While I'm glad he was our sole representative at #OOC it was total incompetence for @schumer.senate.gov to force a vote on tariffs knowing he would be a vote short. COME ON!

Trump Opens Up Nation’s Aquariums To Commercial Fishing theonion.com/trump-o...

To everyone shouting “no one is above the law” referring to that Milwaukee judge: We have a criminal in the White House. A guy who’s proven to be utterly lawless. And you’re perfectly fine with that. So take your “no one is above the law” bullshit and shove it up your ass.

Fuck. NOAA’s been DOGE’d

Pope Francis' death leaves a vacuum of moral environmental leadership within the globe’s largest religion, but his words still echo: “It is not enough … to think of different species merely as potential ‘resources’ to be exploited, while overlooking the fact that they have value in themselves."

“Starting today, fishermen will finally be allowed to sail into America’s protected aquariums, drop a net in any marine exhibit they please, and begin trawling,” Trump said at a press conference

I agree with trump. “It’s so, so horrible and so stupid, it’s so stupid,” Trump said before signing an executive order that opens up commercial fishing in the Pacific Islands Heritage National Marine Monument. www.msn.com/en-us/politi...

Friendly reminder. In the United States, criminals are entitled to due process. Even if you pay hush money rig an election, steal top secret documents, or incite a mob to overthrow the government; no matter how egregious your crimes, you’re entitled to due process.

Trump Opens Marine National Monument to Commercial Fisheries www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/c... | I wish I could say this was unprecedented. But it’s happened once before in history- the last time Trump was President. Sigh.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Wow. David Brooks is recommending Erica Chenoweth and Maria Stephan's *Why Civil Resistance Works.* I never thought I'd see the day. @chenoweth.bsky.social @mariajstephan.bsky.social Time for a Civic Uprising www.nytimes.com/2025/04/17/o...

And just like that, the United States loses about a third of its strong ocean protection... #MPAtlas #30x30

That's me at the designation of the Pacific Islands Heritage marine national monument in 2009 It exemplifies my career -- caught in the middle between Indigenous leaders and Western scientists Trump rolled back some of the monument protections today www.southernfriedscience.com/trump-signs-...

This country is becoming unrecognizable. What we’re seeing is state-funded fear. We’ve warned people: keep filming, go live on social media so these moments are documented and shared. This wasn’t a case involving masked ICE agents—but that’s happening too.

The dangers of the features of the Constitution that may break the country — the potentially monarchical nature of the presidency, Senate apportionment — were not only long foreseen but discussed at the convention itself. We've been handed down a time bomb with the hope we'd know how to defuse it.

@muellershewrote.com Why is today’s (Mon 4/9) episode still for subscribers only at 9:30am ET?? Is this the new norm?

Maths gonna math. These people are idiots.

RAND PAUL: “.. When McKinley most famously put tariffs on in 1890, [the GOP] lost 50 percent of their seats in the next election. When [Smoot and Hawley] put on their tariff in the early 1930s, we lost the House and the Senate for 60 years.” @washingtonpost.com t.co/ONtPfv9On2

"...right-wing populist governance and autocracy are undesirable. You’ve got the inability to admit error, the refusal to accept or internalize constructive criticism from the opposition, the ministering above all to the cult-like defense of the leader." newrepublic.com/article/1932...

Swalwell: Hegseth is still the Secretary of Defense? This moron texts out our war plans, putting our soldiers at risk, and he’s not gone? Every one on that chat—they just fire off texts not knowing who is on the chat? They all should be fired if they don’t resign.

CNN put together a collection of clips of various Trump officials who were on the signal chat criticizing Hillary Clinton’s email server

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.
