🇺🇸 “Rolling Stone reached out to all 53 GOP senators after the president said he didn't know whether he needs to honor the nation's founding document. None replied.” www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

No matter how many times we say Fox News isn’t real news, it doesn’t matter—because their viewers believe it is. Watch: It shows exactly how they’re screwing all of us—you & me—because we’re stuck dealing with people who fall for disinformation. And their own viewers, because they believe the lies.

I’m calling on Secretary Kennedy to resign. We are sick of it. He must go!

We received some really great news this week in the case against Donald Trump's scheme to add a proof of citizenship requirement on a federal registration form. I hope you watch and enjoy. youtu.be/ZHMuv3o7Ejw

I am struggling to understand why, when as the Deputy Attorney General acknowledged, it is not appropriate to comment on a pending criminal investigation, it is ok to disparage Newark’s mayor, who now faces charges under a federal criminal complaint, on national TV. 1/

“The notion that I or any of my colleagues ‘body slammed’ armed federal officers is absurd. DHS is lying because they know their agents were out of line.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Tell the GOP HANDS OFF ✋🚫 our public lands!

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

The arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is a warning sign of just how far Trump and his allies are willing to go to silence dissent. This is not normal. It’s authoritarian behavior, plain and simple.

HAPPENING NOW: Hundreds of protesters chant “Free our Mayor!” outside the DHS building in Newark, NJ where Mayor Ras Baraka is being held (Video: @spydermonkeywatch.bsky.social)

Rümeysa Öztürk has been freed!!

Republicans worried about losing their slim House majority next year are struggling with how to achieve Medicaid savings as even more Americans rely on the program.

Let's work on a durable anti-MAGA majority for Virginia. @SisterDistrictDMV is a great place to start

Chicago is on to something.

NEW: Gavin Kliger, one of Elon Musk’s young DOGE delinquents who helped the Trump regime carry out mass firings at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), owns stock in companies that could benefit from the agency’s dismantling. Not only does this constitute a conflict of interest,…

I would love to see MTG run statewide. Do it, girl. 😂

WTF NYT

🚨BREAKING: In a victory for voters, a federal court has halted Republican Judge Jefferson Griffin’s efforts to overturn an election and disenfranchise thousands of voters. A federal judge has ordered the state to certify Democratic Justice Allison Riggs’ victory.

20 state attorneys general sue the Trump administration over its mass firings and the dismantling of agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services.

Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

WELKER: Your secretary of state says everyone who's here, citizens and non-citizens, deserve due process. Do you agree? TRUMP: I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know. WELKER: Don't you need to uphold the Constitution? TRUMP: I don't know

WELKER: When does it become the Trump economy? TRUMP: The good parts are the Trump economy, and the bad parts are the Biden economy.

We said we’d fight Trump’s attacks on our rights at every turn, and we meant it. 100 days in and over 110 legal actions under our belt, we’re just getting started.

At least everyone can agree on today’s lede. 🤡

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

"One NATO official, when asked for a reaction to the plan, replied, 'Did Putin write this for him?'...” www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Courts delivered a major win for Pennsylvania voters on Friday by ruling that mail-in ballots cannot be rejected for some minor errors and rejecting a far-right lawsuit to purge over 277,000 voters from the rolls. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump poses as the Pope in full holy garments and gets a pass. Obama puts on a tan suit and they lose their frigging minds. See how that works?

•THE TRUMP REGIME’S CRUSHING DEFEAT• On Thursday, the Trump regime suffered its biggest court loss yet. U.S. District Judge Fernando Rodriguez Jr. of the Southern District of Texas — a Trump nominee with a reputation as a strict, ultra-conservative judge — found that…

Imagine if YOUR wife, sister or daughter was detained immediately after giving birth & isolated from her baby, her family, her lawyer & friends. She was held incommunicado. 𝗧𝗔𝗞𝗘𝗡 𝗙𝗥𝗢𝗠 𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗕𝗔𝗕𝗬! This regime is lawless. They are soulless. They are brutal. They are Nazis. www.kold.com/2025/05/03/g...

And there you have it.

#MayDay Syracuse

Trump promised to drain the swamp. Instead, he filled it with oil execs, NRA lobbyists, and insurance CEOs. They get tax breaks. We get higher costs, health care we can’t afford, and more gun violence.

Trump is about to foreclose on the homes of 90,000 Veterans. www.rawstory.com/trump-vetera...

The #MayDay crowd in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, in front of Republican Representative Brian Fitzpatrick's office, was tremendous! 350 at our headcount! So many people came out to support the immigrants and union workers in our community, and to demand due process for all!

The Fuhrer wants a Nuremberg style parade on his birthday.
