ICYMI - Samuel L. Jackson (!!) narrated this powerful video for Saturday's No Kings rally about the strength of Minnesotans protesting ICE:
"When your neighbors are being attacked and your communities are being targeted, you don't give up. You don't look away. You don't back down. You showed up."
Bier: "Over the last 30 years, we looked at all the government budgets -- federal, state, and local combined. Immigrants reduce deficits by $14.5 trillion."
Lots of scrambling today by the terrible regime.
I want to argue that our goal should be to get Miller removed, that has to be the focus. Noem, Bovino, etc are all just middle managers. The architect of the terror regime is Miller.

In my a new post I talk about how JD Vance and Stephen Miller have been responsible for the two biggest political disasters of Trump's second term so far - Greenland and Minnesota. Their "rules no longer apply to us" project is taking a huge, deserved hit.

The federal government is unrecognizable.
The White House is currently running politics of twisted nostalgia and restoring the dynamics of a bygone era. This is not normal.
Appreciate Bloomberg reporting what truly happened on the 5 year anniversary of January 6th.
Joe Mathieu is the best and Balance of Power is my source for balanced news.
“.. it is Trump’s moral indifference to the human rights transgressions of his partners in the peace plan that allows him to break through old paradigms. ..
“.. That is the same moral indifference that will prevent him from ever getting a Nobel.”

Judge Immergut quotes James Madison from the
Records of the Federal Convention of 1787: “A standing
military force, with an overgrown Executive will not long be safe companions to liberty. The
means of defence [against] foreign danger, have been always the instruments of tyranny at
home.”
BREAKING: In a stunning moment, renowned journalist Scott Pelley just highlighted how Donald Trump is working to stifle free speech in America, and how he plans on fighting back. This is huge.
Pope Francis’s "Urbi et Orbi" Easter speech:
“How much contempt is stirred up at times towards the vulnerable, the marginalized and migrants...I appeal to all those in positions of political responsibility in our world not to yield to the logic of fear which only leads to isolation from others.”
NEW: When a firefighter dies, a small team of federal health workers helps pinpoint what went wrong and identify how to avoid similar accidents in the future.
Trump laid off nearly all of them.
“.. Our worst enemies could not design a better way to harm our government than what is going on right now ..”

THREAD: The Trump administration's DOJ has removed a study from the NIJ website that found that immigrants, and particularly undocumented immigrants, commit crimes at significantly lower rates than U.S. citizens.
The study is at odds with the Trump regime's propaganda about immigrants & crime. (1)

You’d think when you’re claiming the richest country in the world can’t afford childhood cancer research you might wait a year before throwing yourself a 100 million dollar birthday parade. But carpe diem, suckers.
i think we are underestimating the possibilitythe rest of the free world will try to make things as shit as possible for the american voter to hurt trump/republicans
Excellent observation by @robin-j-brooks.bsky.social. If global markets truly crack, there’ll be less international cooperation — if any.
“The rest of the world wants this sell-off to get worse ..”
We talk about this on-air a lot.
What company is going to spend the $$ to bring production home — knowing that trade policy and tariffs could *reverse* just as the plant is ready to open?

Since January, SpaceX has received over $560 million in government contracts—an amount projected to surpass $2 billion in taxpayer funding by year’s end, averaging roughly $6.1 million per day. Follow the money and see where it goes.
(WaPo) - The Social Security Administration website crashed four times in 10 days this month, blocking millions of retirees and disabled Americans from logging in to their online accounts ..

(Bloomberg) - The US Supreme Court dealt a blow to President Donald Trump’s foreign-aid freeze, reinstating a lower court order that requires the quick disbursement of as much as $2 billion owed to contractors for already completed work.

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.
But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.
He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

One of Trump's executive orders seeks to undermine the Endangered Species Act. This move empowers a committee of his own appointees to decide the fate of an endangered species, prioritizing the desires of special interests over wildlife and biodiversity.
Black excellence: Twice as qualified, half as respected, and still passed over or labeled as a ‘DEI hire.’
Black folks have always known this because we’ve seen it happen to our own family members. I know I have.
