wow -- @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com chokes up while talking about how the Trump administration is killing kids who relied on USAID to get life-saving medicine

What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules. It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.

The Trump administration has revoked permission for a 4-year-old Mexican girl who receives lifesaving medical care from a California hospital to stay in the country, attorneys for the family said on Wednesday.

On January 6, 2021, President Trump incited a deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol—and yet the plaque honoring the officers who defended us sits forgotten in the basement. If Speaker Johnson won’t display it, then I will. I’m proud to affix this replica outside my office.

NOTUS scoop: RFK Jr's just-released "Make America Healthy Again" report cites non-existent studies and looks written by AI. These people now say they will override scientists to determine what is and is not "gold-standard science". Brace for public health disasters. 1/ www.notus.org/health-scien...

Please contact Gov Hobbes & AZ Dept of Ag & ask to keep the Salt River Wild Horse Management Group as herd managers. They have effectively reduced herd numbers as directed but with use of humane birth control and natural attrition (predators, age, etc). The herd has already been reduced by 40%

Donald Trump will be furious if you share this video of the brutal openings of tonight's late-night comedy shows over his first 100 days in office.

#DOGE is not a real “department” created by Congress. It had no legitimacy, no clearances, no authority whatsoever to grab American Citizens’ private information New lawsuit takes aim at Trump and DOGE's government overhaul www.npr.org/2025/04/29/n...

NEW: Top federal watchdog says they have opened more than *three dozen* investigations to determine if President Trump violated federal law by improperly withholding congressionally authorized funds. Earlier, Dems estimated Trump has blocked more than $400b. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/29/u...

We made a deliberate choice as a nation, until now, not to have a police state. We siloed off federal data and put in place laws, regulations, policies and internal norms to prevent the federal government from putting together everything it knows about you into one place. Trump is ending all that.

80 years ago today 4/29/1945 Fascist Italian dictator Benito Mussolini is shot & killed & hung in the town square with 3 other Fascist leaders & his mistress. Mussolini’s body/face is then pummeled to an unrecognizable form by many thousands of angry Italians seeking revenge.

SCOOP: A DOGE Aide Involved in Dismantling the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Owns Stock in Companies That Could Benefit From the Cuts, by @jakepearson.bsky.social

personally would like to see every store show what part of the price increase is due to tariffs bc if these tariffs ever come down, i need to see that price go right back down

My statement on the Antisemitism Awareness Act ahead of tomorrow's Senate markup:

Republicans complaining that the word "gutting Medicaid" is an exaggeration is like Jeffrey Dahmer giving a restaurant 2 stars on Yelp for not having enough vegan options on the menu. (They have proposed cutting $800 billion over 10 years. That's gutting as far as I'm concerned.)

"Trump is increasingly unpopular, and there’s every reason to believe that Democrats can attack him successfully even on areas where he not long ago seemed to be strong. This is, in fact, a chance to tie fascist politics to a toxic presidency."

Donald Trump is going after small donor fundraising platforms that support progressive candidates, because he knows that while he might have the billionaires, we have the people on our side.

Canada’s Conservative Party is alive. But, Poilievre’s Trump alignment destroyed him - he lost the election and his own seat. Canada sent a decisive message: politicians who prioritize personal ambition, partisan games, or alignments with MAGA figures over national interest will be firmly rejected.

While much of Trump’s first 100 days followed the script laid out in the Project 2025 playbook, it’s clear that his goal isn’t just to empower the conservative movement — it’s to consolidate power for himself.

Oh myyy. This looks like a Ticketmaster surcharge!

Breaking News: The Trump administration fired Joe Biden appointees, including Kamala Harris’s husband, Doug Emhoff, from the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum board.

Crimes against humanity! I am sickened to my core! This must be stopped!

RFK Jr’s HHS Plans to Cut the National Suicide Hotline’s Program for LGBTQ Youth. It receives on average 2,100 contacts a day. This is metaphorically telling LGBTQ youth they can go kill themselves. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I gotta talk about this. I care for my 98 y/0 mom. Though she was a rural postmaster for 20 yrs we must be careful. I’m not so well situated, starting over at 42. @mcuban.bsky.social ‘s cost plus saves us almost half the cost of her COPAY on the drugs she needs. We couldn’t before. Check again.

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Absolutely brutal.

Ah yes, the government asking Jews to register as Jewish, in the name of protecting the Jews. No way that could go wrong www.nytimes.com/2025/04/23/n...

This is the beginning….

Musk is dismantling a small but important independent agency that supports economic development in poor but stable nations. Employees at the Millennium Challenge Corporation were informed that they would be offered early retirement or deferred resignation following visits from Musk’s staffers.

These cuts included seven of the eight members of the team that studies firefighter line-of-duty deaths...The fatality investigation team was examining deaths at 20 fire departments when the layoff notices arrived. by Mark Olalde: www.propublica.org/article/trum...

U.S. soldiers now serve under a Defense Secretary who drops classified strike plans in a Signal chat with his wife and bros. With Hegseth in charge, the Pentagon’s greatest threat might be Wi-Fi access.

Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick

Some of the students who survived the Parkland shooting are now at FSU, where they just faced another school shooting. These students should be looking forward to graduation, not reliving the same trauma. It’s past time for our elected leaders to take real action on gun violence prevention.

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who is glad to see, in a Congress full of Republicans cowering in fear at the idea of trump's retaliation, Senators like Chris Van Hollen can still say FUCK YOU and stand up for the rule of law and due process. Well done, Senator.👏

Over 1,000 international students had their legal status snatched by the Trump admin—no warning, no hearing, no due process. This ain’t immigration policy. It’s a power trip.
