Newsom on Trump's military parade: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, you see it with Putin, you see it with dictators around the world that are weak ... Weakness masquerading as strength ... that's about as small as it gets ... that's Donald Trump."

"Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Connecticut) posted on X: 'This isn’t Trump just being Trump. The Trump coin scam is the most brazenly corrupt thing a President has ever done. Not close.'" wapo.st/4iAatO1

Not only do the Cubs have the best run differential in baseball. Not only have they played the toughest strength of schedule by a mile. But they've also played just 8 of 23 games at Wrigley Field so far!

"with Justices Thomas and Alito in dissent" - could have called that before the case even got to SCOTUS

Unemployment up. Stock market down. Mortgage rates up. Consumer confidence at worst levels since the Great Depression. Are we great again yet?

This is the kind of thing that, if true, leads to life sentences for treason

I put a hold on Ed Martin’s nomination. He’s denied elections. Fired quality public servants. Attempted to chill free speech. Turns out he’s also carrying water for the Kremlin. So wholly unfit to be a U.S. Attorney.

"Within minutes after DOGE accessed the NLRB's systems, someone with an IP address in Russia started trying to log in. The attempts were 'near real-time'... "Whoever was attempting to log in was using one of the newly created DOGE accounts..." www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

This really should be THE BIGGEST Story in the world right now. Musk is funneling American secrets straight to Russia.

Harvard has set an example for other higher-ed institutions - rejecting an unlawful and ham-handed attempt to stifle academic freedom, while taking steps to make sure students can benefit from an environment of intellectual inquiry, rigorous debate and mutual respect. Let’s hope others follow suit.

Trump essentially told the Supreme Court to kiss off today. This is, by definition, an autocracy, explicitly illegal. Stand up now or it will be too late.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Rep Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY): “Mr. Abrego Garcia must be returned immediately before he is killed in one of the most dangerous prisons in the world. Enough with the fake bravado. This is not America. The Supreme Court must aggressively enforce its order immediately.”

“We are here: Trump is openly defying the Supreme Court while sitting side-by-side with a Latin American strongman who openly mocks our judicial system from inside the Oval Office.” @timmiller.bsky.social and I are depressed, alarmed, angry. Where is the resistance? www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CSh...

If I had to reregister to vote, post SAVE Act, I'd need: a $25 copy of my birth certificate, a $5 copy of my name change, a $3 copy of my marriage license, and an $89 drivers license. OR a $165 passport. Not only is it a poll tax, it's also a pink tax.

So the man who is actively dismantling our democratic institutions, the man who is currently saying fuck due process, snatching innocent people off our streets, and dumping them into foreign gulags, that man is “charming” in private? Do I have that right @billmaher?

If Kristi Noem can go down to El Salvador and take concentration camp selfies, then DOJ can figure out where Abrego Garcia is. Just start jailing people for contempt of court until they find out.

Garcia: She's playing cosplaying as an ice agent, running around the country, going down to El Salvador, to prisons. You know, holding guns, dressing up. She is a joke

Imagine being a small business with debt, that you used to import products you had manufactured in china. In the time it took to make the products, tariffs were added, that more than doubled your cost. They are crushed Are there any states offering support for their businesses ?

War hero schools a chickenhawk.

This is an objectively pro crime, pro criminal administration.

Tell me again why we’re letting a 78 year old, legit smelly, odorous, frail, loser old man who bankrupted a CASINO bankrupt the country? Congress? Any answers?

While golfing

The good old days

There are 32m small businesses in the USA

Powerful voices from VA clinicians under attack. Veterans are going to see dramatic changes. The suicide rate is going to climb. Homelessness will go up. SecVA Collins knows and doesn't care. Great piece from my friend @krisgoldsmith85.bsky.social. Free read. open.substack.com/pub/onoffens...

He’s an idiot. If you didn’t know that before, know that now. He’s an idiot.

Don’t blame just Trump for this. Blame every congressional Republican. They own this tariff disaster too. In fact, they own every stupid, ignorant, cruel, authoritarian, un-American thing Trump does. Cowards. Enablers. Accomplices.

Despicable

More of the same BS relief pitching coming from Cubs

Donald Trump is a weak coward, who has never done anything difficult in his life, thinks all caps tweeting is tough, and threatens Allies because hes too scared of Iran/Russia/China And he wears MAKEUP CONSTANTLY. LOL

Epic 🤣🔥

Give the mic operator a raise immediately
