Can we please stop staying that, after Trump leaves office, the $400 million plane from Qatar will be given to the "Trump Presidential Library" Libraries do not fly on planes. The plane will be given to Trump.

I'm going out on a limb and saying that either he drops the girlfriend in the next two months or he leaves UNC before the college football season even starts. I don't envision UNC will tolerate this going forward otherwise. They'll move to terminate and argue breach of contract.

Duffy’s full of it. Pete Buttigieg and Dems pushed to modernize our air traffic control system under Biden—Republicans in Congress blocked it. The Trump administration’s been too busy blaming DEI instead of fixing the real problems.

“One day, you might ask why people are punished for standing up for Palestine, why truth and compassion feel dangerous to power. … I hope our story shows you this: the world needs more courage, not less. It needs people who choose justice over convenience.” www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

🧵1/3 This is one of the best speeches from Senator Chris Murphy that I have ever heard. Senator Murphy giving a masterclass speech to Kristi Noem 🔥🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

So let me get this straight: masks are bad and un-American if worn to fight a pandemic, but good if worn by people claiming to be government agents when they kidnap people off the street

Wait, I’m just catching up. The Press Secretary thinks the Library of Congress lends books out to children?

Harvard scientist Kseniia Petrova has been in ICE custody for about two months. Her colleague and friend Leon Peshkin says her case is causing some scientists to reconsider working in the U.S.

Public interest organizations serve every facet of America. They feed the hungry, provide safe places for kids, and protect the environment. They give pro-life & pro-choice Americans ways to advocate. A Trump attack on them is an attack on civic life itself. www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/trumps-nex...

Today's morning hike.

To everyone celebrating today, Michelle and I hope you have a blessed and happy Easter.

Im sure at this point even signal is like "leave us out of this" Embarrassing times for this country.

He makes a point!

Van Hollen on Fox News Sunday: "My whole point here is if you deprive one man of his constitutional rights, you threaten the constitutional rights of everybody ... if you threaten the rule of law for one person, you threaten if for everybody in America."

#bobcat #cat This has been a pretty exciting day for our wildlife cameras! A raccoon at night and then a bobcat outside the back wall just a few minutes ago. This is a young little male who grew up near here and he's a very frequent visitor. We just love him. ♥️

"What the U.S. is doing now is not reform. It is rejecting the very system it created." - Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong (April 8, 2025)

Just too sad

Booker: "I've never seen an administration in my lifetime do something so monumentally wrong and that so staggering hurts American people."

Tim Walz: "It's not a 'woke policy' to provide food for children to get breakfast and lunch, and we get better outcomes from that. They defined things on their terms that weren't true ... we got timid."

Moskowitz: He tariffed the penguins. He tariffed Vietnam. Madagascar. I don’t know what the plan is. Is the plan to get people who live in Vietnam to move to Greenland to make the shirts there? Nobody really knows.

Well this seems like a fantastic plan. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/04/h...

TAPPER: You're imposing a 10% on the Heard and MccDonald islands. They have zero human inhabitants. Why are you putting tariffs on islands entirely populated by penguins? ROLLINS: Whatever. Listen, the people leading this are serious, intentional, patriotic, the smartest I've ever worked with.

I really do think we’re well beyond this point. If you pretend that your differences with friends and coworkers and family are about “politics” when in fact they’re about right versus wrong and fascism versus the rule of law, you’re doing your country a grave disservice.

Spent some time looking at the pictures and videos under the #HandsOff hashtag and it made my day. May we keep this going!

A reminder that the Washington Post gave Bondi a green thumbs up to confirm for AG. Democracy Docket called her an election denier. www.democracydocket.com

Go Olympia. 🤩

it’s weird that we’re staring down the second unprecedented economic catastrophe in five years and instead of a novel coronavirus that will go on to kill millions of people this one is just “no one was willing to tell him no”

when people say "this isn't what I voted for" they should be forced to list what they DID vote for

He’s an idiot. A dangerous idiot. And so many people are being so severely hurt by his idiocy.👇

All I’m saying is that President Harris wouldn’t have us looking at the futures market on a Sunday night.

Another large law firm capitulates. Absolutely shameful. These firms are helping Trump destroy the rule of law and democracy. If Willkie Farr & Gallagher won't defend itself, why on earth would any client trust it to defend the client?

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."

It may be breaking, but @booker.senate.gov's voice has never been more powerful. Thank you, my friend, for speaking out for freedom, justice, and the country we love.

#Birds #Chachalaca I have been visiting Mexico and enjoying watching and feeding these amazing birds for 10+ yrs. It wasn’t until yesterday that I finally saw my 1st baby “chick” and better yet, observed the mother feeding her baby!

Congratulations to Judge Susan Crawford on her victory, and to the people of Wisconsin for electing a judge who believes in the rule of law and protecting our freedoms.

Will this ever change?! 🥺🥺🥺 #CesarChavezDay

Man. There are a lot of cynics out there. If what Booker is doing doesn’t bring YOU joy, there’s no need to shit all over everyone else’s appreciation.

I am so fucking mad and sick over this. What an enraging story by Philip Holsinger in San Salvador time.com/7269604/el-s...

That is TWENTY THOUSAND more people than anticipated !!! 🥳🏆

So… the very same Republicans who said they were cutting SNAP because hunger could be “addressed by food banks”, just cut $500 MILLION in funding for… You guessed it. Food banks.
