Since the beginning I’ve said that Elon and his DOGE tech bros know the real value in pillaging these federal agencies is in the data, but not to raid your bank accounts.

It’s to influence the outcome of our elections.

Every word he says here is a lie. Every single word. He lies because his voters let him lie.

They’re going to keep pushing until something stops them.

As a reminder that protests don’t end where they start: when news of the Stamp Act first arrived in America in May 1765, most printers reacted by advertising on the premise of “buy now before prices go up.” Took until August/September for even the people most affected to actively turn against it.

I’d love to know how many people in Trumps administration got out of the stock market before he started his trade tantrums

Graphic Truth: Where US automakers get their parts No matter the part, domestic US automakers import huge amounts of each vehicle from abroad.

Even cars manufactured in the US depend on free trade.

It’s a recalibration of economic control.

Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way.

When the dust finally settles, they will own more.

The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

Stock market in complete limbo, retirement savings disappearing, farmers facing devastating uncertainty… and he went golfing.

If he ran a company the way he ran the country this weekend, he’d be fired.

It’s only going to get worse, folks.

Make America Sick Again RFK Jr.’s War on Public Health Is Putting Lives at Risk

The government is slashing public health jobs, gutting vaccine programs, and fueling a measles comeback. This is not reform—it’s sabotage.

Last night I wrote about Abrego Garcia’s case. Today, SCOTUS confirmed it’s true. Even though their stay is just temporary, he remains in cruel & unusual conditions in a foreign prison with no recourse. It could happen to any of us. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-a...

Respectfully my friend, it’s NOT just the fault of one man. It’s the fault of an entire political party that bowed like cowards to this one man. And it’s the fault of way too many of his voters who allowed him to lie to them every single day for the past 10yrs. They ALL own this.

Bill Ackman freaking out about tariffs and saying "this isn't what we voted for" is as clear a crystallization of conservative self-delusion as you could ever ask for. Yes it is you idiot, you voted specifically for this! He talked about this NON STOP

Election Wizard @ElectionWiz • 24m HAPPENING: For the first time in 4 years, crude oil prices have dropped to under $60. Crude Oil Futures NYMEX: CLW00 59.94 usD - 13.19 (-18.04%) + year to date Apr 6, 8:55 PM EDT • @MAGAFRV Follow Now that's what I voted for!

A sudden drop like this—especially during a global selloff—isn’t a sign of strength.

It signals collapsing demand expectations, fear of recession, and market instability.

This isn’t prosperity, it’s a warning.

Not joking: as of today Donald Trump is the absolute greatest destroyer of wealth the country has ever had

Ep 121 — Trump’s Tariff Math … It’s Dumber Than You Think Podcast Episode · Law and Chaos · 04/04/2025 · 1h 6m

What the hell are tariffs, and why is Donald Trump so bad at them? Also: is the president breaking the law by raising taxes, when it's *Congress's* power to raise taxes? (Yes.)

It's all in today's episode of Law & Chaos with @lizdye.bsky.social

How Kennedy is already weakening America's childhood vaccine system The Department of Health and Human Services cut $2 billion from a program that supports vaccines for vulnerable children, forcing public health departments to lay off staff and cancel clinics.

Children will die.
Unvaccinated children can pass the disease to vulnerable too-young-to-be vaccinated babies: siblings, or strangers in the restaurant.
This is all so so preventable and all so so predictable.
