I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is. This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

Good.
Team Trump is purposefully raising your electricity prices, hoping you’ll be mad at your electric utility and not blame them. The benefit to them is extra dollars for their greedy fossil fuel donors. Here’s how it works.🧵
We dead.
‼️‼️
I despise the whole vaccine-causes-autism conspiracy! #1 - it’s proven untrue and #2 - it implies that death is better than autism.
I find out about events through Indivisible/Roseville.
And the nice thing is that we get so many more positive reactions from the community than negative ones. And considering how red this area is, I find that to be a really optimistic sign.

Today’s version of chivalry is the “nice guys” who think of women like vending machines—if they put a certain amount of “kindness” tokens in, women are obliged to put out.
Mike Lee and all other people treating politically-motivated murder and attempted murder as a right wing talking point are deranged.
Awesome “sign”
Felon 47 is once again violating the First Amendment. He is indeed a sick MF.
How come they can capture the white murderers alive and fear for their lives and shoot BIPOC during traffic stops?
Who the hell are these “peacekeepers”? What training do they have? Who authorized them to be armed?
Felon 47 has the nerve to double down on undocumented immigrants when he was convicted of multiple felony counts and being undocumented is a civil offense.
People having their First Amendment rights to free speech and assembly violated by law enforcement.
When you invite your entire class to your birthday party and only half show up because you’re a jerk.

Three of my favorite signs from yesterday’s protest in Roseville, California (near Sacramento)
ICE loves Felon 47. They get free rein to act on their worst impulses.
Felon 47 says that protesters will be met with “a very big force” See you there!
The cruelty is the point SMDH
New word of the day comes from Ukraine to describe the trump/musk cat fight Zhabohadyuking- a vulgar way of saying that this a hideous match up that no one asked for! LOL
In this environment of lawlessness and disregard for due process, BOA feels free to violate their fiduciary responsibilities to their customers.
It’s almost like they want to destroy Social Security in order to lay the groundwork for privatization. Oh yeah, that’s exactly what they want to do.
Felon 47 and his crew are feloning loud and proud.
I don't believe this was an 'accident'. This was government retaliation that endangers the innocent children and wife of the victim of another government "administrative error"! Where's all that government efficiency DOGE is supposed to be assuring us of?!
Absolutely.
Gélineau advanced the term "narcolepsy" in 1880 while de la Tourette described his eponymous syndrome in 1885. "Autism" was coined by Bleuler in 1911, with full diagnoses soon after. But what do I know? I'm not the Cabinet secretary in charge of the goddamn Department of Health and Human Services.
Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!
Today House Republicans, cheered on by the richest person on Earth, passed a budget framework that will cut support for the poorest people in our country. All while cutting taxes for corporations and the wealthy, and massively increasing the deficit.
Total federal spending is up +8% in 2025 year-to-date on April 9 over 2024. The illusion that the fed govt is tightening its belt is contradicted by its own real-time expenditure data. Admin spectacularly hammering some things but raising spending elsewhere. Was -7% just after Inauguration Day.
Felon 47’s administration is felon-ing. Quelle surprise!
trying not to have a panic attack about this one, cool cool cool cool
They’re saying the quiet part out loud. Believe them!
A mother and her three children are on their way back home to New York following their detention by immigration enforcement officials last month at a dairy farm, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced.
Ok actual literal lol
DOGE Oversight Subcommittee held a hearing on reducing federal property. All they said was “fire sale” this, “fire sale” that. Meanwhile, they’re lighting all of this s**t on fire — while their incompetent leader wastes millions of taxpayer dollars golfing, all while steering us towards a recession.
Justice Sotomayor’s dissent warns of this “ lawless regime”.👇
BREAKING: The federal appeals court in DC has *unfired* members of the NLRB and MSPB that Donald Trump has been trying to remove despite laws protecting them from removal without cause. Panel was divided 7-4. Supreme Court could be next. Details TK www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
Mike Johnson changed the House rules so that a vote for Congress to reclaim authority to do tariffs will never be scheduled, by declaring the rest of this Congressional term one single calendar day. www.wakeuptopolitics.com/p/house-quie.... He could fix all of this before the US markets open.
It’s simple: it’s anti-Black racism.
Follow-up is critical. The Women’s March didn’t produce lasting results. If we don’t want yesterday to be remembered as a nice block party, we must continue to act. @maddow.msnbc.com
So terrific to join you in Roseville. Thanks for sharing these choice signs ❤️🤍🖤
Here's how you end a Hands Off! demonstration, Santa Barbara style. Thanks to the Society of Fearless Grandmothers, who organized the human alphabet and took the drone shots! #indivisible #handsoff
The chaos is intentional. Ask yourself “Who benefits?” The wealthy benefit and rest of us pay the price.
@maddow.msnbc.com We’re looking forward to your show on Monday!
Hands Off protest in Roseville CA
🤣
This is what people need to understand.
Corrupt judges let a criminal get away with treason and run for president. Propagandists masquerading as journalists lied to enough people that the criminal won. Then the criminal sold a half share in the presidency to the world's richest man, whom no one voted for. That's what happened, folks.
The cruelty is the point.
The Trump-Musk war against workers continues. Last night, Trump issued a blatantly illegal executive order essentially destroying AFGE & NTEU, the unions representing federal employees. The Oligarchs don’t like unions. We do. Let’s stand together against this assault on workers.
Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.
Martin O'Malley, former Social Security commissioner, says he believes the Trump administration has already taken 90% of the actions necessary to crater Social Security.
JUST IN: Trump pulls security clearances of more political/legal adversaries — some of these were previously known but new list includes: -Kamala Harris -Liz Cheney -Joe Biden + Biden family -Fiona Hill
Felon 47 continues to flout the rule of law.
Tens of millions of dollars slated for violence prevention have been cut or are frozen as DOGE steamrolls the national security sector. “This is the government getting out of the terrorism business,” said one grant recipient.

WTAF?!? President Donald Trump has rescinded an executive order targeting a prominent international law firm after it pledged to review its hiring practices and to prov…
His defense of his CR decision was…adequate, but his hard-hearted stance on the death and suffering of Palestinian civilians overshadowed the first part of this interview.
The complete disconnect from the suffering of Palestinian civilians was disturbing. This part of the conversation was appalling.
Okay, let's be clear that this isn't true. Michael Bennet chewing Schumer out in the private Senate Dems meeting that was held yesterday 100% contradicts this.
sickos.png
My statement on the leadership of Senator Schumer and Congressman Jeffries ⬇️
We strongly oppose the partisan and harmful Republican spending bill.
"Sleepy Joe" oversaw the biggest stock gains in US history, 9 straight quarters of GDP growth, 12 straight months of inflation decline... and "the greatest businessman ever" crashed it all in 45 days.
The cruelty is the point.
Trump and Elon are trying to cut benefits for 73 Million Americans…so billionaires can get tax cuts.
NO. CUTS. TO. SOCIAL. SECURITY.
Good.
Kelly: When I was flying in combat over Iraq during the first Gulf War, I didn’t expect that there was a 10-year-old kid sitting in South Africa who would one day become the richest guy in the world and call me a traitor for doing my job. Now, he kind of acts like a 12-year-old kid
Utterly insane. A child has died because her parents wouldn’t vaccinate her.
Have the DOGE boys gotten around to cancelling a) a single weapons contract or b) a single Elon Musk contract?
I know this is extremely vulgar idealism, but I do think we should try to aggressively reassert the norm that lying is bad. Not in a "Four Pinnochios" fact-checking kind of way, but in a way that frames this kind of lying as moral degeneracy that is fundamentally corrosive to the human spirit.
The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. The stock market is not the economy. Nonetheless, holy shit. What’s remarkable is that there’s hardly any real news driving this. It’s just investors belatedly realizing that Trump is who he is, and always was.
This is a first. Today, the most powerful man in the White House is saying OUT LOUD he wants to "ELIMINATE" Social Security and Medicare. Eliminate. Not "cut," not "reduce." Not even raise the retirement age. ELIMINATE. Sit on that for a minute. This is your money.
The headlines are just going to keep getting weirder.
He was a few months ahead of himself.
@schiff.senate.gov - why are you making anything easier for this administration?
An excellent ad Democrats should make their own. h/t @barubin.bsky.social
Another review of Trump’s lies. Note “ended government censorship,” while censoring any mention of climate change.
If you’re wondering how Donald Trump’s economic policies are actually going – compare your grocery bill from December with your bill last week. Gaslight all he wants – the reality is that American families are hurting. And Trump is making it worse.
It's absolutely wild to praise Elon Musk and DOGE who broke the law and didn't have the required security clearance to access the personal information of millions of Americans through at least 15 federal agencies – including the Treasury Department and the IRS.
This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid
"Wałęsa reminded Trump that 'Gratitude is due to the heroic Ukrainian soldiers who shed their blood in defense of the values of the free world,' and added, 'We do not understand how the leader of a country that is a symbol of the free world cannot see this.'” www.thebulwark.com/p/trump-puti...
Trump is making up stats about Social Security so he has an excuse to cut your benefits.
This happened in court 4 days ago. DOJ said Musk was NOT the head of DOGE. x.com/AnnaBower/st...
Donald Trump says he’ll protect Social Security — but his plan to fire thousands of SSA employees could collapse the entire system and put Americans' hard-earned benefits at risk. We will fight like hell to protect Social Security from Trump, Musk and their band of billionaires.

I’m not going to the Joint Address. I will be live posting and chatting with you all here instead. Then going on IG Live after.
Two market meltdowns. One common denominator.
