Peter Doocy of FNC just asked Press Sec Leavitt "Why do these Ivy League universities get so much money from the government?" As it happens, Harvard just changed their homepage to attempt to answer that question. www.harvard.edu

Listen to what she says. Repost. Send it to friends. If all it is is we the people than it’s we the people. Remember this, we are ordinary citizens. Teachers, chefs, lawyers, judges, nurses, cashiers, autoworkers, homeless parents, docs, electricians, mechanics, immigrants, veterans. We the people!

Four Russian journalists have been convicted of extremism and jailed for working with an anti-corruption group founded by the opposition leader Aleksei Navalny, highlighting the perils of independent journalism amid an intensified Kremlin crackdown on freedom of expression.

Shout out to Berine, to AOC, to Corey Booker, to Jamie Raskin, to Chris Van Hollen, to Jasmie Crockett, to Chris Murphy and a few others... When you show you are willing to fight for us, we will rally behind you! Keep it up! This moment calls for fighters, not career "politicians" #FORTHEPEOPLE

Of course he did!

Every word he says here is a lie. Every single word. He lies because his voters let him lie.

A town hall for Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia on Tuesday quickly deteriorated into chaos, as police officers forcibly removed several protesters and subdued two of them with stun guns. Read more: nyti.ms/42MLMZV

A month later, this report still hasn’t been contradicted. No one—not even avid Musk fans—has been able to identify even a single _personal_ achievement of his of an _intellectual_ character (i.e., _not_ paying for someone else to hire experts or paying those experts). Musk is a non-genius fraud.

Exactly how it's done.

Some stats from 100 days in on congestion pricing: - Complaints about car-honking are down 70% - The Holland Tunnel has 65% fewer delays at rush hour; time to get thru it is down 48% - 6 million fewer cars - Half as many traffic-related injuries - 1.5 million more visitors to BIDs year over year

It’s time to elect better, smarter and more courageous politicians.

I love that Judge Xinis, by ordering the govt to tell her what they’ve done rather than telling them what to do, has reduced them to flailing. “The plaintiffs are demanding we do X, which is overreach!” Ah, but the court hasn’t asked you to do X. The court is just asking: *what have you done*?

Harvard refuses to be a tool of totalitarianism and propaganda. I hope defiance is contagious. Now Trump has frozen research grants at Dana-Farber, including into the cancer treatment that saved my dad's life. This is cruelty beyond measure. open.substack.com/pub/virginia...

Jonathan Swan, of the NYT, asks Ms Leavitt (all paraphrased) "The President said that it was a terrible abuse of power for the prior Admin to prosecute him. How is it not then an abuse of power when he directed his own DOJ to investigate two people he doesn't like?" Leavitt: "That's his policy."

So Trump wants to start shipping “homegrown criminals” to El Salvador? This is fine—if the first person sent is Donald Trump. See the newest cartoon from @deadder.bsky.social:

So they named their kid after a historical figure who murdered his brother.

Oh my god you want me to find "evidence" before putting someone in jail? Every time?? Do you have any idea how long that would take

Last one for Tax Day – NOAA 🌊 The average U.S. taxpayer contributes $21/year to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. 💡 NOAA turns science into safety — for coasts, communities, & the climate. It helps safeguard lives, property, and ecosystems from rising seas and extreme weather.

Throw up protectionist trade barriers that hurt farmers, then bail out farmers with government handouts. MAGA Socialism.

I think I’m right

He’s going to be fired because he outed the fact that Musk arranged with Hegseth to get a top secret briefing at the Pentagon. Trump and his Chief of Staff didn’t even know about it. As usual, in Trump World, the person who does the right thing is the one who is punished.

This is brave This is good Thank you

We had the reporter on tonight; @maddow has the whistleblower

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

A Delaware judge finds the right-wing network aired false and defamatory statements about Dominion Voting Systems' role in the 2020 presidential election. A jury trial is slated for late April.

He just testified all morning about the reasons why the tariff policy was going to make America great. Then he checked his phone and realized everything he just said was canceled on Truth Social.

“Yet right here in DC we have a 34 count felon being harbored in the White House.” She does not mince words, is not here to play pretend government, and is unabashed in calling out the egregious hypocrisy. If just a few more people had a fraction of her courage and skill, we wouldn’t be here.

I agree.

That’s because there weren’t any.
