Tired of feeling like Charlie Brown when Lucy has the football with these asshats in charge. Disappointed but not broken. Realizing we may have to let it burn to build it back correctly. Stay strong fellow warriors. Down but not out. Lesbian, mom, doctor

Taking credit for things done under Biden again I see.

Art has a special role to play in this moment. It can tell a story far more effectively than someone like me. Artists, please do your thing!

🚨MAJOR EXCLUSIVE: Rep. Greg Casar just called for a MASSIVE corruption probe into what he calls a “really serious allegation” - that Trump and Musk ran a tariff scam where countries dodged tariffs by signing contracts with Musk’s companies. This is explosive.

Looking to cable news hosts to ask every Republican to condemn this... Never going to happen.

REPORTER: On the president's dinner tonight, will the White House commit to making a list of the attendees public so people can see who's paying for that kind of access to the president? LEAVITT: The president is attending it in his personal time

Patrick Gaspard was the U.S. ambassador to South Africa from 2013 to 2016. 🇺🇸 🇿🇦

Trump is now giving the South African president the full Zelenskyy treatment

"The report in question was neither peer-reviewed nor published in a medical journal..." www.nbcnews.com/health/women...

Keep hammering Trump on the Qatari jet, it makes him crazy because he loves handouts but is afraid to admit it. He and Melania used to claim STAR deductions on NYC taxes.

When he showed up to an immigration meeting in Memphis, Kasper Eriksen thought he was on the verge of becoming a citizen. Then ICE arrested the Mississippi father of four, not even giving him a chance to say goodbye to his wife, whisking him away to a prison. @nickjudin.bsky.social reports:

Federal judge dresses down Alina Habba: "Your role is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, nor to advance political agendas. Your allegiance is to the impartial application of the law, to the pursuit of truth and to the upholding of due process for all."

Who’s doing the book on Trump’s cognitive decline?

Trump migrant detentions at Guantanamo Bay cost $100,000 per person daily, U.S. Senator Gary Peters said during a hearing. The White House has requested a huge increase in funding for immigration enforcement as it tries to achieve Trump's goal of mass deportations. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Folks from other states may not understand this, but Nevada’s Senator Rosen is the classiest most patient, hardworking, and drama free legislator at the Capitol. You have to be a disgusting weasel oath breaker for her to speak this way to you. Mi Mamá calls Rubio, “el comemierda.”

Fact checking alone isn't enough when these people speak Fact-twist-checking is the new gold standard. Sheesh.

WTF?! WTF?! I cannot believe the absolute evilness of deporting Asian immigrants to South Sudan. Seriously, I’m so outraged I’m in tears. We have to stop this! IDK how but we must unite against their hate. #OnYourSide www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

These are deeply, profoundly, tragically abnormal times riven by cruel, hateful, reckless and ignorant people bent on dismantling our government, strengthening Putin, stoking fear, breaking our spirit, enriching themselves and ruling over the ashes of public liberty. We won’t let them succeed.

The Trump administration just gave the judiciary the finger - they allegedly deported people from Myanmar and Vietnam to South Sudan despite a court order restricting removals to other countries, attorneys for the migrants said in court documents. apnews.com/article/depo...

NEWS: These filings allege the Trump administration has *already* sent flights to South Sudan in violation of an existing preliminary injunction.

There’s a common theme with the arrest of Rep McIver, Kristi Noem’s failure to define habeas corpus & Trump’s big bad budget bill- YES it’s all a distraction to keep Democrats from focusing on what’s really at stake. But also Republicans ARE that BAD at knowing things 🥴 👇 youtu.be/GK7tIFB0ut4?...

IRS nominee Billy Long's X account recently followed a lot of XXX material. Team Trump insists he was hacked:

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy Sold Stocks Two Days Before Trump Announced a Plan for Reciprocal Tariffs Duffy is the second member of Trump’s cabinet who sold securities shortly before the president’s tariff announcements sent markets plunging. www.propublica.org/article/sean...

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem told the Senate today that we should suspend habeas corpus. When asked what that meant, she incorrectly called it a president's right "to remove people from this country.” Habeas corpus: a due process right that compels authorities to justify imprisonment before a court.

I know that Trump's admin was hired specifically for their willingness to lie for him, but I think Kristi really is dumb enough to believe the idiotic things she says.

🧵on the GOP #MedicaidMassacre This bill will hurt tens of millions of people. Seniors and folks in rural America will be the hardest hit. But we will all suffer. Because I have a background in healthcare, I though it important to lay out the real stakes for this cowardly act by Trump and the GOP.

Surprise surprise. The reputation of Tesla and SpaceX have nosedived after his stint at DOGE. Respondents were asked to judge Tesla on elements like “character.” It placed dead last in this instance, and near the bottom in areas like “ethics” and “citizenship.” www.thedailybeast.com/the-reputati...

KIM: Do you know what section of the Constitution the suspension clause of habeas corpus is in? NOEM: I do not. Nope. KIM: Do you know which article is it in? NOEM: I do not, sir.

This should be the end of Noem’s career in public life. It almost certainly won’t be, however, which is itself damning.

WARREN: Can POTUS legally tell the IRS to change someone's nonprofit status? BILLY LONG: I'm not able to answer WARREN: You can't read these words and tell me what those words say?! LONG: I can read the statute and I did WARREN: Then tell me what they mean!

Don't let up. Hold their feet to the fire. (DoJ: I do not mean to literally light feet on fire.)

Alex Lawson to Rep. Miller-Meeks: Last time you spoke with us you lied to our face and said you wouldn’t vote for Medicaid cuts, but you’ve voted for the largest cuts in the history of the country. Do you have any comment on the health care that 67,000 people in your district are going to lose?

GALLEGO: You requested $50m for a Gulfstream jet. Meanwhile, Rs are about to kick 13m off Medicaid. How can you justify that? NOEM: It's to replace a jet that's over 20 years old G: Would you be using it for travel? N: No idea G: We've seen the Instagram photos. Some really bad weapons handling.

Reupping this because it really needs to penetrate the fog

This is f*cked up. Awarding $5M to the family of Ashli Babbitt is a disgrace to the memory of those who defended democracy on Jan 6th. It dishonors Capitol Police, Metropolitan Police, and especially those who lost their lives or were severely injured protecting the peaceful transfer of power.

The “moderate” republicans in Congress are mighty quiet right now as this corrupt “president” jails his political opponents. This is why I always say THEY ALL MUST GO! Throw them out of office without an ounce of mercy.

'Gross usurpation of power': Judge rips Trump in ruling striking down agency takeover https://twp.ai/4inj10

Pence: "To have POTUS in Saudi Arabia questioning America's global war on terror & describing is as nation building & interventionist I thought was a disservice to generations of Americans who wore the uniform..particularly giving that speech in Saudi Arabia where 15 of the 19 hijackers hailed from"

the President of the United States, everyone

In case you were wondering why Donald Trump is big mad at Bruce Springsteen... Springsteen opened his tour in Manchester, England on Wednesday by saying that America "is currently in the hands of a corrupt, incompetent, and treasonous administration." The Boss nailed it! 🔥

That moment when you realize DOGE was always a scam and your fellow Republicans never actually cared about the debt, all they care about is tax cuts for the rich and transferring wealth from the bottom to the top. @RandPaul

Just got word that Secretary Noem is asking for an addition to her budget - a new private Gulfstream 5 jet for her personal national photo op tour. She's already got a private plane but wants a tricked out new one. All while she supports kicking 13 million people off Medicaid.

Sounds like Gabbard fired them for telling the truth. Not much “intelligence” going on here… www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

Take an Oath to the Constitution, not a king! 3 Big Days for Defending the Constitution! UnitedStronger! #ConstitutionalOath #DefendtheConstitution

Oh noooooooo!!!!! @gtconway.bsky.social caught Pam Bondi's brother doing the same funny math she has become famous for!!!!!

The significance of this, of course, is that the administration claims it is deporting people to fight anti-Semitism but they are letting this bigoted turd in.
