ICE Agents Wait At Edge Of Delivery Table To Deport Newborn

Let’s do this @contrariannews.org ! 🔥

Governor JB Pritzker just announced that Illinois will be defunding investments in companies controlled by El Salvador to punish the country for holding American residents without due process. More of this.

🔥 @ninajankowicz.com to the European Parliament: "Before I describe the details of Russia's recent online influence campaigns, I would like to call upon you to stand firm against another autocracy: The United States of America."

NEW: Pete Hegseth’s Signal chats about pending strikes in Yemen included information from a top general’s secure messages to him, three U.S. officials with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

Pete Hegseth has one sideburn. did the other one get shaved off as a prank or what?

"Unlike the chat in which The Atlantic was included, the newly revealed one was created by Hegseth. Named “Defense | Team Huddle,” it included his wife and about a dozen other people.... He used his private phone, not his government one, to access the Signal chat." www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

New: Pete Hegseth shared sensitive information about military strikes to another Signal group chat that included his wife and brother.

On CNBC today, Elizabeth Warren had to explain to anchor Sara Eisen that Congress can in fact take away Trump's tariffs authority, and also that America is not ruled by a king who can make laws by decree.

"After nearly five hours, he and his wife were released. They are now pursuing legal action. "It's not about the immigrants," his sister, told NBC10 Boston. "It's coming to us Americans, and it's going to go after all of us." www.nbcboston.com/news/politic...

Musk’s DOGE involved in what appears to be a foreign espionage operation and data theft. They also have death threatened US federal whistleblowers and disabled security systems, deliberately allowing Russian IPs to access sensitive US federal government systems. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...

Cohen: Take MeidasTouch Network. They’re beating Joe Rogan, they’re beating Fox, they’re beating the lame stream news. So when there’s a march, all you have to do is contact the Meiselas brothers — next thing you know, you’ve got ten million people showing up. That’s an army.

Wow. Harvard University says they will not comply with Trump’s demand to “audit” the viewpoints of their student body or else be defunded. More of this.

A helpful guide to the current state of US trade policy:

Again, worth at the last considering the possibility that he’s a malevolent idiot who has no idea what he’s doing.

Parents Gently Explain To Child That Their Money In Heaven Now

ChatGPT consumes so much water and energy each week that it could power entire countries for YEARS and folk act like you told them to kill their selves cause you want them to write their own emails and not to steal art. 😂

can’t make this stuff up

Bill Burr is a national treasure 🎯! "You journalists need to get your balls back"

Trump: "An old fashioned term that we use -- groceries. I used it on the campaign. It's such an old fashioned term, but a beautiful term. Groceries. It says a bag with different things in it."

🚨 NEW via POLITICO: Waltz’s team set up at least 20 Signal group chats for crises across the world Mike Waltz’s team used at least 20 Signal chats to coordinate official work on Ukraine, China, Gaza, and more—often discussing sensitive info. This goes way beyond what was previously known.

After getting some rest, I am in awe of everyone who continues to lift their voice and speak out. This is a moment for our country, and we must make a choice about the America we want to be.

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.'"

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?

I spoke to an expert in authoritarianism, who explained to me that things like this are extremely meaningful and they help protect democracy, even if there’s not a straight line between this and actual legislating

ICYMI — SENATOR BOOKER: “I rise to disrupt the business of the senate for as long as I am physically able… because I believe sincerely our country is in crisis.” 🇺🇸

They love this “run the government like a business” canard coz it conjures images of efficiency and accountability. The reality is, it’s about increasing profits for the few over the wellbeing of the many. If the government operated the way a business does, the citizenry should rightfully revolt.

It gets worse. This Signal situation is just the tip of the iceberg of incompetence in this administration.

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Them: “no ‘war plans’ were discussed” The chat:

Well, they lied. Obviously.

Pete Hegseth: “Nobody texted war plans.”

Sure looks like this is classified information to me in the newly released Signal group chat texts from Jeffrey Goldberg at The Atlantic. Pete Hegseth is cooked. 🍿

It’s like Watergate, only in this version Nixon directly mails the tapes to Woodward and Bernstein

Wyden: "I'm of the view that there ought to be resignations, starting with the national security adviser and the secretary of defense."

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

The decisive test of our society in my lifetime was the 2024 election and our failure was spectacular and total. I will never again have any faith in the American electorate to do the obviously right thing.

Baseball media: if you do not loudly report on this I do not want to hear a goddamn thing from you about Jackie Robinson on April 15. bsky.app/profile/fbih...

If the MLB Network and all MLB media outlets don't cover this then they better not mention his name this season.

this is the single most fascist thing a US federal official has ever said on the record in two hundred and forty nine years
