If you know anyone who still supports this rambling loon, play this audio for them and then ask them to guess the event he’s speaking at.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics.  Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid family leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

Great point 👇

Musk’s team was caught using a customized version of the Grok chatbot, without approval, to sift through sensitive government data inside the Department of Homeland Security. They used a modified version in an attempt to hide the fact that they were doing it.

In my worst nightmares the teenagers at DOGE take over the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and, yup, here we are.

"Is that it?" -- Trump did that thing again today where he signs a bunch of executive orders but doesn't seem to know what he's signing and needs to have it explained to him

like this would be party-collapsing if Democrats were in power it's just fucking maddening Republicans get to be unconscionable monsters and it's just baked in

The cognitive dissonance just entered the confessional.

When Trump came along the GOP finally figured out how stupid most of its voters were and now they can offer up cartoon character sentiments like ‘The Closer’ and rake in billions in crypto scams while d*ckheads like Howard Lutnick & Elon Musk steal their futures. It’s pathetic.

NEW: The rate of sepsis in Houston surged 63% after Texas banned abortion. In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, where hospital leaders empowered doctors to intervene before patients’ conditions worsened, it rose just 29%.

The Qatar Economic Forum is hosting a public session on how to make money off of Trump’s bribery and corruption schemes. This is where we are.

ALERT: I had not seen this article until this morning. It is a pretty big deal. Mike Waltz isn’t actually using Signal. He’s using a copy or third party version of Signal created by a company called TeleMessage the point of which is to allow archiving of messages. The app claims to preserve …

The Republican Party is not a political movement – it's a criminal enterprise.

This is impoundment, it is illegal, and that should be in the headline www.npr.org/2025/05/02/n...

The 2025 world press freedom index was just released The US is ranked 57. The report is clear: An “alarming deterioration of press freedom”. Weaponising institutions, cutting support for media, sidelining reporters. rsf.org/en/rsf-world...

A lot of very distinguished people who swore an oath to preserve the Constitution are watching it get cut to pieces.

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Holy crap. Here are 91 pages of letters that 14 House Democrats just sent to the nine law firms that have paid off Trump to not attack them. Lots of Qs aimed at sorting out if they violated federal bribery/anti-fraud/racketeering laws. min.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

This is wild: Trump is offering visits to the White House to people who invest in his bullshit crypto scheme. It is pay-for-influence in the most naked possible way. Just because the corruption is out in the open and unhidden doesn't mean it's not corruption.

This is insane and everyone involved needs to be sued into oblivion and then go directly to jail

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Newsom: In 2023, Californians contributed $83.1 billion more to the federal government than we received back. And for your viewers: that other state—Texas—took $71.1 billion more than it contributed to the federal government. California: $83 billion, contributor. Texas: taker.

Donald Trump ordered the Department of Justice to investigate the leading platform through which Democrats raise money for their campaigns. Less that 100 days in, Trump is weaponizing DOJ to prevent his political opponents from funding opposition campaigns. Where is the outrage?

Pete Hegseth had an internet connection that bypassed the Pentagon’s security protocols set up in his office to use the Signal messaging app on a personal computer, AP reports

Reuters poll: Trump approval 37% approve 57% disapprove U.S. adults

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

“The Pentagon is in ‘total chaos’ and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is unlikely to remain in his role, according to its former top spokesperson, who painted a scene of dysfunction, backstabbing and continuous missteps at the highest levels of the department.”

So I finally read the ACOTAR series and man am I disappointed! If this is the best Romantacy has then what are y’all going on about? #booksky 🙈

Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski says the quiet part out loud: “We are all afraid… I am oftentimes very anxious about using my voice because retaliation is real.”

The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

If the Supreme Court decides that the government can "erroneously" disappear you off the street to a foreign torture prison, and that federal courts have no power to do anything about it, that is, in a meaningful way, Pretty Much It www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/24...

so... is there a market threshold that will actually get Republicans to step in? it's not 10%, it won't be 15% what about 40%? 50%? is there any answer to this question at all? my instincts say there isn't, but we're really in unprecedented territory here
