"For now, that means the tariffs are not being collected by the U.S. government..." 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ a "glitch" you say? 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ www.cnbc.com/2025/04/11/c...

U.S. measles cases topped 700 as of Friday, capping a week in which Indiana joined five others states with active outbreaks, Texas grew by another 60 cases and a third measles-related death was made public.

HAPPENING NOW: The Justice Department has missed a 5pm deadline to file details about Kilmar Abrego Garcia's whereabouts and efforts to comply with a judge's otder to facilitate his return. Still waiting to see if they're just a few minutes behind or not planning to file at all

Please repost to everyone. Americans need to know this information. Lots of Republicans got very rich this past week. Didn't you? @housegop.bsky.social @senategop.govpeeps.us

But we can spend $3 million to fund his golf every weekend. I call that “unwarranted.”

Democracy isn’t dying in darkness it’s being dismantled at the hands of the Supreme Court of North Carolina. @allisonjriggs.bsky.social won this election fair and square back in November. Her opponent is a petulant Confederate cosplayer who can’t handle losing. Concede Jefferson Griffin.

Everyone should do this at Press Conferences and tell #GaslightingLeavitt that she's a gaslighting, fucking liar and tell her to go fuck herself. Don't let her bully you. She won't know what to do if you beat her at her own game.

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

MTG is the dumbest person on the planet.. except when it comes to the stock market? 🤔

Dehumanize opponents? ☑️ Create a cult of personality? ☑️ Try to overturn an election? ☑️ Co-opt the Dep’t of Justice? ☑️ Persecute people for their beliefs? ☑️ Ignore the courts? ☑️ Set up a concentration camp? ☑️ Running out of boxes to check. What’s next, canceling elections?

During Janelle Monae’s acceptance speech at the Human Rights Campaign’s dinner in LA on 3/22, she boldly called out FOTUS’ relentless bullying & pledged to stand with marginalised communities, urging the need for action.⁠ ⁠ Her powerful #CupOfJoe urges action.

U.S. House passes bill targeting voting by noncitizens, which is already against the law oklahomavoice.com/2025/04/11/r...

Trump/DOGE has not failed in seizing our personal data, removing oversight, regulations, national security measures and medical care/scientific research. Trump/DOGE is a sham, where is this increased spending going? ⤵️

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

The stock portfolios of more than two dozen members of Congress outperformed the market in 2024. This isn't due to luck or skill. Lawmakers can use privileged information to trade stocks while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake, it’s legalized corruption.

“Well, Dr Franklin, what do we have, a republic or a monarchy?” “A republic… I think… wait… let me refresh my feed again…”

It’s a Secret Pod switcharoo. @jvl.bsky.social is doing the main pod so Tim can go to Coachella. So @timmiller.bsky.social and I taped an early secret pod. It’s a good one!

The attorney for Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was accidentally deported to El Salvador: "There's no reason that this case needed to become a national issue." I beg to differ. While I agree that it's the government's fault, everyone should know what they're doing to this man.

Waiting is torture! #cdnpoli

Indeed

Don't overlook this: Trump is leaving Abrego Garcia to rot in a foreign gulag even though the admin can always bring him back and *retry him for deportation in a lawful way.* That they won't do this shows their case against him is nonsense. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1939...

“Autocracy is exhausting and it’s designed to exhaust you … the worst enemy of autocracy is joy.” Reid said no matter what you do, to take action, no matter how small. “Do something that you can do ... and be joyful. Have some joy.” Joy Reid told me Watch my interview here:

Ohh that's RICH @ohhthatsrich.bsky.social

From the 2024 presidential immunity oral arguments: "But the liberal justices voiced concern that by offering presidents a shield from prosecution, the court could turn the Oval Office into a “seat of criminality,” as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson described it."

Sorry, what?

Called my congressman who voted for the SAVE act. Me: What documents will I need to vote if this passes? Staffer: a DL and birth certificate. Me: The documents don’t match Staffer: Then a marriage certificate. Me: Will my husband need the marriage certificate too? Staffer: No Me: See the problem?

I hate to say this, and it gives me the chills just to think it, but CECOT is on (and not a short way down) the road to Auschwitz.
