I joined Inside with Jen Psaki last night to talk about the attack on Governor Shapiro’s family. This is personal for me: I started my career investigating hate crimes and antisemitism and faced threats of political violence in my own career. But we can’t back down in the face of threats.

Happy Easter to those across Michigan celebrating today! 🐣 Wishing everyone a joyful time with friends and family.

I’m running to be the next Governor of Michigan to ensure everyone gets a fair shot. I'm a mom, military spouse, marathoner, educator — and Michigan’s Secretary of State. www.youtube.com/watch?v=02ci...

Just heard someone say, “It’s time to end the Fox News experiment at the Pentagon.” And I’m ☠️

Jessica: There was someone on it who had been picked up as “tren de aragua” because there was a picture of him with a multicolored pistol they were saying was a gun, but it was a toy.

I’m old enough to remember when I took out a full-page ad in the New York Times last fall to publish a letter signed by 225 mental-health professionals saying that Trump’s severe personality disorders made him destructive and dangerous.

Penguins hit back! They impose a 75% tariff on any fish caught in the ocean.

I have no respect for ANY athlete that visits this White House. You are unAmerican if you do so, as is anyone who supports or enables this administration. Let me repeat that. You actions are in *direct* opposition to the Declaration of Independence.

NEW: The EU Commission has proposed 25% counter-tariffs on a range of U.S. imports to take effect May 16.

Watching my 401K drop like a stone, as I’m sure many are, now is a perfect example why Social Security must be protected, and not privatized. It is also a great rebuttal against those who say people should just save on their own and invest in the market. How’d that work out in 1929?

Democrats finally have a viral hit on their hands, see if you can guess why it worked

Holy shit. The United States was not invited to the NATO summit on Ukraine in Paris on March 11. There’s no other meaning: The United States was just benched for colluding with the enemy.

File this under no shit Sherlock: Even JD’s cousin says Trump and Vance are Russia’s useful idiots who are getting played by Putin. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Elon fired hundreds of “unnecessary” Twitter employees and the platform has been down for hours today. Now he’s firing hundreds of “unnecessary” FAA employees. What could go wrong?

Twitter is down. Tesla stock is plummeting. SpaceX’s rocket imploded. All owned by the same guy who’s now in charge of our federal government.

TSLA is down 13% so far today, in case you were wondering whether it was a good idea to put its owner in charge of the US government.

Keep up the good work, Peeps! #TeslaTakedown

Canada’s next prime minister, Mark Carney, used his leadership victory speech to warn Canadians that the U.S. “president” wants to “destroy our way of life.” “America is not Canada. And Canada never, ever, will be part of America in any way, shape or form,” Carney said in his victory…

Crockett: We had an opportunity to have a woman lead this country and I promise you, she would have led us to the promised land. But instead we got somebody that seems like he wants to take to us hell

BREAKING: The S&P 500 has now completely erased all gains since the election, wiping out $3.4 trillion in market value. Make America great again!

Already hearing that Republican members have been showing up to the House floor trying to take up the Dem side seats for the joint address 💀

Anyone have that sinking feeling happening?

Look what's happening at the French Embassy in Washington DC.

When America faltered, others stood up to lead.

America is heading for a recession The Atlanta Fed’s GDPNow model estimates U.S. real GDP growth for Q1 at -2.8%, down from +3.9% just four weeks ago. Great job, MAGA.

The markets are crashing, we can't afford eggs anymore, the economy is shrinking, our allies are abandoning us... But we'll always have the Gulf of America.

@tracyproboski.bsky.social welcome!

Nothing to add here...

A disgraceful day.

NEW: “Kennedy paused a multimillion dollar project to create a new Covid-19 vaccine in pill form on Tuesday, and the Food and Drug Administration canceled an advisory committee meeting on updating next season’s flu vaccine.” newrepublic.com/post/192059/...

If your representative is dodging in-person town halls, call them out! Tag them and demand they face their constituents.

Ready Fire Aim is a lousy way to govern.

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

35% of the US is broken. They have taken the concept of 'American exceptionalism' and run off a cliff with it. They think because of something they are born with like skin color, they are better than those around them. They are not good beings. It is terribly depressing for me and others like me.

Hey everyone! I did an emergency live over on Substack, reminding us all that we will win this thing! Take a look! adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

If you’re wondering why I declined to talk to the NYTimes, then you haven’t been following my account for very long. They bear a direct responsibility for the current situation we find ourselves in, and I responded by laying out my position and that I would only talk to @jamellebouie.net

In future generations, when your children and grandchildren look back on this moment, they are not going to ask about the price of eggs. They are going to ask you what you did. Not what you felt. Not what you paid. But what you did. And I want to be able to say I did everything I possibly could.

This is the most cowardly administration in history.

There are moments in these deportation fights when I can just FEEL how pissed off they are that I’m Puerto Rican 😂 they want to threaten me with it so bad 😂

President Zelenskyy has been one of the greatest leaders of our time, guiding Ukraine through the darkest period of its recent history, rising up to Russia’s unwarranted aggression, being an inspiration to the Ukrainian people and ensuring that Ukraine’s voice is heard on the world stage.
