Apart from showing how evil he is yesterday, Trump showed how he’s actually a bad—moronic—dealmaker.

I mean, you’ve got some guy coming in to give you his country’s minerals. Wouldn’t you want to get him to sign first before berating him on global television?

Trump and Vance — elected by MAGA voters, and supported by spineless Republican members of Congress — are both shamelessly subservient to their Kremlin master.

Dear angry Republican voters who've showed up at GOP Town Halls to complain about the spending cuts, firings and chaos: Speaker Mike Johnson just told CNN's @kaitlancollins.bsky.social that you were 'paid democrat protestors'. They don't care about you. Remember this for the 2026 midterms

CFPB has recovered $21B for consumers

Now Musk-Trump have shuttered CFPB

Musk wants to open a Twitter financial platform and he doesn't want banking cops like CFPB monitoring him

What's that tell you?

Any financial platform Musk starts will probably be bad for consumers

I get that Trump & Elon are slashing federal jobs, but how are they deciding who gets laid off?

The Trump administration is firing hundreds of FAA probationary employees—the ones who maintain critical air traffic control infrastructure. An area already stretched thin.

What could possibly go wrong?

Elon musk is the richest man in the world, he could be funding hospitals, medical research and universities. He could be solving the climate crisis. He could be feeding, hungry children. Instead, he’s trying to make sure that your grandmother doesn’t get an extra dollar of Social Security.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

What a disgrace.

Bezos and the newspaper he has destroyed should be grateful that anyone thinks it’s still worthwhile to buy ad space from them.

Dear Governor Kathy Hochul:

It's time.

You have the power to remove Eric Adams from office as NYC mayor.

Take a stand -- and stand up for cleaning up corruption in New York.

REMOVE ADAMS NOW.

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons
