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.

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%

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.

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.

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.

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.
