Did y'all know that before the crowbar was invented, crows just drank at home 🥴🥴🤣🤣 Happy Sunday y'all

Happy Springtime!

Bend the knee or suffer the shakedown

It’s only evidence of gang activity if you’re non-white

How dare liberals actually study the law to inform their opinions about what is right?

Citizens United was the death of democracy. Citizens United must be overturned.

Trump pulled Stefanik’s U.N. abassador nomination to protect her House seat because Democrats are surging, even in deep-red districts. Add in a flipped seat, Fox News hosts getting humiliated, and some surprise court wins, and you’ve got a Week In Wins worth reading.

The Simpsons have a better track record than the average psychic

Senate Republicans would rather you didn’t find out they just voted to give the biggest banks billions in profits from overdraft fees that kick working people when they’re down. Disgraceful. Meanwhile, every Senate Democrat voted against it.

How much stoopider can this get? youtu.be/WCfPXKt_VIA

Delighted that Jeff spilled the news — and disappointed that he lost access in the process

More proof there’s no Russian connection

Perfect

Jeffrey Goldberg thinking he was being pranked and then realizing he was actually just in the war plans group chat is such a good microcosm of how it feels to be alive right now, everything seems fake until you realize it’s actually real and incredibly stupid

I'm Kat Abughazaleh and I'm running for Congress.

The question is what those compressed particles were… the bones of children? ground up puppies?

Tucson, Arizona today. Original projected attendance was 3,000 people. 23,000 showed up.

Amen

On the subject of nicknames, I was delighted to learn that “enema musk” returns correct results

Elon musk is suing the state of Wisconsin, in a case that will likely end up in the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Brad Schimel is running for a SCOWIS seat. Elon Musk, so far, has donated $6.2 million to Schimel’s campaign. Connect the dots. Fuck Oligarchy. Vote for Susan Crawford🤘

When you’ve lived it, you recognise it

Kitty Dukakis, an activist first lady of Massachusetts and humanitarian who was open about her struggles with addiction and depression, died on Friday. She was 88.

47 doesn’t care if your mom starves. Really. Neither does president musk. The goal to stop all payments & force everyone to reapply. To help ease this burden they’ve ended all telephone help lines and closed down hundreds of local offices.

“Anyone who likes or replies to the photos will be treated as a terrorist sympathizer. If you possess these images, delete them now. Elon Musk is a patriot with a great American hairline.” theonion.com/doj-des...

Can’t make this up.

Detained is legal limbo. Deportation means a person was sent back to the country they’re from. Sending people to El Salvador is state sponsored kidnapping.

Thank goodness someone is angry!

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Boasberg has taken the bench as he weighs whether to vacate his restraining order on deportations under the Alien Enemies Act.

This feels plausible

The Trump administration has just removed a federal ban on contractors from having segregated restaurants, waiting rooms, and drinking fountains. This is a result of Trump’s executive order to combat DEI.

It is clear that some of us understand the present danger & some don’t! I stand by the NO vote on the blank check for Trump & Elon… I’ve got no explanation nor agreement with Senate Dems being complicit in Trump’s Tyranny.

By the way, amongst everything I just absolutely reject the “Dems are cowards!” Narrative. House Dems did their job. Many swing state Senates are opposing this. The only coward here is Senate leadership, and we should be very specific in calling them out.
