Do NOT drop this story. Keep hitting it hard. They could have killed our pilots.

In this interview on antisemitism with Bret Stephens (!), Chuck Schumer name checks Ilhan Omar, but does not mention the guy who is running the federal government, did a Sieg Heil on Inauguration Day and regularly spouts Great Replacement propaganda. This guy has got to go.

Need to print this out and frame it near my desk

So look at that. DOGE has cost the US Treasury fucking half a trillion dollars. HALF A TRILLION DOLLARS. This is your cost savings.

It never got a lot of attention, but Aber put a WHOLE LOT of child predators w/ties to law enforcement in prison. www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/f...

Always funny running into “You must be one of those intolerant liberals who can’t stand disagreement” No, I spent my teens and early 20s studying politics and saw that conservatives had very little to offer outside civil libertarianism on individual rights, which they don’t even apply consistently

What Vance is doing here is ENORMOUS disinformation. International students at the undergrad level typically pay full tuition, which subsidizes tuition for American students on financial aid by keeping tuition costs lower. At the grad level, domestic students are harder to recruit!

I am once again urging news organizations to learn the difference between questions and answers

I don’t know if I’d expect it in Texas but a big part of how abortion became legal federally in Canada is jury nullification.

You guys, you'll never believe who couldn't make it to his own town hall...

I am told Bluesky is an echo chamber.

Citizens of foreign countries seem to have a much better grasp on how exactly to wield economic pressure via boycotts than we do here in the US and that sure is something.

this is a bad sign for the administration on the Roberts Rudeness Index (the metric I made up for whether John Roberts thinks that somebody has been Rude, and therefore rules against them)

reshare for alt text and countdown to calls for roberts to be impeached

We are facing an unconstitutional threat to our country and our freedoms through an illegal power grab Now is the time to make our voices heard handsoff2025.com

Trump’s claim that Biden’s autopen voids pardons is nonsense. Bush’s DOJ already said it’s legal. Obama used it in 2013. The real problem? The Heritage Foundation’s push to turn pardons into a lawless free-for-all. It’s Project 2025 in action.

We have to remember an alternate reality? Prove it, Morono.

Lifelong Texan here. It pains me to say this but… Don’t send your kids to this state, especially girls. College? PASS. Women, don’t start businesses here. Physicians, do residencies anywhere else. Hopefully those of us here making good trouble can begin to right the ship in 2026. Stay safe.

Three years ago, three other reporters and I ID'd and called any school accused of having litter boxes for furries. We found one (1) in the entire country: Columbine's school district. Cat litter was for a "go bucket," in case kids were locked in during a shooting. www.nbcnews.com/tech/misinfo...

Researching for a lecture and randomly came across the death date of Herbert Hoover again (Oct. 20, 1964). It’s so odd to think he lived to see Kennedy assassinated, the Beatles in the charts, and the Civil Rights Act passed.

They don’t want women getting PhDs, they want them pregnant

Sometimes I think about how we spent eight years making fun of George W. Bush for being dumb, and nothing he ever said is as moronic as ten things that come out of Trump's mouth on any give day.

“.. treating the North American economy as a personal plaything ..” - WSJ, 3/6/25 www.wsj.com/opinion/dona...

One of these things is not like the others

Convicted Felon Donald Trump and his stupidity will bankrupt hundreds of wine and liquor stores around the country. Unemployment will again increase. He. Doesn't. Care. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #TrumpIsACriminal #FuckTrump www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

and this is the behavior by one of our few outlets that takes a tiny portion of corporate money and is endlessly demonized by right wing propagandists as radically socialist most major U.S. media companies have responded to authoritarianism by becoming bigger chickenshits than ever

As the DOW continues to plummet amid Trump's trade wars, it has now fallen way below where it was before the election and even below where it was 6 months ago.

A coalition of 21 states sues over cuts to Education Department www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

it is absolutely fucking shameful that they did this, maligning tens of thousands of people to try to get around the legal protections they are entitled to and screwing them on future prospects at the same time good on Judge Alsup for calling it out

In 2 years, there will be a staggering 2.5M people in Social Security’s DISABILITY backlog. That figure is higher than the population of 20 U.S. states & territories. The disability backlog & long wait times shine a light on the problematic focus of Trump & Musk's "DOGE". thehill.com/opinion/whit...

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.” The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

The purpose of the Environmental Protection Agency is ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION. Nixon created it with bipartisan support. Trump is tearing it down. Gutting emissions rules. Killing climate protections. Siding with polluters. 50 years of progress down the drain.

This is also why folks need to stay LOUD—make your opinions known. It’s making a difference.

Trump is ending Medicaid and Medicare covering tele-medicine -- a brilliant modern method of care that my immobile parents rely on, Veterans rely on, and millions of other Americans rely on. Americans are being hurt so Trump can line billionaires pockets. Is this OK with you?

This is their goal. Everything else is bullshit.

Governor Walz is back on the scene and he’s not pulling any punches. ✊🏼 Good to see you Coach!!

Trump's own former chief of staff warned the country about this exact thing, at great risk to himself, and the New York Times imes ran it on A14 and buried it

If the people who hired me had to spend part of their day begging me to do my job, I wouldn't last long in that position, would I? So why do we have to spend parts of our days begging our elected officials to do what they were hired to do? Yeah, that's the mood I'm in this morning. 🤬

I cannot overstate how much I love the fact that Williams & Connolly put *14* individual lawyers’ names in the signature block of their complaint. W&C is sending a clear message: We are not afraid. BRAVO.

Daily Reminder: Social Security is OUR money, an EARNED benefit!

i think shutting the government down is preferably to nullifying article i of the constitution

Broke: Vandalizing Tesla dealerships/Tesla vehicles. Woke: SWATting a Tesla dealership or Tesla driver.

The NYT, WaPo, LAT, CNN, etc etc have shifted to the right. Fox & the Post et al have always been hard right. Twitter & Meta are controlled by right wingers. On a daily basis, millions of Americans - probably the majority - see nothing but sanitized, accomodationist, right wing coverage of Trump.
