Weather and climate research funds are being “chainsawed” from NOAA's budget. Last I checked, Louisiana & Florida, which are maximally susceptible to Hurricanes, voted Red in the last General Election. Wondering if residents there knew in advance this would happen.

A man who holds the title of President of the United States, who took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution, who then says he doesn’t know if he’d uphold the Constitution, is unfit to be president and should be removed.

Bringing the heat

El Salvador didn't have a problem returning deportees a few weeks ago.

I cannot convey enough how grateful I am to the millions of you all supporting us with your time, resources, and energy. Your support has allowed us to rally people together at record scale to organize their communities. All with an average donation of $21. THANK YOU & Pa’lante 🙏🏽♥️

Without Social Security, 1 in 3 Americans would end their lives in poverty. We’re not going to let Republicans rob seniors of their earned retirement and leave you on the side of the road. Hands off!

Here's the webpage put up by the office of Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes for people to notify her office if they're havig problems dealing with Social Security. Every state AG's office could do this. Might help. www.azag.gov/socialsecurity

"Tesla’s stock is down 22% in the past four trading sessions and 45% for the year. Tesla has lost more than $585 billion in value since the calendar turned, equaling tens of billions of dollars in paper losses for Musk..." www.cnbc.com/2025/04/08/e...

Trump bears the bulk of the blame for the unprecedented global economic crisis now unfolding. But let’s not ignore the role played by the hideously bad judgment of the business and financial leaders who supported Trump and didn’t realize this was an inevitable outcome.

IRS lawyers advise that what Trump wants to do with private tax information is likely illegal. They do it anyway. IRS commissioner resigns (3rd one gone in 3 months). Hello courts: your turn. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

"Federal law tightly controls taxpayer information, protecting home addresses, earnings and other data from disclosure even to other government agencies." www.nytimes.com/live/2025/04...

Trump has cut the part of the FDA that notifies doctors and the public when there is a safety problem with a drug or a medical device. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

White House threatens to VETO the new Grassley/Cantwell bill to require Congress’s approval to impose tariffs. This affirms that it will effectively require two-thirds of the House and Senate to limit (or undo) President Trump’s moves on tariffs.

A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.

I don’t see how, unless our entire profession stands shoulder-to-shoulder in unity, we successfully push back against this effort to break our profession and our democracy. Cowering & compromising won’t work. He is attacking us for the success of our work. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

tRump’s relentless attack on free speech is a dark reminder of McCarthyism, where dissent is crushed under the weight of intimidation. Will we stand by as our rights are stripped away, or will we fight back against this authoritarian nightmare? www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Ummm… guys…

Anyone have any idea how many students loan holders this impacts ? www.kvue.com/article/news...

BRENNAN: A woman was sent to a man's prison and El Salvador said no. WALTZ: Heh. Okay. BRENNAN: It's a question of if you're suspending the ability to have a day in court, you get the list right. WALTZ: Look, every one of them was here illegally.

“Elias Law Group will not be deterred from fighting for democracy in court. There will be no negotiation with this White House about the clients we represent or the lawsuits we bring on their behalf."

❤️BREAKING❤️ - Bernie Sanders before 20k People in Tucson: "They have the wealth. They have all the money in the world. They have the power. They have the media. But you know what they don’t have? We’ve got 20,000 people here in Tucson and we got 100's of millions of people all across this country."

Trump doesn’t apologize for anything. Now he’s threatening retaliation if our governor doesn’t bend the knee.   A President cannot deny a state funds appropriated by Congress just because he doesn’t agree with our policies. That’s illegal. He certainly can’t demand an apology.   This is so absurd.

BREAKING: Democrats held a record breaking rally in Arizona, drawing more than 23,000 people, the Trump Administration trusts Putin and takes him at his word, and horrifying conditions at detention centers have been exposed. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

There's a reason why they're freaking out over what's happening to Tesla. It's working. There's a reason they're threatening absurd consequences. They need to scare you back into civility and compliance. As long as we're reluctant to cross the lines they ignore daily, they have the upper hand.

This is what we’ve come to, and so quickly.

My maternal grandmother died in the 1918 flu pandemic. RFK Jr can go fuck himself.

AOC: We need to be taxing the rich on the floor of the Congress We need to be establishing guaranteed healthcare on the floor of the Congress We need to be passing a living wage on the floor of the Congress

It never got a lot of attention, but Aber put a WHOLE LOT of child predators w/ties to law enforcement in prison. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/f...

oh i think this is exactly right. people care about your views but they ALSO care about whether you seem real and authentic

At the Mike Lawler empty chair town hall in Peekskill, 102 year old Dee in danger of losing her Medicaid, heard FDR on the radio in 1935 when he created Social Security. @indivisible.org

every person involved in this needs to be in prison

Are there any Dems in Utah who can stand up for the good folks in Ogden ? Their town could soon face their own Great Recession

If a law firm won't risk everything to defend itself, what makes you think it will risk anything to defend you? My advice: Find a law firm that will not back down and will never bend a knee.

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

BREAKING: 34,000 people have showed up in Denver, Colorado this evening to see Bernie Sanders and AOC fight oligarchy and authoritarianism.

I’m tellin ya. It’s AOC. 34,000 people today in Denver.

This is the most dangerous and stupid moves of them all to date.

Does this impact any Republican districts in Maine ? If so, Ask that representative why he is putting Trump ahead of his district ! Canadians to Maine: No, thanks! www.cnn.com/2025/03/20/t...

I recorded a special episode of my Bulwark podcast with @timmiller.bsky.social this morning to discuss Paul, Weiss’s appalling capitulation to the First Extortionist of the United States. I didn’t mince words. Link below. @thebulwark.bsky.social

The MAGA faux outrage about @therickwilson.bsky.social's Substack article won't change the truth: Tesla's in a tailspin, Musk is a moron, and DOGE is a disaster. Rick has nothing to do with that. Volume up to hear Rick on TMZ this week.

Weingarten: If you think this is unprecedented. You’re not crazy. It is. It is. We have never faced the kind of assault on people that has happened in the last 60 plus days.

Wrote a little something about Selma ... www.joyannreid.com/p/video-diar...

Great question! Too early to tell. But in 2 yrs we will be hearing more
