Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.

This is an official plan for ethnic cleansing. If you supported Israel for the past 18 months or so under the assumption that this was about the hostages you were taken for a ride. If you still support Israel's assault on Gaza, you support ethnic cleansing. It's that simple.

Stop what you’re doing & listen to this!

I test all of the scripts I write for voter to voter outreach at the grocery store. “Billionaires should pay their fair share” is not as effective as, “We need to stop picking up the employee grocery & healthcare tab for 902 stingy billionaires” What do the different responses look like? #idpol

Not to state the obvious, but none of them were sent to a terrorist prison in El Salvador. They all had lawyers, indictment by grand jury, a trial or a guilty plea where a judge ensured it was knowing & voluntary & access to an appeals process. In other words, all the hallmarks of due process.

I do get that JK Rowling (and women like her) have personal experiences that are sensitive & nuanced, but, morally & politically: THIS PART ALL DAY & ALL NIGHT...

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.

AOC: How can anyone possibly make an objective vote on healthcare, energy, or war when their personal wealth is tied up in pharmaceutical, oil and gas, or defense company stock?

This is a Donald Trump problem, and a $USD problem, not the "deleveraging" problem they're trying to spin... Bond markets like stability & they punish weak, unstable borrowers w/ lower prices & higher yields. Mr. Transactional just effed us all & US will never be the superpower it once was... :/

Isn’t X a private company? Isn’t Social Security a public benefit. Isn’t this cronyism of the first order?

The Trump admin has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new EO on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Ironically, this egregious instance of police shootings occurred on same day as "largest protest rally in Pocatello's history."

This part.

I will never forgive Reagan for deregulating the FCC (among other things), but he wasn't a dumb man, nor was he a subverter of the US Constitution like 45/47 has always been.

Beyond. Parody.

💯 Calling it now. This speech by @booker.senate.gov is the spoken equivalent for our era as MLK’s Letter from Birmingham Jail was for his

I’ve taken the Senate floor and will speak for as long as I’m physically able to lift the voices of Americans who are being harmed and not being heard in this moment of crisis. Watch here:

I'm no tech whiz, but isn't this like ordering someone to take a picture of the dinner after it's already been eaten? 🧐

🚨BREAKING: President Donald Trump signed an executive order Tuesday commanding wide-ranging changes to how U.S. elections are administered, a move that will be swiftly challenged by voting rights organizations across the country. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
