If you want to know what Republicans value, look at their budget. It paves the way for massive cuts to Social Security, Medicaid and SNAP— And mammoth tax cuts for billionaires. Their top priority is pleasing Trump's golf pals and corporations shipping jobs overseas. Not you.

As Trump and Hegseth’s dangerous and damaging loyalty purge of the military continues. The economy and markets are important. But this ongoing and widespread removal of non-loyal senior officers across the military and around the world should be the biggest story in America.

Probably people with paranormal powers good at reading the mind of Trump and members of his inner circle. Or maybe just a lot of lucky people. I’m sure nobody leaked the announcement to anyone. That would be illegal.

"I told you so." Here is one of the signals. He pauses the tariffs while raising another. I call it the yo-yo insider trading scam for Trump's foreign contacts. 👇 bsky.app/profile/will...

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA): "I'm writing to the White House to demand who knew in advance that the President was going to, once again, flip flop on tariffs. And are people cashing in? There is just all too much opportunity for people in the White House and the administration to be insider trading"

Just remembered this adorable old video, this kid has such good comic timing I hope you’re thriving out their queen

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

If a future Democratic trifecta wanted to float a trial balloon on expanding the Supreme Court, they should expand the lower courts to the point that their appointments in red states are the majority. And scrap the convention of giving the senators of a state a say in who gets nominated.

Every word of this piece from @cmgreer.bsky.social is on point. READ and share it. We’re sick of it. Wake up! www.nytimes.com/2025/04/07/o...

You may be fearing your 401k is no longer enough for you to retire. But with all the cuts to NIH and Medicare you also won't live as long. So the policies are integrated.

Here in Boston, we don't back down.

Thousands of Minnesotans showed up today to say: Enough is enough. Hands off our Medicare, Medicaid & Social Security. We stand for democracy & a strong economy. No to billionaires like Elon Musk running our country.

Massive #HandsOff rallies across the country 🔥🔥🔥

Saint Paul, Minnesota #3E #Handsoff #FiftyFiftyOne 📷 @airblair.bsky.social

ICYMI: From March 23rd, protestors from both sides of the US and Canada border held a protest against the Trump regime. This is what the US oligarch media isn't showing you. The protests grow bigger every month. #3E #Handsoff #FiftyFiftyOne

Hands Off Lansing, Michigan @maddow.msnbc.com

Rockford, IL @maddow.msnbc.com

Hands off Madison, Wisconsin

It’s HUGE. Over a mile long now. #handsoff Kalamazoo #protest #resist

@NormEisen.bsky.social: [We] went to court to stop Musk and DOGE on the very first day, the very first case brought w/ Rob and @publiccitizen.bsky.social and labor…And since then, we won that and dozens more, the coalition did. And you know what? Trump and musk can't stand all that losing! #HandsOff

JUST NOW at the @SenWarren town hall in NASHVILLE: “How can kids help things get better?” ❤️ @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty wont do town halls because they can’t face these tough questions. So Senator Warren is.

Love this! @gomez.house.gov is hosting an organizing town hall to train his constituents to hit battleground districts—and talk to real people about what’s going on with the big bill in Congress, and how it will gut our healthcare and Social Security. THIS is meeting people where they are.

Woah, I missed this opus from @malwaretech.com -- well worth the read. One point he makes is the US is likely already engaging in Salt Typhoon-like operations, something that multiple experts have suggested to me when I ask about the degree to which DOGE has exposed the US further to APT groups.

Retour sur la cyberopération chinoise d'espionnage de Salt Typhoon. Excellent article de @staillat.bsky.social dans DSI mars-avril. A lire conjointement au rapport 2025 de l'ANSSI sorti depuis.

Late last October, U.S. national security officials confirmed an alarming development: A Chinese hacker operation known as Salt Typhoon had targeted the cell phones of Donald Trump and JD Vance.

Tech/Policy nerds: I'll be testifying tomorrow morning in House Government Oversight on "Salt Typhoon: Securing Americas Telecommunications From State-Sponsored Cyber Attacks", at 10AM in HVC-210. Hearing will be webcast. Hearing website (which doesn't yet include all the witnesses or written […]

For those who don't follow legislative minutiae, there was a hearing on Salt Typhoon (and, inevitably, Signal) yesterday in House Government Reform. My testimony focused on how Salt Typhoon was enabled by telecom wiretap mandates dating back to the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement […]

General Haugh has served our country in uniform, with honor and distinction, for more than 30 years. At a time when the United States is facing unprecedented cyber threats, as the Salt Typhoon cyberattack from China has so clearly underscored, how does firing him make Americans any safer?

Illinois will not waver in fostering a relationship of shared growth and opportunity for Illinois and Mexico.

Imagine you’re Timothy Haugh, a decorated general, confirmed unanimously by the Senate to head the NSA. And while you’re traveling abroad, you find out the President just fired you on the advice of a 9/11 truther whose bigotry once got her banned by Uber.

BREAKING NSA Director General Timothy Haugh, the chief of the U.S. government’s most powerful intelligence-gathering agency, has been fired. His deputy, Wendy Noble, has been fired as well. (Cipher Brief, Washington Post, Reuters all reporting)

I still think this is the reason Trump is tanking the economy.

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

I'm here in Mexico to ensure our international partners know they can trust Illinois to remain committed to our shared goals. Over the week, our delegation has met with leaders to discuss business, government, and how we can strengthen our economies for the good of our people.
