“The vehicle attempted to flee the scene and, fearing for public safety, an officer discharged his weapon.” Fleeing. The vehicle was driving away. That’s murder. A legal resident of the United States is now dead. The threat to public safety is ICE. It must be eliminated.

1. On March 11, Trump toured a Thermo Fisher Scientific facility in Ohio and repeatedly praised the company. On *the same day* Trump bought between $15,000 and $50,000 of Thermo Fisher stock. The purchase was "UNSOLICITED," meaning it was requested by the customer, not recommended by an advisor.

They're stealing billions of your money to pay off violent right-wing psychos while doing everything in their power to spike gas up to $5 a gallon, make groceries into a luxury and hand the country over to the oligarchs who want to permanently replace you.

Burgum conveniently forgets that pandemic-driven gas prices had come down by the end of Biden’s term. Trump drove them right up again with a war with Iran that he’d promised never to get us into. Video: buff.ly/LMWUrjd

Utterly bizarre how war policy is being decided and announced by an addled, deeply unqualified ignoramus from his bed at 4 in the morning on a social media platform he made up himself and everyone acts like it's normal.

The 79-year-old president was up until past 4 a.m. ET on Monday for an unhinged Truth Social blitz following a weekend when talks to end the deeply unpopular multibillion-dollar war in Iran broke down.

WATCH: The White House took down this video, but we still have it. Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

1/ The world is facing a 'ticking time bomb' from its supply of oil, according to a briefing note from JP Morgan. Physical scarcity of oil is about to unfold across the globe, spreading sequentially through April from east to west, causing major economic disruption worldwide. ⬇️

It won't happen, but every headline tomorrow should emphasize that Trump is the one blocking a solution to the airport crisis. He owns the shutdown now.

GOP Senators John Kennedy and Ted Cruz devised this off-ramp, Kennedy says on Fox: "Senator Thune submitted that to President Trump. As is his right, he said no. ‘No deals with the Democrats.’ It would have worked. We could have had TSA paid by the end of the week. But the president said no deal."

KathyBuckner reposted

Looks like Democrats and Republicans on the Hill had agreed on a deal to fund DHS and end the airport security madness and Trump rejected it. Pretty clear now that Trump is the sole cause of all the chaos that is ensuing.

KathyBuckner reposted

Thune told Trump that Senate Republicans would support funding all of DHS except ICE, ICE funding could be handled later in a party-line reconciliation bill and Democrats would accept the offer. But Trump said no, according to multiple sources punchbowl.news/article/sena...

👀 An Aug 2024 Trump post turned out to be a crystal ball view into his & his regime's performance... "STOCK MARKETS ARE CRASHING, JOBS NUMBERS ARE TERRIBLE, WE ARE HEADING TO WORLD WAR III, AND WE HAVE TWO OF THE MOST INCOMPETENT "LEADERS" IN HISTORY. THIS IS NOT GOOD!!!" 👌🏼 MAGA! 💥 🧾 is.gd/UlSXHv

Checking in on Trump’s talk of a “balanced budget” days after taking office… National debt, Jan. 2025: $36.2 trillion National debt, March 2026: $39 trillion

At this point, it’s pretty obvious that the Venezuelan vice president basically had the US do a coup for her

Venezuela’s Delcy Rodríguez ousted the longtime defense minister and appointed the sanctioned military counterintelligence chief to succeed him, signaling continuity for the hard-line regime. https://on.wsj.com/3PghUkp

Absolutely insane. We were literally the leading economy in the world after the pandemic and Trump and this stupid Republican Congress torched it.

Powell: "The thing a good number of people on the committee are concerned about is very very low level of job creation. If you adjust the trend job creation over the past 6 months for what we think is overstatement due to overcounting, effectively there is 0 net job creation in the private sector"

This is a lie on a scale of Elon Musk saying he would cut the deficit to zero. Just insane. Not just untrue, but the opposite of the truth, which is that immigrants are lowering the deficit. www.cato.org/white-paper/...

Stephen Miller: "If all of this theft were stopped, it would be enough to balance the budget. The extraction of wealth from American taxpayers to people who don't belong here is the primary cause of the national debt."

Failing to prosecute Trump for obstruction of justice over his Russia ties was a gigantic mistake. There is a sick relationship between Putin and Trump, and we need to know exactly what it is.

Duncan Weldon@duncanweldon.bsky.social

Pretty staggering that the FT Trump interview opens with ‘if NATO doesn’t help us sort this mess, there’ll be problems’ and ends with ‘Russia might be helping target American soldiers, but really that’s sort of fair enough - we started it’. www.ft.com/content/1ca6...

Killing people and destroying things “just for fun” is psychopathic behavior and even saying it is something only a psychopath would do and every U.S. news organization should be shouting that from the rooftops. Editors: Rise to the challenge of truth-telling or make room for someone who will.

They're afraid of legitimate voters being unable to vote because they have to go through a bunch of stupid unnecessary hoops for no good reason. Every study that's ever been done shows that there are very few instances of vote fraud. We know what they're doing.

COLLINS: Even the Heritage Foundation said they only found 100 instances of non-citizen voter fraud since 2000. That's out of 1.5 billion ballots. SEN. ROGER MARSHALL: So, what are you afraid of? What are Democrats afraid of?

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill her—and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

It's pretty bad when you are the chief lying liar who lies and can't get one of your obsequiously subordinate lying liars who lie to lie for you because even the subordinate knows it's just too big a lie to tell for anyone but the chief lying liar who lies so much that there is no lie he won't tell.

Reporter: Did the US bomb an elementary school and kill 175 people? Trump: Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran. Reporter: Is that true Mr. Hegseth? Hegseth: We’re investigating. Trump: They are very inaccurate with their munitions. It was done by Iran.
