So let me get this straight:
When immigrants take jobs, it’s a national crisis.
When AI takes jobs, it’s innovation.
Can someone explain why we’re supposed to fear people willing to work, but celebrate technology designed to replace workers?
JFK was a decorated WWII veteran who was murdered while serving as Commander in Chief.
Draft-dodger Trump writing his name above Kennedy's at the Kennedy Center, which is a memorial, is like writing your name on someone else's tombstone.
Not the worst thing Trump has done, but probably the most pathetic and indefensible.
I'm worried that Trump will launch a war on Cuba, to distract attention from his war on Iran, which distracted attention from his war on Venezuela, which distracted attention from the Epstein files
McGovern: It took us forever to compensate the victims of 9/11, and here you have this $1.8 billion slush fund that doesn’t go through any committees or hearings. All of a sudden, they have the money to compensate convicted felons—people who attacked our democracy and tried to overthrow a free and fair election.
This is the most corrupt administration in our history.
Imagine a legal system so fucked up that the president can be both plaintiff and defendant and award himself whatever he wants.
That sounds kind of like a king, doesn't it?
Maddow: So in January, Trump buys hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Nvidia. Then a week later, his commerce department approves the sale of Nvidia chips to China.
Also in January, Trump buys between 50,000 and $100,000 worth of stock in AMD. One week after he buys it, his commerce department approves AMD doing business in China as well.
The following month, in February, Trump buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell. Nine days after he buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell, Trump veers off script in a speech in Georgia to tell the crowd literally, quote, go out and buy a Dell computer.
Then in March, Judd Legum at Popular Information reports that Trump repeatedly buys up Thermo Fisher stock, and then he goes and visits Thermo Fisher on a presidential visit and praises the company.
That same day, Trump bought hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Apple. And then that same day he bought the stock, he did another event where he singled out Apple and Apple CEO Tim cook for praise. Apple a great company.
Then after that, Trump buys Micron stock. The very next day, he calls into the Fox News channel and tells them Micron is one of the hottest companies.
CNBC reporting Trump makes seven separate purchases of Palantir stock. Hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of Palantir stock. Then he gets on truth social and praises Palantir.
George H.W. Bush kept his assets in a blind trust, as did Bill Clinton. Neither Obama nor Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office. 3,700 trades is probably more than all the trades of all the presidents until now. And he is trading stocks that are affected by his decisions. A walking conflict of interest, at the least, and perhaps insider trading. Just as members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks, so too the president. https://t.co/yDqVXWfDgc
So Mike Johnson and many republicans are against banning Members of Congress from trading stocks because inflation makes their salary less valuable.
Here’s an idea: if $174k a year isn’t enough for you, then resign and let someone who is willing to work the job do it.
There are plenty of young people who would be willing to give up stock trading for that salary. And they would actually get stuff done.
And if $174k isn’t enough for people to take care of their family, then how the hell is minimum wage?
Absolute insanity….here is Mike Johnson saying members of Congress need to be able to continue their insider trading because the yearly salary of $174K with healthcare and taxpayer funded vacations every other week is not enough for them
Trump threatened to nuke Iran during the same press event where he called a woman reporter "baby" and a "bitch" and we'll all just supposed to continue on tomorrow as though any of this insanity is normal or acceptable
Trump appears to have called ABC reporter Rachel Scott a “bitch” as he walked away from the press.
On camera.
The same man who had the FCC open an investigation into ABC over a Jimmy Kimmel joke.
The same man whose press secretary lectured America about violent rhetoric after the WHCA shooting.
Everybody stay calm, the top virologists, medical research scientists, clinical researchers and clinical pharmacologists on Twitter have been working around the clock for two minutes and already discovered that Ivermectin cures the hantavirus.
Wow! Every single person should listen to @mtgreenee here.
She outlines exactly what went down with Trump desperately trying to prevent the Epstein files from getting released.
