This perfectly describes both the Trump presidency and the Republican Congress. The only true thing he said today.

Trump has halted or dropped enforcement actions against 160+ corporations, including: -42 consumer protection cases at CFPB -20 foreign bribery cases at DOJ -6 employment discrimination cases at EEOC -7 crypto cases at SEC It's a new golden age for corporate criminals.
Amen to that!! If people put everyone through their own little purity test we will never ever win again

🚨Georgia is ramping up another voter purge. The state just launched an audit targeting people with P.O. boxes, those living in group homes, and even voters over 105 years old. If flagged, voters risk being kicked off the rolls. Keep your vote safe. Read more here:
"'When people realize there’s this army—at the expense of other programs for vulnerable people and debt future generations will pay for—that’s when people will wake up and the so-called resistance will realize what’s going on.'"
The Trump administration is afraid of highly trained, professional, impartial law enforcement officers and agencies. And you should be afraid that they're afraid of those things.
These are not serious people
What's in the Trump/GOP big, ugly bill? -Tax cuts skewed to the rich -Medicaid & SNAP cuts -Public land sell off -Big Oil tax loopholes -Blocks state and local regulation against AI -More money for defense contractors The oligarchy's wishlist.
Sneak preview of Pete Hegseth’s 8AM press conference tomorrow: “Warfighter” “Lethality” “Boys” “Men” “Mission” “Patriots” “Leadership of President Trump’ “Deep State” “Woke” “Fake News” “DEI” “Biden”
Trump promised peace through strength and all we got is new and escalating wars through weakness. But I have every confidence he will issue more very stern warnings on Truth Social to solve everything.
BREAKING The administration of California Governor Gavin Newsom is asking Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to rescind his order and return the National Guard to the control of the State of California.
I had been working on this for the past couple of days. It's extra funny now. www.muellershewrote.com/p/capitulati...

Powerful.
I mean, it's not like we didn't point out that a loudmouth drunkard with poor impulse control and a history of abuse wouldn't make a great SECDEF...
The Pentagon is in "total chaos" and Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and missteps at the highest levels of the department. "The building is in disarray." www.politico.com/news/2025/04...
Nobody is saying this. They have to conjure up imaginary libs to argue with since they can’t win a debate with real ones on this issue.
But our Transportation Secretary was doing Newsmax interviews yesterday about Trump’s policy on shower heads and dishwashers.
The only claim that is misleading is that non-citizens are voting en-mass..this is a non issue! Stop suppressing voters based on lies. www.brennancenter.org/series/votin...
Yeah so don't go on a cruise ever again if you were thinking about it.
Read this: how is it not a national scandal that the head of SSA withheld services from Maine because the Governor disagreed with Trump about trans rights?
Even Trump’s Bibles they sold for $60 to the rubes were Made in China for $3.

Look at the countries hit by Trump’s tariffs. Not Russia
First nationwide protest since inauguration where I’ve seen TV anchors, lawyers, etc urging people to join. At least in DC people seem desperate to find an outlet to object to what’s happening
Jim expresses my thoughts perfectly. Thank you Jim, well said.
MSNBC just showed a montage of world leaders calling the USA idiotic, illogical, hostile, unhinged.... literally never seen anything like this. From the shining city on a hill to an object of global derision and contempt.
"Every drop of the stock market. Every lost job. Every price increase. Every piece of macroeconomic bad news. Trump owns it. It was caused by him. But also: Rail against any exemptions Trump grants as the worst form of cronyist corruption."
The purpose of these tariffs is to be able to lift them to those who bow down to him and sacrifice their dignity. That is what he did to the GOP, the billionaires, and is doing now to Big Law. Those who stand up will be punished, those who bend a knee and humiliate themselves will be rewarded.
Cory Booker's magnificent performance reminds us that the history of the next few years is very likely. to be delivered by unexpected leaders doing the unexpected, leaders who capture the public imagination and clearly understand this moment and what the American people need.
To note one of the many knock-on effects this remarkable speech could have: So much of Booker's speech is, in content and form, a challenge about how much Democrats are willing to put themselves on the line. And the timing, 4 days before a Saturday of planned national protests, couldn't be better.
Records are meant to be broken. Congrats @booker.senate.gov for stepping up and standing up for the American people. Blazing your own path for the W 👏👏👏👏👏
Just try stuff!
Bravo.
Easy. The banks did. And the GOP did their bidding.

Trump hates American democracy. He hates open societies. He’s jealous of Xi and Putin. He wants America to be like Russia and he’s doing everything he can to make it so.
I had legit completely forgotten this.
I'm not saying anything novel here but it really is just truly despicable to watch them use THEIR OWN COLOSSAL SCREW UP to slander the reporter THEY INCLUDED ON THEIR CLASSIFIED GROUP CHAT

This should tell you all you need to know.

He says this without having one shred of evidence. It's total bullshit. And it is driving US policy and will wreck the lives of millions of Americans.
Hello he lied
Weaponizing the DOJ to go after your enemies… How very fascist.
The 100 lowest-paying major US corporations spent $522B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2023. Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay. The typical worker at these companies earned just $34k. Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $14.7M. See the problem?
As DOGE aggressively shreds government agencies, why are employees earning six figure salaries ? fortune.com/2025/03/05/d...
Any politician talking about "balancing the budget" without raising taxes on billionaires is lying to you and counting on your blind obedience.
That about describes it, yes.

Tom Friedman: "This is a total perversion of U.S. foreign policy practiced by every president since World War I. My fellow Americans, we are in completely uncharted waters, led by a president, who — well, I cannot believe he is a Russian agent, but he sure plays one on TV."
Two thirds of the outside spending in the 2024 election came from groups that do not fully disclose the source of the funding. Many of these groups are pushing to cut your Medicaid and use that money to give billionaires and corporations a tax break. Dont be silent about this.
What happened in the Oval Office on Friday — the obviously planned ambush of Zelensky by Trump and Vance — was something that had never happened in the nearly 250-year history of this country! Our president sided with the aggressor, the dictator and the invader of Ukraine! PUTIN FIRST USA LAST
Just read this graf. Share it with people you know who don’t pay attention to politics or news.
Literally all he did was quote someone. Defining criticism of the government as treason is what authoritarians do. Turning a publicly funded news outlet into a state media propaganda machine is what authoritarians do.
While Donald was shamefully blowing up US diplomacy in the Oval, Edolf was shutting down Social Security offices across the country. I thought Social Security was truly the red line. WHY AREN'T PEOPLE IN THE STREETS? Time, place? I'm there.
So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

General CQ Brown is a patriot and hero. Firing him makes America less safe, but it will help bring about a Golden Age. For Putin.

Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers Thursday night at the National Nuclear Security Administration — the agency tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile — as part of broader Energy Department layoffs, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.
Top USAID officials are trying to create a false narrative that life-saving aid has continued despite Trump’s blanket halt to foreign aid. Our @nytimes.com reporting shows the exact opposite. USAID even issued an internal email to stop applications for waivers: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/u...

Adams must be removed. The city cannot sustain being governed for nearly a year by a Mayor who is being coerced by Trump admin in order to escape charges. This corruption poses a real threat to the people of the city. He should have resigned a while ago, but will not. So it’s time for him to go.

My top Super Bowl memory is when Musk tweeted “Go Eagles” in 2023 from the game and then deleted it after a similar tweet from Biden got more engagement. Then he flew to Twitter HQ and demanded his workers find out why his posts were doing poorly, starting a multi-day fact finding mission.
Republicans are brain dead. If you are against DEI, spell it out and say I am against Diversity, Equality and Inclusion while looking at yourself in the mirror. If you can smile your heart is black and your soul is gone.
Trump's billionaire donors already pay a lower effective tax rate than the rest of us. Now they want to take away our healthcare to fund their tax cuts? Fuck that BS! Hands off our Medicaid!
THIS is how you do it: 250,000 people in Munich, Germany, demonstrate against Putin's puppets, the Musk-endorsed AfD.
Musk wants to take more of our money for himself and his projects. Trump will let him steal from Medicare and Medicaid to fund more tax cuts for the richest among us. Oligarchic kleptocratic rule: the rich get richer and everyone else does not matter.
They want obedience or resignation. @radiofreetom.bsky.social: "But like Trump, Musk also appears to just detest people who work in public service. Both men resent govt agencies for 2 important reasons: They do not own these public institutions, & the employees do not instantly obey their orders."
