It’s actually wild how easy it is to be a Dem Rep or Senator right now and they are pretty much all failing. The media attention is right there! There is so much ammo, for fuck sake use it!!

Now we are cooking.

Ratio King. Our opposition party is non-existent, what a fucking joke. Baffles me that not a single Dem has effectively galvanized the anger and fervor of the base for their personal gain, THE DOOR IS WIDE OPEN, BE A FUCKING POLITICIAN.

New — I spoke to the school principal of Sackets Harbor, NY, where ICE handcuffed and disappeared a mother and 3 kids (including a 3rd grader). It’s also the town Trump Border Czar Tom Homan calls home. Cook tells me about how the small town is taking on enormous power to bring the students home:

“As protesters marched by Homan’s waterfront home on Saturday, a sign on a neighbor’s lawn—a photo of which was shared with me by rally attendee Ginger Storey-Welch—read: “WE NO LONGER HAVE A DIFFERENCE IN POLITICAL OPINION. WE HAVE A DIFFERENCE IN MORALITY.”” 🔥🔥🔥 @marisakabas.bsky.social

INCREDIBLE: Literally MILLIONS of people took part in “Hands Off!” protests against Trump and Elon Musk across all 50 states and globally today, organized by a pro-democracy movement in response to what they call a “hostile takeover” and attack on American rights and freedoms. #HandsOff

Happy Birthday to the goat.

The market is crashing, a recession is looming, and the country is more isolated than ever after Trump declared a trade war on nearly all our allies — meanwhile, he’s at his Doral Golf Club in Miami for the Saudi-owned LIV golf tournament. What a disgrace.

"I don't want a Disney vacation of our history! I don't a whitewashed history, I don't want a homogenized history. Tell me the wretched truth about America, because that speaks to our greatness" -- 20 hours into his speech, Cory Booker is spitting absolute 🔥

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Holy shit. “I confess that I’ve been inadequate. That the Democrats have been responsible for allowing the rise of this demagogue.” Gives an impassioned apology and points to this as a moment of personal vow to action.

BREAKING: Trump admin says it mistakenly deported a Maryland father who had *withholding of removal* back to El Salvador on March 15. Govt told court Monday it won't bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back. "What.The.Fuck..." one govt attorney told me. www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... @theatlantic.com

The Trump administration has acknowledged that it mistakenly deported a Maryland father with protected status to El Salvador—but claims that the courts cannot order him back. A @nickmiroff.bsky.social exclusive:

Most of the towns in the part of South Texas where I live—the Río Grande Valley—are partly underwater as we live through some of the heaviest rain in more than a century, breaking records going back to 1911. No one was ready. With government weather alerts being dismantled, the cost will be high.

Thew *new* Republican Party is the same as the old one. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

"A terrified young student, snatched off the street by a masked police force taken thousands of miles across the country without anyone knowing. It is as flatly authoritarian as anything we have ever seen in this country," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on Tufts student Rumeysa Ozturk's detention.
