“Our Constitution has one remedy for this, which is impeachment… What you saw between Trump and Bukele was a criminal conspiracy to deprive people of their rights. It’s an agreement to commit a crime. It is a crime to deprive people of their rights under the Constitution.” @asharangappa.bsky.social

Maybe the best way to attack Trump is to make his economic disaster the centerpiece. He's crushing everything you've worked so hard for. He's stripping you of your money and making deals for himself. And he doesn't care. Something like that. In the end, it will be money that moves Congress.

Exactly.
Yep. Trump is paying millions to El Salvador.

“The rise in treasury yields since Trump’s tariffs were announced leads to an increase in US debt interest payments that is larger than all the DOGE savings.” @jburnmurdoch.ft.com (via @kellycnbc.bsky.social) bsky.app/profile/jbur... DOGE “cost cutting” goals chart by @steverattner.bsky.social:
Thanks to Trump's incompetent Trade War, and tarrif tax on struggling Americans. Every factory on earth, except those located in the United States, can get the inputs they need from China without paying an additional 145 percent markup. China is forming better relationships while we rapidly decline.
He’sgoing to crash our economy. Bankrupt it. Then use the cash he’s currently stockpiling… to buy up Treasury bills at their highest and all of our industry and infrastructure at bargain basement clearance prices. It’s the only business he’s good at. Over leveraging into bankruptcy.
Probably a good time to consider learning Chinese; at least one dialect out of @ 200, since China will probably own the US before the end of this decade🧌
“DOGE’s latest efficiency is halting $500 million in food deliveries to the nation's food banks.” @joshtpm.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/josh... bsky.app/profile/davm...
indeed, isn't the loss of revenue from DOGE's IRS staffing cuts greater than the purported DOGE savings?
🤬
Yeah. The plan was to bankrupt the country while stealing as much as possible.
If the taxes had been raised on the rich it would have been enough to fund Social Security. DOGE has been malpractice.

No kidding! Nobody ever believed they were saving a cent. We've been watching them rip the copper wiring out of the walls since day one, and we all knew it.
You mean that ‘advisory group?!’
Ask Musk where it is. Probably in his off shore bank accounts.
DOGE didn’t save anything. He destroyed functional, competent, and respected agencies. The decades long work of others has been kicked down in a flash by the biggest ass, one that Sam Rayburn could not have imagined…
This chart looks like every one of Elon’s promises. Still waiting for those to come to reality, too, and yet he suckers in millions of people into half baked products. So $500bn from 347mn people. That’s just over $1400 for each living American. Nearly $5800 for a family of 4. So much winning.
This makes me so angry. To have squander our hard earned tax money taken from us when the top 1% are paying their fair share. And all the federal workers fired will not be paying taxes, bills, mortgages nor will our government be able to function without qualified employees. STUPID
DOGE is not about cutting costs; all about sowing fear and creating chaos.
But at least they stole all the data in the world
Hey @cnn.com @cbsnews.com @abcnewsbot.bsky.social @nbcnews.com you gonna cover this old inept man’s presidential actions now?? 🤬🤬🤬 FOTUS is crashing the economy on purpose and not covering it with the anger and hate you throw at Biden makes you complicit! Do your damn jobs!!
How much have they spent or lost while saving this money?
@maddow.msnbc.com @meidastouch.com
So, no one has to buy crypto crap.
🚨
Is anyone else that’s in the government paying attention to this shit show?! Congress? Senate? Not pay for play lawyers? He’s literally breaking and decimating everything! Can someone please help and do something to stop this craziness? Thanks- Normal US citizens
And Dem Senators like @kirstengillibrand.bsky.social and @gallego.senate.gov who have taken money from crypto lobbyists are aiding and abetting them
Would falsifying evidence be considered an official presidential duty? (Asking for a nation.)
Given how intransient the administration has been about returning Kilmar Ábrego García, it's got to be Trump resisting it.
Our press is complicit in the demise of our democracy 😭🤬🤬
It’s kidnapping!
Thank you for articulating this! The cognitive dissonance is one of the hardest parts of living through this crisis. It’s almost like the billionaire class is trying to gas light us into believing we, the hardworking citizens of these (former?) United States are the problem, not the robber barons.
He's the devil. No pleading with him will do.
They were justifiably confident in 2024, even when it was obvious 80% of Americans didn't want them. WHY were they so confident? HOW did they take (not win) that election? Hire some dedicated Hackers to answer these questions or he will take 2028. It isn't rocket science, kids.
Withdraw financial support from the billionaires who don’t support us and our rights. It’s work g with Musk. Do it to Bezos, Thiel and the others. Stop paying them! Start supporting small businesses instead.
GOOD. Let's stop pussyfooting the obvious. Three branches: one is defying another while a third sits on their hands and watches the country burn. LFG.

But trump is immune from being held liable as a criminal so laws are meaningless to him. Mitch McConnell is responsible for this happening by refusing to allow a Supreme Court justice to be confirmed…then refusing to impeach trump because we have laws that should’ve held trump accountable
Our Constitution provides many other opportunities to remove the President from office. Regretably, our corrupt SCOTUS decided to give him immunity from criminal prosecution for criminal crimes, leaving us only impeachment. Let's be clear.
And McConnell refused to impeach because he said trump was not immune from being held accountable by our judicial system… I think he knew all along that scotus would give Trump immunity and played us like fools.
Agreed. McConnell is a traitor to America and violated his Constitutional duties more times than anyone can count. #FuckingFascists
Impeachment might happen. Removal never will
