Donald Trump is stealing $1 billion from the Pentagon to renovate his private plane from Quatar. Why would he possibly want a private plane? I wonder. Maybe he misses his Epstein days so much he wants a re-enactment That’s what it sounds like to me

“Stawp being mean to me” 🤣

Happy No Kings Day! Find a protest. Let’s hit that 3.5% If you’re in DC, I’ll see you in the action www.nokings.org#map

The level of ignorance among Trump voters is staggering. It’s an indictment of American democracy The news landscape should be more approachable and substantive Schools should teach how to identify a dictator I mean, voters had 1 job

Asia is de-investing $7.5 Trillion from the US It’s hard to keep track of the trillions of losses that Trump has caused in the short term. And we’ll be spending the next decades tracking his trillions of losses in the long term Our finances are unsustainable news.bloomberglaw.com/internationa...

For those who don’t believe in God, but still want religion, consider a prayer to your lost loved ones. Praying to people is very different than praying to a God. You don’t ask for anything. Instead, it gives you a chance to apologize, to promise, to reflect, to feel gratitude for happy memories

How long will red state voters be Trump’s little bitches? They depend more on Medicaid than blue state voters They depend on renewable energy projects more than blue state voters The “hate the man, love his policies” approach to Trump has been replaced by blind loyalty At the expense of the GOP

Trump is asking the world to buy $4 trillion of bonds while making the dollar’s value less trustworthy We’ll be less productive, have higher inflation, and less advancements in tech and energy All to fund the gaudy lives of the wealthy. Yachts and gold toilets

This is such a do-nothing news cycle - Israel: still cruel - War in Ukraine: still devastating - Congress: still reverse robin hooding - Trump: still corrupt - Biden: still old, but — this just in — now he’s also sick…but will still live another 5-10 years, which matches his prognosis for being old

Low consumer confidence risks less consumer spending, which means job losses Tariffs just keep giving. It’s going to be awhile www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

NPR reports: “The dollar's already in decline. The percentage of reserve currencies held by central banks in dollars has been drifting lower and lower. It peaked at 73% in 2001. It is now 58%” The world has been subsidizing our way of life by purchasing our currency. It doesn’t have to be that way

Although it’s unpopular to say so, the debt actually is becoming a real problem Trump has spent more, not less The deficit is rising The dollar is falling And now servicing the debt will be more expensive Fiscal collapse is not likely, but runaway inflation is www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/b...

Another instance of the Trump admin being handed a good thing and trying to destroy it www.nytimes.com/2025/05/14/h...

For decades, there’s been an irony. The US invents tech and other countries actually use that tech And now Trump is giving away AI tech to the Middle East www.nytimes.com/2025/05/16/b...

Sometimes, I like to cobble together solutions from other countries as if I could bring them to the US Norway’s sovereign wealth fund Finland’s defense Swedish education Taiwanese healthcare Danish city planning Estonian digitalization Japanese automation Icelandic feminism Each with their nuances

For anyone looking for a simple high crime and misdemeanor, Trump has raked in billions from crypto It’s worse than posting a bribery box outside of the White House. Convenient and easy bribery for foreign powers on the go www.reuters.com/world/middle...

How ludicrous is it that a significant portion of the population wants more education, but can’t get it?! When ppl say that they want to gain more skills and add more value to the economy and we tell them “no”, it is self-sabotaging to our nation Maybe China can afford to waste ppl, we cannot

As if the cuts will hurt voters of some other country 🙃

Ports in Seattle and LA have been empty! East coast soon will follow! CEO of JP Morgan, who’s incentivized to share positive outlooks on the economy, said that the best case scenario is a “mild recession”

It’s like a failing group project where that one kid has to pick up all the slack. And he’s not even that popular so he could be kicked out of the group at any time

And instead of more manufacturing, less manufacturing And less jobs in general And less social programs to help And higher prices And the polls are totally lying Best President ever ✌️🤪✌️

Hear me out. Instead of many dolls, how about fewer, more expensive dolls? You’re welcome. 💅

Trump laying off federal workers caused a spike in protests, Democratic candidates, and social activism Now more layoffs are coming, in practically every industry, nationwide

yes, sweetie, abolishing the monarchy includes disney princesses. stop crying. you’re 5, too old to be a royalist simp

And the $100+ million price tag and destroying DC’s roads doesn’t quite convey “efficiency” to me

Yes, Trump is a continuation of the darkest days of the America Slavery The Trail of Tears Jim Crow The Red Scare Operation Wetback Internment Camps We’ve struggled to contain this stuff in the past and we’ll continue to struggle There will be no point when we’ll get to say that it’s gone forever

The term “problematic” 🤣 How much farther before we get to “whoopsie” or “aw dang”?

I found waste, fraud, and abuse! Quick, who do I tell?! 🤣

Recently, I’ve had to let go of the notion that the arc of history bends towards progress It really doesn’t. The arc of history must be manually bent We will never reach a cruising altitude, effortlessly flying above the dogmas of our past We have to fight and fight and fight some more

And now that judge is deemed an enemy to the state Because in Trump-world, he is the law So on to the appeals court and then the Supreme Court. We’ll see how far that Unitary Executive Theory will go

All of Trump’s solutions introduce scarcity Less immigrants Less allies Less products Less trade Less government services Less freedoms Just burning progress to satisfy a fantasy

Without automation: low prices and high-wages don’t mix Without automation: all the human labor in the US would still be dwarfed by China’s There is no path for US manufacturing dominance without automation So stop this nostalgia around old-timey factory labor and bring on the robots!

I get that there has to be villains in history, but why can’t we have a cool villain? The oversized tie&suit, the fake haircut, the thick layer of bronzer, and his gaudy tastes 🤢 He’s so bad, he bad at being bad. He’s just comes off as stupid

Trump’s views are so contradictory! He wants a strong dollar so he can bully other nations But he also wants a weak dollar to make our exports appealing (total bs btw) He wants Americans back in factories, but he wants next-gen AI to automate factories What a moron

We legitimately dropped the ball on manufacturing, but not in the way Trump says Before our nostalgia for factories, we had a nostalgia for farms. Even tho nobody works on farms, we’re still the breadbasket of the world All of it is thanks to automation. We can automate manufacturing too

It’s so upside-down for any government to remove public services So many governments beg their ppl for the political capital to build public services. They are constantly trying to earn enough trust, promising that they won’t mess it up And here’s Trump setting fire to them and villainizing them

In an executive order, President Trump directs the Corporation for Public Broadcasting to stop funding NPR and PBS, the nation's primary public broadcasters.

Trump’s one tool is intimidation. But the bond market cannot be intimidated Foreign countries aren’t intimidated Dems and many institutions aren’t intimidated Everywhere fear doesn’t penetrate, Trump fails

The USDA will no longer require Salmonella checks on poultry. You can practically taste Trump’s America 🤢

It can’t last forever

Oat milk tastes so good this time of year! www.reuters.com/business/hea...

This is my representative! Finally! He’s stepping aside! Please, please retire! C’mon AOC! Take his place! www.politico.com/live-updates...

The port of Seattle is empty! As the last ships to have left China before the tariffs arrive, ports from West to East are progressively emptying out. CEO of JP Morgan, who’s incentivized to share positive outlooks on the economy, said that the best case scenario is a “mild recession”

Institutional resistance. In the face of Trumpism, it is up to each of us to do our part to say, “I didn’t hear no bell!” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/27/b...

100 days down

Trump arrested a judge. In case there was any doubt, we’re in the endgame now amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/04/...
