- Business person here. Tariffs ALWAYS get passed on to customers, PLUS a little extra to increase profit margins. ALWAYS. And those prices never come down if tariffs go away.
- It's been 8 years since the iconic moment Tom Holland lip-synced "Umbrella" by Rihanna for Zendaya. 🎥
- Watch twice. Like. Repost. Every. Time.☔️
- Trump to Carney: "You see the new and improved Oval Office. As it becomes more and more beautiful with love and 24 karat gold. That always helps too."
- So tacky and low-class. It’s embarrassing.
- Megalomania.👇🏼
- Breaking: Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s bag, including $3,000 in cash, is stolen from DC restaurant By Josh Campbell and Kit Maher www.cnn.com/2025/04/21/p...
- So, basically, she lost her DHS badge and thought this story would make her look better?

- This is shameful.
- JUST IN: Deputy Assistant to the President and "Counterterrorism Czar" Sebastian Gorka says anyone advocating for due process for Kilmar Abrego Garcia could be viewed as "aiding and abetting a terrorist" and be federally charged. (h/t Philip Germain)
- This is some Fascist bullshit.
- This👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
- The US would be better off being allies with Canada than with El Salvador. Canada has a bigger economy, a stronger military, more land—including Arctic access—a long border with the US, good values, and a history of mutually beneficial cooperation. Sorry to get so partisan, but that's how I feel.
- Exactly. But that would assume the current administration is trying to make the US stronger and safer. I think we all know better.
- Wow! Take a listen to this.

- Just relax. Don’t fight it. If you fight it, I’ll have to hurt you. Don’t make me hurt you. ~Says every abuser, everywhere.
- It’s a tax increase. A HUGE. TAX. INCREASE.
- Watch this! He’s been going all night. Over 13 hours! Several others now asking him to yield for questions to give him short breaks. This is what we need. People to fight for what’s good and right.
- WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS! Cory Booker is throwing down—filibustering & standing up to Trump’s authoritarian overreach. This is what we need—Dems who disrupt, resist, and fight back. Booker’s stand is a rallying cry for all of us to demand better. Watch here 👉🏾 www.youtube.com/live/v2utlMx...
- Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.
- You were right about everything. I knew it when I voted for you. I just wish we had both been wrong.

- This is important. Not only is there a shortage of these specialized transformers, but the lead time to make new ones is extremely long. If too many are out of commission, people will be in the dark for months. Our power grid is vulnerable. I hope the gov’t has a contingency plan.

- Total BS. Many jobs can be done from anywhere, and often done much better without office interruptions. Only bad managers need to look over their employee’s shoulders to make sure work is done.

- I hear there’s something happening on April 5th that will give nationwide voice to these concerns. Sounds like a good day to get involved. I don’t have the deets.
- Corruption. Just right out there in the open. And, no. It’s not normal and it’s not okay.
- Read this whole thread to learn more about what Medicaid actually covers. It’s more than you think and it’s not just for “poor” people.
- BREAKING: Senate just UNANIMOUSLY restored $1.1 billion for DC local govt that was eliminated Why? Because Senators of BOTH parties work in DC - and most have homes there - and none of them want to be in a hellhole Now - try applying that same logic to THE REST OF THE COUNTRY

- Just watched the video on YouTube or your speech. Some of us have been paying attention. It’s NOT okay. Thank you for putting it together in such a clear way. More of this, and more publicly where the cult can hear it.
- I’ve got some free time this afternoon - let’s do a quick Q&A. Share your questions below, and I’ll answer as many as I can.
- All of us out here are sad, angry, and scared about the future. It’s easy to sit here and ask someone else (you) to step up and do something, and assume all the risks. So, my question to you is: How are you and your family doing? What steps are you taking to stay sane amidst all the crazy.

- This would suck. StarLink is not even close to the high speeds we get with fiber. Rural businesses, schools, hospitals, and residential homes deserve to have the same choices, high speeds, and reliability that urban/suburban customers are getting.
- This is it, right here. 🔥 “I’m always curious what exactly conservatives mean when they say they love America because you hate most of the people who live here.”
- Very good question.
- SCOOP: Business leaders are paying as much as $5,000,000 to meet one-on-one with President Donald Trump at his Florida compound, sources tell WIRED, while others are paying $1,000,000 apiece to dine with him in a group setting.
- Some of us have always known that he’s for sale, unless your name is Putin, in which case he’ll give it to you for free.
- Starting this week, we’ll all pay more at the store because of the Trump tariffs, even while he’s finalizing a multi-trillion-dollar tax cut for the wealthy. All the bluster is meant to get us talking about literally anything else.
- Thank you, Pete, for putting yourself out there on our behalf. We need more people like you.
- Once again, America is abdicating our leadership role. We are now the bad guys in this story. I’ve gotten through the sad phase. Now I’m just angry.
- I lasted 5 minutes. Couldn’t stand the lying, his voice, his face, the sycophantic Republicans,… It all makes my blood boil. I never thought I could hate someone so much.
- Exactly! This is not complicated. We made a commitment. They’ve lived up to their part.
- Funding science and research is a smart investment in our future.

- This is true. I grew up in the country. The cities were “bad” places filled with “bad” people we were supposed to hate. When I went to college, I was exposed to other people and cultures. My eyes were opened. I’m back in the country, but still know truth. We all share the same hopes & fears. #NoHate

- People have no issue with NASA employees. The problem is the administration. From what I’ve seen and heard, the public is on the side of the employees.
- They’re making their move against Social Security.👇🏼 Their endgame is to eliminate it and steal all of the hard-earned money that Americans have put into it their entire working lives. We can’t let them.
