Senator Lisa Murkowski just said that she and her colleagues are afraid & anxious because retaliation from the president is real. This is not normal or right. Our leader is a tyrant, but the same people who are scared, are the ones who could actually stop him.
What an absolute joke: Trump officials claimed the letter sent to Harvard with a list of demands was a "mistake" and had been sent without authorization.
And because Harvard defended themselves, the White House announced they were freezing funding and Trump threatened to remove their tax-exempt status anyway.
What a shit show.

Because Florida has a massive labor shortage they decided kids can work! A bill passed in Florida that will allow children ages 14-15 to work over night and on weekends up to 30 hours a week and now they want to pass another bill so they can pay them less than minimum wage! WTH
That buffoon trump thinks he can fire Fed Chair Jerome Powell, but he doesn't have the fucking cards.
Powell seems like one of the few trump appointees who isn't afraid of that jackass.
Van Drew on Trump's trade war: "He's gonna look them straight in the eye -- 'This is the deal. Do you want to participate? Do you want to make it good for you and us? Or do you want to just sit back and let it happen to you?'"
Republican political operative Karl Rove:
“We aren’t 100 days into Donald Trump’s second term and many Americans are already exhausted. They’ve had way too much thrown at them…Trump’s campaign promise to break inflation has been replaced by a fixation on raising tariffs, which nearly three-quarters of Americans expect to hike prices…
“Most of the president’s revenge attempts will end badly for him.”
THIS IS INSAAANE!!!
Watch Karoline Leavitt hand Trump a note because he doesn't know why Garcia's record is "unbelievably bad," and Trump reads:
"Abrego Garcia. Is that the one? He's an illegal alien, MS-13 gang member, and foreign terrorist."
"Very legitimate sources, I assume. I'm reading… I'm just giving you what they handed me, but this was supposed to be certified stuff."
