We could have had this beautiful family in the White House - I’ll die mad about it.

🚨 BREAKING: Harvard just 𝗱𝗼𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 and is suing the Trump Administration. Trump threatened to withhold billions unless they bowed down to his right-wing autocratic demands. 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝘁𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗳**𝗸 𝗼𝗳𝗳. Add your name to double down and support Harvard in their fight against Trump

Powell is Trump’s Fauci 2.0

We need to talk about RFK Jr.’s recent comments on autism. He said: “These are kids who will never pay taxes. They’ll never hold a job. They’ll never play baseball. They’ll never write a poem. They’ll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted.”

Perseverance, endurance and patience. History shows a legislative strategy alone is not sufficient to defeat fascists and dictators. You need organized civil society (we the people) fighting back along with persistent legislative defense of democratic institutions and programs. -Rep. Jamie Raskin

Was that why all of those hypocrites was touching him in that mass prayer photo op...

Pope Francis was a visionary leader who dedicated his life to service and justice. He encouraged us to protect our planet, championed a more inclusive church, and cared for all of God’s children — especially the most vulnerable among us. Doug and I join the world in mourning his loss.

Trump attempted to rally against federal judges and the due process afforded to migrants in deportation proceedings, complaining on Truth Social that “we would need hundreds of thousands of trials” for everyone to have their cases heard in immigration court.

@ruthmarcus.bsky.social in the @newyorker.com: “The Justices, most of them, must now understand: we are not dealing with an Administration that deserves the benefit of the doubt. … The ensuing 1 a.m. order represented the Administration reaping the results of its own bad-faith arguments.”

Everyone is focused on the cash Noem was carrying when her purse got stolen. I’m wondering about the “medication” that was in there.

Everyone who served in the military knew a lieutenant like Hegseth. We just never imagined that we would ever have a president who would make one of those dipshits Sec of Defense because he liked his rap on TV.

BREAKING -- Tesla's share price $TSLA drops almost 6% today -- not because of a bad quarterly earnings report, but because everyone is expecting tomorrow's quarterly earnings report to be THAT BAD. Meanwhile their CEO continues to work remotely on a dubious side project in DC.

'Horrified': Harvard scientist's ICE arrest leaves cancer researchers scrambling https://twp.ai/4ilqej

Serious question. Kristi Noem was pictured with a Rolex in El Salvador, and got 3k in cash stolen. She has been on a govt salary for years. Something aint right

A. True. American. Hero. 😎✨

Frost: You want to talk about courts but the highest court in the land told Donald Trump what to do. Facilitate him coming back to the country. And guess what they did? They flipped the bird to the supreme court. That is not the rule of law

So we’ve got a Secretary of Defense who can’t keep his communications secure and a Secretary of Homeland Security who can’t keep her handbag secure. #FireThemAll

"Kennedy’s disgust with and devaluation of autistic people fits neatly into a eugenic logic that views health as virtue, and sees illness, or difference, as a kind of moral lapse which should be subject to punishment or censure."

I’d celebrate if I weren’t so concerned about who will replace him. www.npr.org/2025/04/21/n...

Pete Hegseth is clearly ill-equipped to handle the role of Secretary of Defense. His repeated failure to follow basic operational security procedures jeopardizes the safety and security of our armed forces. He should resign.

National security clearances? Overrated. Now you too can stay in the loop—thanks to Pete Hegseth’s Friends & Family Plan! youtube.com/shorts/-CKXq...

Remember this? Drinking at the podium. Chaos at the Pentagon. We’re one whiskey shot away from DEFCON 1. Every Senator who voted to confirm Hegseth knew exactly who he was. They don’t get to act shocked now—they should be held accountable.

Workers who track data on car crashes, drownings, traumatic brain injury, falls in the elderly, and other perils lost their jobs. Advocates worry life-saving work will stop.

We’re introducing a new layer of verification on Bluesky — a user-friendly, easily recognizable blue check. In addition to account verification issued by Bluesky, we're also introducing Trusted Verifiers. Select independent organizations can verify accounts directly.

Raskin: You see that with Hegseth and a lot of other people who can actually be promoted to the highest levels of this government with the most irresponsible behavior, but they all happen to be white guys..

Trump is following through on his pledge to lower prices

Juan Carlos Lopez-Gomez, a 20-year-old American citizen born in the U.S., was jailed in Florida under a controversial state immigration law, even though he had a valid U.S. birth certificate and Social Security card. A judge confirmed both documents were real, but said she

A Delta flight just caught on fire in Orlando, Florida. (Video per Dylan Wallace)

So are we still more upset about Diverse, but qualified, yet presumed unqualified hires, than DUI hires? (Asking for anyone who cares about US National Security) Pete Hegseth needs to go for the safety of the United States & the allies that we still have.

“This happens today: if the investments in the banks fall slightly… a tragedy… what can be done? But if people die of hunger, if they have nothing eat, if they have poor health, it does not matter! This is our crisis today!” -Pope Francis

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

Confirming Hegseth really was insanely reckless.

Every citizen in the USA should be obliged to read or watch The Handmaid's Tale. Now. Oh. Damn it. It's already banned in parts of the USA. When a book becomes alive. Too quick. It seems it's already too late for a rising. But I do hope I am wrong. #TheHandMaidsTale #USA #Facism

Bad for school kids, bad for farmers, and sure as hell won’t “make America healthy again.”

🚨 First Republican Lawmaker Calls for Pete Hegseth's Removal Amid Pentagon Chaos

Jasmine Crockett: ''I’m glad the Supreme Court stepped in and stopped that plane from taking off last night. Because deporting folks with no criminal record and no due process isn’t justice—it’s cruelty. You can’t scream 'law and order' while breaking the law at every turn.''

This is a very, very complex and exceedingly thorough process that involves extensive use of the president’s TiVo remote, so please, please, everyone, give it time www.npr.org/2025/04/21/n...

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.
