Trump's new Qatari plane is free! ... if by "free" you mean "an expensive and complicated prospect that could cost taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars."

The Republicans’ Trump agenda bill takes shape, with massive Medicaid cuts on the line... https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/republicans-trump-agenda-bill-takes-shape-massive-medicaid-cuts-line-rcna206804

Yeah, that tracks. @nbcnews.com

Holy moly. Check out this tweet from the new American pope. I’m sure MAGA would hate it if you reposted this right this minute.

MAJOR BREAKING: Congresswoman Sara Jacobs has introduced a bill called the DELETE DOGE Act that would completely defund and stop Elon Musk’s operation. This needs to pass.

BREAKING: European leaders have issued a ceasefire ULTIMATUM to Putin. Either he negotiates an end to the war, or Europe will unleash “massive” sanctions against Russia and supply Ukraine devastating weapons. Putin has 36 hours to respond.

Amen to this! 💙

Do we have any lawyers around here? Can't we get a civil suit going against meta. Clearly, their community standards are not equally applied. Because everything I've ever been in trouble for on FB is a meme, I redistributed, also known as, found in FB! If it's wrong, why was it up for me to share?

Facebook has unfairly disabled my account. Apparently speaking out against trump and having a following of 28,000 is against their community standards of integrity. Utter BS if Zuckerberg had any integrity he wouldn't have run down to Mara-Lago to suck Trump's dick! Fuck you Zuckerberg.

Facebook is disappearing people.

My friend Jennifer Konfrst is an incredible candidate for Congress from Iowa. Please join me in supporting her - secure.actblue.com/donate/jkweb...

The FAA, Department of Transportation, and Trump administration need to deliver solutions for Newark Airport’s air traffic control now.

Next up: a Love Island contestant for the Supreme Court.

This week, democracy had a big win in North Carolina, Trump got smacked down in court again, and Salt Lake City is cleverly defying Utah's Pride Flag ban. For those and more progressive victories, look no further: thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/week-progr...

Listen to Cory.

FEMA’s Acting Administrator was fired - one day after he told those of us on the Appropriations Committee that he didn’t believe the agency should be eliminated. Is that why Donald Trump and Secretary Noem fired him? Apparently, independent thoughts not allowed. abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics...

Congress is not going to reverse habeas corpus—-and no, the president can’t do it himself. Why does Stephen Miller bring it up on a Friday? To try to distract us from the havoc they are wreaking across the economy.

Fighting back works, and here's the proof. After Donald Trump fired half of all federal education workers, I called for an independent investigation. Now, that investigation is underway. We're going to get the American people answers.

Donald Trump's memecoin is the equivalent of posting his Venmo on the internet. Corruption in it's most obvious form. We need accountability.

The Trump Administration is openly talking about suspending the writ of habeas corpus if the courts continue to rule against them. They don't have the authority to do that – and their threats are as reckless and irresponsible as they are dangerous. Let's break it down. youtu.be/3G_A99z5xLo?...

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

I will continue to advocate for supporting libraries..don’t let them close free services to people…

Congratulations to His Holiness Pope Leo XIV on his historic selection. Doug and I join millions across our nation and around the world in praying for him as he steps into his new role and leads the Catholic Church.

Today I am thinking of my mother, Dr. Shyamala Gopalan Harris, and the many lessons she taught me. I am so proud to be her daughter. Happy Mother's Day to the mothers, stepmoms, grandmothers, godmothers, aunties, and all the women in our lives who love, raise, and guide us.

Welcome to the RFK Jr public health era.

🧵 Martin Diaz came to the U.S. as a toddler, fleeing cartel violence with his family. They had proof of the danger—a letter from a Michoacán official. He married a U.S. citizen & was advancing his visa. Then ICE showed up at his home in Spokane: no warrant, no ID #OnYourSide VC pslspokane

When you watch these heartbreaking videos showing the cruel and thuggish behavior of ICE agents, remember that these people are not being FORCED to commit these acts — they do so willingly. They could quit their jobs at any time. They could say “enough!” ICE agents CHOOSE to do what they do.

Putin has proposed holding “direct talks” with Ukraine on Thursday in Istanbul, as European leaders and the United States attempt to push Moscow to agree to a 30-day ceasefire to bring an end to the three-year conflict.

I’m not seeing enough stories note Mayor Baraka was protesting bc a for-profit prison contracted by ICE was operating without complying with local permitting requirements. Federal agents arrested a mayor doing his job in order to help Geo Group Inc profits. www.ice.gov/news/release...

"In March, the Trump administration cut $1 billion from Department of Agriculture programs that provide food to schools and food banks and said there would be future cuts to other programs..." www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

“After school shootings, many Republicans try to shift the public conversation away from gun violence and toward mental health programs that might make mass shootings less likely. Student mental health grants had bipartisan support. “Trump is cutting them anyway.” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
