It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence.

They are in charge.

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego
Astonishing RFK Jr interview with NBC. At 23.30 he claims pharmaceuticals are the 3rd leading cause of death in the US [wtf]. He discloses the name & medical history of the 2nd child to die of measles, implies she wasn't healthy & argues about her cause of death. @gorskon.bsky.social

The WH has no idea what it's doing, why it's doing it, or how it will work. And Trump can't explain it because he doesn't understand it either. So he repeats empty platitudes like "we'll make lots of money" because he knows his base will believe anything he says.
JFC. So the White House now confirms that their not-actually-at-all-reciprocal tariffs are totally unrelated to actual tariffs imposed on us, and just calculated based on our trade deficit, on the assumption that this is a proxy for “cheating”. nypost.com/2025/04/02/u...

Elon Musk has fired thousands of USDA workers, which could cause grocery prices to rise and invasive species to spread.

DOGE fired food experts, inspectors, entomologists, and more.

Now food could rot in ports or be riddled with invasive pests.

Texas Republicans want to make lawsuits against Elon Musk and other corporate leaders virtually impossible.

The bill would prevent most suits against corporate officers in the state’s new business courts, set up to have separate legal protections for corporations.

NEWS: Sources tell me that DOGE is setting its sights on the Department of Labor next. DOL workers have been ordered to give DOGE access to whatever they ask for—or risk termination.

“We’re supposed to stop everything we’re doing and do whatever the DOGE kids ask… It feels dirty and illegal.”

I know the “imagine if a Democrat did this” is overplayed, but if a Democratic president had given George Soros access to government personnel details and Treasury payments I’m pretty sure we’d have a literal civil war.

Trump put a freeze on hiring air traffic controllers and, on Musk’s instruction, fired the FAA chief early without replacing him.

This should be the only thing Dems are saying today. They should all be out on media saying this.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Last year, we talked to air traffic controllers and found out they’re working 10-hour shifts, 6 days a week, with mandatory overtime.

Trump’s cuts to the federal workforce and push to privatize air traffic control could make matters even worse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyN6...
