Hey, @schumer.senate.gov :: you better not be playing cute with your language about stopping the SAVE Act. I hope you intend to VOTE NO ON CLOTURE, as opposed to what you did with the CR when you told us you'd vote no on the bill, but still voted YES on cloture. We are in no mood for games.

That hast by tyranny these many years Wasted our country, slain our citizens, And sent our sons and husbands captivate.

Rand Paul: "The whole [tariffs] debate is so fundamentally backwards & upside down. It's based on a fallacy & the fallacy is this: that somehow in a trade, someone must lose. That somehow when you trade with someone, someone is taking advantage of you... I have a trade deficit with my grocery store"

🚨The SAVE Act would create BURDENS FOR MILITARY VOTERS, low-income voters, elderly voters, rural voters, tribal voters, survivors of natural disasters, and tens of millions of married women who have changed their names. #HandsOffHerVote social.demcast.com/s/fm2oDi9W

Imagine a billionaire wanting to bring America back to the Robber Baron Gilded Age that caused the Great Depression, and using racism so gullible non-millionaires will let you.

Moskowitz: When President Zelenskyy came to the White House, we heard a lot about what he was wearing. Oh my God, the precious Oval Office—he didn’t wear a suit! I mean, here’s a picture of Kid Rock in the Oval Office—he looks like he’s about to jump over 10 buses on the White House lawn.

Gift article www.nytimes.com/2025/04/08/u... "Hours after [the] order came down ..., a reporter traveling with the president ... sent an update to news organizations in the White House Correspondent’s Association: A reporter and photographer with The [AP] had been turned away from joining the pool."

out: being someone’s emergency contact 💘 in: being someone’s emergency habeas filer 📃✍️

Sending anyone from this country to a foreign gulag, particularly without a court hearing, should rightfully end a presidency. Full stop.

if you are trying to stay sober and all this stuff is making you feel like picking up, please dm or reach out to me in replies. you don't have to drink over this and you don't need to do this alone and like, don't let THESE motherfuckers be the reason you relapse lol

Yeah, well, don't we think that every day now? And then we sleep and wake up and find we've gone lower.

Keep calling your republican senators! Please!

SCOTUS didn’t even have equitable discretion to vacate Boasberg’s orders b/c he was in the middle of contempt proceedings. You have to have “clean hands.” It would be like a drug dealer filing a complaint because he didn’t get paid. Cannon did the same thing in the documents special master case.

MMR vaccine doesn’t just prevent measles, mumps, and rubella. It also prevents RFK Jr. from showing up at your child’s funeral to exploit your grief at your most vulnerable moment.

From the NYT: “Supreme Court Temporarily Blocks Order Requiring Return of Wrongly Deported Man “Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. issued an interim measure meant to give the justices some breathing room while the full court considers the matter.” There sb no need for “breathing room” on this!

It's hard to imagine how this will all turn out, but I feel a deep moral obligation to fight it every step of the way. If they won't lift em up We will Harriet Tubman One of the bravest resistors of all time news.yahoo.com/national-par...

I asked the one high ranking policeman I saw on 5th Ave why there were so few police. He said “We did not expect anything like this. Don’t tell anyone but I’ve only got 44 officers out here — and it’s a great crowd, great event, no incidents.”

Dow Down 2200+ Points Fox:

Senator Jim Banks (R) isn’t sorry he told a fired federal worker “he probably deserved it”. He went on to say the worker was “complaining about losing a left-wing woke job in the federal government that should have never been a job to begin with”. The job was helping people with disabilities.

Here’s the next IG to be fired. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

So many eye-opening explanations here, as usual.

As a local cop, I’d like to say that dismantling of social services by the federal government, which helps fund vital services & programs for my neighbors, is insane. It’s anti-fiscal It’s anti-smart It’s anti-community And It’s pro-misery It’s pro-cruelty Hell, it’s pro-crime

I think this post is way snarkier than it needs to be, but she has some good insights. Democrats Get the Smallest Amount of Good News www.thebulwark.com/p/democrats-...
