Wow. You have to watch this clip of Democratic Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari sounding the alarm on FOX NEWS about America turning into an authoritarian state under Trump. Ingraham didn’t want her viewers to hear this warning. Let’s make this go viral.

The US Navy's new Director of Communications, Kristina Wong, is a Jan 6 terrorist and an anti-Ukraine, pro-Kremlin mouthpiece. Likely an unregistered foreign agent (spy).

Breaking News: The brother of Pam Bondi is running to head the D.C bar! We can’t let this happen because then he will make sure The Trump Administration is allowed to do whatever they want including disbar and remove Judges and who knows what else. 😡😡😡😡😡

[Brian Krassenstein @krassenstein]

BREAKING: Teresa Borrenpohl, shown here being dragged from a GOP Idaho Town hall, is now seeking $5 MILLION from the sheriff; the men who dragged her from the town hall; and others she blames for her injuries, both constitutional and physical.

We know exactly what sort of "deals" Trump is going to announce in a few weeks. He'll make a deal with a country like, say, Australia. Declare that he's gotten the US free trade. Except the U.S. already had a free trade deal with Australia, so he's really delivering nothing.

[Spencer Hakimian @SpencerHakimian]

Do you realize how absolute fucking disgusting this is?

The Treasury Secretary tells a closed door meeting of hedge funds, pensions, and endowments that the tariffs are going to be massively scaled back.

Financial media reports on it hours after fact (and as stocks were ripping all morning long on zero positive news at all).

And then the president confirms all of Bessent’s statements after the market closes for the day.

But sure.

Main Street, not Wall Street.

🫵🤡

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

One small (tiny, really) problem with Trump's plan to cut 192 trade deals in 90 days: He doesn't have the legal authority to write a binding deal. Congress writes trade deals and it has NOT delegated this authority to the White House.

[Matt McDermott @mattmfm]

Wow: Gallup finds a record-high 53% of Americans say their financial situation is getting worse — the first time in 25 years that a majority has expressed financial pessimism.

So, if you hadn't heard, the Desantii (both Ron Ron and Evita) took $10 million from Medicare and directed it to campaign donors, who funneled to Ron Ron's chosen causes.

People had better be going to jail. #FlaPol

“Today, right now—and I mean right this second—you have the most power you’ll ever have in the current fight against authoritarianism in America,” writes @AdrienneLaF. If you wait to speak out against autocrats, you have already lost: https://t.co/Y8puHKWBb6

Hegseth was never qualified to be the secretary of defense. He should never have accepted the nomination, and the Senate should never have confirmed him. He is a proven failure as SECDEF. If the president still refuses to fire him, he should resign.

I say it with sadness. Pushing Western allies into China's arms for the next century, because the world can no longer trust the American body politic to elect a rational leader.

And for what? So we get to try out fascism for fun and send 14-year-olds to the phone factory?

[Congressman Greg Casar @RepCasar]

Musk’s latest “genius idea” is to funnel hundreds of billions of taxpayer dollars to himself, while making our national security reliant on a subscription service he owns.

Hell no. Fire Elon Musk.

[Peter Schiff @PeterSchiff]

For years when U.S. stocks went down foreign stocks went down too. But tonight most foreign stocks are up, many are making new 52-week highs, despite today's huge selloff in U.S. stocks. That's because money is moving from U.S. stocks into non-U.S. stocks. This is the new normal.

[STAT @statnews]

The CDC’s top sexually transmitted disease lab has been shut down by the Trump administration. The lab focused on monitoring drug resistance in bacteria that cause these infections.

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

OMB is required to publicly post information about how taxpayer money is spent. Without this information, the public cannot ensure that their tax dollars are being spent legally.

Several weeks ago, OMB took this website down.

So we're suing:

Serious question. @KristiNoem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen.

She has been on a govt salary for years.
