The month before a shooter opened fire on children gathered in a Minnesota church this week, the Trump administration cut funding in the state for efforts to identify potential mass shooters and head off their violence.

Chris Hayes just used this graphic, showing Iran’s nuclear activity was small, then non-existent under the Obama deal, & immediately exploded after Trump unilaterally broke the deal.
🚩They were complying. Obama returned their own impounded money back and they felt seen.🚩
🧨Trump & Bibi blew it up.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

It's not just Vance - the sense of unearned entitlement is a defining feature of this administration. People who know their careers are built on a grift respond by self-righteously demanding deference and respect.

"Did you even say thank you?"
Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed.
He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

Walz: An hour by hour day by day basis, the President has chosen, chosen to throw our economy into turmoil.
We are talking about a guy that slapped a 10% tariff on an island populated only by penguins. It would be funny as hell if it wasn't true and stupid.

I don’t understand why Murkowski doesn’t just quit. Nevermind what she SHOULD do. If you’re in a job that you’re too scared to do properly, and you have the ability to quit, why wouldn’t you just walk away?

Normally if someone tries to kill a governor, the president is briefed, calls the governor, and issues a statement committing resources to bringing perps to justice.
It’s not just that we don’t expect Trump to be kind—we have to wonder if he’ll allow a real investigation at all.

1) Fox News is for real not showing stock-market ticker during this week's collapse.
2) Its economic news is "strong jobs report."
3) Every time I've checked in today, the coverage has been "illegal immigrants committing new crimes."
This is state propaganda, on a par with North Korea or PRC.

Here's one statistic for you:

→ Net jobs created under Bush, Bush, AND Trump: 1.9 million.
That is not a typo.

Of Course Trump Will Tank the Economy. It’s What Republicans Do.
As the president’s “Liberation Day” nears, it’s time to liberate ourselves from the vicious cycle of Democrats having to clean up the GOP’s messes.

Yes, here we go again.
The next Democratic president will be charged with cleaning up the fourth consecutive Republic economic calamity.
When will the American people catch on? Maybe, for starters, when the Democrats start pointing it out.

Just admitting a mistake and apologizing seems like a lot less work than lying and peddling a half dozen different conspiracies.
