“The last time that I saw her, I was walking her up to that building thinking they were going into a routine interview, but from the moment we got that letter they were being lied to,” Moran said. “She really holds our household together and to not see her here and to not hear her voice really hurt"

The United States has lost its economic dominance. #MomSky #Voices4Victory

Elon Musk’s promised savings from his DOGE operation has shrunk from $2 trillion to what he now claims is $150 billion, or just 7.5% of the amount initially promised. Now, new estimates suggest his cost-cutting crusade might actually end up costing MORE than what he claims to have saved taxpayers.

47 and his DOD are likely to F-up many such efforts. Pretty sure our govt won't admit any wrongdoing so maybe we should check in on their Signal chats. 🤷‍♀️

Some people pointed out to me that MAGAs can't read. So I made my Substack into an explainer video. I hope you like it! And don't be afraid to share it! youtu.be/mSjTpxsPUpU?...

Editorial: With global threats proliferating, the world’s most lethal military can’t afford to be distracted by security breaches and culture wars

"He urged his questioners to disregard a budget blueprint he recently voted for that called for slashing $2 trillion in federal spending, potentially including to cuts to Medicaid. 'That is as good as the paper it’s written on,' he said." Then why did he vote for it?

3️⃣ days until we hit the streets. On Thursday, we’re teaming up with a coalition of organizations for a nationwide day of action. Join us on May Day to fight back against Trump and the Republicans who want to gut workers’ rights and sell our country out for profit: maydaystrong.org?utm_source=i...

On the Capitol Steps, Rep Hakeem Jeffries wished Sen Cory Booker a happy birthday—but they are not just sitting, they are standing for America’s soul. Hakeem laid it bare: the GOP’s cruel budget would wound children, forsake elders, & deepen injustice—all for billionaires. Let’s stand with them.

I feel like I’m losing my mind with the lack of wall to wall coverage on disappearing *children with cancer* i keep saying this, but it’s not 5% of the uproar that came from Biden’s debate. “kids peeing in litter boxes”, a thing that never happened, got orders of magnitude more coverage.

The crowd on the Capitol Steps is growing—joining Sen Cory Booker & Rep Hakeem Jeffries in a profound moral moment. A beautiful mix of ages, races, cultures & faiths stands together—the true spirit of America. My hero, Randi Weingarten joins to share a powerful way for us all to rise & be heard.

Donald Trump is screeching that Democrats are getting paid to attend town halls. Bro can’t cope that his administration is such a disaster that people are upset for free. 🙄

This administration is not concerned with us at all. They are terrible in every way. And we pay their salaries.

Public Square is a MAGA website that prides itself on being “the anti-woke marketplace.” To that end, it publishes lists of businesses aligned with “MAGA values.” They didn't anticipate that good Americans would use it as a guide to boycott them. Another MAGA failure delivered by The People.

Rock on my sister.

THEY ARE DEPORTING TODDLER CITIZENS AND ARRESTING JUDGES. THEY ARE DISAPPEARING STUDENTS AND HAIRDRESSERS AND INVESTIGATING THEIR POLITICAL ENEMIES. THEY ARE RAIDING COAST GUARD SPOUSES TO DETAIN THEIR SPOUSES AND THREATENING TO PROSECUTE MEDICAL JOURNALS. AND THEY'RE BRINGING BACK MEASLES.

He sees that. He is the patsy.

I'm going to Keep up the pressure ✊whose with me?

Commerce Department employees caught up in a legal battle over their mass firings are now learning that their health care coverage was cut off weeks ago, even though they were paying their premiums.

Im with Judge Hannah Dugan

#ProudBlue This brought tears to my eyes and is definitely something to share.

Bye bye US FORCES

So Trump said today he was “joking” when he said he was going to end the war in 24 hours? Does he sound like he’s joking here?

If there are a lot of immigrants in your area, you might be able to find an organization like this to support - or you could get advice from these guys & start one.

#BimboBondi didn't read her job description. AG is the PEOPLE's advocate.

Donald Trump keeps losing in court. That's why he's lashing out at judges who go against his authoritarian agenda — even going as far as to have them arrested. His regime is starting to crack bit by bit. Keep up the pressure. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

#ProudBlue I share @therickydavila.bsky.social sentiments. Both of these women would have been absolutely amazing in the WH. I proudly voted for both of them. I will never regret it. The United States is long, long overdue to elect a woman president. I hope to see it happen in my lifetime 🙏🏾

There’s only 2 things which *might* save us: 1. Their incompetence is canceling out much of their malevolence. 2. They’re going after everything & everyone everywhere all at once.

#ProudBlue #MomSky OMG! This is Russia & North Korea behavior. WTH?!? Federal agents arrested Milwaukee Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan on obstruction charges, FBI Director Kash Patel said. Patel made the announcement in an X post, which was quickly deleted.

44%! How is it even possible?

Bondi declares war on the courts: "What has happened to our judiciary is beyond me ... they are deranged ... we are sending a very strong message today ... we will come after you and we will prosecute you. We will find you."

What I'd like to know is why the board of directors would look at a 71% drop in profits and not have him removed immediately.

They’re arresting judges now

WTF? FBI agents arrested a Milwaukee county judge on Friday, accusing her of shielding an immigrant from federal authorities. The allegation? That Judge Hannah Dugan “intentionally misdirected federal agents away from” someone they were pursuing, according to a now-deleted post by Mr. Patel.

Trump just signed an exec order to end paper Social Security checks by Sept 30—screwing over 485,000+ Americans, many of them elderly, disabled, or without bank access. Cruel, calculated, and cowardly. tinyurl.com/Fool-Trump #HandsOffMySocialSecurity

The only states worth visiting, just made themselves known…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

🧵 This Yom HaShoah, I honor my Hebrew school teacher, Ann Jaffe: Holocaust survivor, educator, & the kindest souls I’ve ever known. At 9, I listened as she told how her family hid in a forest for 2 years. She showed us her tattoo—burned into her skin. I beg you: listen to her story. Say Never Again.
