Good morning!

“If this can happen in a Member of Congress’s office, it can happen to anyone — and it is happening...” www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Why are so many law enforcement officers wearing masks now? Embarassed?

This is how the news should report Trump’s rants. If news networks won’t do their job, I guess I’ll have to do it for them. 🤷🏾‍♀️

"Each time the populace shifts to accept a new norm, a new level of cruelty, a new outrage, the White House is further emboldened and the rules are reset. The deportations and renditions of innocent people without due process begins with migrants, but it will not end there."

America cannot long remain free, nor first among nations, if it becomes the kind of place where universities are dismantled because they don't align politically with the current head of the government.

Good morning from Cocoa Beach!

This is absolutely terrible news. With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately. h/t @merz.bsky.social

Yes, we noticed. You're still here.

Great question

This should be bigger news: ICYMI - Project 2025’s puppet master Russell Vought just replaced Elon as head of DOGE. People still in denial & believe Trump knew nothing about Project 2025, need to explain why he just handed the keys to the whole damn thing to its architect. He is the plan. Wake up.

Amazing stuff

I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

That is in fact what this administration has done.

“Just one more thing. When you ‘discovered’ America, were there any other people there at the time?”

It would be stupid not to accept a gift of a free plane? Donold, let me tell you a story about a wooden horse...

Yup. That’s the one.

The GOP wanted to impeach Biden for a fake $5M bribe from Ukraine that was made up by a guy sitting in prison for lying about it, but they’re cool with a $400M plane from Qatar. Do I have that right?

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

Only Congress has this power. Sorry, Peewee German.

It’s not that they don’t know what the constitution says. They know what it says. Just like they knew what it said when they asked Pence to ignore it. They just don’t care. They believe it can be rewritten by bending it to their will, if enough of them decide to do it.

At last, moral leadership from an American who now leads much of the world’s faithful. No wonder we are all profoundly hopeful.

To be effective, our opposition to today's abuses must run alongside a clear picture of what we are actually for - and how everyday life could be better with different leadership.

WATCH: “One person is not allowed to raise taxes… the founding fathers saw this and said taxation begins with Congress…” @RandPaul rips his own Republican caucus for turning their backs on “conservative principles” to “let the president do whatever”. #TrumpTradeWar

CNBC: Are you threatening to pull CBS's license? FCC COMMISSIONER BRENDAN CARR: It's not a threat. That's a penalty that is in the communications act.

I am not often quoted in @nytimes.com DealBook, but I hope the business community is listening.

“.. If they don’t change the tariffs, it’s going to be an extinction-level, asteroid-wiping-out-the-dinosaurs kind of event,” he told me. “Only these aren’t dinosaurs. These are dynamic, healthy businesses.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/business/tar...

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

Let us be the sunlight that destroys the mold upon our nation.

Two dolls because of one clown.

MAY DAY protests include Nashville… www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

Spot on protest sign! 🍿

Perfect tweet 🏆

Who wants to pay big bucks to a law firm that won't even fight for itself?

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Last place. Loser.

Al Gore ripped the Trump administration to shreds in a speech Monday at a climate week event in San Francisco.

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.

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

The convicted felon who has benefitted from due process his whole life wants to remove due process for everyone else.

When I left the Washington Post in 2023, my colleagues and I were worried AI would hoover up our work and enable "zombies" to churn out stories based on our reporting and writing styles. Today WaPo announced a partnership with OpenAI. And here it is: Zombie Gillian Brockell. I DID NOT WRITE THIS.

I’m honored to be named Advocate of the Year for the 29th Annual Webbys! Every day, I fight to make sure our communities are seen, heard, and protected—so to be recognized for that work at the Webbys means the world. Follow along on Monday, May 12 at #Webbys.

Why do people think he’s a Christian? Every word he types is complete distain for others.
