Kids are dying of measles. Egg prices are skyrocketing. Bird flu is out of control. Planes are falling out of the sky. Inflation is rising. Tariffs are coming. Consumer confidence is collapsing. A recession is now likely. The stock market is dropping.

Donald Trump is golfing.

[Rick Wilson @TheRickWilson]

Russian State Media (TASS) was in the meeting.

AP and Reuters were not.

Get it yet?

[Canada Hates Trump @AntiTrumpCanada]

After bullying & expelling international war hero Volodymyr Zelenskyy from the White House, Trump returns to Mar-a-Lago, where he’ll play some golf & wine/dine with fellow rapist and child sex trafficker, Andrew Tate.
Motherfucker can rot in hell.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Measles outbreaks are back. Grocery and gas prices are up. Bird flu is spreading. All our allies hate us. Air travel is getting unsafe. The stock market is tanking. The government is about to shut down.

And he’s only been President for six weeks. This is just the beginning.

I’m down for Al Sharpton’s boycott on Friday.

If we want to be effective, we need to stop giving these people our money.

Are you in?

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

This is the end of the republic as we know it if we don’t stand up to Donald Trump.

Teacher:
Plans a great hands-on, fun lesson!

Student:
Slept for 2 hours the night prior because they’re addicted to TikTok

Administrator:
Comes in and notices uninterested, tired student and comments ‘’What do you think you can do for that student to make them more interested?”

This is what House Republicans voted for tonight.

Another reminder that we have socialism for the rich, harsh capitalism for the rest.

THE Rep. Jasmine Crockett to Elon Musk:
"Fuck off."

So say we all.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

While you weren't looking, Trump rolled back Biden's ethics rules prohibiting executive branch employees from accepting major gifts from lobbyists.

So much for "drain the swamp."

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

Is Donald Trump going to respond to Musk’s email and report on what he did last week?

To help, I’ve gone ahead and done it for him. A thread:

[Not Your Average Liberal @NotAvgLiberal]

This.

[Christopher Webb @cwebbonline]

Here’s the thing. Every last one of these people in tears heard Trump on the stump before the election. They knew he was cruel. But they were fine with it because they thought he’d only be cruel to the people they didn’t like. The problem with cruelty is that it doesn’t stop where you want it to—it spreads, and eventually, it comes for you too.

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

Pls don’t share this video of Trump being booed!!!

[Morgan J. Freeman @mjfree]

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

Here's what the press refuse to say.

1. Trump backed down from fights with Canada and Mexico when they fought back.

2. Trump got nothing for it.

3. The stock market crashed.

4. Trump announces gains from Mexico+ Canada that were already there or happened under Biden.

[Angry Staffer @Angry_Staffer]

This is legitimately the most pointless trade war in history.

Economics 101 for the MAGA crowd who doesn’t seem to get it.

We are a net importer. That means we BUY more shit than we sell.

Import tariffs mean that US COMPANIES PAY MORE TO BUY GOODS. The money goes to US customs.

When US companies pay more to buy goods, they sell them to US consumers (that’s you, reading this post) for more money in order to maintain their profit margins.

Guess which countries we buy the most shit from?

Canada, Mexico, and China — the countries he just tariffed for absolutely no reason.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Congrats to our new DNC chair, Ken Martin. Ken has done outstanding work in Minnesota, and will bring that same energy and drive to this new role. Together, we need to build a bold, responsive Democratic Party that can tell a compelling story about who we’re fighting for and where we need to go as a country. I am grateful to all who are stepping up to engage. Lots of work ahead!
