1. We contacted the 100 largest American companies and asked a simple question:

Do you support the tariffs announced by President Trump on April 2?

These are tariffs that have already destroyed trillions of shareholder value

NOT ONE COMPANY WOULD ANSWER THE QUESTION
Trump tariffs, corporations cower
During the Biden administration, corporate executives regularly expressed their displeasure with policies they opposed.

More wise words from President Obama.

"It's up to all of us to fix this. It's not going to be somebody who comes and saves us.

The most important office in this democracy is the citizen. The ordinary person who says, no, that's not right."

We should be out every weekend, protesting, peacefully

The Empire is striking back, but we know how this story unfolds.
The Resistance stands firm & grows. Those who were trampled by the powers of darkness joined & fought back.
We are #AltGov, and we are here to help.
The fight has only just begun.

In the words of one recent Russian newspaper headline: "US and Russian officials are now talking the same language."
"There are some video conferences we believe will be upcoming with, let's say, the Musk team."

YouGov poll:

74% Americans — including 60% of Republicans — say the Trump admin's use of the Signal chat to discuss military strikes is a serious problem.

Let me explain something that should be obvious: when you place somebody in custody, you assume responsibility for their wellbeing. Your job is to keep them alive and well, sometimes even in spite of themselves. Zero excuse for this. Care when it happens to them or idgaf when it happens to you.

While I see both sides, I tend to agree with those who have stayed. The Trump regime will have to act if they want "wokeyness" out. We shouldn't go without a fight.

Due to recent layoffs & hiring freezes at NOAA, there are fewer weather balloons sampling this system as it moves & develops.
The remaining meteorologists are warning that this system may be quite significant but advise that their datasets are incomplete at best & lack complete analysis.

Along with the capitulation, this is the worst part.

The relentless focus on process and “bipartisanship” rather than articulating the substantive issues with the bill and articulating a substantive alternative
The Senate Democratic Caucus was unified on a ‘clean’ one-month CR that would have kept the government open and given Congress time to negotiate bipartisan legislation. I’m disappointed that our Republican colleagues wouldn’t join us in that effort.

So efficient!
💰 The Cost of Bullets 💰

The DoD spends $26.9M/week for civilian employees to write & submit weekly bullet points—that’s $1.4B per year of taxpayer💲. All for a redundant task that exists only to make our lives miserable.

Is this really the best use of tax dollars? #WastefulSpending #DoDBureaucracy

@schumer.senate.gov is about to knife his own party by voting for cloture today on the CR. @friendsofusaid.bsky.social calls bullshit and we have to wonder: what kompromat did they get on Chuck? Because he sure ain't telling us the truth about his vote. #NotOneVote #saveforeignaid

Trump was asked at the (Tesla White House Sales) event if he was concerned about the stock market: “Nope! Doesn't concern me. I think some people are going to make great deals by buying stocks and bonds and all the things they're buying...”
And that right there is the truth.

NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more.

The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law.

No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.
