In 1990, only 1.2% of all guns manufactured were AR15s. Now, >23.4% of all guns made are AR15s & mass shootings with ⬆️ casualties skyrocketed - due to the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban expiring in 2004 & the 2005 Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act giving the gun industry a civil liability shield.

When Trump uses $1 billion of our hard-earned money to buy himself a gold-plated gift, he reminds us all of how he has shredded the Constitution’s two Emoluments Clauses, which he violated from the first day of his first term.

He. Is. So. Unbelievably. Stupid.

I can think of 2 times when leading U.S. officials fled Washington in a panic: August 1814: British forces briefly capture the capital and set fire to government buildings. July 2025: Republicans fear they'll have to vote on the Epstein files, so they adjourn early and run for the hills.

Imagine. If. Biden. Had. Done. This.

Just so incredibly embarrassing

Tom Homan believes he never will be held accountable. He’s just following orders. Sound familiar?

Former 🇺🇸 ambassador to Russia 👇🏽

Guy who has golfed 33 days this year thinks Americans need to work more.

The top .1% stops paying into social security by January 19th. Scrapping the cap would generate up to $388 billion per year and keep Social Security solvent. Social Security is only being depleted because we refuse to make people pay their fair share.

Incredible fail by a smart reporter. Truly. This data has gotten a lot of coverage this week. cc @gregsargent.bsky.social

Israel's attack on Iran, clearly intended to scuttle the Trump Administration's negotiations with Tehran, is further evidence of how little respect world powers - including our own allies - have for President Trump.

“We face an assault on our institutions and norms that, just 10 percent in, is already powerful and likely to get more so. We need to contest this assault right now. But we also need to prepare for where we may well be in a couple of years.” www.thebulwark.com/p/why-trump-...

“.. empty containers have been piling up at the Los Angeles-area seaports .. the idea that a sudden reversal in tariff policy or even a spate of framework agreements to work towards eventual trade deals will instantly put the global supply chain back on track is mistaken.” @joebrusuelas.bsky.social

Here's something everybody should be paying attention to: Congressional Republicans are trying to weaken the Affordable Care Act and put millions of people at risk of losing their health care. Call your Senators and tell them we can't let that happen.

Michael “Mike” Nedd, a 30-year veteran of Bureau of Land Management who serves as deputy director for administration and programs, was removed Tuesday. He had reportedly told career employees to ignore a memo from an appointee of the U.S. DOGE Service.

ANOTHER MUSK FAILURE: After back-to-back explosions, SpaceX launched its mega rocket Starship again on Tuesday evening, but the spacecraft tumbled out of control and broke apart.

SCOOP— FEMA essential functions are at "high risk" of not functioning properly just days before hurricane season because of staffing shortages, per a recent internal memo obtained by The Handbasket. These deficiencies "may disrupt life-saving and life-sustaining program delivery." Full story here:

DOGE has failed at making government more efficient. If they're looking to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, may I suggest President Trump's request for a third Air Force One, a “gift” from Qatar that will cost a fortune to retrofit.

Beneath contempt.

so the members of congress just stopped going to el salvador and not a single person who was illegally sent there has been returned and that’s just how it is now?

If you pay attention to just one thing tonight, make it this

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

Trump announced he wants to cut $163B that would've gone to health care, housing, child care, education, clean energy, nutrition, & research. But he wants $1 trillion for the Pentagon, which has never passed an audit. It was never about waste, fraud, and abuse. It's about making the rich richer.

Nice try, Donald. The law expressly forbids the President from using the tax exemption grant as leverage.

Nothing important here. Just a publicly-traded company disclosing to investors that it’s attempting to bribe the President of the United States by buying his cryptocurrency in order to influence his trade policy.

Senator Angus King (I-ME) reaching to history to recall Senator Margaret Chase Smith (R-ME) and her 1950 stand against what she called "Republican Fascists." (King does not hold Chase's seat; Senator Susan Collins (R) does.)

when you think about it rfk jr. is the pinnacle of the american dream because in what other country can an ex-heroin addict who didn’t go to medical school and gets his science from 4chan become the authority on public health

“Elon Musk is not going after efficiency. He’s not … making things better for Americans. He’s trying to … enrich himself. He is trying to gut everything that is good in America for his own private profit … We will resist. We will prevail. We outnumber them. America is not for sale.” @aoc.bsky.social

Politicians, lawyers and journalists who left behind autocratic systems in Europe, Asia and Latin America see the Trump administration employing similar methods.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about strikes in Yemen to a second unclassified Signal group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said. nyti.ms/4jBQ1wV

ICYMI, DOGE is knitting together data from the Department of Homeland Security, Social Security Administration, and IRS that could create a surveillance tool of unprecedented scope.

38 of the 43. "38 of 43 experts cut last month from boards that review science and research in NIH laboratories are female, Black or Hispanic. "The scientists typically serve five-year terms and were not given a reason for their dismissal..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

Agree

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

Not only are we paying for his golf trips, we're paying him to golf!

The Fascist dictator: “Always right.” “Many enemies…much honor.” “Believe, obey, fight.” That pretty much sums things up in a dozen words. Stream my hour-long special “Rick Steves’ The Story of Fascism in Europe” at www.ricksteves.com/fascism.

Just watched the President's "Liberation Day" speech. Based on this, I can confirm many Americans will be liberated from: - Being able to afford groceries - Much of their retirement savings - Any hope of buying a home As for lower prices? Just the opposite.

DOGE demanded full access to a US Department of the Interior system that handles even the Supreme Court's paychecks. When top staff asked questions, they were put on leave.
