By me and @olihawkins.com:
- 16 of the 25 “VIPs” who won dinner and a reception with Trump by buying and holding $TRUMP meme coin have now emptied their wallets.
- 5 of the VIPs who only bought into the coin when the dinner was announced may have actually *made money* from the contest. (1/2)
Oh dear

Yes, this is a real tweet.
In time when most things are bad...this one still rises to "holy shit" status
Moscow seems pleased. One Russian paper today: “Soviet leaders’ dream of driving a wedge between the European part of Nato & the US has come true.” Another: “Trump is destroying the world created by US liberals…the changes in the global system serve [Russia’s] interests.” #ReadingRussia
More than halfway. The groundwork has all been done

Trump said last night that if anyone but him was negotiating with China, the US would be paying China 104% - which is exactly what is happening today, to which he has no repsonse so far. (Also, Dimon said Bessent should take over negotiations.)
that last sentence - what can he possibly mean?

I though Vance was the clever one
The president — much as his predecessor did during a tariff announcement last year — featured auto workers heavily during a Rose Garden ceremony marking what he dubbed "Liberation Day" for the U.S. economy. Trump brought his go-to Michigan auto worker up to the podium, shouted out a group of United Auto Workers union members in the audience, and credited his administration's trade policy for spurring billions of dollars of U.S. investment from companies like General Motors Co., Hyundai Motor Co. and Vitale's old employer, Stellantis NV.
Stellantis says will temporarily lay off 900 U.S. workers following tariff announcement - Reuters News 03 Apr 2025 14:37:41USA-TRUMP/TARIFFS-STELLANTIS (URGENT) DETROIT, April 3 (Reuters) - Stellantis NV, maker of Ram trucks and Jeeps, said on Thursday it was temporarily laying off 900 workers at five U.S. facilities after President Donald Trump's tariffs were announced, and temporarily pausing production at an assembly plant in Mexico and in Canada. The U.S. plants affected are powertrain and stamping facilities. Stellantis' Windsor Assembly, where the Chrysler Pacifica minivan and Dodge Charger Daytona are made, will be down for two weeks while Toluca Assembly, where the Jeep Compass and Jeep Wagoneer S are made, will be down the month of April, the company said..
Yesterday: Trump invites retired Stellantis auto worker from Michigan onto stage at tariff announcement.
Today: Stellantis temporarily lays of 900 workers in Michigan and Indiana.

Right-wing YouTuber Tim Pool has made it to the White House pool — someone from his “Timcast” channel will be part of today’s pool duty covering the president.
Last year, DOJ revealed Pool was receiving millions of dollars from the Russian gov. Pool says he didn’t know where it was coming from.

Screenshot of Times article with headline: "Florida may loosen child labour laws to fill gap left by migrants" The article explains a law has been proposed in Florida to allow children as young as 14 to work overnight shifts in agriculture & constraction to make up for lost migrant labour. Yes really.
You truly could not make it up.
You could not.

“The reporting has revealed an additional grave, previously unknown security breach at the highest levels in Washington. Hostile intelligence services could use this publicly available data to hack the communications of those affected by installing spyware on their devices.“
This is evident when seeing @airwars.bsky.social important documentation of civilian harm recently as well as @vleckie.bsky.social’s valuable verification work in Yemen.
