I am ashamed of this country. We are supposed to be a melting pot of cultures. Celebrating eachother and our differences. I am sick to my stomach.

Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement. The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.

👀 @johnfugelsang.bsky.social : “Ever notice nobody hates other Americans more than Americans who boast how American they are? Cali gives $80 BILLION more than it takes... This isn’t even legal. The only thing he hates more than the new testament is the constitution.”

This is from The Atlantic. This is exactly how Democrats should message Trump‘s bill. 👇🏻

Yes, this is real, yes, fascists are in charge, and yes, they are trying to destroy science, scientists and Universities. Lysenkoism won’t end well, but it’ll do great in feeding red meat to the most ignorant people in the U.S. until midterms are over.

Nothing to see here—just the President of the United States pumping his own shitcoin and hosting a dinner with its top holders, while he and his family rake in hundreds of millions of dollars. Golden age of corruption.

Abortion bans. Voter suppression. Corporate capture. Legal immunity for Trump. These aren't glitches — they’re part of the same MAGA playbook. And the Supreme Court is helping write it.

Ashli Babbitt would be alive if today if she hadn’t listened to Trump’s election denialism lies. If anyone should be paying Babbitt’s family $30M it should be Trump himself, not taxpayers.

This is what the start of an economic collapse looks like. #BlameTrump

REPUBLICAN MATH… Red states slash taxes, cut services because of less revenue than blue states like California have to make up for their shortfall.

Do NOT let these malicious acts move your Overton window.

My favorite part of the #NFLDraft is watching a young man fulfill his lifelong dream and then immediately get read to filth by Nick Saban.

I have gotten confirmation from sources inside the Coast Guard that this is in fact true and happened in Key West. ICE went into military housing and took the spouse of a USCG member who is currently out to sea.

SCOOP: three days after Kilmar Abrego García’s family sued the govt for his wrongful deportation, US officials began working on plan to fix the mistake and ensure his safety in El Salvador until they could bring him back. Then the Trump administration dug in www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

75% of people deported to Bukele’s CeCOT torture prison DO NOT have a criminal record. They’re innocent. Let that sink in. 60 Minutes did the work—this is state-sanctioned cruelty, not justice. This is why due process exists. @farronbalanced.bsky.social

American workers who support this guy need to wake TF up.

The FBI is literally arresting judges now. Milwaukee County Circuit Judge Hannah Dugan is accused of "shielding an immigrant in her courthouse from being detained by ICE" by “intentionally misdirecting” federal agents who arrived at the courthouse to detain an immigrant set to appear before her."

•••••BREAKING••••• Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth used a “dirty” internet line to circumvent the Pentagon’s security protocols in his office in order to use Signal on his personal computer. A “dirty” line is an unsecured, commercial internet line. It exposes users to hackers,…

I love this rivalry and also I hate this rivalry.

NIH autism study will pull from private medical records www.npr.org/2025/04/23/n...

Tale of two headlines. The Independent in the UK vs Washington Post (which did the original reporting revealing that DHS posted Jennifer Vazquez Sura’s address) wrongly vs mistakenly forced into a safe house vs caught in a political frenzy doxxed by her own government vs her kids have autism

There are more human beings alive in the world today than ever at any point in history. The human population is growing at an exponential rate. A J-shaped curve. Concern about “declining birth rates” is a dog whistle, and not a quiet one.

The FOTUS saying we can’t give everyone trials He needs to go

Left is right, up is down, and paid Russian propagandists are “unbiased journalists”.

At least 28 Florida State University students experienced their *second* mass shooting last week - they were at Parkland. They've written an open letter to Ron DeSantis against campus carry and attempts to lower the gun purchase age and for a stronger safe storage law and mental health services.

Two headlines in the New York Times today.

This isn’t just about Pete Hegseth. 🔴 Trump nominated him. 🔴 Republicans backed him. 🔴 JD Vance broke the tie to confirm him. He’s not an outlier—he’s exactly what you get with this corruption-coddling, chaos-driven administration.

This is what dictatorships do. And if you think they won't get around to disappearing US citizens who speak out against Trump, just wait a few weeks or months. He's following the Putin/Orban/Erdogan playbook.

Did MTG just call the Pope “evil”?

Hey @uschamber.bsky.social No one is going to travel here. Good job, Republicans. We can’t really afford to lose billions in tourism… news.azpm.org/p/news-artic...

MAGA is a terrorist organization. ICE is a secret police force. CECOT is a concentration camp. Mass deportations without due process are ethnic cleansing. Elon Musk is an oligarch. Trump is a foreign-backed coup d'état figurehead, and a hostile regime currently occupies our country's government.

JD Vance destroyed the college football national championship trophy and killed the pope in the same week.

Just announced: University of Michigan Faculty Senate resoundingly votes to support Big Ten academic mutual defense compact. 92.8% of over 3,000 votes.

Sir, a second SignalGate has hit Pete Hegseth.

Staple this to RFK Jr’s forehead.

Media: Joe Biden, we demand you have a granular level of knowledge about every domestic & foreign policy issue confronting our nation Also Media: Sir, your mastery of public policy is astounding even though you're just reading off a piece of paper and clearly have no idea what you're talking about

And just as a reminder, the Obama-era IRS "scandal" the right was so enraged about here was the agency simply questioning whether explicitly partisan Tea Party organizations were eligible for a specific tax-exempt status that, by law, forbade the recipients from engaging in partisan politics.

Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Senator Van Hollen is a hero.
