the frequency with which this sort of openly racist and hateful bile comes from GOP electeds is staggering. Most instances go totally unremarked on. In addition to being wildly offensive, it's civically degrading in a way I wish there was more shame about.

the timing of musk creating daylight between him and trump is perfectly calibrated so that both the "their alliance will be short lived" and the "musk will run the entire government forever" sides of the January debate can claim victory. Congratulations to everyone for calling it - you got it right.

Elon Musk is one of the worst people on earth. But I know people who unfathomably still like him, so you can bet I'm gonna send them his tweet urging them to call their senators to stop the reconciliation bill. Don't be shy about it. Use every tool in the box to stop the bill.

I have deep sympathies for the many students, faculty, and staff who will be harmed by this attack on higher ed. Because of those sympathies, I have even greater disdain for the cowardly university leadership who thought capitulating would save them. Their legacy is shame.

It is by no means an exaggeration to say that many, many people who work in politics don't actually believe in anything but making money in a white collar career of consequence. You can't explain this kind of thing any other way.

I watched large portions of this segment and at one point @mattyglesias.bsky.social threw up this slide, said Dems are "making bad press on this issue" and moved on. But the polling is wildly on Dem's side on this one! Opponents of what the Trump admin is doing with him outnumber supporters 2-1!

Four Democratic members of the SJC - Blumenthal, Hirono, Padilla, and Booker - didn't even bother to show up. Booker! Trump is shoving Emil Bove down Booker's throat, and he can't show up? Is he too busy hawking his new book? What a complete failure to meet the moment.

I am at Bloomington and Lake to understand whats taking place this morning. On scene are DHS, ICE, FBI, Sheriffs, and MPD. No matter the reason, one thing is clear: this display of force is designed to strike fear at the very heart of MPLS. We stand in solidarity against it.

Hi!! Back for my weekly fundraising ask. Right now, my office will no longer be able to pay staff starting mid-June so anything you can give us to prevent that would be super helpful. If you set up a recurring donation, we’ll send monthly pet photos. 🩵 secure.actblue.com/donate/staffruwa

I'm genuinely sorry that Fetterman had a stroke and suffers from depression. But arguing that he has a free pass not to do his job in the name of destigmatizing brain injury and mental health struggles is offensive. If he can't do it, he should resign. If he doesn't want to, he should resign faster.

HOLY SHIT. The ban on any federal funding gender-affirming care includes stripping ACA plans of covering it as the essential care it is. I have an ACA plan. I live in a blue state, but I am about to lose access to treatments I need. We told you this was coming www.advocate.com/politics/ant...

A HAPPY UPDATE! Mahmoud Khalil was allowed a "contact" visit—without plexiglass divider—with his wife and newborn son this morning before his immigration hearing, ACLU tells me, so I think we can safely assume that he was finally able to hold his child for the first time.

republicans are doing the most backroom deal, dead of night, reckless rush job imaginable on this bill. The absolute maniacal desire they have to rip away health care and take food away from kids in order to give their ultra wealthy buddies a fat pay day.

They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

Van Hollen has correctly said he regrets voting to confirm Rubio - one of the few Dems to have said this. Moments like this underscore why the vote was so dumb. He’s both carrying out Trump’s unconstitutional agenda, and he will not reciprocate any amount of collegial respect. He’s just bad!

Remember this vote next time you see @schiff.senate.gov posturing about corruption on MSNBC. This is a vote to make Donald Trump (and Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos) richer, while hurting families who deserve a fair economy and a functioning democracy.

The right-wing New York Post is calling Trump's crypto dealings a "Hunter Biden-Style Scandal." Are Democrats investigating or fighting back the way they got hammered on 'Hunter's laptop?' No, they're supporting a Trump crypto bill that makes the grift more lucrative. nypost.com/2025/05/19/b...
