In these dark times, it’s great to come together and find something we can all take joy in.

Don’t forget, Chauvin’s state crimes can’t be pardoned - and that’s the longer of the two sentences. Also don’t forget the people who support that murderer.

Fuck the Missouri GOP.

Weber: I'm glad you're addressing us instead of speaking to the camera. … AOC: There are 13.7 million Americans on the other side of that screen. Hello. I’m talking to you because I work for you. They deserve to see what is happening here..

BERNIE SANDERS: Is healthcare a human right? RFK Jr: It's not a right of a kind that we otherwise enshrine in the Constitution ... the objective is to get Americans the level of healthcare they want SANDERS: They don't want the choice to be uninsured or die

A restaurant called “Don’t fill up on that” where all we serve are the free bread courses from other restaurants. Cheddar Bay biscuits, chips and salsa, brown bread from Outback, breadsticks from the Olive Garden, and the servers are always all “now don’t fill up on this” and we all laugh and laugh

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*. What the HELL? 1/

AOC: This administration — and Noem — spits on the American flag every time they engage in that nonsense. So I don’t want to hear anything about “America First.” These people, and this administration, are putting America last by acting like their allegiance is to a man instead of the Constitution.

How could you not be impressed by a bird in your yard? This dude can fly anywhere and it came here to hang out with you

This has been FRYING me all morning 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

So many people have grown up to be the villains of our stories.

the new york sewer rats have finally elected a new rat pope

“See you in court.”

Thou shalt not photoshop gang tattoos onto people’s knuckles in a vain attempt to justify thy evil.

THIS THIS THIS

AOC: We heard that we should take your word that Medicaid will be protected — that we should trust you that no one is going to be affected by this. But as a woman, the word was given that my rights would not be taken away by the Supreme Court — and that wasn’t true.

Trump spent the entire campaign saying that tariffs are the “most beautiful” thing ever. Why doesn’t he want Amazon to show them off?

Canadian Voter: I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump, because Trump is, I’m sorry to say, an asshole.

Interesting that if you shop at Whole Foods, a lot of money is spent making it feel like a place that respects workers and embraces progressive values, but it is not. Costco just feels like a warehouse but they treat their workers pretty well and has rejected anti-DEI BS

Plenty of politicians on both sides of the aisle feel threatened by rising class consciousness.

Walz: Here in Minnesota, freedom means several things. It means freedom from hunger and poverty. That means freedom to worship or not. It means the freedom to be who you are anyway you choose, and that is a birthright..

Correct from the president of Harvard www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/u...

sorry the pope died but at least he didn’t have to read that kanye tweet like the rest of us.

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

I'm about to do an interview with local media on HJR 73. It is the bill to put an abortion ban back on the ballot after we just overturned our abortion ban back in November. Friends, Republicans are going to try to put lies on the ballot summary and trick our neighbors into voting for another ban.

Jessica: Abrego Garcia's legal status was approved by the Trump administration in 2019, and every year since then, he has checked in with the departed of homeland security, and no one has said anything about him being a gang banger.

I’m down…

Rich people are amazing. People will be going hungry out there, and they’ll be like yeah, but I went to space.

If Karoline Leavitt or anyone in this administration has receipts showing that Mr. Garcia is a member of MS-13, or engaged in human trafficking, they’d be presenting them in a power point presentation every single day.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Abrego Garcia's wife: "I will not stop fighting until I see my husband alive. Kilmar, if you can hear me, stay strong. God hasn't forgotten about you. Our children are asking when you will come home ... they miss their dad so much."

Vance’s favorite demagogic tactic, which he brings to every argument, is to reshape his opponent’s position in an absurdly extreme and preposterous way so he gets to argue with a fictitious person who doesn’t exist. It would take one phone call from Trump - everyone knows that.

Just updated this timeline to fix a typo and address an error in the last box where I'd gotten the manner of arrest wrong. I present the full version Mr. Abrego's time in the United States, using court documents to explain the allegations of gang membership and what actually happened in his case.

AOC: We saw Majorie Taylor Greene buy that dip. How much did you make? How much did you make off of people’s despair? How much did you make off of that panic? How much did you make off of that suffering? No more. We can’t accept it

Life finds a way—this tree pushed through pavement and even wrapped itself around a stop sign in L.A. #Nature doesn’t ask for permission. [Marika Sparrow]

Strong moment from AOC’s speech in Utah

AOC: Donald Trump is a criminal—convicted on 34 felony counts of fraud. He is lying, and he is manipulating the stock market too. At his best, he enriches himself, the billionaires who back him, and the members of Congress who trade with him. Not you. Not me. Not the people.

Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

It’s the stupid, economy.

You set the house on fire, watched it burn, and then lost your nerve and put it out. You now have a partially burned house. Great job.

“are you wearing the—?” “the habeas boots? the boots in which I carry all my habeas petitions just in case I get disappeared to the gulag in el salvador? yeah, yeah I am.”

Ope.

What do the Republicans and the oligarchs fear most? Solidarity between poor rural whites and Black urban folks. They have always feared it. It’s time to come together, friends. Our futures are bound up together.

Here he is today, deeply concerned about economic hardship caused by his tariff scheme.

On one hand: we’re crashing our economy for no reason. On the other hand: all our allies now hate us.

FAULKER: Will there be a point where President Trump might say, we better subsidize the farmers to get them over the hump? BROOKE ROLLINS: We'll make sure we'll ready if that is necessary FAULKER: *abruptly pivots to transphobia*
