Watching today's politics is like watching the Gaslighting Olympics. “We’re saving democracy!” they shout… …while actively destroying it on live TV. But guess what? We’re done playing their game! Come join the actual team of liberty. No tryouts. Just courage. #TeamDemocracy

They had lawyers, trials, most were given pretrial release, allowed to testify in their own defense, got discovery, could call witnesses, could cross-examine witnesses, could present mitigation at sentencing, and had a right to appeal.

National security clearances? Overrated. Now you too can stay in the loop—thanks to Pete Hegseth’s Friends & Family Plan! youtube.com/shorts/-CKXq...

WATCH: “If I were the governor I’d be a little concerned.” @votebo.bsky.social (D) says the trial of disgraced ex speaker Glen Casada (R) and his then chief of staff Cade Cothren, starting this week, may touch on @GovBillLee’s voucher scam. Current speaker Sexton (R) is set to testify.

Measles cases spread to three more states. Louisiana, Virginia and Missouri each confirmed their first cases over the weekend, with at least 27 states now reporting the disease. #BlueSky #MedSky www.independent.co.uk/news/health/... www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

BREAKING NEWS: The White House has begun the process of looking for a new secretary of defense, according to a U.S. official who was not authorized to speak publicly.

Passport, blank checks, $3K in cash, driver’s license, makeup, and meds? Sound like a flight risk

Happy Easter, EVERYONE!! 👇 Seemed. Appropriate. Today. 😎✨

Seriously.

The FDA is said to be preparing to end most of its routine safety inspections, so…

Happy Easter to all who are celebrating today. This season of renewal invites us all to believe in the triumph of light over darkness, life over death, love over hate.

Honestly, me too.

My friend took my picture today while I was handing out senator phone lists. About 500 handed out. Then handed out postcards. About 1800 handed out. Home now and achy. LOL This was in Portland OR. Were you out today?

Right Now, most of the American can relate to this message from the 90's.

As long as we’re deporting people with tattoos.

These are my people. (Born in Concord, raised in neighboring Acton.)

“Are you worried?” That is always the first question. “Of course I am worried,” I respond. “The president of the United States considers me an enemy and has promised retribution. I would be an idiot not to be worried. But I am not going to give in. I will continue to fight.”

As you read about a proposed EO eliminating most African diplomacy, replacing the foreign service exam w/loyalty oaths, and mandating that AI do the hard thinking, make sure you read the final ¶, which notes there are several proposals. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/20/u...

Remember the 6 men who forcibly removed Dr. Teresa Borrenphol from the Coeur d'Alene town hall? They’ve been arrested and charged! www.kivitv.com/news/six-men...

Rep. Jason Crow: "You know what I think the right thing, politically, to do is? Actually just do the right thing. If we do the right thing and we defend people, if we defend the innocent, if we defend our democracy, the politics tend to take care of themselves."

We went to #Austria for 3 days, and it was magical. The mountains, the lakes, the villages - all was just as we imagined it would be. #photography #travel

Maybe we should honor the women who were real astronauts. From left to right are Shannon W. Lucid, Margaret Rhea Seddon, Kathryn D. Sullivan, Judith A. Resnik, Anna L. Fisher, and Sally K. Ride. NASA selected all six women as their first female astronaut candidates in January 1978.

250 years ago today America began its march toward independence at the Battles of Lexington and Concord. The battles marked “No Kings Day, Part I.” Today millions of Americans will take part in “No Kings Day, Part II.”

That orange fucker needs to go right now. This has been the worst 89 days ever in the history of any president.

We owe it to those already there to make this right. In whatever equitable way possible.

Bruh, Robert F Kennedy Jr is one of those anti vaccine conspiracy theory people linking vaccines and autism together. Remember I'm one of the smart people on spectrum and y'all's president is on the lower end of the same GD spectrum.👀

One point that's going to get lost in the discussion of #SCOTUS's intervention in the Alien Enemy Act case: This is the *value* of nationwide injunctions. Without them, you have to go district by district, and the government can try to play games by moving people to districts without relief (yet).

Good morning and happy Saturday. Ordering 30,000 real eggs to waste rolling down the lawn of the White House on a Christian holiday, during an egg shortage, after promising to lower the price of eggs, is the peak analogy of this administration. He spits in their faces and they moisturize with it.

It is not normal for so many federal judges, from across the spectrum, to issue so many orders against the gov't. It is even less normal for so many judges to say gov't has violated orders. It is least normal for so many judges to say they can't trust what gov't officials & DOJ lawyers tell them.

Always great when the agency in “turmoil” is … {checks notes} … the United States Department of Defense.

Dark Ferris Bueller.

History always has a lesson.

I cannot say this strongly enough -- If you are a member of the DC Bar, VOTE NOW for Diane Seltzer for president.

Corporate sponsors for the usually apolitical event held on the White House South Lawn include tech giants Meta, YouTube and Amazon.

If anyone is able to do so, attend one of today's anti-Trump rallies. Unless there is a huge turnout, MAGA doesn't care. Make sure they notice.
