Trump has taken equity stakes in Nvidia, Intel, & U.S. Steel. The gov’t now owns pieces of private companies & takes a cut of their revenue. CEOs are alarmed. The Business Roundtable won't say a word. That's how state control starts-one deal at a time. That sure sounds like communism to me. #Pinks

🧵 1. We shouldn't say that Intel and these other stakes are legally part of Trump's sovereign wealth fund unless the government actually establishes that structure and places them in it. #Blues #Proudblue #GoodTroubleSquadron www.cato.org/blog/governm...

#RepublicansCutMedicare and our commander in thief is giddy about it. Let’s turn out the vote🗳️in the midterms to end this nonsense. Trump is making cash, hand over fist while we all struggle to afford necessities. It’s wrong and we will fix it in November. Vote🗳️them out!!

$1,300 more on goods because of tariffs. $750 more because of a reckless war. Billions added to the president's net worth. If this were your family budget, you'd call an emergency. We are. Vote for Democrats in 90 days. #BlueWaveIn90Days

Trump reran the 2020 tapes and sprinkled in some of the new red scare messaging that he and many Republicans have been spreading in a bid to dull voter enthusiasm for progressive Democrats.

Donald Trump has enabled this kind of threatening behavior in his followers. He knows exactly what he's doing when he attacks a judge or political opponent. wapo.st/4yUVsjf

This federal judge ruled against Trump. Then the threats began.

U.S. District Judge John McConnell’s experience is emblematic of the climate facing jurists, whether nominated by Democratic or Republican presidents.

Stolen valor from Mr. Bone Spurs. An insult to every man and woman who has worn the uniform.

RFK Jr's CDC reportedly scaled back foodborne disease tracking last year, removing cyclospora from mandatory reporting. The CDC also lost roughly 3,000 employees since 2025. Now a cyclosporiasis outbreak has killed 2 and sickened thousands across 45 states. "Make America Healthy Again."

Most of the corruption perpetrated by the Trump admin would not be possible without the complicit enabling of the Republican majorities in the House and Senate. The only way to put any check and balance on this out of control regime is to vote them out in November.

Priorities!

If SCOTUS sides with Trump this week, the consequences could reach far beyond one executive order. This isn't just another shadow docket case. It's about who controls access to the ballot—and who gets to decide whether your vote counts. Here's what's at stake: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

This got me choked up. Ohio, thank you for this. 🙏🏽 And God bless Viles Dorsainvil, Exec Director of the Haitian Support Center. Haitians aren’t criminals. They were here legally under TPS until Trump stripped those protections. Yet we’re humiliating them by forcing them to wear ankle monitors.

YES!

Absofreakinlutely Jamie Raskin, A De-Trumpification Of OUR Government......

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

A society that vilifies scientists and healthcare workers for trying to save lives is a society determined to destroy itself.

To all my MAGA friends & followers, when you have some time today, please defend this. Thanks.👇

REMEMBER THIS IN NOVEMBER...👇 AFFORDABILITY. MATTERS. 😎✨

Exactly this.

For sure

America First.

At any other time, the false Hearn indictment under the demand of the president would result in impeachment and removal. But naked corruption and thuggery doesn’t matter anymore and this isn’t even the worst scandal of the day after Trump accused MN of domestic terrorism.

He lied. Yet another major scandal for the Trump regime. Everyone involved should be fired and brought up on charges.

BASH: But it peeled off. Why did that happen? BURGUM: It didn't peel off. There was vandalism. There was box cutters. There have been 7 arrests. BASH: There are photographs of people cutting a 350 foot gash in the reflecting pool? BURGUM: Dana, I'm not sure why you keep questioning it
