If you can’t sell your soybeans because of Trump’s tariffs after Argentina stepped in and took your customers, you can take solace that the guy you voted for also just gave $20 billion of your tax dollars to the country that is bankrupting you.

Is the growing Demcratic big tent big enough for fairly recent ex-Republicans? www.thebulwark.com/p/can-a-repe...

WTF is this video? It is the pure engorged id of MAGA. For Noem — and Trump, and Miller, and Hegseth, and Patel — the brutality is a made-for-tv movie. It’s entertainment. And they get off on the raw, naked will to power. open.substack.com/pub/charlies...

So here is my question. Let’s assume Miller & Co. are successful, i.e., they deport, jail, kill, all of the “undesirables.” What do they think society is like then? Like, what happens when they realize there’s still crime, drugs, and no one around to do half the jobs, from manual to skilled labor?1/

DOGE savaged government services. Costs went up.

Focusing on the ridiculous veneer is a mistake because the substance of Trump's speech was as serious as a heart attack. The entire senior leadership of America’s military has been put on notice. www.thebulwark.com/p/its-a-war-...

Ah, see, Mehdi, this is where you're wrong: *Their* rules apply *only* to the people *they* want to apply them to.

This is a significant development. The military is leaking against Hegseth and the Trump administration.

Jessica: The guy who drove up to the Mormon church… was a Trump supporter. He had a Trump-Vance flag in his backyard… When the shoe is on the other foot and you can't demonize the left for this one, they say nothing.

If you voted for Trump for economic reasons, you got got.

If Tom Homan was a Democrat and a Democratic admin dropped his bribery charge, James Comer would’ve already issued a hundred subpoenas and been on Fox 75 times.

Aaaand this is why Bondi has dismantled the public corruption unit at DOJ. It’s now pay to play

See ya Hubbell.

Thank you Michael Fanone. For those who do not recognize the name, Michael is one of the officers who defended America on January 6th and was left permanently injured as a result. He is a true hero of our Democracy.

Wow so wonderful to see this. Thanks for sharing.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu: “Under the Trump administration, groceries are less affordable, housing is harder to build, cures for cancer are farther away, and good news on our economy has been as hard to find as the Epstein list.”

They brazenly lie and insult your intelligence. Every day. If you’re not offended, it can only mean one thing. You don’t have any.

Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs is rambling on about how bad crime is in DC so he can justify deploying the national guard, while his own FBI Director claims crime is the lowest it’s been in decades. When concocting a charade, it’s important to get your lies in sync.

Me listening to this divorced reality description of the early days of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

These guys are rattled

When my dad got a surprise diagnosis of the stage-four cancer that would kill him one month later, the very first thing on our frenetic to-do list was ask who at work had helped him cover up the fact he had openly lived into his late seventies.

"Trump, the self-styled alpha male, is in reality the weakest kind of leader – a man for whom every slight is a mortal wound, every criticism an unforgivable sin.” He's a snowflake. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/the-worlds...

Dr. Jill Biden has a doctorate in education, not a medical degree in oncology. But thanks for coming to remind us how deep the ignorance runs in the Trump family.

What credibility? He has none.

Oh.

I’m heartbroken and angry about the Biden news. It’s just not frickin fair. Read More:

Moments to pause

Trump's ugly nonsense about the "genocide" of white farmers in South Africa suggests he's tapped into an internationalized version of white genocide theory that long festered on the far right and has now become mainstream. New piece from me digging into all this: newrepublic.com/article/1953...

Despite swearing otherwise just months ago, Republicans have now revealed their plan to take Medicaid away from millions of Americans. There has to be accountability - for the harm and for the lies.

Groups of lawyers gathered outside courthouses nationwide today to reaffirm their oaths to Constitution on a national "law day of action" - amid demonization of courts and law firms Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) spoke at gathering at Supreme Court: "Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered"

"Giving the bully your lunch money doesn’t make him leave you alone. It shows him you’re an easy mark, and encourages him to come back for more...As history teaches, appeasing fascists does not work." Good @nicholasgrossman.bsky.social look at what anti-Trump forces can learn from first 100 days:

Donald Trump on the GDP declining during his first 3 months in office: “You probably saw some numbers today. I have to start off by saying that’s Biden, not Trump.”

Leaving this here without comment

This is 💯 Trump’s stock market. Biden left him stock markets at a record high, a strong US dollar, healthy GDP, significant job growth and plateauing inflation. In 100 days, Trump turned it all into a dumpster fire. There is no boom coming. Only pain.

Jessica: Take a lesson out of your own playbook and admit that this is going badly. Take the L. The Democrats are up 4-7 points on the generic ballot. Do you think that means Donald Trump is doing a good job?

Jessica: He has the lowest approval rating of any president in the last 70 years for the first 100 days…  He continues to beat a drum that is making the absolute worst economic music I have ever heard in my entire life.

There’s one way you go from the creator of a “hostile and political act” to a “terrific, good guy” in mere hours: you get on your knees and crawl.

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession. Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months. Gotta be some kind of record.

“We have a Sec of Ed who hates teachers and schools. We have a Sec of Transportation who hates public transit. We have an AG who hates the Constitution. We have a Sec of State—the son of naturalized citizens, a family of refugees—on a crusade to expel both from our country.” JB Pritzker More here:

Just when we thought Amazon might actually have a tiny sliver of integrity.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Hey Trump Voters, You know you screwed up. You just think if you don’t admit that you screwed up, that we won’t know that you know you screwed up. We know. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/trump-vote...

For those of you keeping score: When President Biden left office, the stock market had risen to a healthy 43,487. Since trump launched his stupid trade war, the stock market has plummeted to 37,958, just 77 days later. He is a fucking IDIOT. Any questions?
