As Trump imposes punitive tariffs in an effort to strong arm American companies to invest domestically, the Trump Organization continues to invest abroad.

Just last week, it announced deals to build a tower in Dubai and a golf course in Qatar.

I really wish reporters would stop saying that there is an effort by the Trump administration to combat antisemitism. It is quite the opposite. There is an effort to foment antisemitism.

Musk staffers gained access to a system at the Interior Department. We had resisted their attempts for about two weeks to obtain administrative access to the program. Two IT officials who stood their ground are now on administrative leave and under investigation.

1. The Social Security Administration and DOGE are GASLIGHTING AMERICANS.

They are telling millions of beneficiaries that reports they were closing SSA field offices were fake news.

Actually, these closures were PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED and LEASES WERE CANCELED.

How the Social Security Administration and DOGE are gaslighting Americans
The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

Closing rural post offices will do the same thing that closing rural schools has done: Empty out rural towns.

Why? To sell off farmland for rock bottom prices to the oligarchs. Water and mineral rights and CAFOs polluting with impunity.

It’s been the plan for decades.

This is your money. Your field staff who work for you, the taxpayer and funder of social security. These buildings and phone workers are funded by the people.

Elon is destroying your assets. Emptying your field offices. Firing staff we pay for when we need help. Stealing your retirement

This is disgraceful and un-American. The Trump administration defended its removal of articles highlighting the achievements of minority service members, including Navajo code talkers, Marines at Iwo Jima, and famed Black baseball player Jackie Robinson.

At some point we are going to go from courts declaring acts by the Trump Admin to be illegal/unconstitutional to a recognition that Musk and his posse have broken dozens/hundreds of laws and are criminals.

It needs to be understood that Elon Musk has been on a crime spree not an efficiency drive.
I joined Ali Velshi last night on MSNBC’s The Eleventh Hour to discuss the Chief Justice’s rebuke of the President. I explained that America is in a constitutional crisis when, rather than faithfully executing the laws, the President of the United States is defying the laws.

Please contact all representatives, attend town halls, and get furious fast.
The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

This is direct theft of taxpayer money for political purposes. It is literally stealing.
$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.”
