The Trumpites are on the warpath about Biden's "autopen" — that he didn't actually sign orders. Trump has no idea what he is signing. Anyone who has dealt with declining relatives knows the way you could amuse them by letting them think they are doing big things. The difference in this case ...

The remaining fed workers right now

Gross dishonesty. The MAGA budget will increase the deficit by as much as $5T. The direction it takes us is one of the reasons for the Moody's downgrade.There are no net spending cuts in the bill. Repeat that: No net spending cuts. There are just cuts to regular people to fund tax cuts for the rich.

“I’m not surprised that nobody turned in their colleagues,” a retired EPA worker said. His former co-workers understood the importance of addressing pollution that disproportionately impacted communities of color, he added. “That’s part of the mission — it has been for decades."

MUST WATCH: Trump stood on a U.S. military base, looked soldiers in the eye, and said he “won 3 elections” and “might run for a 4th.” He’s bragging about overthrowing the Constitution to the goddamn military. That’s not funny. That’s treason in real time. And he’s testing how far he can go.

Murphy: "There's no guarantee that we are gonna have a free and fair election in 2026. He's trying to rig our democracy, to destroy dissent, to cripple the opposition, so that even if his approval ratings are in the 30s next year, there isn't the ability for his opposition to muster a real campaign"

BREAKING: A woman was kicked out of a women’s bathroom at a Massachusetts hotel by a security guard who demanded she “prove her gender.” No badge gives you the right to sexually harass someone in a bathroom. This is what fascism looks like in real time. And it’s coming to your city next.

RFK Jr. - “Stupid is as Stupid does”… If there were absolutely anyone who seemed like they might take the risk of knowingly swimming in sewer water, it’d be hard to come up with a more likely candidate than Kennedy. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/r...

Duffy on the air traffic control system: "The lights are blinking, the sirens are turning ... what you see in Newark is gonna happen in other places across the country." Good luck, air travelers!

Trump wants to ration dolls, tariff Hollywood, reopen Alcatraz, and hang with Proud Boys—while questioning the Constitution. On this MeidasTouch Podcast, we break down his authoritarian meltdown and big wins for democracy abroad. Watch live at 8p ET/5p PT!

BREAKING: Y’all said boycotting Target was pointless. Now their CEO just got a 45% pay cut and the company’s bleeding out. Turns out, hitting ’em in the wallet works. Keep applying pressure. Stay loud. www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

A whistleblower at the National Labor Relations Board caught DOGE staffers stealing 10GB of Americans’ sensitive data and then trying to cover it up. We're demanding answers.

United Airlines is cancelling 35 daily round trip flights from Newark, N.J., starting this weekend after a group of air-traffic controllers walked off the job

They need to say no and protect privacy laws!

When confronted by Trump, so many people and organizations look to polling for guidance, get paralyzed, talk in circles or just fold like a cheap suit. Disabled American Veterans, on the other hand, has taken the right approach. This is how you respond.

No escape from tariffs

🦋 US Court of Appeal rules on block of DOGE access to Social Security records A full panel of judges on the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 9-6 to keep the bar from U.S. District Judge Ellen Hollander in place while DOGE pushes forward with an appeal. 🦋

Trump on China: "They made a trillion dollars with Biden selling us stuff. Much of it we don't need. Somebody said, 'oh, the shelves are gonna be open.' Well, maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, and maybe the two dolls will cost a couple of bucks more."

A ceasefire in Ukraine would allow Russia to reposition its forces and increase the threat to the Baltics, FT reports. Moscow aims to build a 1.5-million-strong army, doubling its troop presence near Finland and the Baltics. www.ft.com/content/9b50...

Assume a forced peace by this autumn. 1 September 2026 at 4.00 am, massive simultaneous invasion of all three Baltic allies. Putin threatens to wipe Warsaw, Berlin, and Stockholm off the map if they interfere. Trump calls for peace talks, mentions rights of Russian speakers in Baltics.

⚡️Russian sensors found tracking UK nuclear submarines, Sunday Times reports. The U.K.'s Defense Ministry also received credible intelligence suggesting that superyachts owned by Russian oligarchs could have been used for underwater reconnaissance, according to the Sunday Times.

Lindsey Graham will not want to live in a world where sexual predation rules your best buddy out of assuming the papacy.

#100days but it feels so much longer

Jess has a very thorough breakdown of just how bad and ridiculous the TAKE IT DOWN act is. It is embarrassing that @klobuchar.senate.gov thinks this is a good bill. It is unacceptable that basically every Dem voted for it.

guy who claims that he is neither the administrator of DOGE nor an employee of DOGE carries around a badge that says THE DOGEFATHER

Congratulations to Canada for electing Carney!

NEW PIECE: I've been working for a while on a piece on social security death notices and payment finality. Just as I was finalizing it, including with a new legal memo!- it was reported that DOGE declared four MILLION people dead. Read all about the issues here www.crisesnotes.com/the-crisis-a...

"Imagine if I had pulled Fox News’ credentials from the White House press corps.… Imagine if I had said to law firms that were representing parties that were upset with policies my administration had initiated, that you will not be allowed into government buildings."

*nervous laughter what the fuck gif * *crosses out text* yeah we knew this was coming but trapping women financially is i don't have words

NEW: Government officials insist that neither DOGE nor Musk have any real decision-making authority—they merely “advise” or “consult.” But internal DOJ emails provide the most compelling evidence yet that DOGE is not simply advising—it’s calling the shots. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/on-d...

DOGE's firings, and the ways they did it, will cost the federal government $135 billion this fiscal year, www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/u...

With the recent announcement of Sen. Dick Durbin not seeking reelection it’s only fitting that his replacement for Senate should be no other than Congresswoman Lauren Underwood @underwood.house.gov !! Let’s start the rally cry now #UnderwoodForSenate!! #blacksky #politicalsky #blackwomenlead

"It's inconvenient to give everyone due process, so we won't do it for certain people" is a sentence that's never been said by someone who believed in a free country.
