What is happening to our country? How can this be remotely acceptable or legal? www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Walz: We don’t need to run government like a business, because we’re not in the profit-making business. We’re in the business of improving lives and looking toward the future. And second, this guy has a proven track record of being an absolute failure.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Draft dodger gets a military parade? Meanwhile, veterans need homes. Fix the priorities. $92 million could save lives. This isn’t honor. It’s hypocrisy. what does Trump have on Lindsey Graham. #MilitaryParade #SupportVets #SmashFascism #VeteransFirst #50501soldiers #June14th #92million

I'm sure all the MAGA patriots blueline lovers think this wonderful 🤢

BREAKING: Jasmine Crockett has made it official that she's running to be the ranking member of the House Oversight Committee following Rep. Connolly's announcement that he'll be stepping down. This is Donald Trump’s worst nightmare.

Update: the Trump administration has proposed cutting the National Park System by $900 million, about one third of its budget.

Paul Weiss and the firms that settled should be ashamed.👇 "These are big boys. These are the biggest, most powerful lawyers. These are not people that are easily intimidated. And they paid hundreds of millions of dollars because I guess they probably felt they did something wrong." --Donald Trump

This is a must-read. Governor Pritzker is spot on heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/april-28-2...

In Pope Francis’s last public address, he preached care of the marginalized, the vulnerable, and migrants, saying: “I would like all of us to hope anew and to revive our trust in others, including those who are different than ourselves.” May we heed his wish.

What the hell is happening in this country?

No, Mr. Trump. We won't allow you to pay for tax breaks to billionaires by eliminating Head Start which provides early education to over 800,000 children and LIHEAP that keeps seniors and families warm in the winter. Your budget proposal is morally obscene. It must be defeated.

The fundamental choice has not been as stark since World War II: democracy and freedom, or dictatorship and tyranny. Trump and his sycophants are siding with the latter. The rest of us must loudly, proudly, and boldly proclaim our allegiance to the former.

Great interview with @repjasmine.bsky.social @hcrichardson.bsky.social on realities of Project 2025, hosted by @redwineblueusa.bsky.social - especially liked emphasis that WE are the majority, WE will get the US to represent us! www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXt3...

What an AMAZING line-up!! 'It isn't about party lines - it's Right versus Wrong! @hcrichardson.bsky.social @repjasmine.bsky.social

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: If you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.

Pathetic.

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.

An innocent man, picked up by “mistake,” must not be allowed to rot in an El Salvadorian jail. Mr. President. Obey the courts. Obey our Constitution. Bring him home immediately.

Trump is preparing to defund Maine’s public schools after he demanded a “full throated apology” from their governor for not obeying him and she is refusing to do so.

Disgusting

Number of people who go bankrupt every year because of medical bills or illness-related work loss: Australia 0 Canada 0 Denmark 0 Finland 0 France 0 Germany 0 Iceland 0 Ireland 0 Italy 0 Japan 0 Netherlands 0 Norway 0 Portugal 0 Spain 0 Sweden 0 UK 0 United States 530,000 There’s a lesson there.

Birds of a feather

Netanyahu’s Israel is completely out of control. As an American, I'm disgusted with Trump,his followers,and those who couldn't be bothered to vote. As a Palestinian, I'm horrified that across the globe, no one in power seems concerned enough to stop Israel's land grab and genocidal behavior.

Hands Off protest at the Minnesota state Capitol

The fact that everything around us is burning to the ground & some people still have no clue that they voted for the arsonist or are complicit in the arson is absolutely mind boggling. People are ok with it so long as the black woman isn’t their President 🤯. America, we have a problem!

Jeffries: He somehow sold himself to significant numbers of Americans as a businessman—but he’s a failed businessman, having bankrupted multiple companies. And now Donald Trump is trying to literally bankrupt America.

Dear American citizens, whatever you wish more German citizens would have done in 1933, do that now.

If you’re upset about the chaos and corruption Trump is inflicting on your country—whether your focus is the nihilistic dismantling of government, the economy, our foreign relations, or his threats to the rule of law—please join the nationwide marches on April 5. Learn more here 👉 handsoff2025.com

I love this!

Maga Trumpeconomics will destroy our country. Almost 60 years old, and I've never experienced this level of hatred and loathing.

👏👏👏👏

Kill a white millionaire, get the death penalty. Kill two black protesters, get invited to CPAC to be celebrated.
