Trump's partisan double standard for assassinations is chilling Why Trump’s different responses to Charlie Kirk and Melissa Hortman's assassinations matter.

Charlie Kirk funded the buses that brought the terrorists to the Capitol on January 6th 2021.

Ahem …

Medicare for All - "That's socialism!" Social Security - "That's socialism!" Debt free education - "That's socialism!" Universal childcare - "That's socialism!" $1 trillion+ in tax cuts for the wealthy... "That's just how it is."

Rep. Jasmine Crockett—is the Vice Ranking Member of the Oversight Committee and she is next in line, y’all. 🔥 Let’s rally behind her because she’s the fierce fighter we need. @repjasmine.bsky.social

#MedicareForAll matters because every single American's health matters.

🚨Constituent Win: Sandra reached out to our office about delays in her Social Security payments. Our casework team successfully worked with SSA to lift the suspension on her account. Now, she will be receiving $12,000 in overdue funds.(1/2)

I defend HUMAN RIGHTS. You’re a man? So what. You’re a woman? Congratulations. You’re Black? I don’t need to know that. Green? Same thing. You’re short? 🤷🏻‍♂️ You’re tall? 🤷🏻‍♂️ The only fucking thing I need to know is that you’re a HUMAN BEING…and not trying to fuck my freedom up.

JB Pritzker is calling for DISRUPTION because not one elected Democrat in Washington is doing so….and he’s tired of listening to and watching them go through the motions…pretending to do something meaningful while the country is burning down around us.

Insurance companies aren’t just players in the fight with doctors over money; they’re also the referees. They produce their own guidelines on when to pay claims. If a doctor appeals a denial, insurers make all the initial decisions. By @tchristianmiller.bsky.social

This is getting fewer headlines than it should. After coming to power promising to help working people, the president is revealing his real priorities by actively making it easier for banks to rip people off.

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

Omg

Has Trump said a single word about this?

“One of the top MS-13 members”? This woman is an officer of the court and the Attorney General of the United States. She knows that she wields immense power and responsibility. Yet here she is on national TV, making baseless claims about a guy her boss wrongly sent to a gulag in El Salvador.

In mid-March, ICE started detaining immigrants in tent camps in the U.S. for the first time, built by a company once known for operating music festival facilities that is poised to make a fortune on Trump's deportation plans.

I am advocating for due process for Abrego Garcia.

No revenues but at the same time people here are curtailing their purchases and investments, and other countries *are* collecting tariffs on U.S. imports. The worst of all worlds! Only a stable genius could have accomplished all this!!

"Jack, Trump wants these protests to grow bigger. He wants a reason to shut everything down. If he thinks he will lose (seats) in the midterms, he might cancel the election. The American people are the only thing that can fix this." -Joe Walsh, during our LIVE video on Substack

Trump has 90 days to do 150 trade deals. Financial markets aren’t buying it By David Goldman @CNN www.cnn.com/2025/04/11/i...

Casar: At the end of the day, this is about taking your hard-earned money and giving it to themselves—or funneling it to their friends. That’s all this is about.

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

Trump is engaging in a massive purge of public servants, so why does he want firms to offer them pro bono help? It will legal aid for Trump appointees for when the break the law (also, the firms are told to hire Trump admin alum). They are turning these law firms into Trump law firms.

Yesterday, Republicans passed a so-called “budget” resolution that would gut Medicaid, SNAP, veterans’ benefits, and free school lunches. Let me break down what that means for my people in TX-30: 🧵 (1/4)

Not a single word to help the 33m small businesses in this country. Not from anyone in the administration. So many buy from China, and don't have alternatives. So many didn't have the cash to front run the tariffs and buy inventory

There are numerous calls to investigate whether Trump and his cronies engaged in insider trading, pump and dumps, etc. But it won't be DOJ. It won't be the SEC. It won't be Congress. You know who CAN investigate this? NY AG Letitia James - who has jurisdiction over Wall St.

Not for nothing, but how, exactly, is it legal to send people for *punishment* in a foreign prison (esp with no due process)? Were the funds being used for it appropriated for this purpose? I feel this has just become a thing no one questions

Judge Xinis: I'm ordering daily status updates to be filed in this case until these issues are resolved. Answer my questions by 5 pm ET tomorrow. And the following day after the DOJ files its affidavit, we can have a hearing.

SCOOP: The Social Security Administration (SSA) will be shifting its public communication exclusively to X, sources tell WIRED. This comes as agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent.

Trump’s administration has falsely declared more than 6,300 immigrants dead—adding the names and ss numbers of thousands of living, breathing people to the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File. They will no longer be able to access their bank accounts or use their credit cards.

I remember VERY clearly, as if it were yesterday, how MAGA blamed President Biden for everything, including train crashes. In fact, they STILL blame him. If he were president, and planes were falling out of the sky daily, is there any fucking doubt they'd be hanging the blame on him for THAT? Nope.

Make no mistake — the Trump administration is refusing to comply with the Supreme Court as it pertains to Abrego Garcia's release. This is where we are now. This is what they are doing. This is only the beginning.

"It was eight last week, 50 now," said Hayden Nguyen, the co-chair of SJP at ASU and a sophomore studying business policy and management. "We don't know where it's going to be next week, and we need to build a really strong movement." www.statepress.com/article/2025...

The pro bono services will be directed toward "causes that both Trump and the firms support" as well as those ensuring "fairness in our Justice System." All five firms also agreed not to “engage in illegal DEI discrimination and preferences” and commit to “Merit-Based Hiring.”

Federal judge refuses to block immigration enforcement operations in churches in a lawsuit brought by religious groups. MAGA is all about religion...except when they're not.

This is corrupt. This is the “swamp.” This is wrong, and this should be illegal. I said this when I was in Congress, and I’ve said it ever since - it should be illegal for Members of Congress to buy & sell stocks & bonds.👇

CNN's lead: "Millions of people took part in protests" against Trump and Musk "across all 50 states and globally on Saturday, organized by a pro-democracy movement in response to what they call a 'hostile takeover' and attack on American rights and freedoms." www.cnn.com/2025/04/05/u...
