Who has two thumbs and told everyone Bill Maher was garbage years ago?

This “genius” genuinely believes that healthcare budget analysts can simply be reassigned to making toasters.

77 million people voted for deregulation (Trump). Did they know they were also voting for pollution, cancer, and climate chaos loved ones and future generations? We can now be poisoned on purpose—without a check.

Seventy-five percent

Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. faintly called for people to get the measles vaccine — then turned around and falsely claimed the vaccine hasn’t been “safety tested” and its ability to protect “wanes very quickly.” Again, Kennedy is spreading dangerous…

Trump caves again and lifts tariffs on Chinese manufactured chips, smart phones, computers, TV, and solar cells. And what did China lift their tariffs on in exchange for these concessions?

Would love this! A parade that I can get behind! 💙⚰️

• CEO Tim Cook personally gives $1M donation to Trump • Nvidia CEO attends Trump dinner with $1M admission fee • Microsoft donated $1M to Trump Inaugural fund ! All are now exempt from tariffs for the low price of a $million ! Who in congress and which Trump insiders bought stock and made $?

But I was told Trump would be great for the economy?

Some personal news: the Department of Homeland Security has given me, an immigration lawyer born in Newton, Massachusetts, seven days to leave the U.S. Does anyone know if you can get Italian citizenship through great-grandparents?

Still no New York-founded law firm willing to go to court. Instead, the firms suing hail from Seattle, Boston, Houston and Chicago.

I've decided to keep up with events and post reminders here. I'm going to try to keep from being reactionary. I'm on a new medication that is really helping my anxiety. It's been a night and day difference for me. Know your rights and keep fighting the lawbreakers.

I sat on the floor yesterday to clean the bottom shelves of my fridge, and this is what I looked like trying to get up. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8jSpCEP/

One billion percent tariffs.

Trump tried to bury this story on a Friday night, but it’s extremely important: He’s planning to take land on the border controlled by the Dept. of Interior and sign it over to Dept. of Defense so migrants “would have trespassed on a military installation,” resulting in harsher punishment.

Maher got Played like a fiddle 🎻

@booker.senate.gov: "Are we a nation that is going to tolerate this, or a nation that's going to stand up? As the great Frederick Douglass said, 'the limits of tyrants are prescribed by the people that they seek to oppress.' How much will we endure before we say enough is enough?"

Bill Maher can try and frame it any way he wants. He NORMALIZED a dangerous authoritarian. Period. Full stop.

“Trump is engaging the full power of the presidency to settle scores. The White House was not meant for petty tyrants on revenge tours. In the biggest job in the world, Trump seems like a very small man.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/12/o...

Who could be disenfranchised by the SAVE Act? ❌69M women who changed their name after marriage ❌21.3M Americans who don't readily have access to proof of citizenship documents ❌3.8M Americans who don't have proof of citizenship documents at all www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

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?

Exactly

Elon Musk is such a sad, pathetic little man.

Alina Habba has launched a criminal probe into New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy over "ICE obstruction." Immigration control is the responsibility of the federal government. States can’t be compelled to assist ICE under the 10th Amendment. It's amazing this failed lawyer passed the bar exam.

Trumpism is like climate change: it's already here, it has done irreparable damage, and even if we take action now we'll be dealing with it's impact for the rest of our lives.

This, for the love of Pete, this

This is exactly what I needed today 💗 🎥TT|dogfamily612

People don’t want to travel to American when (a) it’s expensive and (b) they are hearing horror stories of tourists being held by ICE

RFK believes that he is one of the genetic elect and that it is a violation of the natural order to either impose on the genetic elect with public health OR prevent nature from taking its course with those who are predestined to biological damnation.

The dream is dead

Oh this is VERY worrying

The GOP bill, a direct product of President Donald Trump’s decade-long obsession with illegal voting, would require documentary proof of citizenship for voter registration, bar states from counting late-arriving mail ballots, and dramatically infringe on states’ authority to run elections.

This. Also under what authority are they being held. They are not serving criminal sentences. They are not in pre-trial detention for pending immigration charges. And they are not being held in order to facilitate deportation as they have already been removed.

Dr Peter Marks, "Vaccines have been studied very extensively for being potentially associated with autism" "That theory has been debunked" "One study in Denmark, over 600,000 children. It shows that if anything, children had a lower rate of autism than unvaccinated children"

Keep talking about the Signal security lapse at the Pentagon. The media may have forgotten about it, but the voters have not.

During remarks to FDA employees today, RFK Jr touted his work for the Special Olympics but shocked several FDA employees when he said he spent 200 hours in high school working with “the retarded.”

Raskin: They want to go back to the idea that the law doesn’t apply to them in anyway, they’re not bound by the law, and they can use the law to crush other people

Here's the reality: they've backed themselves into a corner. If they bring him home there will be hell to pay. It's clear that they believe that the lesser hell is not bringing him home. So we need to make that hell the worse hell. Start calling and screaming at all of your representatives now! 1/2

From the 2024 presidential immunity oral arguments: "But the liberal justices voiced concern that by offering presidents a shield from prosecution, the court could turn the Oval Office into a “seat of criminality,” as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson described it."

The "freight train" coming for the separation of church and state is receiving scant coverage. Before I left my job at POLITICO, I was heavily researching the case at the center of it all -- started in Oklahoma. Justice Barrett's good friend helped seed it, which I reported. I have more to share 👇

I’ve never seen a tweet that more effectively communicates how we got to this current situation

When you are one hundred percent committed to battling anti-semitism:

When DOJ filed its response to Judge Xinis around 12:15 pm today, it said: “Plaintiff is in the custody of a foreign sovereign.” Drew Ensign’s name was on the brief. An hour later, at the hearing, Ensign told the judge that he didn’t have info on Garcia’s whereabouts and custodial status. ???
