🚨This is deeply disturbing. The Trump regime just had the FBI arrest a Wisconsin Judge. Kash Patel posted on social media about it, then deleted it. Why? That’s a big tell right there…What do you think? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...

We’ve talked about this before, but we wanted to expand on it a little more. Late last week, Elon Musk’s so-called “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) effectively took control of the Department of the Interior without a single Senate confirmation, public hearing, or vote.

Walz: "This is how government is supposed to work. It's not supposed to be one old man in the Oval Office sending out middle of the night tweets that shock markets into free fall. It's not supposed to be a bunch of 20 somethings unelected and firing everyone. It's not supposed to be chaos."

Pope Francis told us to “heal the wounds.” But what if we’re the ones inflicting them now? The U.S. is no longer just documenting human rights abuses. From gutted reports to dismantled oversight, this is what moral erosion looks like in real time.

Your friendly reminder that it is literally a federal felony punishable by up to five years in prison for the President, Vice President, or any employee of the White House to directly or indirectly ask the IRS to open an investigation into any specific taxpayer.

If true, US engagement with an entire continent will be reduced to extraction of its natural resources and counterterrorism, while expecting AI to somehow replace diplomatic relations. This policy discounts effective diplomacy and fundamentally misunderstands the current capabilities of AI tools.

"If liberal funders are going to have any more convenings, they need to do some soul searching and examine why—when everything is burning down—they are still hesitant to fund the strategies the right-wing has used to such breathtaking and horrifying success."

It’s time for Congress to reign in the Mad King. These tariffs haven’t even hit for real and the world is off the rails. Politically, it’s helpful to Dems, but this is why I’m not a good politician b/c I care too deeply about the harm on all people, even on those that hate my very existence.

"Jeffries is certainly correct that a third term is unconstitutional. But it does not follow that it is impossible. Trump is an insurrectionist occupying the presidency. That’s unconstitutional, but there he is. No one was willing to stop him. This is Trump’s entire playbook, endlessly repeated."
