Incredible achievement that the one price that the Trump administration has brought down notably is "cocaine."

Now THAT's a cease and desist letter

I'm down with people with qualified immunity beating other people with qualified immunity. That works for me. 😉

Remember the wonderful Biden economy. Last January, the expected US economic growth was 2.5-3%. But now we have the Trump economy. Yesterday, the US Fed cut its US growth forecast from 1.7% to 1.4%, but it is likely to fall further. Trump & his supporters are to blame.

I'm so over this lying, puritanical pixie.

I'm Dr. Annie Andrews. I’m a pediatrician, not a politician. But either way I know how to handle people who are full of sh*t. Today I am announcing my campaign for US Senate to replace Lindsey Graham. Share this if you're with me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8wM...

Great work as always, JD.

"Kids don't need toys. Or vaccinations. Or education. They need generational factory jobs." -- actual Trump administration positions in the year of our lord 2025

So according to Trump the stock market when Biden was president was Trump’s stock market, but the stock market while Trump is president is Biden’s? Makes sense.

the entire democratic party needs to bury every clinton consultant at sea and just go pritzker mode. how much bigger a softball can they give you than a suit saying “we want your entire lineage in factories forever”

A U.S. law bars the State Dept. from $$$ support of “'units of foreign security forces' — which can include military and law enforcement staff in prisons — facing credible allegations of gross human rights violations." Such as the money going to El Salvador's CECOT? [@arianalfigueroa.bsky.social]

Factory jobs are back, baby! Back to laying off workers, like they were doing when Trump’s brain froze in the 80s. What’s more American than Mack Trucks? And yet, the tariffs cost jobs instead of creating them! Put a “businessman” in the White House!

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US. When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

As far as I'm aware, the first documented spike in data leaving an agency after DOGE infiltration. Extensive forensic evidence. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Holy shit. Video posted by President Bukele’s team on X shows the moments before his press conference with Trump in which Trump tells him: “We want to do homegrown criminals next. You gotta build about five more places.” (h/t @titonka.bsky.social @michelekelemen.bsky.social)

Gallego also placed holds on all VA appointees today. There's not really a single appointee that should be cleared for the floor without a hold. (Which is just an intent to filibuster, it can be voted past, but it takes time) Courage is contagious.

I’m reconsidering my sympathies too.

You have to see this. PoliticsGirl and her husband teamed up with the brilliant Timothy Snyder (author of On Tyranny) and the legendary John Lithgow to create something truly powerful. It’s important, it’s urgent—and it needs to be shared far and wide.

President Trump has mentioned the name “Biden” 6.32 times a day on average during his first 50 days back in office, a New York Times analysis shows. It's among his most frequently used terms: He has said “Biden” in more speeches than he has said “America,” for example.

Whiskey leaks

uhhhh it looks like Dems just flipped a R+17 Pennsylvania State Senate seat in Amish country…

1. People routinely put their coffee cups on the side of the screening machines and thus they don't go through screening. Does this create a security issue?

From an operational security perspective, this is the highest level of fuckup imaginable. These people cannot keep America safe.

Yet another good question. There's a reason national security principals are given phones. You can't even load Signal onto a government phone. (Well, you could try, but it's, ah, inadvisable.)

In 25 years of covering national security, I’ve never seen a story like this: Senior Trump officials discussed planning for the U.S. attack on Yemen in a Signal group--and inadvertently added the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Oh.

Trudy Rubin at the Philadelphia Inquirer gets to the point. www.inquirer.com/opinion/ukra...

“Polestar wants to deliver the final blow. … Polestar is offering anyone who owns or leases a Tesla $5,000 off a lease on a brand new Polestar 3. Combined with their latest $15,000 Polestar Clean Vehicle Incentive, any Tesla driver can buy a Polestar 3 for a whopping $20,000 off.”

Why did Trump repeat Russian propaganda and lie about this? Why would he claim that a Ukrainian army in Kursk could only be saved from annihilation if Putin benevolently agreed to Trump’s request not to do so? Why is the US President deceiving Americans with Russian lies?

NEW: I helped Brian Krebs trace the background of one of Elon Musk's top loyalists, Branden Spikes, head of IT at X, who spent 2 mo at DOGE. Spikes and his ex-wife were involved with Russian diaspora websites and groups linked to pro-Kremlin KSORS players, Russian state media while he was at SpaceX.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."
