“they are getting rich directly off the market chaos that’s ruining your retirement and gutting your investments” is the kind of shit that makes people very angry
The insider trading shit is a good angle and I’m glad dems are going with it, because it’s simple enough to be easily comprehensible and just straight up corruption.

Does this make Trump a Panican?
🚨 BREAKING: Trump PAUSES most tariffs for 90 days amid economic turmoil. He adds that he has authorized a "substantially lowered reciprocal tariff during this period, of 10%."

Trump also says he is increasing tariffs on China to 125%.

By the way, both women who ran for president were right. They predicted this moment would happen. Says something very disturbing about our country that many still think they’re unrealistic or dramatic, when they were and are, in fact, correct.

This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.

Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."

We are deporting innocent men without any due process to a foreign gulag because they have tattoos about soccer, autism awareness, and loving their mothers.
NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos.

Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

Based on this fast and excellent WaPo reporting, these four guys are not gang members, just Venezuelan dads who came to the US to work. They’re now being paraded in shackles in El Salvador www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...
For four Venezuelan friends, Alien Enemies Act cuts short an American dream
President Donald Trump used the Alien Enemies Act to deport Venezuelans accused of being gang members. Relatives of men sent to El Salvador deny the allegation.

Trump allies boast that this is another "80-20 issue"— meaning 80% of public likes his policy deporting gang members.
But it's only "80-20" if you lie about what the policy is. Trump is deporting people he arbitrarily *alleges* are gang members, without due process to determine if they really are.
This is horrifying! Family members of some of the people sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison by Trump confirm their loved ones weren't members of a gang.

One woman said her brother got a tattoo of a rose in Dallas, and because of that they accused him of being a gang member.

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.
re the previous repost: if they can disappear permanent residents they can disappear citizens

No fair laying it all out point by point with receipts you make the president look like he’s trying to take all of our money
Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!!

As we’ve been saying on Strict Scrutiny, @strictscrutiny.bsky.social, SCOTUS (Roberts & Co.) have to own so much of what Trump 2.0 is doing - they cleared the way for his re-election, and effectively anointed him a king above the law.
“Thank you again. Thank you again. Won’t forget it,” Trump says while shaking the hand of Supreme Court Justice John Roberts after the State of the Union.

Spending funds Congress has not appropriated literally violates the Constitution and to do so knowingly and willfully is a crime punishable by two years in prison. See 31 USC 1341(a) and 1350.

No one wants a paper trail because spending funds Congress has not appropriated is colloquially known as “stealing from the US Treasury.”

Measles outbreaks are back. Grocery and gas prices are up. Bird flu is spreading. All our allies hate us. Air travel is getting unsafe. The stock market is tanking. The government is about to shut down.

And he’s only been President for six weeks. This is just the beginning.

NEW: When the Trump Admin abruptly cancelled almost all USAID programs, it also refused to pay $2bln the U.S. govt owes **for work that’s been done.**

I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.
