Gov. Walz: “I’m just going to say it, shame on any of us who throws a trans child under the bus for thinking they’re going to get elected.” www.startribune.com/gov-tim-walz...

that's right

This is the correct response to this fascist incitement: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It's important to challenge this in the courts. It's also important to understand that Trump engages in performative behavior when he wants you to ignore something else he's doing. Don't look away.

Breaking news: The Trump administration announced a ban on travelers to the U.S. from Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. The ban takes effect June 9.

NEW: Trump has ordered an investigation into whether Biden aides concealed a decline in the former president's mental acuity.

Were they eating cats and dogs? No? Then shutdafuckup.

We’ll keep saying it: the Jewish community’s legitimate fears and concerns should not exploited to undermine core democratic norms, or otherwise advance discriminatory & unconstitutional policies. Doing so only makes Jews - and all communities - less safe.

This is such good news! Now let's see how the government responds. Or fails to.

Mike Lindell has been gagged.

Mike Lindell appears to have a lawyer just as smart as his client. "It's just words" is *not* a defense in an action for speaking [defamatory] words.

BREAKING: Chief Judge James Boasberg finds that those people sent to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act on March 15-16 had their due process rights violates and certifies them as a class. He orders that the government "facilitate" the ability for them to seek habeas relief.

Sen. Susan Collins is concerned about several provisions in the White House’s $9.4 billion rescission package. “The PEPFAR cuts make no sense to me whatsoever, given the extraordinary record of PEPFAR in saving lives,” Collins tells @frankthorp.bsky.social. “So I have a lot of concerns.”

The opening of Judge Boasberg’s opinion:

The US Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, seemingly does not know about the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre or Ruby Bridges: “I will look into it and get back to you.”

On left: Supreme Court: Questions of statutory interpretation of Alien Enemies Act are subject to judicial review Middle: SCOTUS dissent: We all agree 9-0 (ALL federal judges have agreed on this.) Right: Monday, Judge John Holcomb: No court should interpret AEA; POTUS decides what it means.

President Chicken. 🔊

Comparing 2 evils ICE vs Gestapo *Power to arrest w/o warrant *Power to imprison w/o trial *Power to deport *No Habeus Corpus *No Gov't oversight *Concentration camps I don't see any difference

A glimmer of good news. The reality is she never should have been put through this ordeal in the first place. Glad all of the public support for her resulted in a reprieve from what would have been a deadly deportation. Praying for her health and healing.

Columbia completely caved and are getting their accreditation pulled anyways. Anybody that doesn't go nuclear on these people when they even sniff at you is nuts. *COLUMBIA NO LONGER MEETS ACCREDITATION STANDARDS, US SAYS

POCAN: Just tell me coincidence or not. In Project 2025, abolishing the Dept of Education. You guys are doing. Is that a coincidence? VOUGHT: The president's agend-- POCAN: Ending DEI? VOUGHT: The president-- POCAN: Shifting FEMA costs to the states? Ending PBS and NPR? Banning trans people?

Guess who is going to pay for the tariffs?

As the rocker invited the president to find common ground, he pointed out one big exception.

“.. I work in Toys and we had about 600 price changes in the last couple days... EVERYTHING went up," one user posted last week. “It's f***ing crazy." @the-independent.com $WMT $TGT www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Cole Schmidtknecht, 22, had insurance but couldn’t afford to refill his asthma inhaler after the cost jumped from $70 to more than $500. Five days after his pharmacy visit last year, Cole had a severe asthma attack and died. nbcnews.to/4mM9cGV

Moskowitz: "Nothing has been made more efficient. Here are the wins for congressional Rs. You ready? They're gonna do a $9b recession bill. They're gonna get rid of Elmo, which the American people were clamoring for, but they're gonna add $2.4t for the debt. And then they want us to cheer for them."

Senate Finance Republicans are meeting at the White House on Trump’s mega-bill at a crucial time. CBO says it’d add $2.4T to the debt and Elon Musk’s criticism has emboldened spending hawks. Rs can spare 3 votes in Senate & House. THUNE: Trump must be the “closer.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

THIS!!!🔥

Creating a world free of bigotry, where everyone — no matter their sexual orientation — can live and love as their true selves is something I have fought for since I was Mayor of Burlington. Happy Pride month to everyone in the LGBTQ community.

Cruelty is the point!

DOGE brought nothing but chaos, inefficiency and destruction — wreaking havoc at vital government services and weakening our influence around the world. Now Trump wants to cement some of those harmful cuts into law. We must fight this.
