepper sprayed HIM, not the other way around.

“In the aftermath of Charlie Kirk’s murder, Trump’s DOJ deleted a study from its site stating right-wing violence ‘continues to outpace all other types of terrorism & domestic violent extremism’ in 🇺🇸 — The study was available online until Friday.” newrepublic.com/post/200537/...

I used to read books like Lord of the Rings or watch movies like Star Wars and think the villains were unbelievable. And of course, now watching the tech oligarchs (who could not spend all their money if they tried) destroy civilization for power, I’m like, guess I was wrong. People are that awful.

Seriously. What most humans with an ounce of morals and dignity consider inappropriate is most likely a normal day at work for her.

Money & power can't buy class or good taste.... This is how people decorate when they want people to think they have money and are sophisticated. But are really quite the opposite.

I’m beginning to think it’s not drag queens or trans people who are the problem…

But we “can’t afford” pediatric cancer research.

Every Republican that promised you the Epstein files is now actively hiding them.

😔

Pam Bondi in February: The Epstein client list is sitting on my desk right now to review.

Pam Bondi today: There is no Epstein client list and no "further disclosure" of Epstein-related material "would be appropriate or warranted."

We’re in another Middle East war. I’m reflecting on the fact that it’s easy to start a war, difficult to end it. There’s often war optimism, so it’s unlikely to end with bomb strikes today. Lastly, I’m troubled that Trump’s national security team is who we have running this war.

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Guys, it's the oligarchs. If you want to blame someone for 2024, blame the oligarchs. Anyone telling you to blame someone else is part of the oligarchy. Dark money has been to blame since citizens united.

😕

These pro life people certainly have a thing for treating humans like shit.

Yes, I'm pissed about the jumbo jet too. But this is actually the most important story today.

Art of the Deal!!

Art of the deal is raising the tariff to 145% then cutting it almost in half despite the fact that China has made no concessions and has completely ignored you. Xi just sits back at laughs at our orange clown.

The current president Is A Mob Boss.

WATCH — @timmiller.bsky.social : “The Trump crypto corruption is now off the charts… the only rationale for doing a $2 Billion deal with Trump’s shitcoin is you want to bribe the president. We have a bribery scheme with Abu Dhabi and the Trump family.”

Trump surrenders again.

I've discovered that if you regularly fall asleep while watching, you can rewatch 3-4 times and still find new scenes and episodes

🚨 NEWS: The White House confirms the tariff on Chinese imports is now 145%—not 125%.

Reminder: tariffs are taxes on imported goods, which means Americans end up paying more.

Live: Speaking on Trump, Musk, and America’s Moral Moment on the Senate Floor | Senator Cory Booker YouTube video by Senator Cory Booker

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

The Trump administration announced that 10,000 employees of the Department of Health and Human Services would be fired.
