Breaking news: The US has been stripped of its top-notch triple-a credit rating by Moody’s on concerns about rising levels of government debt www.ft.com/content/e456...

Great question

Over 20 people have died since severe storms and tornadoes hit Kentucky and Missouri overnight. Meteorologists are beginning to survey the damage.

Took my courgette plants down to the allotment today. My #Robin friend Little Mate wanted to inspect them - he approves, but says that any caterpillars on them are his. #Bird

Good morning. Family. #photography #sheep #EastCoastKin

Van Hollen: I should also just say, I mentioned the fake margarita, they actually wanted to have the meeting by the side of the pool in the hotel. They want to create this appearance that life was just lovely for Kilmar. Which of course is a big, fat lie.

I know I keep repeating myself on this, but it is absolutely *essential* that we elect Democrats who will ensure that these people do end up in The Hague, and not living out comfortable retirements somewhere.

If your Rep or Senator isn't capable of doing Van Hollen-style stuff — for cowardice reasons, or because they're infirm, or they're belatedly sucking up to a dying Trump movement, or really any other reason — you should primary them. It's gonna take a lot more stuff like this. All hands on deck.

"For Perry’s class of people, nothing is at stake and nothing ever has to change, so concepts like empowerment, hope, and resilience have no material reality... The money spent on launching the missile into space has no other possible use because the issues women face on Earth are an afterthought."

Everybody will learn this lesson or they will go down with the fascist ship.

Good morning. The human brain is genetically designed to mend itself. ❤️‍🩹

Please, if you love anything about this life, stop using ChatGPT and other GenAI. Just stop. Don't use it to dunk on it, don't use it for a laugh, just stop and let that shit wither.

All y’all lmk when you find out

there’s just something about a frog holding a banjo that feels so right

I hope you find bloom and abundance today. Bloom and abundance exist—they exist.

There we go. Support this man.

Kinda hard to see a free and fair 2028 election where she doesn’t win by a lot.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

No. You’ve been watching stock market fraud.

Over $2.1 trillion wiped out from US stock market at open. Millions of people out of their investments.

my humble opinion is that if your job is to manage risk and make big decisions about markets and you screw up your judgement this badly you should be disqualified from ever managing money and also shunned completely from speaking on the subject in public again

The administration is a perfect storm of dumb people who enjoy inflicting pain and are addicted to psychotic cruelty and quadrupling down. It ends in total ruin if you don't impeach him.

The Fourth Circuit is famously succinct. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It’s going great

Kamala Harris told us so.

As Trump tanks the economy, he knows he and his billionaire buddies will be fine no matter what. If you and your family have more to lose, make sure your member of Congress hears from you. www.huffpost.com/entry/financ...

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

"Late last night, all humanities councils received emails and letters ... notifying them that all [NEH] awarded grants—including their 5-year General Operating Grants and other program-specific awards—were canceled in their entirety, effective April 1." www.statehumanities.org/action-alert... 🗃️

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

We deserved some good news!

The many triumphed over the money in Wisconsin's Supreme Court election yesterday. Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford, to the people of Wisconsin, and to everyone fighting for a just and free America. Let's keep going.

Tonight, Wisconsinites stood up and said loudly that justice does not have a price—our Courts are not for sale.

Yall. I teach a 3 hour evening class and it takes EVERYTHING. I cannot adequately express my admiration for everything that he’s putting into this moment.

Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.

Wisconsin! Judge Susan Crawford will work to protect your rights and freedoms. So get out there and vote today by 8pm. You can find your polling place at wisdems.org/vote. If you have any questions about voting, call or text the Voter Assistance Hotline at 608-336-3232.

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

I'm not a programming guy but MSNBC and CNN should be airing this Cory Booker thing in the same way you take over programming if there's a no-hitter or a basketball player with 60 points in three quarters. It's a physical feat! Cut in for this kind of thing. Costs nothing, gooses ratings, good TV.

This is what they think of when they talk about the "good old days".
