On brand! They take everything and run! Not builders at all

Weird, no?

Sure the chicken will kill you but at least you won’t have to read about Black airmen!

Dear Canada: tomorrow is Election Day. This is Mark Carney. Hint, hint.

I have some breaking news: a list of all the countries with which the Trump administration has failed to make a tariff deal.

Mark Carney is My Choice. #VoteCanada #StrongerTogether #CanadaStrong #Never51 #NeverPoilievre

Hear me out…. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/24/s...

Sit and Talk - State Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan arrested for chasing ICE and “friends” out of a state court house in part because they didn’t have a case in court, and didn’t have a judicial warrant for an alien in court on a different case - youtu.be/I6oxcEMltog?...

If deporting US citizen children with cancer isn’t your redline, it’s time to reassess your priorities.

1/6 Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital. ❤️ “The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches... They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports... It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor.

The Democratic Party is now the party of free trade, national security, economic growth, and fiscal responsibility.

I spoke with Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum this morning. In a shifting global economy, strong and reliable partners matter. Canada and Mexico are focused on deepening our trade relations and building stronger economies, together.

moving forward I would like to see dems gum up the works every way possible. No unanimous consent, full votes on every tiny piece of business. I don't expect everyone to have the stamina to do a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but many lengthy floor speeches. Just slow everything down to a crawl.

Donald Trump doesn’t give a shit about inflation or the people who voted for him.

JD Vance just one more embarrassment.

What the actual fuck:

The members of the Jan 6 Committee are all proud of our work. Your threats will not intimidate us. Or silence us.

📌It fucking amazes me that EVERY country outside the U.S. understands that EVERYTHING Trump is doing benefits Russia -- EXCEPT the corporate, mainstream media. 📌Seriously, it blows my mind that this isn't in all their reporting. They are either complicit (possible), or incompetent (probable).

Schumer cancels his town halls

Moskowitz: As far as Pam Bondi is concerned—you know, don’t touch a Tesla. Why? Are the Epstein files in the Tesla?

It’s alright if it’s someone else

#ProudBlue #ResistanceUnited At the very least, Chuck Schumer should be primaried. It would be good if he would step down from leadership in the Senate. It’s time for some new, younger leadership in the Democratic Party. We need leaders willing to fight hard, our democracy is in crisis.

The US Director of National Intelligence reposting a Russian propagandist in Malaysia posting lies that track Kremlin propaganda about an organization that has been a beacon of light to people around the world since 1942. We are entering a very dark place.

What? You think I'm scared of you? Cool story bro. open.substack.com/pub/harrydun...

Resistance backlash upends Chuck Schumer's book tour

Everything we have stood around the world going back 80 years - collective security, honoring alliances, helping friends & allies, feeding the hungry, treating & curing diseases, humanitarian aid, the rule of law, broadcasting truthful news to people who can’t get it - all gone.

The Republican Party is officially gone

How is this prediction going so far?

The eventual fate of the GOP

From interview of Lee Bollinger, 1st Amendment scholar who served as dean of @UMichLaw, president of @UMich, and president of Columbia University. www.chronicle.com/article/were...

Hundreds of people gathered at Patriots Park right now in Tarrytown for a Stop the Cuts Rally — holding Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) accountable for his vote to decimate Medicaid.

Schumer enabled GOP power plays, failed to protect democracy, and abandoned the people when it mattered most. He’s lost the fight—and our trust. It’s time for new leadership. @schumer.senate.gov Time To Step Down @dearlstephens.bsky.social lays out the case perfectly here 🔥 (link in thread)

I really like her

Sen. Mark Kelly: "I think it's probably the worst 50 days of any presidency I can think of in my life. It's been, you know, pretty much a shit show since day one" Full interview on the MeidasTouch Podcast 👇 Apple: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/4UCi...

Literally this happens when you get rolled @schumer.senate.gov

NEWS: After an emergency meeting of Indivisible groups across the country, Indivisible is officially calling on Senate Minority Leader Schumer to step down from his leadership position. indivisible.org/statements/i...

These are the senators who collaborated with the GOP. Schumer Fetterman Cortez Masto Durbin King Shaheen Gillibrand Schatz Hassan Peters Don’t let them forget it. No peace for them.

An interesting theory on why Schumer supported the CR.
