People need to stop hating other people. If you don't like someone, find distance, seek perspective. I believe public service and expertise are critical. We all do better when we all do better.

To be clear, Germany is cracking down on a Neo-Nazi party, and the US government is defending the Neo-Nazi party

NOAA's weather and climate prediction infrastructure provides critical forecasts for everything from hurricanes to wildfires to seasonal flood outlooks. Over 3,300 scientific experts call on Congress to stop the dismantling and illegal attacks. Read more from @ucsusa.bsky.social here:

In Seattle, cargo shipments are down 60%. Los Angeles will be next. This is how the recession begins.

In a letter from February, Martin asked Musk to “utilize me and my staff” to protect the people and the work of DOGE. He vowed to take “any and all legal action against anyone” who impeded DOGE’s work. By @andykroll.bsky.social and @jeremykohler.bsky.social

Elon Musk may or may not fulfill his promise to step back from DOGE. But his legacy is already clear: He is assembling a sprawling domestic surveillance system — the likes of which we have never seen in the United States. My latest for NYT Opinion (gift link): www.nytimes.com/2025/04/30/o...

WASHINGTON (AP) - US Consumer confidence slides for the 5th straight month to levels not seen since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Canadian Voter: I think who I voted for would be the best to take care of Trump, because Trump is, I’m sorry to say, an asshole.

My takeaway from this: He is so fucked.

Excellent as usual from Rick. Got at this in a piece earlier this year. How to tackle this remains a major challenge. www.huffpost.com/entry/citize...

Attn: US Armed Forces Some of you are cops. Your job is no longer national security, it's now domestic repression. "Crime" is hereby flexibly defined. The Attorney General's in the chain of command. Sort of, maybe, not really, but also yes. That's why you got into this, right? To shoot Americans?

The House passed a bill to severely limit the power of federal judges to issue nationwide injunctions. It comes after multiple judges, liberals and conservatives alike, quickly blocked some of Trump's executive actions. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/lowe...

My mom would’ve died in 2017 without Narcan. Trump and RFK Jr. want to leave families to bury their loved ones. This isn’t fighting opioids — if you voted Trump thinking he was going to save your family from this plague, they’re getting a death sentence instead. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/h...

Here it comes.

Vance's Easter visit to Rome clogged its streets with a 40-vehicle entourage. He also demanded the Coliseum be closed so he and his family could tour it alone. Tourists who properly booked slots in advance got screwed. He's apparently the first to make that demand. Then he didn't bother to show up.

We need to sue Musk to recoup the hundreds of billions he has cost taxpayers.

"the reason markets have risen this week is: Every time Trump doesn't do something destructive, then one possible negative future just got erased, and that makes markets really happy. And so he's erased a few of those negative possibilities, but plenty more remain."

Trump is systemically destroying confidence in the US economy for all parties—workers, consumers, investors, businesses. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/20/s...

The SAVE Act’s requirements that American citizens show a birth certificate, passport, or another document proving citizenship when they register to vote would “really affect all different kinds of voters” including married women who change their names, @mawaldman.bsky.social tells ABC News.

I want to take a moment to thank Drew for taking an interest in my work and putting together such an excellent profile. Most of what I do focuses on highlighting prominent figures and their statements, so being the subject of a profile is a new experience—and a meaningful one.

Trump is losing Americans billions!

Right Now, most of the American can relate to this message from the 90's.

So only traitors get sick and use healthcare?

As HCR makes clear below, you never know what actions against authoritarianism will matter. We all have our part to play. Let's get out there today!

The great @hcrichardson.bsky.social from her speech on the 250th anniversary of the lighting of the lanterns in Boston’s Old North Church. Read this excerpt to the end and you will be rewarded. Read it aloud and it gets better. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/april-18-2...

🚨SCOOP🚨: DOGE is building a master database at DHS that could track and surveil immigrants. They are already cross-referencing immigration data with data from SSA, IRS, and voting records from at least Pennsylvania and Florida, sources tell me. www.wired.com/story/doge-c...

NEWS: Mack Trucks has announced layoffs at Lehigh Valley, PA plant, due to Trump's tariffs.

"Due process is the essence of democracy. That’s what’s so alarming about what's happening today, when the govt is picking someone up on the street, sending them to a prison in El Salvador, and not bothering to ask if they’re guilty. That could happen to anyone. It’s off the charts authoritarian."

Very very important read. A startup backed by the paypal mafia and the Kushner is set to get a contract to privatize the entire internal govt credit card system. No compete sweetheart deal. Justified by bogus claims abt fraud. Pure corruption. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Republicans want to cut Medicaid to pay for tax breaks for billionaires. That will mean hospitals & clinics closing their doors, moms & babies losing health coverage, seniors cut off from home care services & forced out of long-term care facilities & so much more.

Breaking news: The European Commission is issuing burner phones and basic laptops to some US-bound staff to avoid the risk of espionage — a measure traditionally reserved for trips to China www.ft.com/content/20d0...

We all want our government to work efficiently. But cutting Social Security to give tax cuts to billionaires isn’t efficient - it’s wrong.

Fluoridated water at 0.7 ppm (parts per million) is NOT neurotoxic. It DOES improve dental health & overall health. Lead IS neurotoxic at a dose of 0.05 ppm in kids. Good thing RFK Jr cut the CDC lead poisoning prevention team & wants to ban fluoride. We are gonna be so much healthier, right? 🙄

If you have ever wondered how the leaders of America’s most powerful institutions would react if a despot sought to seize power in the US and strip away our most basic freedoms while destroying our economy, national security and institutions…now you know. They’ll roll over and play dead.

Inflation expectations have spiked dramatically.
