His "brilliant strategy"...

Himes: I have a theory on how this ends… You’re going to see oil go across $100… Projections for economic growth are going to go down. And at some point in 3-5 weeks, the president is going to say this is really not tenable. And he’s going to declare victory and walk away.

No offense to goats! 🐐 🐐 🐐

Coons: "I'm alarmed by reports Trump is considering allowing Nvidia to sell China their most advanced chip. The defining fight of the 21st century will be who controls AI... it would be a tragic mistake for Trump, in order to get some soybeans out of China, to sell them these critical AI chips"

Q: How comfortable are you w/Trump seeking $230m from the DOJ? MIKE JOHNSON: Uh, I don't know the details. I just read it. I know he believes he's owed that reimbursement. What I heard is that if receives it, he's gonna consider giving it to charity. They attack him for everything. *changes topic*

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

If Johnson has a secret plan to save the health care system the GOP is about to break, now might be the time to reveal it.

Her contempt is extraordinary. Trump thinks he's a king. He believes he's accountable to no one. Not Congress. Not the American people. And so when his people testify before the Senate, they act like they are bound by no rules and no laws.

Trump does his best to avoid events that aren't all about him because he finds them very dull. Amazing that anyone would expect him to sit through all those eulogies when none of them are talking about Trump. That said, maybe he wasn't feeling up to it? The man does not look well.

Next time someone on the right claims all the political violence in this country is coming from the left, not the right, do please show them this. You're welcome

Until we pass a nationwide ban on gerrymandering (which we need), Democrats should gerrymander every state to the fullest extent. 52-0 in CA, 17-0 in IL, and so on. No more unilateral disarmament. Time to get serious about fighting back.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes. Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

"RELEASE ALL GRAND JURY TESTIMONY" ..... another Trump shellgame!

Trump Is Losing In Court A STAGGERING 96% OF THE TIME! youtu.be/3MviCv5MUu0?...

New: We analyzed Trump's meme coin - At least 27 crypto wallets have picked up $100 million worth of $TRUMP coins since his team said the top holders would join him for an "intimate private dinner." Huge profit for Trump; "the most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done" wapo.st/4iAatO1

Daily court update from Trump Admin. in Kilmar Abrego Garcia case: “There is still nothing further to report”

This was posted this morning on Trump's "Truth Social" White House account ... after the Supreme Court ruled unanimously 9-0 to "facilitate" Garcia's return. Our courts should easily find the Trump administration in contempt.

THE APRIL FOOL ...

Trump says this is "a reciprocal tariff." Evidently those sneaky penguins have been charging us a 10% tariff all this time!

What if you’re so outrageously incompetent you get it done in a matter of minutes?

Casar: "What we can do is speak out, build up the pressure, and get to the point where we just get 3 members of the Republican majority to stand up and do the right thing."

The VP seems to have forgotten that the U.S., a founding NATO member, is already pledged to defend Denmark and Greenland, just as they are pledged to defend us. That’s what “ally” means.

Russia - along with North Korea, Belarus and Cuba (you read that right!) - is a rare exception to Trump’s tariffs. Remember: Trump removed U.S. Intel sharing with Ukraine to force it to accept a ceasefire, which it has. Trump has yet to impose costs on Moscow, which continues to defy any ceasefire.

Boris Rotenberg is one of Putin’s closest friends (since the 1970s) — and one of his main “wallets”. No words to describe how shameful this U.S. move is.

Wisconsin. Thank you. Thank you for telling billionaires they could not buy your vote. Thank you for standing up for the rule of law. Thank you for saying no to tyranny and shouting out for the continuance of democracy. Thank you. We will keep fighting with you. #Wisconsin

Kill Tesla, Save The Country — Rick Wilson Read the article: therickwilson.substack.com/p/kill-tesla...

The Trump-appointed white supremacists at the Pentagon have been given license to be open about their racism. They changed "Medal of Honor" in a URL for the most senior African American to win it to "DEImedal of Honor" on their website. Despicable people.

"I've never done anything harmful." --Crybaby with no self-awareness who has caused veterans to go without healthcare and other benefits, govt workers to be illegally fired, people to die in car explosions, Tesla stock owners to lose billions, and Ukrainians to be killed after he shut Starlink off.
