Trump isn’t taking his losses well tonight. Instead of throwing ketchup, he started pardoning gang members, murderers, and convicted felons. Guess he didn’t want to taco ’bout it.

The persistent claim is that there are so-called "able-bodied" people on Medicaid, and that this is a mistake (they “should never have been on the program”), or worse, “fraud”. This is a mischaracterization of the goals of the current Medicaid program open.substack.com/pub/timothym...

@ologies.bsky.social I’m 10 minutes into part 1, and as it IS April after all, my head will 100% explode if this ep doesn’t take a hard turn toward acknowledging Occupational Therapy . . . This is *exactly* our jam.

Trump ends promising cancer research. USA! USA! “Two patients’ treatments using the experimental therapy had to be delayed because NIH’s capacity to make personalized cell therapies has been slowed by the firing of highly skilled staff..." www.washingtonpost.com/science/2025...

“Power without love is reckless and abusive, and love without power is sentimental and anemic. Power at its best is love implementing the demands of justice, and justice at its best is power correcting everything that stands against love.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Any traders with inside information that Trump was going to walk back his tariffs — some of them, presumably, Trump family members and cronies — just made a fortune. It all feels like chaos until you look more closely at who is winning.

What’s the most outdated tenet of American politics you can think of? I’ll start: not taxing churches. This is absolute madness in 2025.

GOP Senators voted to cancel Donold’s tariffs on Canada. I almost forgot that Congress could rebuke him if they really wanted to.

When they said they were voting Trump because of inflation, I didn't realize they meant they wanted more of it.

House Republicans on the DOGE committee held a hearing to investigate and defund NPR and PBS. Instead we need to have a hearing to investigate Trump trying to funnel $400 million to Elon Musk's companies then lying about it.

Trump & Musk are: -Lying about Social Security fraud -Making destructive cuts to SSA staffing and phone-based services  -Threatening the security of people's personal information by giving DOGE access to sensitive SSA data Social Security is in crisis entirely due to them.

Dozens more pregnant and postpartum women have died in Texas hospitals since the state banned abortion, our analysis shows. As the maternal mortality rate dropped nationally, it rose in Texas by 33%.

Elon is amplifying a bunch of revisionist history tweets suggesting that Republicans have only ever boycotted brands like peaceful angels, and it's so funny because this video exists:

If the Democrats don’t make an absolute buffet out of this group chat national security scandal, primary each and every one of them. It’s literally on a silver platter.

Swalwell: Hegseth is still the Secretary of Defense? This moron texts out our war plans, putting our soldiers at risk, and he’s not gone? Every one on that chat—they just fire off texts not knowing who is on the chat? They all should be fired if they don’t resign.

Buttigieg: What if this had, in fact, gone to somebody else? I mean, somebody who could plausibly be in some of these people's cell phones. I don't know, the Chinese ambassador or Russian negotiator. And the other question on my mind is how many other times has something like this happened?

Buttigieg: Nobody in Elon Musk's family is at risk from the kinds of economic or security harms that are going on here. They think all of this is a joke or a game because these are incredibly rich, powerful men who, frankly, don't have to worry about the kinds of things most Americans do.

The Dems I want to see are the angry ones. I’m not sure “build a bigger tent” is at all what I want going forward. Party split followed by coalition-building, maybe.

"Did Trump just defy a court order?" YES, motherfuckers. Why in the fuck is that so hard for people to say? The judge told him to stop doing something, he did it anyway, IN DEFIANCE OF THE JUDGES RULINGS! WHY ARE PEOPLE COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING FASCISM IN THE PASSIVE VOICE????

Trump’s team is already saying they will not spend funds that Congress has authorized and appropriated.  There is no point in Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds. Call your Senator: (202) 224-3121

If Elon makes it so seniors and disabled Americans can't talk to a real person over the phone, he is cutting off untold numbers of Americans from getting the benefits they have paid into their entire careers. That IS a benefit cut to Social Security—endorsed by Republicans.
