Are you better off under Trump? No matter what comes out of Trump’s mouth— the numbers don’t lie.

This is what happens when Trumpist bullshit meets an educated person.

WATCH — Gov. @andybeshearky.bsky.social @andybeshearpodcast.bsky.social : “These mass firings are making us less safe… there’s nothing wrong with wanting to fix the federal government, but what we’re seeing now is an attempt to break it. And that’s in my Kentucky accent.”

Texas Republicans are back with the creepy “Furries Act”—a total waste of tax dollars and legislative time over a fake litter box conspiracy. If this were real, kids would be flooding social media with videos. They’re not. Because it’s nonsense.

Dr. Anthony Fauci urges Americans not to accept "Normalization of Untruths".

Great to see! "A major company, Microsoft, has dropped a law firm that settled with the administration in favor of one that is fighting it." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/01/b...

“xAI tried to train me to appeal to the right” says so much about the current moment we live in

Why don’t we just manufacture in the U.S.??

we need to spend more time with @repdangoldman.bsky.social's clip. not a single penny toward disaster relief but TONS OF YOUR CASH to "protect" drumpf's golf habit 🧢 @mrsquirrel.bsky.social @zentrixter.bsky.social

JUST NOW: Leader Jeffries, Senator Coons, and Senator Booker sat on the Capitol steps, watched the sunrise, and talked about the budget fight. This is what we need—bringing people in and speaking plain truth. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @coons.senate.gov @booker.senate.gov

Warnock: I hear people attack poor people and act like it’s a crime to be poor, rather than to recognize it’s criminal for so many people to be poor. They do all of this in the name of Jesus… Jesus is the biggest victim of identity theft in the United States

Chuck Grassley gets called out at a town hall… "  Stop the use of the word entitlement because it's insulting to all of us." 🔥 #HandsOffMySocialSecurity

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

This ultra-small generator is designed to harness energy from even the smallest rivers, like those flowing through urban areas between homes. It can power street lights, offering a sustainable solution for remote or urban communities to generate their own electricity.

Marriott’s CEO said it straight: “We welcome all… we create opportunities for all… that’s who we are as a company.” He went back to his hotel to find 40K emails from Marriott associates worldwide saying “thank you.” Plenty of CEOs talk. Capuano showed up. Marriott still has my business.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Exactly this!

Today’s “One First” takes a (very) deep dive into Justice Alito’s Saturday night dissent in the A.A.R.P. Alien Enemy Act case—and how it attempts to invent a series of procedural objections to the majority’s intervention that … simply don’t exist: www.stevevladeck.com/p/145-justic...

Breast cancer diagnoses rose by over 300% between 1973 and 1992. Was there a breast cancer epidemic?! NO. Mammograms were implemented for screening in 1976. PREVALENCE is a function of being able to correctly diagnose something. This is also about autism.

My reaction when people act surprised that a weekend Fox News host isn’t qualified to run the Pentagon.

Carl Sagan when asked, "Are you a Socialist?"

Debunked, half-true, and deeply ableist. RFK Jr. knows shockingly little about autism.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth shared detailed information about strikes in Yemen to a second unclassified Signal group chat that included his wife and brother, people familiar with the matter said. nyti.ms/4jBQ1wV

incredible scenes when you have a president who hasn't achieved object permanence

The Pope refusing to meet with you but instead sending a subordinate to lecture you about compassion speaks more loudly than any performative Christianity one surrounds themselves with.

Turns out people want their dems to fight for their values and protect due process

Thanks to @meidastouch.bsky.social for sharing stories of the resistance on both sides of the border. #elbowsup

Anyone debating or analyzing Kilmar Abrego Garcia's life or record is doing a grave disservice. He could be El Chapo. He could be Charles Manson. He could be the Dalai Lama. It doesn't matter. What has happened to him and others is clearly a violation of America's core laws and principles.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

ONE IF BY LAND TWO IF BY D.C. the north end church in boston it’s 250 years today @northendpage.bsky.social

Dear @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social STOP telling America we are in a Constituional crisis (which we are) but ACTING like it’s politics as usual. IF IT’S A GDMF CRISIS, ACT LIKE IT! We don’t want to see more speeches & interviews. We want to see open rebellion from YOU!!

Just so y'all know what the mood in Jersey City is like rn.

RFK Jr.’s lies about autism are disgraceful — and I won't share them to spread misinformation. He consistently undermines public health and reinforces dangerous myths. In Illinois, we stand with those with autism, and I’ll keep fighting for inclusion, science, and the truth.

Steve Kerr wore a Harvard basketball shirt after the Warriors’ win tonight: “Yes, this is me supporting Harvard. Way to go. Way to stand up to the bully.”
