The Minnesota assassination is just the beginning under this fascist regime. Don’t expect the killer to be caught. We have a MAGA FBI. If your eyes aren’t open by now, they never will be.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

The stench of hypocrisy…

CBS reporter Scott Pelley: This is a warning that I fear many will look back on in five or six years and think “he was so right”. If you haven’t already shared this, please do.

Beyond tone deaf.

Do you need a definition of despicable? I gotcha.

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

Hear hear!

These are the accomplishments?

This is not the fight needed to save American freedom

That’s right! Funerals are the bomb!

Chris Hemsworth: 6’3”, 225 lbs. Grandpa RICO: 6’3”, 224 lbs. 🥴

Senator Chuck Grassley faces pushback from frustrated constituents at a town hall in Lee County, Iowa who pressed him about Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, a 29-year-old Maryland father of three who was wrongly deported to El Salvador.

CBS doesn’t require a license to operate. The stations carrying CBS programming do. Trump’s an idiot.

I’m grateful the Shapiro family is safe. It’s despicable for this to happen as the Jewish community is celebrating Passover. Political violence has no place in our country.

Chasten and I are relieved that Governor Shapiro and his family are safe. While we wait to learn more, this much is clear: the targeting of a public official and his family - especially a prominent Jewish official on a major Jewish holiday - is unconscionable and has no place in our country.

Thank you Jared.

Autism didn’t make them do it. Mental illness didn’t, either. This personal piece from The Big Picture cuts through the excuses and names the real issue: some people are just hateful, and we need to stop giving them cover.

Trump is trying to deregulate crypto as his personal businesses get more involved in the industry. He also just gutted the DOJ team that investigates crypto fraud. This may be one of most overt conflicts of interest in presidential history and it's hardly a blip on the news.

MAGA: Violent rapists have no place in this country. Also MAGA: Cry harder. He’s your president.

I will never forgive this stupid MFers who voted for him or the ones who stayed home.

Funding PBS & NPR costs Americans $1.60 a year.

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?

Lying 🤥 Liars 🤥 Lying 🤥 Lots 🤥 #SignalGate #WTFAmerica

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

But her emails 😮

Rep. Lawler has been cheering on DOGE's wilding spree and now his constituents are paying the price.

BREAKING: GOP Minnesota state senator Justin Eichorn, who was caught in a sting operation, resigned under fire Thursday after he was charged with soliciting a minor for prostitution. Before the Senate could vote on whether to expel him, he submitted his resignation in an email to Gov. Tim Walz.

So, this is what we’ve become.

I think we need this today.

The Golden Age? Sadly, all we are seeing is red.

A couple of golf outings could pay for over 300 federal jobs for an entire year.

Clearly the legacy of Joe Biden is deep under Trump’s skin.

I don’t think I’ve witnessed anything more unpresidential. Ever.

What a shit show.

I’d like to know how many Republican lawmakers are now selling their stocks short.

I really don’t think I’ll be able to watch SOTU tonight. I can’t stand the sound of his voice, and his sycophants cheering him on infuriates me. I’m not sure I have the stomach for it.

DO IT

The Trump presidency is deeply embarrassing. Today, he and JD Vance, went to new lows in attacking president Zelenskyy – a true war hero. Trump and Vance looked weak. Absent their positions they are weak. Today we witnessed way beyond Nixonian abuses of power. It was Hilterian.

A trifecta.

Well, I was fine with my tax dollars going toward this cause. That doesn’t mean I’ll be sleeping better tonight.
