Watching The French Chef with Julia Child and she’s handling raw chicken and touching everything. 😭

FRIEND: "We're at risk of slipping into fascism." ME: "Oh, honey . . . when they are arresting judges and mayors, we've already slipped."

I swear, people asking why don’t our dreams have smartphones? Has the Devil downloaded and updated Excel is the real question.

Sinners was absolutely amazing. Make sure to stay for the mid-credits and end-credits scenes.

Effective Corporate Tax Rates 1950: 50% 2025: 13% Top Marginal Tax Rates 1950: 91% 2025: 37% If you’re curious as to why the rich have so much and you have so little, these are good places to start.

Check out how the anchors of CBS Evening News ended their broadcast tonight:

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

Just in case those of us fighting for democracy in court didn't need another challenge, Big Law turning collaborators is here and growing. My firm and others continue to fight. We will never back down. We will never bend a knee. We will never obey.

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.

Don’t get it twisted. Republicans' SAVE Act is an undemocratic voter suppression bill that makes it harder to vote for service members, married women, rural voters, folks of color, & millions of other US citizens. I voted NO. 19thnews.org/2025/04/save...

Good morning. Today is the 80th day that the U.S. President is running a backdoor bribery scheme in which any CEO or foreign oligarch can send him money secretly through his crypto coin scam in exchange for favors. It's the biggest scandal in the history of the Presidency.

The most important thing you must share today. Trump is destroying your life savings and ability to make a living for 1 reason: he wants to make us all beggars who bow to him, his donors and his family. Not sure why @chrismurphyct.bsky.social hasn’t posted this here but can’t be posted enough.

There are 33m companies in the USA. Only 21k employe 500 or more. And they only make up 23% of workers. Trump and Elon are ignoring the more than 32m entrepreneurs that can't afford to build a new factory or pay tariffs or absorb cancelled contracts.

oh look it is possible to create a news cycle messaging opportunity and excite the electorate if you energetically try to (do absolutely anything differently whatsoever), who on Earth could have predicted it

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble. For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity. What will you do?

Are you that discontented DOGE staffer? It might be time. You can reach out to me on Signal at joshtpm.99 (I'm not like Mike Waltz; I know how to use it.) You can also get me at joshtpm at protonmail dot com. Are you a federal worker with information I need to hear? I want to hear from you too.

1/ We wanted to take a moment to quickly introduce you to our HHS reporters. THREAD 🧵

🚨ALERT🚨: If yr a Dem involved in a Signal-adjacent oversight hearing I would ask if the DOD has sent around any recent security warning circulars flagging newly identified security exploits of the Signal App. Perhaps even one that specifically mentions Russian hacking groups? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Pete Hegseth must resign or be fired immediately.

THE GODFATHER was released 53 years ago today. A landmark of American cinema and widely regarded as among the greatest films ever made, the story of how it came to the big screen will bada-bing your brains all over your nice Ivy League suit… 1/46

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more. Taking back our power starts now.

We don't spend a penny on marketing. It's all word of mouth for @costplusdrugs.com That's how we keep prices so low. Please spread the word !

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

If they cancel NOAA I need Al Roker to come back and tell me what I need to wear every day.
