Pete Hegseth is obsessed with the keeping media from discovering his bumbling incompetence. His solution to that is a new order seeking to deny press access to DOD and hunt down employees talking to the media. The Pentagon Press Assn is fighting back. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Holy cow! Who knew that there were so many big elections happening THIS MONTH?! @taniel.bsky.social and @burness.bsky.social have compiled a must-read, in-depth list of May's 25 biggest elections. From specials to primaries to ballot measures, it's all here: boltsmag.org/whats-on-the...

With all the talk of product shortages , I think it should be said that products will first find their way to densely populated areas first and everywhere else, last This certainly will hurt all those red counties. How they react to their shelves being everything will define the midterms

Big yikes

Harvard Law professor Michael Klarman gave an inspiring lecture about the need for lawyers to protect democracy. I was honored that he noted the attacks and threats aimed at me. His words serve to steel my spine and make me more committed than ever to fighting for democracy. Thank you professor.🙏

It's been widely reported that JD Vance fumbled the Ohio State Championship trophy yesterday at the White House (see below if you missed it) What hasn't been reported as widely: Trump called OSU quarterback Will Howard "Tennessee Quarterback Will Howard" Trump is losing his sh¡t

In a filing Wednesday evening, Jefferson Griffin — the Republican candidate seeking to overturn the North Carolina Supreme Court 2024 election results — asked the state appeals court to disenfranchise more voters by expanding the number of ballots included in the state’s cure process.

🚨🚨Please share this far and wide to make sure everyone from NC sees this. Don’t let the GOP steal this election that Riggs rightfully won!

North Carolina voters, check The Griffin List! Over 65,000 ballots are at risk thanks to a court ruling favoring Jefferson Griffin. It targets young voters & could eliminate thousands of legit ballots. He’s going after people who followed the rules. Check your info. Fight back for your rights!

Social Security is sacred in that you put your money in (without a choice) with the promise to collect when you retire. They’re literally stealing your money. They claim that solvency is an issue, but had the GOP not robbed SS funds, we wouldn’t have any issues. meetbeagle.com/resources/po...

This isn’t hypothetical. Let’s look at how Trump’s steel tariffs in 2018 affected the industry. Factories closed as downstream industries—like auto and construction—faced higher costs, losing $3.5B in output. 1/

Important point here: they are not firing public officials to save money - personnel costs are relatively minor - they want to kneecap capacity so that these agencies struggle to spend money. Its a back door impoundment.

Fair question.

There is now reporting that the Department of Homeland Security has deported the wrong person due to “administrative error.” This is a massive violation of people’s rights and due process. Must be fixed.

"When he said, 'I have the highest poll numbers of any Republican for the last 100 years,' that wasn’t just wrong, it was the opposite of reality: At this point in their terms, every other GOP president since the dawn of modern polling has had more support than him." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Cory Booker. 👇👇👇

Do you know who laid the foundation for the FDA? President Theodore Roosevelt. Do you know why? Because he read a great piece of literature that exposed the mistreatment of immigrant workers and the disgusting, unsanitary practices in meatpacking plants… The book is called “The Jungle.”

@booker.senate.gov made history yesterday. He made genuinely “good trouble.” During his brilliant record-breaking filibuster, he asked “Where does the Constitution live, on paper or in our hearts?” All of us are called in our own way to answer that question by our actions, not just our words.

My advice is if your law firm can't say this, get yourself a new law firm. "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."

But his (g)mails….

Elon Musk is _ten_ George Soroses. Consistently. Every election, now. And MAGAs screeched—in every space, online and off, they could access—that _one_ George Soros was a destroyer of democracy. So what is Elon Musk?

BREAKING: Susan Crawford has WON the Wisconsin state Supreme Court race!!

A parent choosing not to vaccinate does not put only their child at risk for vaccine-preventable disease. They also risk the health of: 1. Infants too young to be vaccinated; 2. People with conditions that preclude vaccination or render them immunocompromised; 3. Herd immunity for all of us.

The decision to detain migrants at Guantanamo has cost $40 million so far: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/u...

"Roberts’s immunity ruling not only gutted Smith’s case against Trump, it also sent a clear message: If Trump won the election, he could freely engage in even more egregious crimes. As later events would demonstrate, Trump got the message loud and clear." — @davidrlurie.bsky.social

FDA Commissioner Marty Makary agreed to oust the agency's top vaccine official shortly after being quietly sworn in late last week.

1. The Social Security Administration and DOGE are GASLIGHTING AMERICANS. They are telling millions of beneficiaries that reports they were closing SSA field offices were fake news. Actually, these closures were PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED and LEASES WERE CANCELED. 🧵

Who could’ve foreseen

The Trump Depression was entirely avoidable.

As of Friday, there have been 46 cases in which federal judges have blocked Trump policies. The rulings in those cases have come from 39 different judges appointed by 5 different presidents (of both parties) to 11 different district courts across 7 different circuits. Maybe it's not the judges?

Do NOT drop this story. Keep hitting it hard. They could have killed our pilots.

Well, they lied. Obviously.

Wisconsin residents are receiving text messages from a (202) D.C. area code, falsely urging them not to vote in the upcoming election. These messages are not legitimate.

Castro: "The idea that this information, if it was presented to our committee, would not be classified, you all know is a lie. That's ridiculous."

ABC News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CBS News: "An unthinkable breach of national security." MSNBC: "An unthinkable breach of national security." CNN: "An unthinkable breach of national security." Fox News: "We've all texted the wrong person before."

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

Crockett: "The idea that you want to shut down everybody that is not Fox News is bullshit. We need to stop playing."
