Reminder: Marjorie Greene insider trades stock in Trump's preferred mass surveillance and military tech corporation owned by oligarchs LIKE A TRUE RIGHT-WING POPULIST!

“Vote GOP, we’re all going to DIE anyway”

Jong-Fast: This would be the largest cut to food assistance in US history—and it will result in hungry kids. It’s also important to mention that this bill grows the deficit. I don’t know how it manages to do the two things you absolutely don’t want—starve children and grow the deficit—but it does.

For the second night in a row, russia launched a massive drone barrage at Ukraine - and missiles are on the way, with bombers airborne and ships seaborne. For the first time ever, I am spending the night at a metro station. What a damn good 'peace deal'. Many thanks.

In my worst nightmares the teenagers at DOGE take over the Nuclear Regulatory Commission and, yup, here we are.

Why would anyone trust Trump with our economy? His businesses have filed for bankruptcy 6 times between 1991 - 2009.

House Republicans snuck a massive policy change into their tax bill that could upend the civil service: It would make new federal employees "at will" unless they agree to an effective 5% pay cut. One union official told me it amounts to "criminal extortion." www.huffpost.com/entry/house-...

Watch what they do, not what they say.

Taking credit for things done under Biden again I see.

The Democratic Establishment Is Not Built to Fight Trump's Authoritarianism and Corruption. The Democratic Establishment wakes up to fight DNC Vice Chair David Hogg, but is still mostly complicit, weak & feckless to confront Trump's authoritarian reign & cruelty open.substack.com/pub/thelefth...

The grift is next-level, and it’s happening right under our noses in broad daylight. @pivotpod.bsky.social @karaswisher.bsky.social l loop

new from me: The House Republicans Budget Bill Guts Basic Needs Programs for the Most Vulnerable Americans to Give Tax Breaks to the Rich you have to read it because i've been working 15-hour days :')

The cost of Grok: "I can't breathe at home, it smells like gas outside. How come I can't breathe at home and y'all get to breathe at home?"

Phrases that should have been found: —“illegal and unconstitutional conduct” —“impeachable offense” —“lawless president unchecked by weak Congress”

The $400M flying palace Qatar gifted Trump is unconstitutional for a number of reasons & it’s just a part of the story Look at Trump’s crypto conflicts too—more emoluments! I discussed @thebeat.msnbc.com

Jesus... the racism is just right there... overt, unashamed, and vile.

crucial snap thread

"He's been her primary parent since she was born-doing all the diaper changes. Every single doctor's appointment, every cry, every nap, every meal. He takes care of her during the day and then works at night and on weekends. He does it all. He's everything for us." abc7.com/post/vietnam...

This May 22 dinner is a high crime and misdemeanor. A president of the United States can’t use the office to enrich himself in this way, from potentially anonymous donors for whom he might do favors. This is as textbook as corruption gets.

I wonder how many Americans realize that Bribery is one of just two impeachable offenses specifically enumerated in the United States Constitution and the case that Donald Trump has now committed that crime dozens of times in his second term is a legal slam dunk. So shall we get started?

When Trump’s sister got exposed for tax fraud during his first term she was allowed to quietly retire from the bench, no perp walks for that judge. Of course she’d always helped Donald cover up his crimes. So when Kash Patel says ‘no one is above the law’ he doesn’t mean Trumps.

NEW REPORT: Georgia doctors are being forced to wait for women to develop life-threatening infections before terminating nonviable pregnancies due to the State of Georgia’s abortion ban. www.atlantanewsfirst.com/2025/04/23/s...

He just plays President—does a daily Oval Office show, gets some attention, signs fancy papers—and they only tell him what they need him to believe, like, “The Supreme Court backed me 9-0.” And he’s fine with it! He treats not knowing about world events like they’re an episode of CSI he missed.

This "WHO'S NEVER COMING BACK" document published by the White House should be "EXHIBIT A" in any forthcoming hearing where a judge/justice has asked the White House to prove how it is "facilitating" the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

90% of the 238 migrants sent to brutal prison in El Salvador have NO criminal record.

I'm calling for an investigation into whether President Trump manipulated the market to benefit his Wall Street donors—all while working people and small businesses paid the price. Did Trump help insiders cash in on his tariff flip-flopping? It sure looks like corruption.

A disgraced former Milwaukee cop with credibility issues helped seal the fate of a gay Venezuelan makeup artist sent to El Salvador's notorious prison. Cross was fired from his position as a Milwaukee Police Sergeant in 2012 after driving his car into a family’s home while intoxicated.

We cannot abandon this young man- a gay makeup artist sent to El Salvador's notorious prison, by a disgraced former Milwaukee cop with major credibility issues He is Andry Hernández Romero. God knows what will happen to him. Call your representatives. Call the WH. We care

According to 60 Minutes research, 90% of people sent to brutal El Salvadoran prison have NO criminal record. This is deeply upsetting. They sent another plane full yesterday. Bombard the WH with calls (202) 456-7041. And your Reps. 1 202 224 3121 Everyone deserves a hearing. That is the law.

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

When ICE agents descended upon 19-year-old Merwil Guttiérez in New York City, they realized he was not the intended target of their operation — but they arrested the boy anyway. Merwil was, in fact, in the United States legally — from Venezuela, seeking asylum. Merwil’s father, Wilmer Guttiérez,…

Hearing the same from a direct source. People in Americorps being told they're done. It's over. No notice.

no criminal record no gang ties no tattoos active pending asylum case **19 years old** sent by trump to prison (forever?) in el salvador www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Stephen Miller is truly one of the most craven, awful, horrifying people I have reported on in my life. It is a blight on our nation so long as he has any power.

This was my classmate. He was a student in my ethics class, and we used to sit next to each other. Most dedicated person in the class to legitimate justice for all people. He legitimately cared. I am so horribly heartbroken

UPDATE: El Salvador’s brutal far-right dictator, Trump and Musk friend Nayib Bukele, has confirmed that he will never return any person sent to him from America. And Trump has confirmed he wants American citizens sent to El Salvador to die in a foreign gulag. This is a five-alarm fire for democracy.

Exactly. Trump and Miller want to make El Salvador their Generalgouvernement, and Bukele is stepping up to be their Hans Frank.

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

Shameful.

I don’t think a better headline could have been written about what happened yesterday. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If you wrote a story about a regime so comically evil that it literally snatches people from their citizenship interviews, you'd be accused of over-the-top imaginings.

Breaking News: Mohsen Mahdawi, a Columbia student activist who is a legal permanent resident, was arrested by ICE at a meeting he thought was a step to becoming a U.S. citizen. nyti.ms/4cxlwG4

“The Trump administration 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 order on supporting employees of Christian faith.”
