Super excited to be flying like first class on Southwest because the middle seat is empty. Unfortunately, the plane doesn’t have a makeup studio, so I can’t look as pretty as Pete Hegseth who spent taxpayer dollars to install a makeup studio in the Pentagon.

Trump thinks what he’s doing is popular. It’s not.

When it comes to Trump’s harmful tariff war, White House officials are not playing chess, and not even checkers, they are playing Magic 8 Ball. 1. Start disastrous tariff war 2. Say oops, the tariffs are “unsustainable” 3. Now ask countries, will you please, please do a deal?

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told a closed-door investor summit that the tariff standoff with China is unsustainable and that he expects the situation to de-escalate

Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.socialApr 21(source)

The first thing they make you do before going into a classified meeting is to remove your phone. Why? Because phones can be hacked. (Eg look up Pegasus spyware). Hegseth using his personal phone multiple times to reveal combat operations is a dereliction of duty. He must resign.

This just gets worse. Hegseth needs to go now. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Heartbroken at the passing of Pope Francis. My prayers are with all those who knew him or have been affected by his grace, leadership and courage.

Trump promised a golden age. Instead we are in a #GrotesqueAge: -The Trump Administration is assaulting due process -Violent criminals receiving pardons -American companies like Mack Trucks laying off workers due to Trump’s tariffs. Make your voices heard on April 19.

Pennsylvania Capital-Star

@penncapital-star.com

Mack Trucks will lay off between 250 and 350 workers at its Lehigh Valley Operations center outside Allentown over the next three months, due to economic uncertainty caused by U.S. tariffs, a company spokesperson said Thursday.

Trump promised a golden age. Instead we are in a #GrotesqueAge: -People mistakenly being deported or being asked to self-deport -Violent criminals receiving pardons -And Powell stating that we will have “higher inflation and slower growth.” Make your voices heard on April 19.

The Tennessee Holler

@thetnholler.bsky.social

POWELL: “The level of tariff increases is significantly larger than anticipated, economic effect will likely include higher inflation and slower growth.”

Russia’s horrific attack on civilians in Ukraine celebrating Palm Sunday was a war crime and a giant middle finger to President Trump, who has been pleading with Putin for a ceasefire. The best way to get Putin to the negotiating table is to help Ukraine defeat Russia on the battlefield.

@youranoncentral.bsky.social

Russia carried out a terrorist attack in Sumy, Ukraine using ballistic missiles. They murdered at least 31 civilians and injured 80+ others as people celebrated Palm Sunday. Russia attacked at midday to maximize the number of civilian casualties.

Less than 24 hours after Donald Trump backtracked on his trade war to prevent a meltdown in financial markets, frantic selloffs hit US stocks, bonds and the dollar as fears of a worldwide recession engulfed Wall Street yet again

Artificial intelligence has disrupted and will continue to disrupt—hopefully for the better—numerous aspects of society. A1 is a steak sauce. The Secretary of Education needs to understand the difference.

Trump promised a golden age. He lied. His harmful and stupid policies economic policies—enabled by House Republicans—have caused the #TrumpSlump: -Prices increased -Consumer sentiment decreased -The Dow Jones, S&P 500 and Nasdaq tanked #stockmarketcrash

Wall Street crashes at close, Dow sinks 2,200 pts — U.S. markets closed sharply lower as investor fears of global recession mount after Trump's tariffs. https://breakingthenews.net/Article/Wall-Street-crashes-at-close-Dow-sinks-2200-pts/63864248

I call on House Republicans to put legislation to stop Trump’s indiscriminate tariffs up for a vote. If they don’t, then Republicans own all the disastrous consequences: -higher inflation -tanking markets -slower growth The #TrumpTariffs are a massive tax on Americans.

Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.socialApr 4(source)

I agree with GOP Senator Rand Paul: tariffs are taxes paid by the American consumer. www.foxnews.com/opinion/sen-...

SEN RAND PAUL: Terminate the Trump tariffs before it's too late

Tariffs are not just bad for American families and the national economy; tariffs are also bad for Republicans. Tariffs have been electoral disasters for Republicans.

Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.socialApr 2(source)

The indiscriminate #TrumpTariffs are batshit crazy. The tariffs will further tank the markets, increase prices on everyday goods and drive up inflation. Exactly what America does not need. The American people want lower prices, not chaos and increasing prices.

National Security Adviser Waltz should resign for repeatedly playing fast and loose with OpSec. Signal should not be used to discuss sensitive information. The Pentagon warned against using Signal even for unclassified information. Below is a screenshot from an NPR article.

Breaking: National security adviser Mike Waltz's team set up at least 20 Signal chats to discuss official work on issues including Ukraine, China, Gaza and more, according to sources who've been personally added to the chats.

Congratulations to Susan Crawford for winning the Wisconsin Supreme Court race! Elon Musk tried to buy the election. And the people knew. That’s one reason Crawford won decisively. Elon Musk’s greatest asset—money—has now becomes his greatest liability in elections.
