If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country.

We will hold this administration accountable.

At 1:34 AM Trump called for DOJ to investigate Kamala Harris, Beyoncé, Springsteen, Oprah and others for crimes, he then made another deranged post about it at 9:11 AM, and the lead story of the day on MSNBC and CNN continues to be Joe Biden in 2023.

Musk’s DOGE goons looted the NLRB like state-sponsored hackers, exfiltrating union data, case files, and corporate secrets—then scrubbed the logs. Russia tried logging in with the stolen credentials. This isn’t efficiency; it’s espionage. Authoritarian rot now has root access to democracy.

"It is important to understand that there is no—none, *zero*—practical reason to imprison an American citizen abroad....The only reason America would need to use foreign prisons would be to get around the American legal system." And Trump has expressed interest in doing just that.

in fairness to the market no one could have guessed that a nearly 80 year-old ex-President with a messianic self-certainty and the hyperfixation of a toddler would enact a policy he spent each and every day of a two-year campaign promising to enact!
CNBC reacts right after Trump's "Liberation Day" tariff announcement: "And the market reaction after hours -- I’ve never seen anything like it. This -- I think, fair to say -- is worse than the worst-case scenario of the tariffs that many in the market expected the president to impose."
