@glynmoody and #MikeLee, a sitting US Senator since 2011, has threatened to move to have the USA *WITHDRAW FROM NATO* if the #EU issues this fine to #Musk.
Naaah, the #republicans aren’t corrupted by corporatism, why would anyone think that?

"‘Liberation Day’ may have belonged to Trump, but Wisconsin voters offered their own declaration of independence on Wednesday – is it a sign of what’s to come?"

"The momentum is shifting. Wisconsin was a decisive win. Gaps in Florida’s US House districts are narrowing. And Democratic Senator Cory Booker just shattered segregationist Strom Thurmond’s record in congress with a 25-hour protest speech – a symbolic moment, but one that suggests renewed energy on the left."

"Authoritarians want us to feel hopeless and helpless. It’s up to us to show them that we will not submit quietly and that we believe in struggle and collective action. Like Sen. Booker, each one of us can do something, using the spaces and means we have, to meet this moment with the same resilient and resolute spirit he showed on the Senate floor."

"Republicans are backing DOGE because it’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to incapacitate the federal government once and for all and forever alter the public’s ability to demand more from their leaders."

"The GOP has long given up on winning over voters by demonstrating that it knows best how to make the government work for people; as I’ve noted previously, the notion that there are even 'Republican lawmakers' anymore is a quaint myth."

Most Republicans won’t use U.S. Congress’ power to stop Trump’s tariffs
A handful of Republicans say they support limiting the president's ability to impose tariffs, but the idea of defying Trump seemed to squelch potential for quick action.

The "good old times" the Republicans want to go back to:
Hey all of you Trump voters…
Are you better off now than you were before he took office?…..about 71 days ago?
Wondering if maybe you made a mistake?
Thinking to yourselves….if only there could have been some “clues” that this guy might not have been the best for our country?
U.S. President Donald Trump's unveiling of reciprocal tariffs could cause political headwinds for his party and economic pain for his constituents if his promises to recast the economy do not work out. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/04/04/world/politics/trump-tariff-political-gamble/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #donaldtrump #republicans #democrats #trade #tariffs #tradewar
There is a gangster beating the shit out of the world, but America, the nation capable of stopping him, is a cesspool of shitty laws and a piece of shit Constitution so poorly written that gangsters took over one of the only 2 political parties capable of winning nationwide under its 19th century "genius," and there isn't a damn thing anyone can do about it except "vote harder" in a nation with 400,000,000 guns.
The Russian mob bought the Republican party. Then the House. Then the Senate. Then the Supreme Court.
The mighty US military kneels before its fully unzipped dictator.
I was looking at the diversity of where I live and thought:
‘God damn what a boring, culture less town this place will be when it’s filled with fleshy white faced mouth breathers who think a red MAGA cap is the height of fashion’.
The #Defense Dept inspector general’s office said Thurs that it will scrutinize top #Trump admin officials’ use of #Signal, an unclassified messaging app to coordinate a highly sensitive #military operation last month in Yemen, complying with a request from #Republicans & #Democrats in #Congress.

It took civilization thousands of years to build the global and broadly successful #economy that we enjoyed right up until about 4PM EDT today.
It took about 2.5 months to destroy it.
So congratulations #Republicans on bringing forth the largest (and perhaps most #regressive) #tax increase in the nation’s history. America’s #billionaires thank you for your support.
