NEW Businessweek feature: The US gives permission to pay people with disabilities below minimum wage. Biden tried to end program. Employers urging Trump preserve it say they've gotten private signals he will. Based on 1000s of pages of records & 150 interviews: www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Fvck Leonard Leo. Fvck Clarence Thomas and all gun advocates. This is my neighborhood you douche bags. www.dcnewsnow.com/news/local-n...

If I were a senator, @democrats.senate.gov I would be ON A PLANE to either Bluebonnet in Abilene or Harlingen NOW where Trump is about to send more people to CECOT under the Alien Enemies Act with no meaningful due process.

“The idea of 50501 simply gave people permission to empower themselves at a time when everyone seemed to be struggling and asking, ‘What can we do?’” Read more from @timdickinson.bsky.social ⤵️

MILBANK: In 100 days, “He has been a legislative failure .. .. an economic failure .. a foreign-policy failure .. a constitutional failure .. a failure in public opinion.” “.. chaos and destruction so high that historians are hard-pressed to find its equal ..” @danamilbank.bsky.social

In a great show of resistance, head coach of NBA’s Golden State Warriors, Steve Kerr, wore a Harvard Basketball t-shirt after a game the other night. Kerr made it clear: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.” More here: www.dworkinsubstack.com/p/harvard-fi...

A savvy US judge doing the research just blew up Trump's, Vance's, Rubio's, and Bukele's "I have no control over Kilmar Ábrego García's fate either!" lies.

Emergency video: it’s time to start making plans. Either the house steps up to defend the constitution, or our generation does. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

The only draft he can't dodge.

He hates this so u know what to do

Well, that settles it! I'm voting for Obama now! 😉😉😅

There we go. Support this man.

It is essential for the rule of law that everyone involved in this end up in prison. Nothing else is a sufficient deterrent against the intentional, repeated abuse of government power to systematically deny fundamental rights.

Trump floats legally questionable proposal to deport U.S. citizens www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

U.S. businesses sue to block Trump tariffs, say trade deficits are not an emergency www.nbcnews.com/business/bus...

Many native-born American immigration lawyers have received official letters from the government demanding that they self-deport. Apparently DHS used a list of aliens including many who listed their attorneys’ contact info by way of a care-of address. The country’s in the very best of hands.

While Donald sets fire to America's economy, one of the members of his crazy cult set fire the the home of Pennsylvania's Democratic governor last night. www.newsweek.com/democrat-gov...

Weird and scary

Ohio's own Rep. Michael Rulli was invited to attend a public town hall in his district. He declined, calling it a "pathetic event." So Tim Walz showed up instead - and answered questions Rulli wouldn't. Read the full story below, and follow for more Ohio updates.

Dropping this pie chart from @60minutes.bsky.social in the comments of any story/post related to this mess is the least we can do. Pam Bondi on Fox News today: “violent…something, something…violent…terrorists…tough on crime…something, something.” #MomSky 😐

We are so effing broken.

Breaking: The Supreme Court let Donald Trump resume using a wartime law to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members, giving the administration a major boost in a high-profile clash over the limits of presidential power

Does anyone remember Signalgate?

1. We contacted the 100 largest American companies and asked a simple question: Do you support the tariffs announced by President Trump on April 2? These are tariffs that have already destroyed trillions of shareholder value NOT ONE COMPANY WOULD ANSWER THE QUESTION

My working theory is that someone once told him that it was called "The Gilded Age" and went "You mean... like gold?"

Huge income inequality, coupled with horrific working conditions in manufacturing plants, and The Panic of 1873 and 1893. Best era, EVER. 🙄

"Uh huh, quick follow up -- which teams? Name them."

It’s a cult.

Gov Tim Walz (D-MN) to CNN: "I don't know if I'm the best spokesperson to do it... after just losing an election... but what I know is the public ... they're rising up and asking their leadership to do something"

just the simple fact that #unchainedatlast even has to exist shows how broken we really are. #endchildmarriage #truthovernarrative www.unchainedatlast.org 🥺🩶✊🏻

goddd the number of things that turn out to be caused (at least partly) by infectious, vaccinatable diseases. apparently some dementia is actually "long chickenpox"? www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

they’re going to investigate … water vapor

Burlington, VT earlier today

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff
