“Special kind of stupid.”

Dark Pence is back.

Elon Musk bought and paid for Brad Schimel. That tells you all you need to know, Wisconsin. Vote Susan Crawford today.

Time to look into jury nullification

Fourteen hours later, he's still going. Thank you, @booker.senate.gov, for using your voice to alert people to Trump and Musk's wrecking ball to Social Security and other vital services Americans rely on.

Wisconsin! Judge Susan Crawford will work to protect your rights and freedoms. So get out there and vote today by 8pm. You can find your polling place at wisdems.org/vote. If you have any questions about voting, call or text the Voter Assistance Hotline at 608-336-3232.

The White House Correspondents’ Association said it fired host Amber Ruffin so it can instead focus the dinner on celebrating the First Amendment. Which apparently can be done best by preventing a gay black woman from speaking.

Secretary Hegseth must resign. He lied. Now, we have new reporting about Hegseth’s wife. If the White House doesn't provide more facts, then this raises all sorts of red flags.

The guy who campaigned on lowering prices on day one now says he hopes prices go up Congrats, America www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

The Brits are savage 🔥

UE leaders from around the country held an emergency rally and press conference today in Minneapolis. The rally was held in response to the recent abduction of a graduate student at the University of Minnesota. (1/4)

On this day in 1964, segregated white churches in Jackson, Mississippi, barred two interracial groups from entering Easter Sunday services. Nine men were arrested and convicted of disturbing public worship.

🚨 Trump threatens to use military action to annex Greenland, says he hopes automakers raise prices, pretends he's never heard of Signal and more in a deranged interview with NBC News. Watch:

LGBTQ+ women have always made history. We are powerful, we are resilient, and we are NOT going anywhere. This #WomensHistoryMonth, hear the stories of just a few of the powerful LGBTQ+ women who came before us: www.hrc.org/news/8-lgbtq...

Trump has not endorsed Putin’s aims, and his talk about wanting compromise suggests he may not believe in the “unity” of Ukraine and Russia. How far will Trump go? It depends how badly he wants “peace.” ICYMI Tamar Jacoby: www.thebulwark.com/p/impossibil...

A couple of years ago, I noticed that Dems were losing ground with Latino voters. I launched a Spanish-language YouTube channel to reach those people. That channel is now on its way to 300,000 subscribers and has nearly 50 million views. We have be aggressive and go into spaces we're not already in.

Thank you for sharing news of our initiative... we are an interdisciplinary team of researchers from U of Maryland, UPenn, and Georgia Tech + more whose aim is to communicate the impacts of federal cuts on science and health research nationwide. Full explainer thread here: bsky.app/profile/josh...

Detain him with plainclothes masked men, send him to a Louisiana jail and don’t tell his lawyers where he is or you’re not serious about stopping shit.

As a participant in US society, it is your fundamental responsibility to be critical of government at all levels. Don't be afraid to question policy coming from the party you belong to. Don't refuse to see merit in ideas from the other side. Unless it is MAGA. Those fuckers are pure evil.

People were mean to him on Twitter, so he bought Twitter. People were still mean to him, so he bought the US government. And he is going to use it to hunt down those bad people!

Our response is to fight, to protect, and to build.

Government abductions are unconstitutional. Denying anyone the right to due process in America is unconstitutional. If you’ve rationalized your silence or support for any of it because it’s happening to those you disagree with, give it a minute… They’ll get to you soon enough.

We represent many, many Jews who are furious about Rumeysa Ozturk’s kidnapping by armed ICE agents over an op-ed she wrote in a student newspaper. Meanwhile this man, who claims to speak for the Boston Jewish community, can’t even say her name.

Brand new show of AMERICA UNHINGED tonight at 8 pm ET. LIVE with me @franifio.bsky.social Join us as we discuss how Trump is detaining and deporting people based on their speech and activism and how RFK plans to make us all dead. Join us! www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLLo...

Keep the Congressional switchboard number handy these days: (202) 224-3121

We're 4 days into Signalgate and Trump clearly doesn't even know what Signal is. Who is running the White House?

can’t wait to see her face when they play this back at Nuremberg Trials 2: Trumplectric Boogaloo

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

Carney: "I respect Trump's goal to support American workers. But I disagree with him that this is how to help. With time, it will become apparently that these actions will end up hurting American workers and American consumers ... our response to these latest tariffs is to fight."

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

GOP Rep. Bacon: "We made a mistake. We passed legislation that gave the president some temporary tariff authorities. I think we should look back and maybe restore the power back from Congress and take away the authorizations."

Carney: "The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over."

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

Defiance through humour is a right! 😂💯 #Resist

I was ripped to shreds on #CNN for standing up for the safety of the American military before Hegseth was hired. Told I was a “disgrace” who should be “ashamed of myself”, berated through the commercial break and threatened with defamation. Look where we are now.

Remember how a couple of months ago we warned you that Pete Hegseth’s drinking could cause a national security breach?

News: NPR’s Tom Bowman reports of a Pentagon-wide warning about Signal’s security vulnerability - one week ago 👇🏼
