George Carlin had the Republicans nailed on this issue decades ago: If you're preborn, you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked. These people do not know how to make things better & do not want to

Trump welcomes finance ministers and central bankers from around the world to DC for the spring meetings of the IMF and the World Bank by reminding them that he is the biggest single threat to the global economy. By far. No contest.

As long as Donald Trump desecrates and defiles the White House with his despicable presence, there should be massive protests at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue — every damn day.

Meet Judy Bardes. She's 93, going on 94, and she was out on the road outside the Quadrangle senior community in Haverford, Pa., protesting Trump's tyranny. This spring's anti-Trump protests are her very first, and she tells me "it's scary to think what I'm fighting against."

Harvard refuses to play ball w/ Admin, but Trump trying to up the ante w/ tax status and foreign students. If Harvard can hang tough, might it carry over to Trump's other quarry -- media, law, and now NGO's? Looking forward to discussing w/ @nicollewallace.bsky.social on @msnbc.com at 5 PM ET.

The Black struggle against racism is central to the story of The United States. His attempt to expunge this story - under the guise of extinguishing “DEI” - represents an attempt to erase Blackness itself. News accounts that parrot his propaganda aid and abet this crime.

it's hard to find a motivation for DOGE other than 'hatred of the good.' these are bad people fundamentally envious or un-understanding of the idea that you might work or give for others, and attempting to punish it.

"It’s interesting that this is being seen through the lens of immigration when what we’re really seeing is the undoing of due process in this country...This is Trump deliberately going after a community he believes are unpopular enough that no one will defend them." Melissa is great here, listen:

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

This guy once called me an idiot, and I had to double check to make sure it wasn’t a parody account. No, this is how official government communications people talk in the Trump White House; like 12-year-olds.

This is the most thorough dissection yet of the the feds' case against Abrego Garcia. It has everything -- from the chilling reasons why he fled El Salvador, to the flimsy evidence filed by a suspended cop that has put him in jeopardy. Via @rparloff.bsky.social www.lawfaremedia.org/article/abre...

Sanders: A woman is walking down the street, a car stops, and these guys — in plain clothes and masks — grab her, throw her into the car, and take off. That happened in Vermont today. That’s the kind of thing that happens in dictatorships, not in a democracy.

A reminder that Donold feeds off of fear. He wants everyone to be afraid at all times. He wants you to stop discussing Kilmar Abrego Garcia. He wants you to stop discussing SignalGate. So he sows fear and panic.

Brace yourself: We're going to see a slew of Rose Garden announcements from Trump that he's gotten tariffs some specific country down near zero. But the reality is that in most cases, that's where we already were three weeks. ago

If this is true (I'm not disputing it), then the response needs to be something vastly bigger and different than it is, because virtually all the people involved are by definition immune.

When the “first hundred days” coverage starts, keep this in mind. FDR’s hundred days was a special session of Congress that passed legislation to enact his agenda. The story here is not how active the Trump administration’s been—it’s the unprecedented and unconstitutional consolidation of power.
