Trump’s tariff stunt jolted markets & raised default odds to 6%—an unheard-of number. After telling Republicans to force a default under Biden, he’s now pretending to care. He’s playing games with the debt ceiling & risking economic collapse. Recession warning lights are flashing.

Even tho I know we are out of power,I’m feeling energy building.We will beat back this threat by all of us getting uncomfortable.The status quo will not suffice. You must be willing to talk to ppl where they are at, including those who did not vote #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Make it make sense

Convicted Felon Donald Trump and Muskolini hate you. They don’t care if you live or die, especially if you’re a veteran or senior citizen. What are you doing about it, Congress? @housedemocrats.bsky.social @democrats.senate.gov #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FuckTrump #FuckMusk

We rational Americans would like to apologize to our Canadian friends and neighbors…

Tariffs are a mess. They hurt everyday people. Prices go up, businesses suffer, and jobs are lost. It’s a classic case of those in power making decisions that hit the working class the hardest. We need fair trade, not this chaos. You know that. But we all need to keep saying it. #TariffTrouble

Before it was the assault weapon rifles on their lapels. What kind of man wears a "gold" pin of the profile of an authoritarian dictator? A person without a backbone or integrity...certainly an individual who has no self-worth or self-respect. #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

Musk's DOGE goons physically dragged a high-ranking Social Security executive from his desk for not going along with their plan to list more than 6,000 migrants as dead despite being alive. www.thedailybeast.com/doge-goons-p...

#DemVoice1 #ProudBlue 🧵WTAF - Trump has authorized the military to take control of federal lands on the southern border to help enforce his immigration agenda. Trump issued a memorandum to the secretaries of Defense, Interior, 1/5 www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Tonight’s MegaBoost is is honor of Donk & Brittney who were removed from this platform 4 weeks ago They are strong, democracy defenders, advocates for inclusion and just good people They deserve to be here Please sign the petition link provided www.change.org/p/reinstate-... go.bsky.app/NsvGjY8

This is what Musk and DOGE have *actually* tried to do: -- Kill USAID (investigating Starlink) -- Kill CFPB (regulator for X to be payment app) -- Move $2.3 BILLION contract from Verizon to Starlink -- Force Social Security Administration to use X exclusively 100% CORRUPTION

It's long. It's relevant, it's an eye opener. It's up to you. This puts Ukraine in a most disturbing light, as to what the Russians are doing, what they actually think of Ukrainians, and really, just how warped they are. It's an hour. Is Ukraine not worth at least that Folks??

ICE isn’t enforcing immigration—they’re tearing families apart. Musk isn’t reforming government—he’s wrecking it. Trump isn’t leading—he’s punishing. And people like Pam Bondi? They’re not defending the Constitution—they’re ignoring it. This isn’t governance—it’s authoritarianism in disguise.

It seems like every day we are focusing on what is happening to democracy in court. The best way to stay informed is to subscribe to Democracy Docket. Always fearlessly independent with no corporate overlords. It will not bow down. It will never obey. newsletters.democracydocket.com/all-newslett...

You ask me if I have any empathy or nuance to offer for the fifteen Democratic senators who voted to confirm Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary. No, I do not. I think they're cowards.

The congressional switchboard number is (202) 224-3121. This number can connect you to both the House of Representatives and the Senate offices.

it’s astounding how everyone hates elon musk and it’s clear the only reason they keep him around is to drain his endless money pit to fund republicans

Here is an up to date list of Big Law collaborators along with how much in free legal services they have pledged to Trump's causes. Paul Weiss 40M Cadwalader 100M Milbank 100M Skadden Arps 100M Willkie Farr 100M A&O Shearman 125M Kirkland & Ellis 125M Latham & Watkins 125M Simpson Thacher 125M

I guess Apple's the owner of a bunch of shitty Trump meme coins. www.cnbc.com/2025/04/12/t...

The North Carolina Supreme Court says thousands of overseas ballots must be cured within 30 days or be thrown out, possibly changing the outcome of the state supreme court race. The majority of contested ballots were accepted! What's the plan? How can we help? www.nytimes.com/2025/04/11/u...

The American Bar Association needs to declare war on the Trump regime because they are under siege. All professional organizations with codes of conduct and ethics codes are at odds with this regime and must fight for their members from this lawless bullying. www.cbsnews.com/news/justice...

Kilmar Abrego Garcia needs to come home. The Supreme Court agrees. Why aren't they complying? 1. They don't want him to come back because that means others can too. 2. They don't want him to bear witness to the regime's crimes against humanity. 3. He's dead and they know. (Hope I'm wrong)

Krasnov has decided the American Bar Association is an enemy of the state. No attorney that works for the regime cannot travel to, speak at, or engage with the ABA in their official capacities. However, they can retain memberships. www.cnn.com/2025/04/09/p...

What is the statute of limitations on human trafficking? Every state AG that's not crooked can use this as Exhibit A.

Sanders: Instead of spending $1 trillion a year on the military, let’s build 5 million units of low income and affordable housing..

A president who has the power to send an innocent human being to a foreign concentration camp, but claims he lacks the power to bring them back, is committing the crime of false imprisonment.

Beat a police officer on January 6 with a crowbar: Pardoned and protected. Speak out against the genocide in Gaza: Deported and deemed a national security threat. Fascist America #Khalil

There’s a special place in HELL for anyone who stands before the Supreme Court and argues that a man they wrongfully sent to an El Salvadorian death camp should stay there.

NEW: It’s 5 p.m. ET, and DOJ is officially late on its first daily court-mandated report on the status of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. But! Abrego Garcia's attorneys have just asked Judge Xinis to order the govt to take these specific steps to return him: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Why isn’t this man, at the very least, in a penthouse hotel room waiting to be brought home? Every second he is held in that hell hole is unconscionable. abcnews.go.com/Politics/sta...

Forgive the rant, but what the hell is this Administration doing?  Not gonna be easy to undo the damage, folks. But I’ve got some ideas on where to start.
