@azagmayes.bsky.social please work with other AGs to stop this. We should not be forced to join a platform to access information about our own SS money. X is a hate-filled platform that openly hosts Nazis. As Americans, we should not be forced to join so Musk can make more money. #ProudBlue

An internal State Department directive, signed by Marco Rubio, encourages Department employees to file detailed reports — anonymously if necessary — naming any colleagues responsible. The directive was precipitated by Trump’s February 6 executive order, “Eradicating Anti-Christian Bias.”

Remember I told you that the plan is to get the “minerals deal” with Ukraine, then “realize” you can’t get the profits on it (infrastructure isn’t there, and… war), so then Russia could “buy US out” of the deal and hereby own it all? Think who actually needs the pipeline to have EU’s dependence ⬇️

Rep. Maxwell Frost: “They're the ones hoarding wealth beyond imagination. We have to tell people the reason you can't pay your rent has nothing to do with trans people. The reason you don't have healthcare has nothing to do with immigrants. It has to do with billionaires like Elon Musk.”

There's a paywall here, but the gist is important: When it comes to dismantling the democratic model, the 2nd Trump term has already moved faster/better than his Hungarian/Polish role models, attacking the same pillars: the judiciary, the media & universities. 1/2 www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/a...

I am proud to join my colleagues in filing an amicus brief standing up to Trump’s unconstitutional and un-American attack on birthright citizenship. Let me be clear: If you’re born on U.S. soil, you are a U.S. citizen. That’s not just common sense—it’s the Constitution.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

The real question is--why do so many Americans believe the MAHA message, despite it being so obviously false? And I'd argue--it's because that message offers both a sense of control in the face of uncertainty and a sense of moral superiority as a reward for good health. Let me explain... 1/🧵

It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime. Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed. I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.

Rudy Giuliani now claims he’s being ghosted by the White House after he publicly slammed tRump's key Cabinet members. This comes after years of being Trump's fixer, as reported by the Daily Mail following his chat with Eric Bolling. This made me smile. ☺️😂

Literal LOL “.. 64% of US imports from Taiwan are now exempt from the 10% reciprocal tariff, 44% from Malaysia, and almost 30% from both Vietnam and Thailand. 10% to 12% of imports from India, Korea and Mexico will also now be exempt.” 🤡

Greg Abbott is delaying our election because he’s a wuss. He knows my district stands unapologetically against him and Trump’s brainless policies that are making our country weaker by the day. So yeah, he should be worried. I’m running for Congress to give Trump hell!

Kilmar Abrego García is alive. Bukele, President of El Salvador, visits the White House Monday. We need to keep the pressure on the Trump administration to bring Abrego García home. His family needs him, and he has not been charged with a crime in any country. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

A state judge in Idaho — which has one of the strictest abortion bans in the nation — appeared to slightly broaden access to abortion there on Friday. In situations where a mother faces risk of death, the ruling allows for abortions even when death isn’t imminent.

North Carolina Governor Josh Stein said that FEMA will stop matching 100% of the money for Hurricane Helene recovery in North Carolina. Donald Trump’s administration refused Stein’s request to extend its 100% reimbursement period for another 180 days calling it “unwarranted.” Appalling.

Judge Xinis said Friday “There are no business hours in this court.” I’ll be keeping an eye on her docket this evening given Trump’s late and insufficient response to her order, and Abrego Garcia’s motion to show cause. Not to mention Trump’s assertion that Bukele has sole custody.

If I had to reregister to vote, post SAVE Act, I'd need: a $25 copy of my birth certificate, a $5 copy of my name change, a $3 copy of my marriage license, and an $89 drivers license. OR a $165 passport. Not only is it a poll tax, it's also a pink tax.

one of the most frustrating things is that many 'reasonable' people knew what ICE did to people was canaries in a coal mine, and yet it was always "yes, we know it COULD affect us - but it hasn't yet, and right now it'd just be politically inconvenient to stop hurting these people, sooooooo"

Good way to see the current tariffs, as of literally today, is no tariffs on high value add manufactured goods marketed to middle and upper middle classes. Massive tariffs for cheap consumer items which amount to the biggest economic privilege of working class/middle class life in US.
