*BEEP* "Hello, you have reached the US military. We can't deploy to the Middle East right now, we're busy standing around in Los Angeles and marching in DC parades for Mad King Donald. Please leave a message for our unqualified alcoholic rapist Secretary of Defense and he might get back to you."

This country is unrecognizable and run by corrupt, incompetent, racist bootlicking Republicans. The president is both unhinged and unfit to lead. If we don’t stop this authoritarian regime, America is doomed. Don’t let them win ~ speak out against this tyrannical insanity. NO KINGS in AMERICA‼️

I agree with Karoline Leavitt that ABC News needs to issue an apology. I disagree on its recipient. ABC News needs to apologize to Terry Moran and make clear to him that his tweet was journalistically in-bounds—supported by years of public evidence—and he should never have been suspended.

BREAKING NEWS: a clearly physically impaired Trump struggles to ascend Air Force One big stairs! What are they hiding about the President’s health?

NPR and the PBS series Frontline investigate the forces keeping communities from building resiliently, and the special interests that profit even when communities don't.

🎯 You DO NOT have to answer questions. Record any interaction!!! Protect yourself.

Notable clip today👇 in light of the news that the Trump administration successfully pressured ABC into suspending Moran

NPR is suing Trump. Why? Because he slashed their funding just for doing their job—which is political retaliation. He’s trying to silence public media because they don’t bow down to his ego. News flash: the First Amendment doesn’t disappear just because you don’t like the coverage, Donnie.

HUD and state officials, attorneys and advocates describe a dismantling of federal fair housing enforcement efforts, with every step of the work of fighting discrimination slowed, constrained or halted entirely.

Jeffries: There are three big issues with the bill 1. It represents the largest cut to healthcare in American history. 2. It represents the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history. 3. All of this is being done to enact the largest tax break for billionaires in American history.

Federal judge dresses down Alina Habba: "Your role is not to secure convictions at all costs, nor to satisfy public clamor, nor to advance political agendas. Your allegiance is to the impartial application of the law, to the pursuit of truth and to the upholding of due process for all."

Sen. Rosen to Rubio: "I'm not even mad anymore about your complicity in this administration's destruction of U.S. global leadership. I'm simply disappointed. I wonder if you're proud of yourself in this moment when you go home to your family?"

Do be careful as you contact media whether you’re a fed or recently took DRP / VERA … check the language in your contract. Not an endorsement, just glad to see ProPublica giving folks a voice in a secure manner.

Don't let up. Hold their feet to the fire. (DoJ: I do not mean to literally light feet on fire.)

Chris Van Hollen to Marco Rubio: You've made a mockery of our country's refugee process, turning it into a system of global apartheid, where political ideology and race more than truth or need matter.

BREAKING: AOC just what off on Tom Homan and Kristi Noem when defending the Democrats, who protested at the New Jersey ICE facility.

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

Such an important point from Doug Jones: “Deportation in American law allows for the ability to contest the arrest… That’s not what we’re seeing when college students are getting yanked off the streets…are sent—in violation of court orders to a prison in a foreign country. That is not deportation.”

Arizona has so far indicted more than 100 individuals involved in the Medicaid fraud scheme and recouped $125 million — just 5% of the funds the state estimates it paid to bad actors. By @jasminedemers.bsky.social, with @azcir.org

House Republicans are now targeting federal workers’ retirement benefits to help fund their massive tax cuts. Last week, the House Oversight Committee approved a plan to slash $50 billion from the retirement system over the next decade by changing

Trump reportedly prepared to accept ‘palace in the sky’ as gift from Qatar

I am lucky to have so many amazing mothers in my life. My mom, a fighter who raised a family full of fighters and always believed in US. And still the kindest person I know. And Dawn. My best friend, my greatest defender, and the most amazing mother to our children. youtube.com/shorts/XpOUI...

Networks must be more cautious when reporting Trump’s so-called “deals.” His announcements often follow a familiar, deceptive pattern: declare a major breakthrough, only for the details to later reveal that nothing has actually changed. 1/

Salt Lake City and Boise are setting the example for making good trouble. 😏🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

“Political culture imagines that the Supreme Court safeguards the Constitution, when in reality it is chipping away at the constitutional rights of historically marginalized groups. The court is allowing feelings and politics to trump the law and sometimes just be the law.”

Tariffs are crippling America's economy. We are on the verge of a possible supply chain crisis, but House Republicans refuse to stop it. I'm running for Congress because we need leaders who are willing to lower, not raise, costs. www.politico.com/live-updates...

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Alabama's 2023 congressional map discriminates against Black voters in violation of the Voting Rights Act and Constitution. This is a win for voting rights.

The Vatican matters beyond Catholicism for a very simple reason; the regressive movements that boost Trump & other nationalist oligarchs are filled by self-described Christian (protestant and catholic) entities with doomsday agendas that influence our politics and governance.

The Trump administration has apparently deported two U.S. citizen children—ages 5 and 4—after luring their mother to an immigration appointment. She does not appear to have been informed of her options, Grassroots Leadership said.

If you're protesting this May Day, know your rights.

Since we always try to advertise nationwide protests, here's some good info from the ACLU:

For Mother Jones, Isabela Dias and I interviewed 6 Venezuelans who were accused without evidence of being gang members, loaded onto a bus at a Texas detention center on April 18, and likely nearly sent to El Salvador without due process. A thread on Stiven Prieto, one of the men targeted by ICE.

NEW: VoteVets Action Fund will host a town hall with Pete Buttigieg in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It will be an opportunity for Iowans - including Veterans and Military Families - to come together to discuss the recent wave of policy decisions that have negatively impacted Americans.

"Spare us the whataboutism. Don’t reach for false equivalence. America is objectively worse off than we were 100 days ago. The blame should be placed directly at Trump’s feet and those of his apologists and enablers."
