Trump has forced American consumers to shoulder the burden of billions in illegal tariffs over the last year. Americans will not be paid back. But instead of apologizing, Trump is imposing new tariffs worldwide for no discernible reason.

🚫🧊 MORE of this, please!

I just heard someone say on TV that use of the term "concentration camps" to describe ICE facilities was "very strong language."
I think ICE's concentration camps are very strong abuses of human rights.

Amazon's tax bill plunges after GOP tax cuts The 87 percent drop is largely due to a more generous depreciation break in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill Act.'

Trump is giving tax cuts to Bezos but none to you.

When being royal and having hereditary power comes with more checks and balances than an elected democracy….

Why is Trump so desperate to revive conspiracy theories about the 2020 election?

Because he’s trying to create the pretext to interfere in 2026.

We see what he is doing and it will not work.

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end.

A British grandmother with a valid visa detained by ICE for 6 weeks.

"So why did ICE detain her, and keep her locked up for so long? ICE officers are paid a bonus every time they detain someone. 'Individual ICE agents get money per head that they detain – the guards told me that,' Karen says."

Powerful MAGA

Let's try this again 👋

Hi Bluesky - I'm Massachusetts' Attorney General. You might know me from suing President Trump nearly 50 times, beating Uber and Lyft in court, or being the first woman of color elected to statewide office in MA.

I officially left X today - help me find my MA people?

The average household lost more than $1,000 to Trump's tariffs.

Now the Court has spoken: this was unlawful all along.

The President owes you an apology - and a refund.

At the end of the day, when every dollar of the massive slush fund of taxpayer money Republicans appropriated to DHS in 2025 is audited, we will find it to be the largest govt fraud scandal in history. In addition to ICE reforms, it will more than justify this shutdown.

we have a completely dysfunctional Court at this point

Wow. What an incredible idea. We should write this system down on paper and call it, say, the Constitution

Jeffrey Epstein Was Vladimir Putin's Wealth Manager, FBI Source Claimed in Newly Released Epstein Files Jeffrey Epstein managed money for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, among other powerful world leaders, one confidential source claimed in FBI testimony

As I keep saying, the Epstein story is an offshore finance story.

And offshore finance is about elite impunity: insistence on their wealth and their persons being protected by the law, but never being subject to the law.

It's the "Every man a King" fantasy made real.

Been hoping to see something like this. Even putting aside my political views, legally, I cannot square (1) basic principles of self-defense, amplified by 2nd Amend law and some state statutes with (2) complying with armed people who can't be identified as genuine law enforcement.

(2) cannot stand.

U.S. Kills 3 in Latest Boat Strike

Trump's and Hegseth's summary executions continue: US military blew up a boat in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing three people. The strike raised the death toll in Trump’s campaign against people accused of drug smuggling at sea to at least 147—each a murder.

It's infuriating that every journalist, since Trump's 2024 campaign, has been incorrectly discussing Trump's tariffs as though they're economic policy. They're not. They're a primitive coping mechanism, employed by a psychopathic toddler to soothe his pain when he feels fragile and wounded.

Texas U.S. citizen was fatally shot by an immigration agent last year during a stop, new records show The death of Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, would mark the earliest of at least six deadly shootings by federal officers since the start of the Trump administration's nationwide immigration crackdown.

Tariffs = Hissy Fit Tax

Hey guys, it seems maybe not great that we’re careening toward another war in the Middle East simply to ensure that the Mad King isn’t embarrassed too much?! This might be why Congress is supposed to be involved in making war too?
