AOC: If anyone is breaking the law in this situation, it’s not members of Congress — it’s DHS. It’s people like Tom Homan and Secretary Kristi Noem. You lay a finger on Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman or any of the Representatives that were there… we’re going to have a problem.

Happy Mother's Day to all the moms on here. You don't have to buy her anything. Give her a call. You know she'll love that.

So... The anniversary of DDay, the liberation of Europe, and the 250th of the birth of America and we are planning instead of someone's birthday parade.

You know that Twilight Zone episode where the kid has amazing psychic powers and can make people disappear with his mind and the entire town is hostage to him and has to cater to his every whim? That’s us right now.

If as President you answer “I don’t know” when asked if you’ll follow the Constitution, you have violated your oath of office and should be removed.

“It is not safe. 'It is not a safe situation right now for the flying public," a Newark air traffic controller told MSNBC Tom Costello. "Don't fly into Newark. Avoid Newark at all costs. With radio/radar failures, some controllers walked off the job www.rawstory.com/newark-airpo... #BlueSky #medSky

@gpatrick.bsky.social know you would appreciate this Peanuts scene that someone re-captioned.

They don't care about anything other than feeding people. Give them some money, please.

So let us get this straight. When the stock market soared under Biden, Trump said it was because of him. But now that’s it’s crashing due to his policies, it’s because of Biden? Pathetic.

Go to hell

I'm just a poor country political historian and not some big city media fella, but it *does* seem like a slightly big deal that the leader of the United States presented comically faked "evidence" in the Oval Office to justify his power to disappear ordinary people into a Central American prison?

I’ve seen this movie before and it didn’t end well.

So 4 chan got hacked. Apparently they hadnt updated the site software for... 9 years. This is gonna be interesting.

Trump is forcing Americans who are seeking their earned benefits to sign up for Elon Musk's app. Pure corruption.

It’s sadly accurate.

Because we need this history to be remembered and taught in schools. @yoursinegritude.bsky.social @youranoncentral.bsky.social

Keep calling, keep screaming, keep getting loud. It feels endless. It's exhausting. But it matters.

Thank you for your service, sir.

Morning, London. #TeslaTakedown.

Get ready for a continuous occupation of the National Mall until Donald Trump is impeached and removed from office. #3E #EndOligarchy #USProtests

I don’t care about the JFK files, they’re the same exact ones released in 2023. I want the un-redacted Epstein Files. Every single name. Republican. Democrat. CEO. Defense Executive. Celebrity. Every single one of them.

Russia ended the ceasefire in Ukraine it negotiated with Trump minutes after agreeing to it. Trump is a failure and clown. Putin has now attacked a hospital in Sumy, and the cities of Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Sumy, Chernihiv, Poltava, Kharkiv, Kirovohrad, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, and Cherkasy regions.

Everything Musk oversees stays together for a while, but falls apart over time: Cybertrucks, SpaceX rockets, Twitter... It's only a matter of time before we see a rapid unscheduled disassembly of the Trump regime. We just have to keep pulling back the facade until it falls apart, too.

Remember: Wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. We're seeing in real time how the extreme concentration of wealth is distorting our politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of billionaires.

I'm a hard NO on the Republican spending bill. On cloture. On all of it. When a wannabe dictator is trying to seize power, it must not be given to him. Not without a fight. open.substack.com/pub/schiffno...

I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night if one of my products had caused this.

Russia hitting the hotel filled with foreign volunteers immediately after Trump cut intelligence to Ukraine is probably not a coincidence.

Trudeau: We’re probably going to keep booing the American anthem. But let me tell Americans, we're not booing you. We're booing a policy that is designed to hurt us.  But we're Canadian. We're going to fight. And we're going to win.
