Must’ve cost big bucks to pay millions of people in 1,100 cities.

Great showing at Missoula's Hands Off rally today! It was an honor to get to speak briefly, and to introduce the folks doing amazing work on the ground here in Missoula.

frankly, I'm shocked that the guy who went broke running casinos would turn out to be shit at running an economy

the Dunkin’ logo has never felt more accurate

Dear all foreign friends outside the United States, Our country is big. Like really big. Like so much bigger than you ken. Our states are bigger than many countries, and there's 50 of them. So when you wonder why we are not all marching on DC I live 2,500 miles (4000 km) from the White House

Gosh. If only there were an historical analogue we could study to learn about the horrors of rounding people up without due process and sending them to torture camps in other countries.

The reason that the US is locking up tourists for weeks in hellish detention centers rather than letting them book tickets back home is because the detention centers are owned by corporations. They are charging the taxpayers fortunes to cage these people, and making bonanzas off their suffering.

Come to the United States, where you’ll be kidnapped in broad daylight because you wrote an op-ed.

So much winning!! 🤣🤣 Today, down 7.65%

Sen. Tammy Duckworth calls on Pete Hegseth to resign: "Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could've gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately."

"The freedom to criticize judges and other public officials is necessary to a vibrant democracy. The problem comes when healthy criticism is replaced with more destructive intimidation and sanctions." -- Sandra Day O'Connor, born #OTD 1930 apnews.com/article/dona...

If you're angry at Jeffrey Goldberg or the Atlantic today, you're a sh*tty American.

Democratic House Rep. Ro Khanna: “GOP reps are attacking me for holding town halls in their districts. Maybe if they spent more time doing their job and talking to constituents, I wouldn't have to.” 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Let it begin.

What was dumber: including a journalist on a signal chat about your bomb plans or then calling that journalist “bottom scum” while he still had the screenshots available to publish as your colleagues were already committing perjury

There are RULES for gov’t documents—who has them, sees them, keeps them, where they’re kept—because they’re a record of gov’t business. Not open to all—but containing the doings & ACCOUNTABILITY of what our gov’t does. The Nat’l Archives stores much of that vital data. DJT fired the archivist.

Not to be a wide-eyed naïf about such things but... am I right in thinking that they levelled an entire building to get to one guy and *that* is not controversial to anyone in the American media or political class, only that this information was recklessly shared in an unsecured chat?

NEW: @motherjones.com reports that one of the men renditioned to El Salvador is Neri Alvarado, who was working in Dallas as a baker. An ICE agent told him they were questioning all men with tattoos. Neri has an AUTISM AWARENESS TATTOO in honor of his 15-year-old brother with autism.

This will make you smile because, lord knows, we need it right now.

anyway calling these "war plans" when they were actually plans to blow up an apartment building full of civilians because the girlfriend of a guy we don't like lived there sounds more like "terrorism plans" or perhaps even more accurately "terrorism factory creation plans"

Why do they hate Europe asks @mrjamesob.bsky.social Culture, comprehension, intelligence, better food, generally successful multiculturalism All of the things they exploit for power and authority, we have a better handhold of here Their egos cannot handle there are better ways than their way

Senator Lisa Murkowski's statement:

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..

Pete Hegseth is a danger to this country and our men and women in uniform.

If an Army private accidentally texted the details of a classified military operation to a reporter, let alone transmitted any classified information to anyone who was unauthorized over an unsecured device, they’d be charged and likely spend time in Leavenworth. But it’s Hegseth, so probably not.

In case you want some sweet news today. I’m volunteering at the book fair at my kid’s school, and discovered Dav Pilkey paid for the whole thing. For the entire school. Every kid pre-k through fifth grade (the whole school) goes home with two free books.

Please welcome PRESIDENT @barackobama.bsky.social to BlueSky,,, working in my Flaverification,,,

George Clooney, "We now are at a place where we've found that it's harder and harder to discern the truth" "Facts are negotiated" "We're seeing this idea of using government to scare or fine or use corporations to make journalists smaller" "I was raised to tell the truth"

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

This explains MAGA:

I’m a transgender writer. I’m not your punching bag. Not your project. Not your scapegoat. Not your villain. I’ve survived worse than your pearl clutching outrage—and I’m still loud, proud and here to stay. My existence is not up for debate.

It's always wrong to vandalize personal property and that certainly includes Teslas, and also: your government is actively disappearing innocent people without due process, so, you know, that second one is taking up my empathetic bandwidth at the moment.

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.

Warnock: They are busy attacking ordinary people. They don’t understand what it’s like to ration your prescription drugs or what it’s like to try to figure out how to afford groceries. In the words of that prophet who just spoke at The Super Bowl: They not like us

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

What do you call humans being kidnapped and sent to another country to be imprisoned in shackles and forced to perform intense physical labor while living in horrid conditions under the threat of daily physical violence and rape? Open a history book. You can do it. I believe in you.
