Kamala Harris on The View on election night: "That night -- I grieved in a way that I have not since my mother died. The pain was not at all about losing a race. I knew what it was going to mean for the country ... all I could say over and over was 'my God, my God, my God.' It was very difficult."

Really, how is this being funded?

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.gov

When Congress funded the DOD, there was no line item for big-boy birthday presidential military parades. Where did the money for Trump’s vainglorious spectacle come from? Cutting Army pay and benefits? Reducing training? Or just Departmental slush funds from bloated annual budgets?

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022. That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations. So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

How is this legal?

Trump is sunsetting FEMA and plans to distribute all disaster relief funds not out of the Dept of Homeland Security, but directly from the WHITE HOUSE. Disaster relief will be GROSSLY politicized. Governors will have to kiss the ring to get access to resources to help their states. More below:

“He said he will target & punish those who disagree with him or refuse to bend to his will. He calls these Americans ‘The Enemy Within’, including journalists & judges. He says he would use the American Military to go after American Citizens.” -Kamala Harris. She Was Right About Everything.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Earth Day is a reminder that we only have one planet. Sometimes, it takes seeing Earth from space to truly grasp how precious it is. 🧵⬇️ (1/4)

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

At this point, you can’t convince me they aren’t manipulating the market. As soon as the indexes started peaking today, the White House started talking about tariffs on China, and everything is in the red again.

Let’s be clear. He sold $2.4 billion of his stock the day before he announced tariffs. He’s now crashing the stock market deliberately. He will then buy stock when it’s fallen through the floor. All this is is him stiffing everyone to get richer. That’s it.

Saturday morning (29 Mar 25) in Maine, the sun rose with an unusual appearance, as if it had "horns of fire." This was because a partial solar eclipse was in progress, covering about 85% of the sun's disk at the time. This image was captured by Fabrizio Melandri of Monticello.
