So now Trump's hired goon for the bureau of labor statistics (the guy who gives us the jobs numbers) is suggesting to suspend monthly jobs reports completely. Total clown country at this point. Humiliating.

Mike Huckabee says Palestinians aren’t starving and they β€œneed ozempic”. This regime is demonic. Pure evil.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

It’s not even
the flippant toneβ€”like they were talking about sports betting.

Or the open contempt
they showed for our European allies.

The worst part is this:
Yemen is being bombed.
And almost no one is talking about it.

The worst part isn’t
that the VP, SecDef, SecState, etc. accidentally added a reporter to the Signal thread.

It’s not
that disappearing messages violate federal law (gov’t communications must be preserved).

It’s not
that our enemies might be listening through unsecured devices & apps.

But it makes sense if his goal is to copy Russia, where the economy is run by a few loyal oligarchs. That would be hard in a large economy with too many actors who can oppose him. So he’s accelerating concentrating money and power into the hands of his loyalists while he crashes the rest out.

It is confusing why Trump would want to intentionally massively shrink the US economy. None of this is due to external circumstances - he is manufacturing a recession.

Ukraine is in this fight, not because they want to be, but because they have to be. At a time when democracy is under assault globally, the choice is simple: stand with those fighting for it or bow to those who seek to destroy it. Trump and Vance have made their choice crystal clear.

Trump and his cronies are not interested in facts or history. They are pandering to the worst instincts of isolationism and authoritarian appeasement, regurgitating Kremlin talking points while undermining America’s credibility on the world stage.

They are fighting and dying to defend their country and to prevent Putin’s expansionist ambitions from threatening Europe and beyond. If anything, it is the United States that should be gratefulβ€”to Ukraineβ€”for holding the line against authoritarian aggression.

They smeared Ukraine with blatant lies, twisted the origins of the war to blame the victim, and pushed Putin’s propaganda while pretending Ukraine is somehow ungrateful for the support it has received.

Instead of standing with a democratic ally fighting for its survival, Trump and Vance chose to berate & demean President Zelenskyy in the most aggressive, undiplomatic, immature way possible.

For anyone trying to spin what happened in the Oval Office today: Let’s be clearβ€”if #Ukraine were looking to surrender, they wouldn’t be in Washington, D.C. meeting with U.S. leadership. They’d be in Moscow, kneeling before Putin.

#Trump is incapable of speaking without #lying.

Due to his ignorance, the central valley of #California was almost catastrophically flooded.

@marcelias.bsky.social: "There is a reason why Trump nominated Kash Patel, Tulsi Gabbard, Pete Hegseth. He wants to humiliate these Republicans, because he knows that once they have voted for these folks, he will own them. They will not have a shred of dignity or standing left."
