Rangappa: Do you believe that Ghislaine Maxwell is guilty? Ferguson: Yes Rangappa: She denied her guilt the interview. Ferguson: Most criminals lie, newsflash. That's, like, not shocking. Rangappa: Then why on Earth would you believe anything she said?
Nope. The exact opposite. I wish for Trump to fail BECAUSE I wish for America to succeed. What Trump is doing - his stupid tariffs, his cruel deportations, his traitorous siding with Putin - will all hurt America. I don’t want to hurt America. So of course I want Trump to fail.
Rule one. Don’t obey in adv.. oh ffs. We all knew this was gonna happen
Some clues now emerging on what Maxwell is doing to get Trump to move her to a minimum security Club Fed for her “cooperation”, with much more becoming obvious if they release the interview transcript.
South Park omg 😂

I am so sick of the left saying that Trump is in the Epstein Files. He’s the President and deserves top billing. Epstein is in the Trump Files
There are two types of people Those who hate Ted Cruz And Ted Cruz
Redact trumps name and those in his orbit like Dershowitz. But leave in others. Not a surprise
This is why they haven’t released the files yet. Trumps name appears so often in them that it’s taking them a long to redact his name. And order new sharpies to redact further.
With Rick Wilson the pilot
Rick Wilson is flying that plane isn’t he? 😂😂
Real consumer spending dead stopped growing in 2025, per @jaredb-econ.bsky.social. #NumbersDay #EconSky econjared.substack.com/p/weekly-wra...
And remember Fox edited out the part after the “yes” to make it much more convincing.
Not a surprise. It smelled like his or Susie wiles operation
April 11: “The phones are ringing off the hook.” July 6: “Many of these countries never even contacted us.” @atrupar.com
You’re assuming we are gonna have elections, or not be challenged by the DOJ and have the Supreme Court get involved with some Bs
Dimon?
It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this
He’s probably training the grok model by using truth social posts and cat turd posts
I’m surprised he didn’t get rid of today’s holiday by now. I’m sure it’ll be gone next year
Grateful that Brad Lander is using his experience to highlight the biggest outrage; that ICE is re-arresting people who have been 100% compliant with ICE and the courts, with the goal of unlawfully stripping them of a court hearing to juice Stephen Miller's deportation numbers.
Reflexive control at work: Spur protest (which is warranted and people should do so) in order to justify military intervention, as in L.A. Voila -- troops end up on the streets of blue state cities, but not red ones
He stood in front of our troops today and gave a mean spirited, partisan speech. He stood in front of our troops today and attacked Americans by name. He stood in front of our troops today and goaded them into booing their fellow Americans. Never become desensitized to this.

His point is "I can use the military anywhere, for any reason" and "I am the only thing that stands between you normies and chaos" This is about a lot more than LA, which is why I keep asking people to take the long view.
So after four months, what did DOGE accomplish? Countless lives at home and abroad shattered & destroyed, along with increased disease, starvation, & death around the world. Oh, and absolutely ZERO impact on the debt & government spending. Zero impact. Well done @elonmusk.
As written in project 2025
Yet again Trump is taking credit for what Biden did.
Pedro Pascal at Cannes speaks on America's political chaos: "Fear is the way that they win, so keep telling the stories and expressing yourself and fighting. F*ck the people that try to make you scared and fight back. Don't let them win."
Had seen it when it first came out. As I got near the end of Andor I added rogue one to my watchlist and will be watching again next week.
You all should know by now I criticize Republicans and Democrats, and have no problem calling out Dem leadership and Biden. However, the media obsessing over Biden's age while ignoring Trump is literally falling asleep during meetings and is the oldest man to be President is infuriating.
Listen to Bruce Springsteen starting his European tour... “Let freedom ring,” says the Boss. And he’s never swayed, except to the music. Love ya, Bruce.
Why didn’t Welker push back on his statement that “we’ve had a massive expansion of government?” We’ve had the SAME NUMBER of government employees for over five decades. Corporate media, PUSH BACK WITH FACTS PLEASE.
Gee wonder who that would benefit!
It is a little weird to me countries aren’t more aggressively, formally trying to take advantage of the U.S. science brain drain. Once in a lifetime opportunity to buy low on Non-Dumbass Americans with PhDs who just wanna look into microscopes and quietly cure ass cancer as our country eats shit.

Same. They could have taken him in the second round. Brutal
Ah yes, the government asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews. No way that could go wrong www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/n...

Senator Van Hollen cannot be any more clear as to what this is all about. It’s about the rule of law. Period. Not the whims of an authoritarian or our feelings toward any individual. If you allow it to be dismissed for even one person. Any person. You risk suffering the same fate.
All these years of attending church during Holy Week, and I never thought to use the red cover on the candle as a candle holder. Χριστός Ανέστη!
Did she write the headline? Greeks are not looking forward to her
The freight guys have really started freaking out over the past 48-72 hours:
Every word he says here is a lie. Every single word. He lies because his voters let him lie.
Thank you @jeffjarvis.bsky.social
Trump’s only statement about Putin’s Palm Sunday Massacre was to blame Zelensky.
The president told a Central American dictator to build five more massive slave labor camps to hold US citizens.
APOLLO: “.. Consumer Confidence Is Weaker than During the 2008 Financial Crisis .. “.. sentiment is declining rapidly both for households making more than $100,000 and less than $100,000 .. “.. Consumers’ worries about losing their jobs are at levels normally seen during recessions ..”
Now I know where all the money from Accenture and Deloitte cancelled consulting contracts is going.
This seems right, and all of this is WRONG.
Normally, U.S. Treasuries rally (interest rates go down) in a market downturn, because they are seen as a safe harbor. The fact that this isn’t happening is a serious red flag.
NEW: China increases tariffs on US imports from 84% to 125%. The dollar is slumping. US bond yields are rising, threatening a debt crisis. Stock market is set for worst week since global financial crash. Trump is in a war he should never have started. And he doesn’t have the cards.
I am absolutely not a fan of this man, that said, he’s completely correct and the messaging here is 💯
Trump tells his followers to buy stock in the morning, minutes after the market opens, then announces he is pausing tariffs 4 hours later. Nothing to see here.
Deeply concerning: US citizen lawyer getting detained and his phone searched on reentering the U.S. at Customs. www.freep.com/story/news/l...
Vladimir Putin is the most successful investor in the history of the world.
The “take me to Gods country” line was awesome
Playing around with CBP airport processing data this morning to see how much air travel by non-US passengers is cratering.
“What happened? You helped elect Donald Trump you fucking moron” - @timmiller.bsky.social
this surely sounds like a Russian oligarch like scheme from the 90s
Reminder: as the Dow is tanking faster than 2008, and four dead servicemen arrive at Dover, Trump is golfing: with the saudis
Trump won’t rule out seeking a third term in the White House, tells NBC News ‘there are methods’ for doing so
She co-authored an opinion piece. They want to deport her because of her beliefs. Not only is that un-American, it’s also so fucking weak. Today’s oh so easily offended snowflakes are on the MAGA right.👇
This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance. Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.
How about a fund for the cops who were attacked?
“Wait guys, P. Hegseth is typing…”
It’s a cult. He’d rather watch his family suffer than say an ill word of his cult leader
Ask yourself: Why would anyone who wasn’t an asset of the Russian government do this? Why would any decent human being do this?
The Department of Defense deemed a story about baseball hero and civil rights leader Jackie Robinson's time in the Army as "DEI" and deleted it.
The entire world seems to understand this except Trump, Vance, Musk, many Fox hosts, and their cult.
This is insane. Arguably the greatest achievement of the first Trump administration was Operation Warp Speed. And mRNA technology has tremendous potential. Recall recent news that mRNA vaccines show promise against pancreatic cancer in early trials www.nbcnews.com/health/cance...
Just saw a Kristi Noem commercial spending taxpayer money to promote herself and thank Trump. If we want to DOGE something how about that corrupt garbage?
Kinzinger: Donald Trump threatens our allies because he's small, he's scared, he's a coward. And you can threaten your friends because you know you're not going to start a war over it, and it makes you look really tough
I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.
GOP 2024: stocks are rising under Biden because investors think Trump will be president GOP 2025: stocks are falling under Trump because investors think Biden was president 🤔
Many kudos to rep Keating for standing up for her
Under this theory, Marco Rubio can expel Canadians who say “you should stop threatening to annex Canada.”
She. Is. Lying.
What's good for the goose...
When I started writing Our Own Worst Enemy, I kept telling people that the economic deprivation argument just didn't explain what was going on, no matter how beloved a theory it was. Now here's @jvl.bsky.social reviews the record, and, well...
Trump is a Russian asset.
Waste, fraud, and abuse is the federal government paying for a convicted felon and rapist to play golf multiple times every single week.
The ability to control mass party opinion this directly is unlike anything I’ve really seen in my time covering politics.
Agree with you Joe Trump won again partly from the effective disinformation machine. It’s critical Americans know the truth on what is going on during his second term and calling it out is vital
Civil servant source says DOGE has made agencies much less efficient: "Work has ground down to a stunning degree and management is spending a significant amount of time responding & preparing to respond to the chaos incited by the never ending barrage of EOs & accompanying memos" Many make no sense🧵
Delaying Mexican tariffs but not Canadian puts the lie to the idea that the tariffs have anything to do with fentanyl flows (since there are effectively no fentanyl flows across the northern border and there plenty across the southern border.) It was all an empty pretext anyway. This just proves it.
Make it 8 - he’s bankrupting America fiscally and morally
Trump has six bankruptcies under his belt. America is about to become his seventh.
Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.
That’s right. 🇺🇦
