Frost: I come from Florida. See, Project 2025 is Florida 2024. We’ve seen this, but we also know how to deal with it. When they disappear, a college student, you take to the streets. When they steal your Medicare, Social Security, and Medicaid, you take to the streets.

Trump officials quietly move to reverse bans on toxic ‘forever chemicals’ EPA bids to change chemical risk evaluations, which could expose public to higher levels of PFAS and other pollutants

Trump's EPA just moved to reverse state and local bans on toxic "forever chemicals" that can lead to birth defects and cancer. 

So much for "Make America Healthy Again." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/apr/05/trump-pfas-toxic-forever-chemicals

This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.

”[Trump] is running a crypto scam where he can receive millions of dollars anonymously. Meanwhile the DOJ has shut down the crypto investigations unit. Truly no corruption scheme like this in our history — at least out of the White House.”

This part

I want to note again how completely insane you have to be for your goal to be a “bilateral trade balance of zero” with every country. Just nutso.

Trump is heading to his golf course today after 20+ tornados hit Arkansas leaving 30,000 without power

“Golden Age”

Thank you GeorgetownLaw!!
This is an excellent list of law firms that have caved to Trump, others that intend to comply with his demands, and those who have the moral fortitude to stand strong against Trump’s attacks.

Clearly he aims to subjugate all the law firms

He explained: "Just figured out where these fake tariff rates come from. They didn't actually calculate tariff rates + non-tariff barriers, as they say they did. Instead, for every country, they just took our trade deficit with that country and divided it by the country's exports to us.

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.

Russia - along with North Korea, Belarus and Cuba (you read that right!) - is a rare exception to Trump’s tariffs. Remember: Trump removed U.S. Intel sharing with Ukraine to force it to accept a ceasefire, which it has. Trump has yet to impose costs on Moscow, which continues to defy any ceasefire.

My hometown paper ☕️💅🏽

Waltz used personal Gmail accounts for official communications: report Report on use of Gmail for government communications comes after national security adviser accidentally added journalist to Signal chat on Yemen attack plans

Another deeply concerning national security lapse.

Waltz's aide used Gmail to "conduct highly technical conversations with co-workers at other agencies, which included sensitive military positions and weapons systems in connection with an ongoing conflict."

Trump lies, the stock market isn't-Trump is costing America everything.

what are the odds he’s just pump and dumping the nasdaq

a man with a crown on his head and a cane ALT: a man with a crown on his head and a cane

Found these old grievances online. Sound familiar?

He cuts off our trade with all parts of the world:
He imposes taxes on us without our consent:
He deprives us in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury:
He transports us beyond seas to be tried for pretended offenses…

This is a @benwikler.bsky.social appreciation post. Great job in Wisconsin. Great job on Maddow. Great job for democracy. Someday I will get a cheese hat.

Can I ask a dumb question: doesn’t the WTO exist - in no small part - so that countries can’t do what Trump just did?

Democratic House Rep. Suhas Subramanyam on Signalgate:

"This is a big problem that the administration has broken these laws and not admitted any sort of fault..more attention paid to what happened, how prevalent it is, and what the administration is actually going to do about it."

Preach!

Tweet from Evan (@esjesjesj) with a profile picture of a person holding a child. The tweet says, "I think 'cancer researcher' is actually a real job." Below, there is a screenshot of a tweet from Elon Musk (@elonmusk) replying to a post from Gunther Eagleman™ (@GuntherEagle...), which features an image labeled "D.O.G.E. CLOCK" displaying a large monetary figure and "SAVINGS PER TAXPAYER" amount. Musk's reply reads, "Because now they have to get a real job 😂."

Musk says government funded jobs aren’t real jobs. Yet his companies survived on government subsidies. (Also, those savings are bogus numbers.)

Marine Le Pen, hand on head, dark suit

France’s far-right leader Marine Le Pen has been found guilty of embezzling European Union funds. She has been sentenced to 4 years in prison and banned from running for public office again. During her previous campaign she was friendly to the Kremlin but recently began to sour on them publicly.

Trump is trying to change the conversation from tariffs, the economy, and the Hegseth scandal. Any conversation about him running for a 3rd term is still 2 years away. He is trying to distract and get the media off of the headlines currently dominating the news cycle. Don't take the bait.
