I've never felt shame for my country before. But watching people cheer this madman on like he's some kind of messiah as he burns everything we've built to the ground is quickly turning that new-found shame into hate.

Raskin: The lowest 100 day approval rating since polling began. He controlled the agenda. He controlled the House, the Senate— he’s got everything going for him and his numbers are in the gutter

UPS announcing that it is cutting 20,000 jobs because of fewer Amazon deliveries is just the first of many reports like this to come.
Empty ports = less goods to sell coming from overseas.
Less goods from oversees = layoffs across the transportation industry.

Pritzker: Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don’t know how to organize a group chat. It’s time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children’s cancer research…

100 days into this presidency, Americans are paying the price - higher prices, crashing retirement accounts, and broken promises.
But the American people are turning, thanks to your voices. Keep it up.
It's up to us to demand something better.

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession.
Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months.
Gotta be some kind of record.

After Abrego Garcia was deported, the administration initially scrambled to try to figure out how to bring him home, admitting that his alleged gang ties were tenuous, at best.
Then the negative coverage started and they decided the fight would be a political win.
Disgusting.

Newsom: Well, I saw a meme of Xi reading The Art of the Deal and laughing. I think that summed everything up. That was on my feed yesterday. I mean, here’s Trump negotiating against himself.

If you’re anxious about using your voice, then you’re probably in the wrong party, Lisa.
