The White House account on X boasts of “$8 trillion in tariff revenue.” 🤡
Well, Trump does have a lot of empathy for himself. Endless self-empathy.
Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix picked a side. I will keep my subscription.
It is insane to me that the richest man in the world is using his global megaphone to call for millions of British people to be rounded up and deported (including my family) and somehow this isn’t even news.
You guys see where this is going? Right?
Meanwhile in Russia: Zakhar Prilepin explained that regardless of any ceasefire, Russia will eventually resume its efforts to take all of Ukraine. He scoffed at Trump's peacekeeping proposals and emphasized that Russia will never be friends with America. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKrS...
And three not so wise men brought him gifts of gold styrofoam, limestone, and grass.
New: An immigration judge ordered a New York waiter released on bond. ICE is refusing to release him. How the Trump admin is taking advantage of a rarely used rule to keep people detained when judges grant them bond www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Yeah, well, doing illegal shit is often embarrassing. If you’ve got any shame left, that is.
All true, but I’ve heard that O’Neill has done his research. So we’re good.
It is truly outrageous that anyone with this background was able to even sniff the inside of a federal govt office, much less have full access to private data of Americans.
You watch as a child sobs for his mother—while masked agents of the state prepare to drag her away. ICE: “I don’t have any choice… [we’re just following orders].” The coward’s refrain. The excuse of weak, spineless men—echoed by every tool of tyranny throughout history.
Earnings call after earnings call are all saying the same thing: we ate some of the tariffs for a time hoping he'd reverse course, he hasn't, and we intend to raise prices in response. www.wsj.com/business/ret...
Albert Speer would be so proud.
Trump didn’t require an invite from LA or DC or Chicago, but Milwaukee is in a state that voted for Trump.
So glad America is now a post-woke utopia
This is a good list to share with folks you know who are either checked out or still think Trump is just a clown and not to worry about it. He’s checked off a large number of boxes that make this country a dictatorship. And it’s only been 7 months.
The few students that will come here (despite the risk a white nationalist run country would pose to them) will then take all that knowledge elsewhere
Are there people praying for children to be shot? Because those prayers are definitely being answered. Checkmate libs
jesus christ
My hot take: the new Cracker Barrel logo isn't great. the old one sucked. their food isn't great. also, who gives a shit?

I saw similar videos when Russians held signs to protest Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
Here is the growing list of countries choosing to pause mail deliveries to the U.S. because of Trump's tariff chaos. Did anyone vote in 2024 to become the new Hermit Kingdom? Austria Australia Denmark France Germany India Italy Japan New Zealand Singapore Spain South Korea Sweden Thailand
The Department of Labor headquarters has turned itself into a shrine—hanging a massive portrait of Trump across its facade.
They have no coherent ideology or policies because their sole goal is to please and echo Trump, who is a chaotic and ridiculous megalomaniac.
(Reuters) - U.S. consumers with the highest credit scores are starting to fall behind in debt repayments, credit scoring company VantageScore said in a report published on Monday, in a sign that Americans' financial health may be deteriorating more broadly. www.tradingview.com/news/reuters...
Not just in Miami. Try rural WI, where a trip for two to a popular local Mexican restaurant was $48 (incl. tip) for sodas and two quesadillas. A sign on the door said to add 3% to menu prices, and they added another 3.7% at checkout because we didn’t pay cash. (The latter is becoming common.)
Among all the other things, "The President has screwed things up so badly that the world's other rich countries won't deliver mail to us anymore" really should end it immediately.
The funny thing is animals actually can suffer and we slaughter them by the billions but sure let’s have an existential panic over whether a software program screams when we turn it off
If I were 5, I’d still be old enough to remember Republicans being very much against nationalization and government control of industry. But this is just further proof that the Republican Party no longer exists except in name and memory, having been replaced entirely by MAGA.
Call in the National Guard to help the residents of Charleston. Oh, wait. South Carolina’s governor sent them to DC for Trump’s occupation.
Yes, it’s what they are planning to do to all prominent “dissidents” eventually. It’s genuine fascism.
You can tell that he’s increasingly giddy about his power to just do whatever he wants. Multiple threats to people and cities and entire states, about anything that contradicts his will. Watching a bully turn into a tyrant dictator in real time.
Trump says that DC having a week with no homicides was something that happened "for the first time in memory." The last time that happened was March, where there was a 16-day streak without a homicide.
This picture on the front of the boat 🤣
It’s the worldview of someone who is used to toadies and scared people humiliating themselves on his behalf, just automatically doing whatever they think will please him and keep them from getting targeted by him.
jesus christ lol
“People estimate” California and Texas both have roughly the same number of undocumented workers so by his logic Texas would have to also give up 6 or 7 reps to have an “honest” census. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...
It's just so sad and pathetic to think that Marco Rubio of all people—who long reviled Putin and who spent his Senate career championing human rights—would be reduced to echoing Neville Chamberlain ("A quarrel in a faraway country, between people of whom we know nothing").
Make Russia Great Again.
Political tribalism should have no place in law enforcement. None.
They rolled out a red carpet, let Putin ride in the Presidential limo, and they didn’t even make it to the lunch; that’s how hard Trump got owned.
I really do feel awful for Ukrainians watching this. Putin kidnapped 20,000 of their children and forced them through "re-education" camps and the future of their country depends on his ability to flatter the softest ego imaginable
Just a half hour away from our home, how exciting!
Are they making out in that backseat?
Reminder who this guy — educated at Stanford and Harvard — is. kyivindependent.com/whos-kirill-...
Every morning our President gets up and spins a a wheel that clanks and rattles before stopping on some good that Americans need, then he spins a second wheel to randomly pick the tariff rate he will impose.
He’s been President for 4 years and 7 months, not consecutively. Putin has ruled Russia since 2000 (with only a 4yr break when Medvedev was a stop-gap President while Putin ran things as Prime Minister).
Here’s the full article — from a UK newspaper. If you’re not yet following a UK or other global news outlet, now’s the time. Because US media is fully equivocating or lying by omission.
So hang on…. Trump is going to offer to open up FUKKIN ALASKA TO THE RUSSIANS?? Wow. Let’s see republicans defend this
A Trump insurrectionist is going to report the US jobs numbers from now on, and I think that’s officially the end of reliable government information on the economy.
Just so we’re keeping score & everyone understands where we are now: you live in a country where there are two tiers of citizenship, the government is sending people to concentration camps, the president sets the policies of elite universities, & there are security checkpoints in the capital city.
Will Trump send the military to take over Austin and save it from crime, or much?
After looking over the new BLS guys background and socials...looks like we can't trust any inflation or jobs numbers until 2029, lol
It’s former GA Sen Kelly Loeffler, who has succumbed to the MAGA big hair virus.
It’s incredible that someone like Loomer has access to the President and can persuade him to fire “disloyal” staffers.
Trump and Putin are meeting on US soil because a country lawless enough not to arrest Trump is lawless enough not to arrest Putin. www.npr.org/2023/03/17/1...
I do not want my tax dollars paying for ads that air in Mexico and tell Mexicans not to come to the US.
The so-called Alaska summit feels like the dystopian apotheosis of 'Pax' Americana An event staged for television where the US president gives away land in somebody else's country that thousands have fought and died for Just so he can posture as peacemaker to his domestic audience Sickening
Why the hell are Trump and Putin — two dictators — deciding the fate of a sovereign nation that’s been invaded and tormented by Putin? Anyone gonna ask Zelensky what he wants and needs, or no?
I’m sorry, but so many men of his generation are beyond tiresome with their “tough” posturing 🙄
no but this is crazy
The fact that the president’s son joined in is a perfect summary of our times
Today is the day that Trump was supposed to impose tough new sanctions on Russia if they didn’t agree to a cease fire.
Every day, that demented old man makes the White House look even tackier, having workers glue gold-spray-painted polyurethane bric-a-brac to every available surface. Who knew it was even possible in the United States to stand out for your vulgarity?
Kennedy Curse Sure Taking Its Sweet Time With RFK Jr.
No lies told here.
We’ve reached that point of absurdity where not coddling youth is an excuse for federal takeover of a city of 700K people.
The next part of the plan to steal the midterms and/or the 2028 election - an attempt to do a mid-decade census to take seats and electoral votes away from blue states. I knew this was coming.
We must recall that it was Trump who nonchalantly endangered all Americans by putting this charlatan nut-job in charge of public health, all in exchange for Kennedy’s endorsement. A true devil’s bargain.
Well, I’ve never before seen toppling a democratically elected government via military coup described as “becoming president under controversial circumstances.” Congrats. I guess.
“To Blame” How dare you not gamble away your money!
Does anyone at the WH understand that it’s “regular folks” who fuel the economy with their spending, and not just finance people and cryptobros and corporations and AI wars? Most Americans are not kleptocrats; we can’t just steal the money to pay for more expensive goods and services.
In case there was ever any question about whether we’d be better off under a Vance Presidency.
Gen Xers better have savings to live off, too, or we’ll end up in poverty or working into our 80s (if we’re healthy enough) to squeak by with far lower SS payments. And millennials… they’re pretty much screwed 😔.
Checking in with one of the Fed chair front runners.
That truck would also do great with European consumers. So useful.
Hunh. They seem caught off guard to have issues recruiting for jobs where cruelty is the point, where racism is a motivator, and you need to cosplay in tactical gear and masks in heat and humidity, while getting filmed.
As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.
Donald Trump won 56% of the vote in Texas in 2024. Republicans currently control 25 of the 38 House seats, or 66%. If this plan goes through they'll control 30 of 38 seats, or 79%.
I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.
I’m a fan of the Darwin Awards, and raw-milk drinkers are all nominees.
Trump is absolutely giddy about turning the United States into a police state.
“This item is not available for purchase” is a bummer tho, lol.
Jimmy the Greek got fired in 1988 — 1988! — for saying Black people were natural athletes because they were “bred” by slave owners to be big and strong. And now, in 2025, we have a President who spews racist crap like this and is adored for it by tens of millions of Americans. It’s just incredible.
Definitely not a racist.
The person enforcing the Texas Constitution is Ken Paxton. The people interpreting the Texas Constitution are the Texas Supreme Court, entirely composed of Republicans. Abbott has carte blanche.
It’s important to speak plainly and lay things out like @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social does. The TX gerrymander isn’t just a legislative chess game — it’s denying representation in government for millions of people, simply to protect Trump’s unpopular federal policies.
Surveillance by your government comes in many forms.
We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won’t be offended.
GOP Senators do Trump’s bidding, and in exchange they know they can break laws and behave unethically with impunity.
All those Trump surrogates who touted this, and news orgs that reported it credulously, owe Americans a big fat apology www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Ginger female mom! Rare and darling.
