The fuck? This is untenable. Dude is a walking security threat.

Donald Trump ordered the Department of Justice to investigate the leading platform through which Democrats raise money for their campaigns. Less that 100 days in, Trump is weaponizing DOJ to prevent his political opponents from funding opposition campaigns. Where is the outrage?

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS: Was just passed this from a fellow service academy grad. A Coast Guard Academy graduate posted this. They are reporting that ICE entered base housing and took a USCG spouse. I can’t confirm this but I’m calling for answers from the Coast Guard and Congress. This is unacceptable.

Maddow: 88% of the country says no, no, he cannot defy a supreme court ruling. Only 9% say yes he can. And you know, it's not the same thing. But I should mention that 9% is also the proportion of Americans who told yougov this week that they have a favorable view of the black plague

This is the 4th person I saw warn us about the bird flu. #impeachtrump

youtube.com/shorts/ERra4... I know I said I wasn’t gonna be on here, but y’all gotta see us. You gotta be kidding me 🤬

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops. I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III. Remind you of anyone?

Remember the 6 men who forcibly removed Dr. Teresa Borrenphol from the Coeur d'Alene town hall? They’ve been arrested and charged! www.kivitv.com/news/six-men...

Not sure who needs to hear this, but any govt official who violates someone's constitutional rights -- and is acting outside the scope of their lawful authority -- can be PERSONALLY liable in a civil suit. ICE officers. Cabinet members. White House staffers. Even the president.

NEW: Judge Sessions orders Rümeysa Öztürk transferred from Louisiana to Vermont, finding that she “has presented viable and serious habeas claims which warrant urgent review.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

So what you’re saying is, it’s just another day at the Fox “News” network

Exactly.

Don’t be a deer in the headlights. Stand up. Speak out. Have courage.

The North American Building Trade Unions are calling for the return of their member, Kilmer Abrego Garcia, who is the victim of human trafficking by our government.

3 days ago RFK Jr. told the CDC to stop recommending water fluoridation, claiming it was a neurotoxin (this is a lie). Turns out he also just eliminated the CDC’s entire Lead Program, and now lead poisoned children in Milwaukee are just on their own. Lead IS a neurotoxin and harms brain development

The Trump admin has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new EO on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government. www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

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?

In addition to cutting Medicaid by $900 Billion, Trump now wants to raise the cost of medications. It would appear he is trying to beat the number of people he killed in his first administration. At the rate he is going, he will do that. In closing and with all due respect. #FuckRepublicans

There are 32m small businesses in the USA

It’s a fire sale…

It's unbelievable how eloquently Cory Booker is still speaking after almost 19 hours of filibustering. Tens of thousands are watching on C-Span and I hope he gets even more viewership and donations today so more Dems are motivated to fight! Go Cory! 💪🏼 actionnetwork.org/forms/stand-...

Senator Cory Booker is only a few hours away from breaking Strom Thurmond's record for the longest speech on the Senate floor (24 hours and 18 minutes). Every single Democratic Senator needs to be like Senator Michael Bennet out there helping Cory with his filibuster! Come on, Cory!!!!!

It is absolutely right that we do not need Greenland (or Canada) for natsec reasons because they are already close NATO allies. So the only rationale to turn the US into an aggressor in our own hemisphere is if you don’t plan on NATO being a US alliance in the future.

Whut?

This is the face of evil. She shot her own dog in the face, and she'll just as happily shoot you, too. It doesn't matter if you're here legally. You can be disappeared to El Salvador, and Kristi Noem will use you as her next propaganda piece.

Was Tulsi Gabbard lying today, or was she lying yesterday?

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Ding ding ding WE HAVE A WINNER!🇨🇦

THIS IS INSANE: A thread 🧵👇 Yesterday, the acting commissioner of the Social Secrity Administration, Lelnd Dudek, notified Rep. George Latmier that he rejected his and Rep. Lawler's bipartisan effort to keep the only Social Security hearing office in the Hudson Valley open.

So F'ed up, I don't even have words for it.

Jawdropping. You would expect this in a dictatorship, not the United States. This country is unrecognizable.
