I absolutely agree with this! It’s so sad that millions don’t. #Pinks

This is Hugo. He has liked to wave since he was a pup. Proud to say he has never missed a chance to say hello. 13/10

Your School House Rock moment......

Ann Talnaes quit the Washington Post after Jeff Bezos wouldn’t run her cartoon of tech execs groveling before Trump. Yesterday, she won a Pulitzer for her work. They will try to eclipse the truth. They will never extinguish it.

This meme is many years old and it still holds true today…

Granddaughter of a Navy vet. Daughter of a Navy vet. Mother of an Army soldier. Not one damn dime should be spent on a military parade for a draft dodger…

Reporter: I was watching your face during the meeting.. what was going through your mind when the President talked about erasing the border.. Carney: I’m glad that you couldn’t tell what was going through my mind Reporter: Oh I could

As a party, we are prisoners being held hostage by people who simply refuse to accept that their time has passed and won’t accept that others more capable right now. Stay in the Senate, but step down from leadership. It’s time for a new approach, a new face, & a new voice.

Raskin: The lowest 100 day approval rating since polling began. He controlled the agenda. He controlled the House, the Senate— he’s got everything going for him and his numbers are in the gutter

ASKING FOR MY COUNTRY

"Can Trump’s Damage to Democracy Be Undone?" 'How Democracies Die' co-author Daniel Ziblatt speaks to Zeteo's John Harwood and warns that it's 'easier to destroy a democracy than to build' one.

If Whiskey Pete’s spouse, brother and attorney haven’t been served congressional subpoenas by the Easter Bunny already, what are we even doing here?

This national holiday I will celebrate with anime music and music from the Japanese rock bands Kodomo Band and Buck-Tuck.

Good morning and happy Saturday. Ordering 30,000 real eggs to waste rolling down the lawn of the White House on a Christian holiday, during an egg shortage, after promising to lower the price of eggs, is the peak analogy of this administration. He spits in their faces and they moisturize with it.

The amount of people who are okay with someone spending their entire life in a torture camp with no criminal record, no due process, no legal rights and no court proceedings is astonishingly high. The insanity is astounding.

I am still thinking about how students from Parkland were present at the FSU shooting yesterday. And how a young person surviving not one but two mass shootings is something that could only happen here in this country. Because this is what freedom looks like in the United States. #MomSky

This is Finley. He has a very large bump on his noggin. It's where he stores his infinite wisdom. 13/10 would pet to increase my own knowledge

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

One man just wiped out $10 trillion in wealth, is destroying centuries-old legal protections, and seems determined to unravel humanity’s greatest public health achievement. In 3 months. I don’t know how we get out of this. But if we do, one person can never have that kind of power again.

If you don’t think that at some point he’s going to show more interest in the 5,044 nuclear weapons he controls, you’re as deluded as the people who thought he’d never tank the stock market and the economy.

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

Walz: "My beef on this is that this guy is out there crying about his portfolio, and my mom's Social Security check this month is late. That he's attacking the portfolios of working Minnesotans and working Americans who have paid into these programs that he calls a Ponzi scheme."

America, you f**ked up! She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored her—because it was never really about the economy. Now folks are scared, struggling—and we’re cooked.

At one of his frequent press conferences (because he loves being on TV), I'd love it if some reporter piped up with, "What do you say to people who call you a know-nothing narcissistic asshole, Mr. President?"

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Fourteen hours before the crash. 👇

The oath I took as a federal employee never expires, and neither does my support for the federal workforce.

I’m a former Blackhawk pilot and am currently in DC for events. I heard the UH-60 flyby while eating a late dinner at the Wharf. I watched the emergency reponse. It’s unspeakably tragic what happened in very complex airspace at night. I won’t offer my opinion until we know more. People died.

Perfectly said.
