Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today:

He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution

He’s fine with a recession

Americans can do with less

Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

Advocating for universal healthcare is not extreme.

What’s extreme is pushing Americans into debt if they get sick, just because it makes an executive richer.

While pastors and priests abuse kids

While their President is a rapist.

While kids are killed in mass school shootings.

As a criminal defense attorney, the vast majority of my cases were NOT immigrants.

So let's stop pretending immigrants are the problem when there's a 34-count convicted felon sitting in the White House.

The hypocrisy is outrageous.

Layoffs at NOAA, which warns us about severe weather

Attacking NIH, which finds cures for illnesses

Dismantling SSA, which administers Social Security payments

Terminating food inspectors and food safety committees at the USDA...

The "specifics" of DOGE put us all at risk.

Senate Republicans just voted to hand banks a shiny new gift: the freedom to hit Americans with $35 overdraft fees instead of the $5 cap set by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The original limit was due to kick in later this year and was projected to save people $5 billion annually.

Because of the pay gap, women have lost out on more than $60 trillion in wages since 1967.

Yes, trillion.

On an hourly basis, women were paid 18.0% less on average than men in 2024.

We must ensure fair wages for all.

This from @fpwellman.bsky.social is exactly right - Russ Vought promised the Trump administration would “traumatize” federal Employees and incapacitate the government, and they are doing exactly that — as the media normalizes it.

This flew under the radar, but Trump revoked a minimum wage hike for companies that contract with the government.

An estimated 390,000 workers will now see significant pay cuts.

It's not surprising that Trump's populism is fake, but it's hardly ever been more clear.

When this man approached a group of protesters waving Mexican flags, the interaction definitely didn’t go how we expected.

Under the House GOP’s budget plan, the lowest-income taxpayers would see a LOSS of $1,125.

The richest 0.1 percent of taxpayers, on the other hand, would see a more than $180,000 GAIN.

This is trickle down economics on steroids.

If Hamas had killed 7 Israelis inside of Israel this week, it would be one of the biggest stories in the world, & all over the US media.

But Israel killed 7 HUNDRED Palestinians this week, including almost 200 children, & yet there's little outrage from our politicians or media.

The stock market is still crashing, housing and rent prices are still rising, grocery costs are still surging, but good news -- the populist champions in the GOP are focused on issues that matter most:
Fox News is now talking about people getting the death penalty for attacking Teslas

Just so we’re all clear, the Supreme Court *expressly ruled* that the president cannot fire FTC commissioners without cause in 1935’s Humphrey’s Executor. Trump’s action here is brazenly illegal under any interpretation of the law as it stands. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...
Exclusive: Trump fires both Democratic commissioners at FTC, sources say
President Donald Trump fired the two Democratic commissioners at the U.S. Federal Trade Commission on Tuesday, two sources familiar with the situation said, in another major test of the independence of regulatory agencies.

For the umpteenth time, collective punishment is a war crime, and bombing civilians is not justified by hostage taking.
