Rather than attended the dignified transfer of the remains of four U.S. soldiers killed on his watch, Trump will be dining with his Saudi golf buddies.

There's a lot going on, God knows, but don't miss that the President of the United States is using the full force of the Federal government, as well as tax dollars, to punish a state because its Governor... refused to do as he instructed. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/02/u...

I bet everyone around trump KNEW that his formula for reciprocal tariffs was insane, but just could NOT tell him that and instead smiled and said “yes sir you’re so smart! Brilliant!”

Michigan auto workers voted for the orange felon and now many of them are being laid off due to his trade war tariffs and he doesn’t give a single fuck who suffers. Don’t cry, you’re finding out.

Any farmers out there that can speak to whether they can get info for planting season ? Or loans to help them get through this ? Are federal offices open to even process loan requests ?

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.

REPORTER: Do you think the president should move forward tomorrow with tariffs? MIKE JOHNSON: Look, you have to trust the president's instincts on the economy. Trump bankrupted 6 casinos, but sure imposing tariffs will turn the economy around. #ProudBlue Liberation Day #TrumpTariffs

I’m hearing from Social Security recipients in MA who’ve been marked as "not currently receiving payments,” on the Social Security website. Social Security is something you are legally entitled to. Elon's attack on Social Security is illegal—and it's hurting people.

Murphy: "Newsflash: These guys are incompetent. They don't know what they're doing. We hired a weekend Fox News host with no diplomatic or management experience with a checkered personal history of abuse and alcoholism to be our chief national security official. And it's going very badly."

Booker was not performative. Firstly, politics is always a performance. But 'performative' is when someone does something for 5 minutes because it's the hot topic of the day: aka, Nancy Pelosi in kente. Booker is embodied. He brought the fire we've been begging to see. He was a warrior. Respect.

Crawford: Today, Wisconsinites fended off an unprecedented attack on our democracy, our fair elections, and our Supreme Court.. Wisconsin stood up and said that justice does not have a price, our courts are not for sale

He wore the cheesehead hat in WI. Spent $20 million. Paid people to sign petitions. Paid people to canvas. Did million dollar giveaways. A rally. TV interviews. But I guess people in Wisconsin didn’t appreciate an oligarch trying to buy their civil liberties.

If I was a judge and a DOJ lawyer filed a brief saying "yes, we mistakenly shipped someone with a right to be here to a foreign gulag but you have no power to order us to bring him back" I'd put that lawyer in jail until that person was brought back.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

The U.S is the wealthiest country in the history of the world. We should not have the highest rate of child poverty of nearly every major country on earth. We should have the lowest.   It's time to end this international embarrassment & create an economy that works for all.
