Today some people are just waking up and realizing for the first time that Trump is a child rapist while I can’t remember a time that I didn’t know that Trump was an incestuous child rapist.

Trump is trying to create a database of all Americans with AI. A master list of all Americans, bank accounts, social security # etc which I’m sure Saint Upid won’t have access, right? MAGA keep clapping like seals. The hypothetical day you base the whole 2nd Amendment on is here.

Dont' miss this excellent story from Gillian Brockwell, who found the mystery ICE flight to Africa & teamed up with several of us yesterday to track it halfway around the world. As of this morning, we haven't seen the plane leave Djibouti. bsky.app/profile/gbro...

Gillian Brockell@gillianbrockell.com

My account of tracking the plane flying immigrants to South Sudan over the past 23 hours. As I explain here, it's likely the plane can't leave Djibouti until 10 hours after it landed. That's in about 45 minutes. hardghistory.ghost.io/a-private-je...

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me. There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine. The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

She is always right.

Why would a leader tank his own country's economy? It's a key part of the aspiring autocrat's playbook. Tariffs & chaos mean more power & control for Trump. But America has no king. The Republican-led Congress can stop this at any time. Let your reps hear from you. 5calls.org/issue/trump-...

This needs to all be explained to everyone everyday until they get it!

Chris Murphy@chrismurphyct.bsky.social

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

3/ You see, our founders created a President with limited and checked powers. They specifically put the power of spending and taxation in the hands of the legislature. Why? Because they watched how kings and despots used spending and taxes to control their subjects.

When will people stop living in a fantasy world where Trump cares about the national debt OR trade deficits? Tariffs are to make money that he intends to go in his pockets when he loots the treasury.

No comments allowed on @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social post. Maybe because y’all still take trump at his word. But he’s given conflicting reasons for tariffs. We all know the real reason. He wants to make America like Russia and himself like Putin. Any other analysis is wrong!!!

BREAKING: Trump threatens 200% tariff on European wine, champagne + alcohol if EU doesn't lift 50% tariff on U.S. whiskey msnbc.com/mj

Trump didn’t just announce tariffs… he threatened our allies. He said he wants to take over Canada. He surrendered Ukraine. He’s made the US an adversary to our allies and done a huge favor to those who are still our enemies. We’ll be lucky if this recession doesn’t become a depression.

People drag farmers who benefited from contracts under Biden, then voted Trump. But what about CEOs who made record profits under Biden—who did the same? Trump had no economic plan for growth. Mass deportation and tariffs—a recipe for disaster. CEO Trump voters aren’t any smarter than the farmers.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Sometimes it feels like I’m going crazy, because there is something that is right in front of our faces, has been for years, and nobody of consequence ever says it: Donald Trump works for Vladimir Putin. How much more proof does anyone need? And what is anybody going to do about it?

Update: Elon Musk has now posted several times in support of Georgescu; Trump has also threatened Romania in the last few days trying to pressure them to allow the Russian operative to run for presidency. JD Vance specifically went to Europe to add pressure on this issue.

Trump and Vance needed to create an incident to provide a justification for their pre-planned abandonment of Ukraine now, then separation from NATO in the near future. That’s what that was all about, and that was always the way a second Trump term was going to go.

that Trumpers think the US Postal *SERVICE* should be a profit-making enterprise exposes the fallacy in their conception of government

Well… I read the weather service is next. Let me fast forward to the end for you… Anything that the government does that can be turned into a for-profit business like air traffic control will be privatized and given to a trump buddy to run.

Wait a minute. You mean to say that we don’t need to blanket the earth with data centers and coal & gas plants to maybe arrive at a future where we can wave a magical AGI wand to make all of the consequences of that go away? Yes. This is a false trade off. Let that sink in. 16/

So it doesn’t matter if you're a company in the US, China, or elsewhere. DeepSeek should be a cue to pivot HARD toward investing in far more efficient methods of AI development. Even if you care nothing about community & climate impacts, it’s just better business. 19/

Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
