U.S. stocks rocketed after Trump announced a 90-day pause on many tariffs.

He’s creating a trauma bond with the country by stirring up market volatility & economic uncertainty. It’s emotional abuse on a grand scale: “I’ll hurt you & scare you, but you know I’m the only one who can make it better.”

Catholics love them some drama! The Church just named Robert Prevost, a guy from Chicago, the new Pope…

…thereby displacing Trump as the most important American (at least for a little while), and he’s gonna lose it.

Brace yourself for the back-handed compliments & outright digs!

I have two 11yo girls. Let’s get a few things straight:

1. Don’t call 11yo kids “baby girls.” Ew. WTF?

2. IDK any kid that has 30 dolls. But stuffed animals… JFC they have way more than 30.

3. PENCILS? Only a grown ass man who writes with markers would limit pencils for kids.
Trump: I don't think a beautiful baby girl that's 11 years old needs to have 30 dolls. I think they can have 3 dolls or four dolls...they don't need to have 250 pencils. They can have 5.

Sounds like a true communist to me

The irony of The White House posting this pic of President & MAGA Cult Leader in Chief Donald Trump as the Catholic Pope (and the incensed reactions of many highly religious people) is that religion itself is often incredibly cult-like, and a great number of cults are disguised as religion.

OhMyFuckingGod.

Just learned about the Trump administration deporting a mom to Honduras w/ her two kids who are US citizens—one of whom is A FOUR-YEAR-OLD WITH FUCKING STAGE 4 CANCER.

**The cruelty is the point.**

The unconscionable, hateful, sadistic cruelty is the motherfucking point.
U.S. citizen children, including 4-year-old with cancer, taken to Honduras on mother's deportation flight, legal advocates say
Two siblings, ages 4 and 7, were flown out of the U.S. on their mother’s deportation flight before attorneys could reach them, according to the National Immigration Project.

Trump said Russia’s latest deadly attacks on Ukraine were “very bad timing.”

The callousness. The narcissism. The utter lack of humanity. Those three little words tell you everything you need to know about Trump’s character.

'Vladimir, STOP!' says Trump as Putin launches worst attack on Ukraine in months
For Ukraine and its supporters, the attacks symbolized the hypocrisy of Russia’s position. The U.S. president described the bombardment as "not necessary" and "very bad timing."

Elon Musk’s DOGE cronies have been sending sensitive information from US agencies to Russia, via Starlink.

I’m looking forward to the day when people stop claiming “Putin isn’t as smart as he thinks he is” and start realizing Putin actually is a master strategist, a puppeteer, and an “evil genius.”
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

Trump’s goal isn’t really about tariffs or deportations or tax cuts or healthcare.

All of this arbitrary, capricious governance is to create a nation where everyone anxiously, breathlessly watches Trump’s mood, his expression, to see if he frowns or smiles.

This kind of "I get up today and decide to do a whole new thing without consulting any one" is exactly the kind of arbitrary and capricious use of Mad King George type of power our democracy and democracies throughout the world were built to be a bulwark against.
From Hopium:
- Madman Trump has pushed US into an economic, geopolitical, Constitutional crisis. He is far more an American saboteur than American President
- We need to rally behind new Kaine Senate resolution to rescind the tariffs, rein in Trump

In Trump's America, the one thing you can count on is a potential market meltdown every 90 days.

Ask yourself: what CEO, business, or trading partner in their right mind is going to ever invest in America when a psychopath tries to blow up the economy every 90 days?

Zelenskyy has the weight of the world on his shoulders, but calmly stood his ground as Trump and Vance bullied him. Republicans in Congress should take notes.

2 against 1 gets you kicked out of The White House.

271 against 2 would get THEM kicked out The White House.

One thing about Jimmy Carter that I’ll always remember and honor is that he rightly challenged the legitimacy of Trump’s 2016 election “win.”

He was the one & only figure in the Democratic Party who dared to say aloud what everyone else knew:

We didn’t choose our President. Russia did.

Congressional Democrats have the perfect model of leadership in Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

Once an unlikely hero, he’s come to symbolize courage, determination, and unity in the fight for #democracy. A man of the people, for the people.

The Dem base & diehards are tired. We need our own Zelenskyy.
