A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

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.

Kristi Noem billed South Dakota taxpayers more than $640,000 in personal travel-related costs, including a six-day trip to Paris, a bear hunt in Canada, a trip to Houston for dental work to fix her smile, and a book tour. But she can afford a $50,000 Rolex for a prison porn photo op in El Salvador.

Early voting has started in Wisconsin, where Elon Musk is trying to buy another election. Winning on April 1 would secure the liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court through 2028. Help us get out the vote for workers’ rights champion Susan Crawford: www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

AOC: Fox News and the right-wing would have you believe that these American values are something out of The Communist Manifesto. But let me tell you Fox News, I don’t believe in healthcare, labor, and human rights because I’m a Marxist.. I believe it because I was a waitress.

"President Trump took time out of his busy day today - from tanking the stock markets, inflaming trade wars with our allies, threatening to annex more sovereign territories - to produce a car infomercial for his largest campaign donor and fellow Nazi enthusiast, Elon Musk."

Yes. It’s so toxic that lying - in a fantastical and easily disprovable way - carries no moral opprobrium. When did this become ok? It’s one of the reasons we’re so exhausted.

also, listening to @andyrichter.co on here lucidly talk about comedy, including why American conservative comedy just usually fails at being funny in any way even to people who are conservative, is such a delight

NEW: The actions of Trump and Vance in recent weeks highlight something under-appreciated. The American right is now ideologically closer to countries like Russia, Turkey and in some senses China, than to the rest of the west (even the conservative west). My column: www.ft.com/content/3046...

As an aside, I genuinely think the Russian pipeline to right wing media has led us to this moment. Any Trump watcher knows how influenced he is by what he watches on Fox/tv - he often parrots them within minutes of watching. Just astonishing how we got here

The only person in the world who has the power to hold Trump responsible rn is King Charles. He could rescind the invite. B/c of the way Trump sees the world + his longtime obsession with the royal family, it would humiliate him more than anything else could. I know it's not int he cards, but...

Trump’s disgusting behavior in our Oval Office in the company of a genuine hero and defender of democracy like Volodymyr Zelensky may be the most disgraceful public behavior by any president in our history.

Wall Street Journal Editorial Board comes out swinging against JD Vance. Indeed, key moment in downward spiral was Vance lashing out in response to Zelenskyy's point on diplomacy with Putin WSJ: "It is bewildering to see Mr. Trump’s allies defending this debacle as some show of American strength."

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

Magas pretend to care about the Epstein files, thinking Trump (pals w Jeffrey) is a savior. They ignore the real hero journalist who took Epstein down after his Republican sweetheart deal (via Trump appointee Acosta) allowed him to go free. We owe a debt of gratitude to @jkbjournalist.bsky.social
